GET YOUR SON AWAY FROM ME

NEOMA wasn't surprised by Ruto's feelings, though.

She had always known that he loved her, after all. And that wasn't the issue anyway.

[I never doubted that Ruto loves me. The question has always been "how much?"]

"Before you lost all your positive feelings for me, you said you'd choose me over the world or the greater good. If you have any plan to fall for me again, then you better make the same resolve. That's the only way to win me back," Neoma said, her heart aching while watching Ruto cry. Hence, her own tears already stopped falling. Now she was more concerned about Ruto than her own heart. "I'll touch your face, okay? Push me if you hate it."

Ruto just looked at her, his tears still rolling down his cheeks nonstop.

"It's okay to cry, but let's clean your handsome face first," Neoma said, wiping Ruto's tears, blood, and sweat off his face as carefully as possible. "Soju, a little help, please. Thank you."
