The ice cream shop became silent. Everyone looked at Mag strangely.It was a strange disease that even nature magic could not heal, but Mag actually said that as long as he went to the restaurant and had red braised pork for three meals a day, he could be completely healed? Wasn’t that too absurd?

He’s not even letting go of the money from a child that’s about to die, isn’t that a little too much? Blour thought as he looked at Mag with a frown.

Although the food Boss makes is indeed delicious and extraordinary, could it really cure little Kyle’s illness? Miya was also a little uncertain. Even though Mag had always been very dependable, this was about little Kyle’s life and death. Could a bowl of red braised pork really be the cure?

Curtis’s jaw dropped too when he heard that. For a moment, he did not know what to say. This was the first time he heard someone say the words “completely cured”. He had tried so many cures, but to no avail, and watched as Kyle’s condition worsened. Actually, he was already not holding on to much hope.

This man runs a restaurant, after all, and not a medicinal hall. Besides, the old remedy he mentioned has nothing to do with herbs or treatments, but is to eat a specific dish in his restaurant.

If he met him outside, he would definitely give this conman a slap in his face.

But they had, after all, just organized such a thoughtfully planned birthday party for Kyle, and that magic caster even extended Kyle’s life for 10 days. This Mr. Mag did not look like a conman, either. This put him in a difficult position.

“Boss Mag, the child’s condition… might be slightly more serious than you think…” Xixi hesitated to speak as she looked at Mag. She knew that the dishes Mag made did have several extraordinary effects, and could even bring new life to her World Tree. However, she had just checked on little Kyle’s body, and his bodily functions were completely destroyed. Even using life magic was not able to save him.

Even I wouldn’t believe it after saying that. Mag looked at everyone’s gaze. He felt a little helpless too. If it had been him, he would probably have already landed a punch on the other party’s face.

“If Father says it can cure him, then it would definitely be able to cure him. I believe in Father,” Amy, who walked over with a snowball in her hand, said with certainty as she looked at Mag.

“I believe in Uncle Mag too.” Anna nodded.

Seeing the trust in the two little fellows’ gazes, Mag started to believe in himself too. He looked at Curtis calmly, and said, “Mr. Curtis, you might find it a little incredible, but I can take responsibility for my words. Of course, you are little Kyle’s father. You have the right to not believe me.”

Xixi looked at Mag’s gaze, thought for a while, and did not speak further.

She had always thought that Boss Mag was a mature and kind man. He definitely would not joke about something like this. He probably really had a way if he was able to say something so resolutely.

Everyone slowly believed him. The restaurant was not lacking customers. Many who lined up were not even able to get a taste of it. Mag did not need to lie to make Curtis buy a set of red braised pork.

Curtis was a little hesitant. If Kyle was really to depart, he would like to bring him back to their hometown because he had not been out of Chaos City before.

But if what Mag said was true, he would miss a chance to save Kyle’s life, and he would regret it for the rest of his life.

“Father, I want to try Uncle’s suggestion.” Just then, little Kyle walked over and reached out to hold Curtis’s hand. He looked up at him. “I still want to live on with you…”

Curtis’s tears fell immediately. He wiped them away quickly and looked at Mag as he said, “Mr. Mag, I believe you. I am willing to give you all my assets as long as it can cure Kyle. Please save him…”

Mag reached out to Curtis, who had gone down on his knees again, with a smile and shook his head as he said, “I don’t want your assets. You just need to foot the bill for the meal every day. There are quite a lot of customers in the restaurant. Remember to bring the child earlier to line up.”

“Alright, I will.” Curtis nodded hard as his eyes gleamed with gratitude.

The children played with the snow for a while more, and the birthday party ended on a happy note.

When the door opened, the three children rushed out first.

“It’s snowing! It’s really snowing!”

Amy’s excited voice came from outside.

Everyone walked out and was equally surprised. The soft snow fell slowly from the sky, looking extremely beautiful.

“It’s the first snow of the year. It came earlier than the previous years,” Yabemiya said with a smile as she reached her hand out to catch the snowflakes and watch them melt on her palm.

The children had been playing with snow for the entire night, but when they saw the snowflakes falling from the sky, they were still very excited.

“Alright, Amy, it’s time to go. We still have to go to school tomorrow,” Mag said with a smile.

“Goodbye, everyone.” Amy picked Ugly Duckling up and waved at the rest of them. She ran over to Mag and held his hand.

The rest of them also parted.

…

“Father, I am very happy today. Thank you,” Kyle said with a smile as he hugged his father in the horse-drawn carriage.

“I am very happy too.” Curtis held Kyle tightly, and gently said, “It’s all going to be fine. You will recover very soon, and when that happens, you will be able to have a snow fight with the children in the snow.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

…

After washing up, Amy lay on her little bed and used Ugly Duckling’s tummy as a hand-warmer. She looked at Mag, who was sitting by the bed, expectantly and said, “Father, would the entire world be covered in snow tomorrow morning?”

“If the snow is heavy enough tonight, that should be the case.” Mag nodded with a smile. He calculated the days. According to the earth’s calendar, it was almost the new year. He wondered if that desolate house would be able to remain lively with gatherings without him, but… it would probably be as desolate as it usually was.

“That’s great! It’s going to be super beautiful!” Amy said happily as her eyes shone.

Mag looked at Amy who was full of smiles, and he suddenly felt something inside. He had already forgotten how long it had been since he had last celebrated the New Year properly because every New Year, there were always people missing at home, and he also slowly became one of those who did not appear.

But it’s different now. He had Amy, and spending the New Year with her would probably be interesting like how they spent mid-autumn festival together, right?

“Father, what story are you telling me today?” Amy asked.

“Today, Father will tell you the story of Nian,” Mag said with a smile. “Once upon a time, in a place called China, there lived a monster called Nian. It has sharp horns on its head, and was very fierce and scary…”
