Chapter 69 - 67: You Are Really Happy [Part 1]
As the countdown for the red light began, he unexpectedly felt an impulse not to let her go, because he knew once she crossed the traffic light, she would disappear from his sight in an instant.
After not seeing her for half a month, he didn't want to provoke her, even though she was beside him, not causing trouble as before.
Liam fixated on the girl as she spaced out. The red light had quietly ended, and as Maya saw the pedestrian signal turn green, she began to walk across, completely ignoring her companion beside her.
Liam watched her leaving and only came to realize that the red light had turned green, prompting him to quickly catch up.
Indeed, just as he had thought, Maya's pace was swift, nearly breaking into a run; she wanted to distance herself from him quickly, afraid he would soon trouble her again.
Maya hurriedly walked, too rushed to notice if there were any vehicles intersecting from either side, and just as she was about to reach the other side of the street, a boy on a bike hurriedly charged toward her.
Maya noticed the boy out of the corner of her eye, but it was too late to dodge, leaving her frozen in place, terrified.
She thought she would be injured again and would have to make another trip to the hospital.
Yet, just as the boy was about to crash into her, someone pulled her wrist backward, causing her to fall into a warm, broad chest.
His scent was familiar to her, and it gave her a unique sense of safety at this moment. Her small face was close to his, and she could even hear his heartbeat.
It was then that she became aware that Liam was still beside her!
