They stepped out into the corridor.
The scene was as follows:
Tercy stood in the front, silent and stiff, her head slightly bowed, with a slight shiver in her shoulders.
She was like a wounded little bird.
Behind her stood Alexander Stuart, tall and solid, also silent.
He didn't know what to say.
This was the first time he'd seen Tercy so depressed and abnormal since knowing her, no longer the energetic and strong girl, but now seemingly fragile.
Such a drastic change occurred in just a few moments and all because of the man who just left.
Alexander felt like there was a heavy stone pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe or use any strength.
He really wanted to help the woman in front of him, to escape from the sorrowful atmosphere, but he was truly powerless...
So, he could only stand guard in silence.
It was then that Ella Lacey showed up.
