Chris hugged Merry's small body tightly, and rested his head on her shoulder.
The young woman was worried about his injury. Her body could not keep up with Chris' height, so she stood on tiptoe and helped him lean his head more comfortably on her shoulder.
"Brother Chris? Brother Chris, are you okay?" Merry asked worriedly.
The man's forehead rested on her thin shoulder. He let out a trembling sigh, then raised his hand to touch his heart.
Chris then said weakly, "I'm okay… cough… cough… I… cough… fine, don't worry."
Lilia, Mellisa, and Clifford all looked coldly at Chris. Too bad he's not an actor! His acting was really convincing! How could Merry's childish mind understand the twists and turns in Chris' heart.
