Bab 56: Sense of security

"I didn't… it was.." she tried to speak but nothing came out of her lips properly.

While she was trying to figure out how to hide what happened to Donovan it looked like she was afraid of the witch. 

He thought that Silja as a human has never dealt with a situation like this and what she witnessed today has scared her.

He looked at her red eyes which were trying to hold the tears back and felt an urgency to console her.

He didn't know how but the woman in front of him was capable of evoking a protecting side from anyone. For Donovan, the current situation was something he never had dealt with.

The only time he has consoled someone was when Genie cried and whenever she felt like she just came and hugged him tightly.

With only reference from then, Don didn't know what to do.

But Silja, whose red-rimmed eyes and tears falling from them, was unbearable to him.

He looked at her helplessly before suddenly pulling her in his arms.
