135 Chapter 135: Sense of Security

Stuart had Edie safely in his arms, and she could feel his body temperature through his shirt, She could no longer hold back her tears. Tears burned her eyes, and her lower lip trembled. Her body collapsed at once when she felt Stuart's strength.

She was supposed to be grateful for what he just did for her, but when she opened her mouth, gratefulness turned into disappointment, "Why, why did you come so late? I was so scared…no one would help me…" Stuart tightened his embrace, and his heart ached with pity for her, "Sorry, I am so sorry, it's all my fault."

Mr. Bates let out a heavy sigh, and he had known Stuart since he was a child and had never seen him apologize to anyone. Not only did he apologize to his wife, but he also blamed himself. He was always gentle and caring when it came to Edie.
