Chapter 571-The Healing Well
Helanie:
The way Emmet gently tapped on my shoulder to get my attention and then boldly asked me to follow him made my heart flutter. I was so annoyed by the fact that I felt drawn towards all of them. And at the moment, I was actually not doing okay. After Norman did all that, I was in a different zone. Even the thought of standing in front of Norman again made me blush and bite the inside of my cheek. I hoped he understood how his one move had excited me so much.
But now I followed Emmet outside, worried about what had happened.
"Firstly, congratulations," he stated, fixing his coat and looking around with his eyebrows scrunched.
"Emmet, what is that?" I pointed at the blood on his shirt instead of responding to his congratulations. I couldn’t stop myself from being worried about him when I saw the stains.
"Oh, these—," he looked down and touched them with his fingertips, "killed some Zharns on the way here."
He replied coldly before he shrugged and looked up again. "I needed to ask you for something."
He started again, sounding much more present in the moment than he usually did these days. I was happy to see him shine and look okay.
"Sure, you can ask me anything," I was instantly ready to respond to any of his questions.
