As soon as Cheryl Suweton saw Sean Knight approaching, she ran over and hugged him, even though she had previously remained calm and silent.
Sean looked surprised—I didn't save you! It was my brothers, my assistants!
Douglas Cooper held a rope in his hand, presumably the one he had used to bind Cheryl.
A frustrated expression painted his face.
He had finally seized a chance to play the hero, but his efforts weren't recognized at all!
He had talked so much to comfort her, fearing that she might have been psychologically traumatized. All that for nothing!
"It's alright now, it's really okay." Sean could only pat Cheryl's back to comfort her.
Cheryl's body was trembling uncontrollably. It was clear that she was utterly frightened.
Eventually, Sean managed to calm Cheryl down, gently pried her off him, and guided her to sit down. Elijah Hastings, who had collected the weapons of the five deceased "robbers", came over to report.
