บท 312: I just want to hug you

When his sister uttered those words, which could easily be misunderstood, Sam felt as if the shackles of guilt were clamped around his neck.

He had always known that the world was not normal, so obviously, in this abnormal world, who wouldn't go mad?

But Ava was his sister!

Even though they weren't related by blood, too many things made Sam feel a mix of madness and guilt at this moment.

In the dimly lit living room, he watched as a shy blush spread across her beautiful face.

Looking into her eyes, he saw a clear mix of shyness and anticipation, creating a different kind of gleam that struck Sam's heart profoundly.

Sam even wanted to grab her arms and shake her vigorously, yelling at her, "Snap out of it! I'm your brother!"

But that seemed too exaggerated, unnecessary.

At that moment, Ava was looking into Sam's eyes.

"Isn't this normal? You're supposed to take care of me."
