Bk 3: Ch– 119 Awake(pt-2)

“I am sorry if I gave you trouble, brother.” Nicholas released her and stared at her eyes, leaning down to match his eyes in the same line of sight as her while his left hand held the top of her head.

“You are never a burden; you can only trouble me by putting yourself in danger. Why have you never mentioned your problem?”
