Chapter 159: Chapter 36

Heart pounding, hands sweating, Heaven closed her eyes and finally stabbed him after a long moment of hesitance. She expected to feel her blade cut into something, a resistance, but it felt like she stabbed through thin air. 

Slowly, she opened her eyes. Zamiel was gone. She looked at her blade, no trace of blood. 

Heaven dropped the blade and fell to her knees. She buried her face in her hands and burst into tears. She cried loudly, not caring if anyone heard her. The relief that washed over her was overwhelming. She could not bear it. 

Zamiel. 

He chose her. 

He chose to not let her suffer. 

He chose her happiness over his own. 

She knew there was hope. She knew that there was a part of him that was still alive, a part of him that could still love and care. He just needed time and support. She would be there for him when he needed her.
