As William Griffith's friend, Julian Brown naturally understood William's current mood. William valued loyalty and had once had an intersection with Chloe Turner. He would never leave her alone, but at this stage in their relationship, it was important to find out what his feelings were for Chloe.
"Are you alright?" Julian walked over and put his hand on William's shoulder, asking with concern.
William moved his shoulder, signaling Julian not to worry about him too much. Over the years, he had seen many unbearable things as the helmsman of the group. He needed to be decisive to survive, and his psychological quality was not that bad.
When he saw Chloe lying there, pale-faced and motionless but with signs of life, he felt as if he were dreaming. The words of Bob Turner before his death kept echoing in his ears.
"William... please take good care of Chloe, I beg you..."
