Aerine vented out the emotions in her heart for a while, and Lucian also didn't stop her from doing so either. The silence only shrouded them.
After a few minutes, while her eyes were still soaked with tears, her emotions were finally calming down.
She glanced at Lucian and suddenly felt ashamed for a second, but this didn't last long when she saw that Lucian seemed unconcerned with this matter.
He still looked patient, and at some point, the spaces between them became even closer; it would only take one action before their bodies touched each other.
"I..." Aerine exhaled and then smiled amidst the tears that glistened in her eyes. "I'm happy."
There were a lot of emotions in her heart, but at that moment, after the possibility of her mother's survival, happiness and relief overshadowed any emotions she had.
Regardless of who was the one who saved her mother, Aerine could only hope that it was true and that she was safe.
