"Because this is what you want, I will not say anything. But I just want to say… Are you okay?"
Adelina's busy hands froze.
Trying to hide her bewilderment, Adelina was about to nod when Doen continued.
"There is no need to do this for Nisha and my sake."
Adelina's calm eyes began to shake. Her hand stretched out to continue her needlework, but they quickly slumped back down to her lap.
The reason why she could not stretch out her hand to Ethan. It wasn't because of Nisha or Doen.
"Due to that man's sense of guilt and foolishness, he doesn't take care of himself. Even though I try to avoid him, I can't help but see how much he's hurting himself. But…"
When Adelina hesitated to continue, Doen approached her. Her gaze encouraged her to continue. Seeing this, Adelina's head slumped helplessly to her chest.
