บท 382: A LESSON TO LEARN

Later that night, after Iris and Cane had their dinner, they talked for a bit before the exhaustion hit Iris. It was a long day for her, a tired one at that, since she went through a lot of turmoil and everything that happened in the span of the last two days had drained her emotionally. All she needed right now was a good sleep.

Cane was there to hold her when she drifted into her slumber, patting her back in soothing motion, as he occasionally kissed her head.

He didn't think he had completely gotten her back, as she was in so much pain and it would take her more time to heal, but sometimes, there was a wound that couldn't be healed no matter how long you endured it. You would have to live with it and it was fine… as the pain would remind you how you had survived to this point.

He wished nothing for her, but to be strong, in her mind, in her heart, because she would need that strength to go through what would come later.
