Chương 150: Fighting Alone

"... Jah!"

"Elijah!"

Elijah felt someone shaking his body, so he immediately opened his eyes in response to the movement. Elijah did not have any expression when he first opened his eyes. But when he saw that it was Sofia who had just woken him up, his expression changed drastically in a split second.

"Eli-"

Sofia had not yet finished her sentence when Elijah suddenly hugged her tightly. Elijah hugged her as if he was afraid Sofia would disappear again. The hug was so tight that Sofia felt she was having trouble breathing in Elijah's arms.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Just like Sofia, whom Elijah had always known, the girl in his arms did not protest and instead asked Elijah in a soft voice. Elijah tightened his embrace a little after that. Sofia's soft voice when asking him was the thing Elijah wanted to hear the most right now.

"...Yes. I had a very bad dream, Sofia."
