Chapter 68: STAY WITH ME (3)
I can hear the heartbeat. It’s the most certain way to know someone is alive.
I held Liam Moore tightly, my ear pressed against his chest, and closed my eyes for a moment. Despite my constant nagging, right now I just wanted to relish the fact that Liam was alive.
He didn’t respond to my words. Maybe he was reflecting on his actions. With a slight glance, I could see only his chin and tightly clenched lips.
“Liam.”
“Yes, did you call me?”
His reply came immediately. As I scolded him for a bit, I realized it wasn’t fair to pressure him to be honest while I, too, had my own secrets.
“I met Plurititas.”
So I revealed one of my biggest secrets (excluding the fact that this is all a game).
His reaction was immediate. He jerked upright but fell back down from the pain in his chest. Coughing violently, he screamed in a strained, cracked voice.
