Chapter 188: Well, Since I’m Here
I must have fallen asleep sometime after Chang Xuefeng picked me up and started carrying me because then next thing I knew, he was trying to wake me up.
"Wish girl?" he murmured softly as he rubbed my cheek. "You awake?"
I hummed as I let out a big yawn that almost cracked my jaw. "Where are we?"
"Some type of government building, it looks like," replied Tank as he slowly rubbed my back. With my head still on Chang Xuefeng’s shoulder, I looked over at the other man. "But we have been walking all night. Dawn is coming, and Dante thought that you might want to take a break, maybe get some breakfast."
Turning my head to the other side, I saw Pride shining through Dante’s eyes as he looked at me with concern. Noticing that I was finally looking at him, he held out a hand to me like he wanted me to take it.
The only problem was that the jury was still out on the fate of the Sins, and I wasn’t about to give them any more of myself, knowing what they did to me in the past. I was not big on second chances...
"Okay," I agreed. There was no harm in stopping for a while. Hopefully, by the time we get to the Dragon’s Lair, Bishop, and the others will have decided that life there was too hard without electricity and running water.
If they could just hurry up and evict themselves, that would save me so much trouble.
Beau stepped forward, leading the way, followed closely behind by Tank. Then Chang Xuefeng and I were in the middle, protected on either side by a Sin since Pride was bringing up the rear.
