Chapter 229: Battle Royale (6)
“Um…”
Thinking of the mother and son’s fate in the film, Everly hesitated for a moment. As the mother passed by her, she called out softly.
The mother’s eyes shifted and briefly met Everly’s gaze in the air.
What kind of eyes were those?
Like hard glass beads—dead silent, hollow, devoid of light, without any trace of living presence.
Yes. From the moment her child died before her eyes, this mother had already become a shell of despair.
Everly’s throat felt dry, and she suddenly found herself unable to say anything else.
She couldn’t save her.
Keeping someone alive was difficult, but dying was far too easy. She wasn’t a psychologist, nor could she, with a few words, rekindle that woman’s will to live. And given her current mission, she also didn’t have time to expend energy on her.
