บท 120: An Unexpected Answer

After saying his last piece, Blake shut both his eyes and mouth, putting all his focus on his ears as he waited for what kind of words would come out of Vera's mouth.

Blake really didn't have a single clue what Vera would say to him after he said all those words earlier nor did he know whether Vera would now deem him as someone annoying and untrustworthy.

Blake was afraid, he was very afraid of what would happen.

Her reactions and what she would think of him after he said those words were outside his power to control and he could only wait in silence as the seconds went by and yet there were still no answers coming out of Vera's mouth yet.

But Blake certainly didn't expect that the first thing that he felt wasn't Vera's words entering his ears yet a soft and delicate touch on his cheeks.

"You were very worried about me, weren't you?"

Very gently supporting his head to look upward with her small and delicate yet strong hands, Vera made Blake's eyes look straight into hers.
