Chapter 320: Forgotten One Thing

He rested his chin over her head as she buried her face in his chest and cried till she was tired of crying. When she didn't have tears to cry, she let out dry sobs. 

"I feel like such a fool…" she said in a hoarse voice. 

"Why?" he asked, happy to hear her voice. The clam around them was still closed tightly. It was as if it was protecting the occupants. 

"After so many years, it should have been nothing. The memories should have receded, but the moment I saw Nerio, they all… resurfaced." They came back to her like angry waves crashing through her body.
