Rex took a step forward to close the distance and touched her shoulder. “The life of the young boy you saved seven years ago.”

He watched her try to remember with great difficulty.

Rex nodded.

“That was you?!”

“My life is worth more than all the wealth in the Country, so what I’ve given you is never equivalent to saving my life.” Rex patted her shoulder.

Toria couldn’t control herself anymore and hugged him.

“R–Rex, I don’t want the money, I don’t want the luxury, but…” Toria couldn’t continue. She knew she would be rejected but if she didn’t say it, her heart might explode, still, her mouth couldn’t let the
