Dev kept comforting Aman and whispered sweet nothings in his ear. Finally, he managed to calm Aman down.
He rocked Aman in his arms. Internally, he was shaken also. It was an undeniable fact that he was also scared.
Not for him but for his Apple.
If what the elder physician had said was true, then he feared something bad would happen with Aman!
He still felt a chill running down his spine as he remembered his Apple sitting there.
There were bruises and handprints all over his body. Bloody scratches like his body were rubbed on a hard surface. Blood trailed out of his head as if his head was smashed on the ground. And his eyes... those pair of eyes looked hollow like the soul had left the body and only an empty vassal was left.
Dev tightened his hold around Aman and kissed the top of his head. "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. I will protect you, my Apple."
