When she left the research room, she was on cloud nine. Her steps were light, and all her fatigue was swept away.

Avery had come again, and he was sipping coffee in the living room.

Logically speaking, Avery was supposed to be happy knowing that she cared about him.

However, at that moment, he just couldn’t bring himself to feel happy.
