Damien's POV. "I— I never said I did not understand what you were talking about; I only said that it was not the right time to have that conversation. I know how much you care about your granddaughter, and I know what you're scared of—that the future is not guaranteed with the way I am always risking my life and you getting old—but I just want some time. I promise I am going to fix everything; I just need some time, Mother." I said to her in a calm voice, staring right into her eyes. "Time is not on our side, Damian; the earlier you do it, the better it is going to be for us both. You know I am not putting all of this pressure on you for myself; I do not even have a long time to leave anymore. I am only trying to make sure that our daughter is not stranded when things out of our control
