So, despite the difficulty in speaking, she mustered the courage to confess just before he was about to leave.
"... Is it mine?"
Third Young Master Jun took a long time to respond, his inner emotions raging heavily. After the shock faded, he slowly calmed down, released her shoulders, and looked at her with an extremely complex expression.
