Chapter 98: The summer solstice festival (5)

It seemed that everyone had a task they were passionate about, and Talia hoped that one day she will also have something that sets her spirit ablaze. At this point, Talia's focus was on surviving and gaining independence, and she believed that once she takes care of the basics, she will find her passion as well.

Talia flipped the ice and looked at Liam who was now smiling at her.

"But the numbing will go away and if I hurt you now, you will feel it later.", Talia responded.

Liam shook his head while thinking how Talia is a kind girl.
