Feeling inexplicably flustered, Eliana subconsciously raised her hand to cover Maurice’s eyes.

“Stop looking…”

At that moment, Maurice was hopelessly immersed in the agonizing memories of his past. But Eliana’s voice was like a lifeline, pulling him back to reality and saving him from drowning in his pain.

Was she worried about him?

Maurice pulled her hand away from his eyes and pretended to be calm. “I’m not scared.”

Eliana pursed her lips. How stubborn was this man? Did he think that she was blind? He had no idea how bad he looked just now!

However, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.

Instead of exposing his lie, she said, “You’re not scared, but I am.”

As she spoke, she moved closer to him, and threw her arms around Maurice.

At such a close distance, she could clearly see the truth: Maurice’s face was ghastly pale.

He was just pretending to be tough.

Overwhelmed by the need to comfort him, Eliana hugged him tightly and continued, “I’m a little scared. Maurice, can you just let me hug you for a while?”
