However, Dodo was still crying incessantly.
John Coleman, at his wits' end, suddenly stretched out his arms and pulled her into his embrace.
Dodo was about to struggle and push him away.
But unexpectedly, John Coleman had already started gently patting her shoulder.
Dodo was taken aback.
An inexplicable sense of security began to rise in her heart, his embrace, along with the strength of his patting, gave her restless heart an unprecedented sense of security.
Dodo, dazed, actually forgot to cry.
What an unbelievable thing.
Last night, it was he who had caused her harm.
Yet now, he had so easily mended that wound.
For a moment, Dodo found herself greedily longing for the embrace John Coleman offered her at this moment.
Seeing that she had stopped crying,
John Coleman finally smiled with relief.
"It's okay, it's okay," he cooed like one might soothe a child, "Miss Dodo is the best, not crying anymore, we're not crying, you're good, not crying anymore..."
