Chapter 619: The Prince of Ice (2)
Third Person’s POVOnly after several moments did her mind gradually begin catching up with reality.
She suddenly realized that she wasn’t falling anymore.
Instead, a powerful arm was wrapped securely around her slender waist, and her soft body was pressed lightly against Ethan’s lean yet surprisingly muscular frame.
His body stood as steady as a mountain despite the violent shaking around them.
The warmth of another person’s presence amidst the chaos made Arlene’s breathing unconsciously slow.
Her cloudy blue eyes instinctively rose until they met Ethan’s crimson gaze.
Unlike everyone else present, his expression hadn’t changed in the slightest.
There wasn’t even the faintest trace of panic upon his face.
For several long seconds, Arlene simply stared into those strangely tranquil crimson eyes, and the fear that had gripped her moments earlier slowly faded away.
Standing within his embrace, she felt an unexpected sense of safety.
The frightening feeling of helplessness that had overwhelmed her only moments ago gradually disappeared without her even realizing it.
