章節 254: I promise

"I'm going to deal with Elijah and end this stupid game of his once and for all." Sebastian replied firmly, his face turning serious. Elle could hear how resolute he was from his voice. 

Seeing that dangerous power and renewed determination in his eyes, Elle sighed out in relief. He looked as composed as usual again. Anyone who could have seen him right now other than her, might never believe that this man had been trembling, vulnerable, and even shedding tears, just several minutes earlier. 

"I wish there was something that I could do to help you out." Elle voiced out her genuine wish, knowing that as powerless as she was, the least she could do was not to get herself captured by the enemy and be used as bait to hurt Sebastian again. 

He was about to respond when his gaze snapped up and focused towards the door.
