Chapter 157 | 02. The lady & the gentleman
Raymond went on to blurt out many different things that didnt make sense, so filled with emotions. With tears trickling down as though time had stopped, so tired that he couldnt even stand anymore, Raymond raised his head to look at Carynnes face. Still, he was hugging her tightly with one arm.
Using his other hand, he reached up and caressed her cheek. And with a hoarse voice, he spoke.
Carynne, first, we need to move. We cant stay here for long.
Yes, okay.

Even for someone like her, who was much accustomed to death, pain was still something she couldnt get used to.
Carynne. Carynne?
Yes.
