章節 380: Kyle & Lilith (Part 2)

Lilith's gaze widened in astonishment, locking onto Kyle, who returned her look with a soft smile, his grey eyes sparkling.

"When... when did you..." she faltered, still caught off guard by his unexpected consciousness.

He extended his hand, gently caressing her face, his smile slowly dissipating. "Why do you look so sad? Is it because you think you couldn't do anything for me?"

Words failed her as she opened her mouth, speechless. Sad? Was that the emotion her face was betraying at this moment?

"Would your sadness dissipate if I asked something of you?" he continued, his thumb tenderly brushing her cheek.

Lilith found herself immobilized, bewildered about how to react or respond.

Nonetheless, she nodded, not wishing to imply there was another reason for her demeanor, which he interpreted as sadness.

"Then, would you sleep next to me?" he proposed, surprising her further.
