Chapter 325 - 329: Domination by the Overlord (7)
It made his heart’s beating slow and grind to a halt, as if it were clogged by something, suffocating and uncomfortable.
"Don’t cry... don’t cry," he stammered, having never encountered this situation, nor ever comforted a girl before. He also did not know that the sight of her, bullied to the point of silent tears, clutching the bedsheets, would cause him such heartache.
Jian Anning didn’t seem to hear his words, as her tears still fell like pearls off a string, silently sliding down her face. Over the years, she had suppressed her feelings for far too long.

Jian Anning shuddered suddenly, as if she had been shocked, her body shivering in fright!
