章 125: Flight

"Ace, please be careful…"

Phoenix stood in front of the door, her hand waving. She looked ethereal in the pink dress she wore. Her vibrant inky hair fell down her shoulders like a magnificent waterfall. It took me an incredible amount of self-control to stop myself from running towards her arms. Once I ran back, I knew I couldn't stop myself from staying. I have no option but to just watch her before I go or else I would not have the courage to leave.

She picked Faith Vienne from her stroller and placed her into her arms. She smiled and waved again. But behind her smile, I know she's sad too. She's simply trying to keep her wistfulness so I wouldn't feel bad.

But despite her efforts to keep it, I could read thoughts like an open book. We are connected with each other and there's nothing which she could keep from me.
