She was traumatized for some reason, especially when she saw Vincent's crimson eyes when he threw his spear at her, and although it was to save her life, it still affected her in a weird way she didn't know why. Furthermore, she was even more terrified to see that she nearly died. That's not all, as the cold winter rain that drenched her clothes was making her feel cold, but Vincent's bodily warmth came at the perfect time.
Vincent wiped the tears on her cheeks and comforted her with pleasant words and lovely pats.
"Wow! You look cute even when you're crying."
Leilani giggled and rolled her eyes at him, pushing her head full of snowy hair deeper into his chest.
After a few moments, once she calmed down due to the warmness of his embrace and his pleasant words, she said, "You scared me more than the monster that ambushed me."
Okay, this chapter contains hints of something far deeper down the line. Hopefully, some of you have caught it. I don't want to say anything as it will act as a spoiler.
I want it to build up over dozens of chapters so it will be extremely satisfying when the reason comes to light.
Thanks or reading!
