Zoe's muscles went rigid as she felt her cheeks against Raigon's thumping chest.
But she was too brokenhearted to refuse. She stayed there and allowed Raigon to caress her hair.
"I-I don't know what to do anymore…"
Raigon pulled her closer towards him and enveloped his arms tighter.
"Shhh.. I know you tried."
He whispered to her ears which melted her composure. A gasp from a painful aching heart escaped from her lips.
"Cry all you want. I'm just right here."
Zoe bit her lips as she sobbed in her chest. A gush of tears flowed from her eyes blurring her vision of the dead bodies that were being piled up just a while ago.
Her arms flew around his back as she dug her head deeper in his coat.
Raigon drew in a deep breath.
He also agonized over the unfortunate catastrophe of Xianghai Province. And he was anxious that this could probably be happening to other lands as well.
