A Reminder (Ch.158)

Neveah's eyelids grew heavy, it was already impossible to hold up her hand and so Neveah's hand fell away from Xenon's cheek to her side.

Slowly, Neveah's eyes fluttered closed and it was at that moment that Xenon's grip on her throat loosened.

Neveah crumbled to the ground and a sudden surge of air invaded her airway, Neveah gasped, coughing violently as her lungs forcefully took in as much air as was possible.

Neveah gasped for breath as she held unto her throat, her chest visibly rising and falling rapidly whilst.

All the while, Xenon watched in horror, his hand still poised mid air and Neveah's blood dripping from his claws that had pierced into the sides of her neck.

The horrified look on his face reflected his disbelief at his own actions.

Neveah's coughing fit was yet to calm but she lifted a worried look to Xenon, at Neveah's stare, Xenon staggered backwards, unable to withstand Neveah's accusing look.
