Chapter 216: Prove That Stamina
"What are you doing?" Lyra shrilled as soon as she entered Torin’s room. She was about to ask Torin what he would like to have for dinner, but was soon greeted by a sight she was not at all pleased to see.
"I will go with Keira and the team to rescue Bro," answered Torin plainly.
Torin was putting his military gear inside his army duffel bag and she immediately knew why. An intel from the military source had confirmed that her brother was still alive and was held captive inside Leon’s new ship.
She was overjoyed with the news, but as she had guessed, Torin would want to participate in the search and rescue operation as well.
Lyra bit her lower lip as she walked to him and abruptly put Torin’s stuff back inside his closet.
"Are you crazy? You are still recuperating and therefore are not fit enough to join them! Why are you being so stubborn!? What help could you possibly offer them when you are still a patient yourself?" Lyra ranted, trying hard not to let the already welled up tears out of her eyes.
Torin sighed and pulled Lyra to sit on the edge of his bed beside him. He embraced Lyra and whispered, "I feel helpless doing nothing while Keira and the team are working hard to get Bro back, Lyra... He is still in great danger, so I need to go with them to save him."
"What is wrong with you? Do you think big Bro will be happy if he sees you there? What you did to save him is already more than enough! You have lost an organ, Torin! Who knows if you would still be able to do a lot of things after that! Who knows if you would still be able to perform well?" Lyra cried out as the tears that she had been trying to hold back started to flow out of her eyes.
The sight of Lyra crying really broke Torin’s heart. The last thing that he wanted was to make her cry like this once more. As much as possible, he wanted Lyra to smile and laugh whenever she was with him.
