In This World, Jeanne Is "Dead"

She kept holding Edward's hand.

All of the subordinates had already left Edward's room, leaving only the two of them in the room. It was as if they were the only two people left in the world.

Jeanne did not know what would happen in the future, whether the Duncans would really let her off… 

As the night deepened, Jeanne fell asleep beside Edward's bed. 

When she felt some movement beside her, she opened her eyes and saw Finn in the room. His eyes seemed to be bloodshot from all the exhaustion. 

"Did I wake you up?" Finn's voice was unusually clear.

Jeanne shook her head, got up from Edward's bed, and looked out the window. The sky was already bright.

At that moment, Finn was examining Edward's body seriously.

Jeanne waited quietly by the side. 

After a long while, Finn said, "He's just asleep. It's no big deal."

"Yes." Jeanne nodded silently and then asked, "How's Nox?"

Finn's throat moved slightly.
