Chapter 865: BARGAINING WITH ABBY
"His spirit is fine, because I took the brunt of it, but his body is very weak. He can move because of my will power only," Lu sulked. He avoided Iris eyes and scoffed.
Iris knew it would hurt Lu’s feeling when she asked about Cane, but he needed to know that he was not the one her heart desire.

"He needs more time to rest." In the end, Lu only said that.
"Okay." Iris sighed. She felt relief because it meant, Cane was still there. He would return to her at some point. It was fine for him to rest, Iris could wait for him...
