Basil Jaak untied Yetta Astir's ropes, and she, both excited and scared, burst into tears, suddenly hugging Basil and sobbing in his arms.
She was a strong woman, who could choose to hide her fear and gather her courage in the face of Boyd's threats and kidnapping. But in front of Basil, she felt like a child needing protection. Once rescued, the despair in her heart revived, leaving her unable to contain her emotions.
"Come on, it's all right now, you're still crying."
Having never seen this tough girl cry, Yetta Astir suddenly threw herself into Basil's arms, leaving him somewhat at a loss.
"I'm just emotional!" said Yetta, still in Basil's embrace, inhaling his strong masculine scent, with no intention of letting go.
Yetta's chest pressed tightly against Basil's, causing him to have a few wandering thoughts. In a soft voice, he teased her by saying, "For such a dignified police leader to be crying, if word gets out, how would you fare in the police force in the future..."
