Capítulo 740: Relief

Iryz stiffened at the sight of him, slumped on the floor. She was jolted awake at the sound of what seemed like books falling onto the floor. When she rose, she saw that Zeres was gone and her room's door was wide opened. She rushed downstairs, afraid that something bad was going on just to find this. Him. Alone. And slumped over as though a disaster had struck him.

She then saw how he suddenly stiffened when he sensed her presence, but she could not make herself turn away anymore. Not after seeing him like this. Not after hearing him say out those words… The sound of if coming out so broken and forlorn just triggered a surge of sympathy from her heart. This beautiful man was so lonely and shattered.

Her feet moved and approached him with measured steps. Before she could reach him, his deep voice echoed inside the quiet and dim bookstore.
