Chapter 172: CHAPTER 169

Ace felt like he had fallen into an abyss. He felt like he was about to die, and his expression was strained. He wanted to crawl out of the abyss, but it was too dark, and he could not find anything to hold onto. Delirious, he muttered, "Hold me!"

Suddenly, a small, warm hand reached out and held his. It felt like his saviour had found him, and his tense muscles gradually relaxed.

He even heard a tender voice, as if someone was calling after his lost soul. ' Ace, it's okay, I got you. You need to wake up now…"

Ace followed the voice and slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Joanna's beautiful features creased with worry.

"You're awake! You scared me." She heaved a long sigh of relief.
