After a minute, the hand around Yue's eyes lowered and she finally opened her eyes to see the vast expense of grass in front of her. She noticed with a choke, the two men were gone. They were not here anymore. Her eyes frantically wandered off toward Sia and relief flooded in her chest.
'Ah..she is fine...?'
Amidst her jumbled emotions, she instinctively reached out to grab the hand that closed her eyes a while ago.
"..!"
A far contrast to her searing temperature, the hand was cold, almost freezing but she did not want to let go.
Kyle let out a small sigh. He bent down and hesitantly reached out to slowly place his palm on her back. He wanted to say that the people who tried to harm her were dead, but in the end, he could only utter a few words.
"It's fine now."
Yue's grip on his hand tightened. She raised her head to retract the tears threatening to spill from her eyes before repeating his words in a barely audible voice.
