Chapter 398: THE END

"Don't kill yourself, Maxen Devilsin. If you do, you will never see her again."

"Huh?"

"I am almost there." Her grip on his arm tightened. "So, hang in there, hmm?"

"What are you —"

"Conrad… will not make it if you also leave him." The woman continued, leaving no room for Maxen to ask questions. "Please… hang in there and… please, save my family."

Maxen's lips parted, but his words were stuck in his throat. All he could do was stare at the woman who was holding his arm as if her life depended on it, begging him not to die but save her family instead. He didn't know who she was, but she knew Conrad and Cosette. Looking at her more, Maxen suddenly had a conclusion in his head. 

"You are…" he trailed off as the woman clenched her teeth, tearing up. 

"If you take your life now, you will not see her again — we will not see her again," she said, shaking her head. "Help me, Maxen Devilsin. Help me save my daughter."
