Luo bent down in front of the woman curled in the corner. Raising his head to caress her head, but retrieved at her flinch. He sat down, eyes fixed at the woman looking warily at him, scratching her skin repetitively.
[Wish I had not turned away from you. Wish I had listened to my heart once. Wish I had dropped the thought of finding Lucy years back. Wish I had.....]
He sighed. Her eyes shone when he takes out a candy from her pocket. She snatched it. A grin replacing the frown on her face. "Be good. I think I have found Lucy. Once I bring him safely to Ma Roma, I'll be free from this guilt. I'll be free forever. Free to live my life with you. Somewhere far from this cursed place. I promise to give you a good life. Just a little more. Will you?"
The next chapters are the one you have been waiting for....
But I won't release until I have the entire scene written. I'm sure even you won't like cliffhangers in the arc's climax.
Love
