Chapter 538: Farewell is Imminent 2

His breathing was trembling as he held her tight and whispered, "Amanda... I thought you didn't want me again..."

His voice carried a slight sob, as if he had suffered a great deal.

Amanda Smith's eyes widened slightly as she looked up at the emptiness, feeling as if her throat was stuffed with cotton, too choked to speak.

She couldn't find the words to say, her fingers spreading then tightening, holding back again and again, until they finally rested on the man's shoulder.

She could feel the fine tremors shaking his whole body under the palm of her hand, and her heart seemed to catch the trembling, becoming inexplicably sour.

Samuel Johnson looked up, his eyes still red, a sorry sight but his expression was excited. He looked at Amanda Smith and then saw the marks on her neck. He bit his lip gently and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Amanda Smith shook her head.

He had only choked her for a moment the day before, but her skin was so fragile that it always left marks easily.
