Chapter 110: Stay with me
Liliana flung one hand up, but once again, missed the extended arm towards her. She tried the other hand and missed again for a few times before she finally grabbed onto the arm before releasing a shaky sigh.
It wasn’t easy, but for the next ten minutes, Nancy grunted and groaned as she pulled her weight up while Liliana helped by slightly shifting and holding onto the arm tightly, sinking her claws deep, using her legs to step on the sides of the mountain to support her weight, debris falling down below.
Once Raiden saw her head emerging as she was helped up, he unknowingly released the breath he’s been holding ever since.
Once Liliana got to the top, she didn’t hesitate as she rushed into Nancy’s arm, hugging her tight with dirt and tears on her gorgeous face, her heart beating against hers.
Nancy managed a smile, trying to still her beating heart, but due to her condition, the situation and incident which just occured was too much for her to handle, so she fainted right in Liliana’s arms without her realizing.
It was when she pulled back, she did know, letting her drop unintentionally, her heart escalating quickly again when Nancy hit the ground.
Before she could react, a pair of arms folded her into a hug and she relaxed when she recognized the familiar cologne Koan always wore. She hugged him by the waist, burying her nose in the crook of his chest.
She could hear his heart pounding in the confinement of his chest even as they leaned back, smiling at each other.
"Let’s go home."
Koan said, the hardened expression in his eyes softening a bit.
"My legs are a bit wobbly. I don’t think I can walk." She said, turning to Raiden while Koan slowly bent to the ground, scooping Nancy into his arms so tenderly, like she was an expensive porcelain vase.
