Capítulo 683: Once You Can Understand

Axel took a deep breath and lowered his head.

“I just… I don’t want her to feel any more burdened than she already does,” he sighed. “She is so… lost. I’m afraid of what she might do.”

Corrine sighed and laid her head back. She was tired. Though she had a different approach to handling Ashleigh, she, too, was worried about her.

“Ashleigh has never willingly been rescued,” she said. “Trying to save her will only lead to being dragged down with her. She must find her way out of the problem, or she’ll stay lost forever.”

“I don’t know how to ignore her pain,” he said.

“I didn’t say ignore it, just don’t try to solve it for her,” Corrine said.

Axel sighed. He leaned his head back into his chair and closed his eyes.

“It’s not your first time dealing with her, Axel. You know how, but right now, you pity her too much to realize it. And she knows that.”
