Tears streamed endlessly from Yi Ling's eyes. It pained her deeply that King Jin didn't remember her name.
She knew her current appearance differed from when King Jin had last seen her, but he should at least recall her name.
Seeing Yi Ling cry melted King Jin's heart. He cast aside his reservations and hurried towards her, pulling her into his arms and gently patting her back.
"Please don't cry. I may not remember who you are, but it pains me to see you like this. I don't know why, but I feel like you're important to me," King Jin said, dropping his title. He had never done this for any woman except his little sister and his ex-lover.
Yi Ling seemed to hold a special place in his heart. He could only hope to unravel it all later.
Yi Ling was stunned. The pain in her heart burst forth as King Jin held her. She sobbed uncontrollably into his chest.
