Free Web NovelChapter 617: Chapter 617: Powerless Before Her Safety
He wanted to know what she had gone through in these six years... why she seemed like a completely different person.
Not just her voice had changed, even her way of speaking and her entire demeanor were different.
If it weren’t for her long-standing habits and the strong feeling of familiarity he sensed, he might have truly failed to recognize her...
After Yancy Shaw finished speaking, Sherry’s expression shifted and she politely addressed him.
"Mr. Shaw, this is my own business, it seems unrelated to you, right?"
Unrelated to him...
Listening to her words, Yancy couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh.
When she said her affairs were none of his business, an inexplicable pain arose in his heart.
The next second, he suddenly fell silent, saying nothing more.
He merely bent down and put the little one in his arms down.
As soon as the little one’s feet touched the ground, he ran over to Sherry.
Seeing the child suddenly running towards her, Sherry’s expression changed, and the coldness she had shown Yancy instantly faded, replaced by a gentle look.
"Nathaniel..." She reached out and held the little one’s hand, her voice full of tenderness.
"Aunt Sherry, is the pretty sister’s illness better?" The little one looked at her seriously, asking worriedly.
Seeing the child’s anxious look, Sherry paused, then unhesitatingly gave him a reassuring smile and nodded.
"Don’t worry, she’ll be fine!" Sherry said firmly.
Though they still hadn’t obtained the antidote from Elder Drexler, she believed Summer Shawcross would soon get better.
After hearing Sherry’s words, the tension on the little one’s face finally eased.
...
Inside the room.
Summer Shawcross, who had just received an injection, was slowly feeling her body’s reactions subside, her body gradually calming down.
Noah Drexler held her tightly, letting her rest against his chest, then lowered his eyes and quietly watched her, accompanying her!
Because of the toxin’s flare-up earlier, her body was very hot, drenched in sweat, and the hair on her forehead was all wet with sweat, sticking to her face.
And leaning against his chest, the eyes she opened had no focus.
Her consciousness hadn’t fully returned, yet even in this barely conscious state, she could still recognize him.
Thinking of this, a pained expression appeared on Noah’s handsome face.
With a flicker in his dark eyes, he suddenly raised his hand to gently brush aside the strands of hair on her forehead, revealing her smooth forehead. Then he bowed his head and tenderly kissed her forehead, his palm moving to her cheek, and with a long thumb, softly wiped away the bloodstain at the corner of her lips.
He had always thought he was more rational, with greater endurance and patience than most people.
But... when he saw her in pain from the toxin, feeling unbearable anguish, he realized that his rationality and patience were nothing in front of her safety.
She always managed to breach all his inner defenses and could easily conquer him.
Thinking of this, he tightened his hold on her a bit more.
He didn’t know how long it had been, but Noah sat quietly holding the woman in the room for a long, long time...
