Chapter 605. Pulsing Rope

The first thing Bassena did after emerging from the white snake was listen to Zein's heartbeat.

It's there; he thought with relief. That relief persisted until he moved Zein to the Sanctuary and Han Shin told him the guide was in good condition. Then came the dread.

Staring at the unconscious Zein, Bassena could feel something different when he touched the guide's pulse. The feeling of sensing his own pulse while listening to another's was newly exhilarating and...scary. 

It should be a beautiful moment and a blissful sensation, but all he could feel was a hot lump in his chest.

Because the way it was made...wasn't beautiful. 

At that moment, when Bassena looked at the widened blue eyes from the door, that intertwining relief and dread churned inside him again. 

"I'm...sorry..." with cold nape, Bassena cowardly lowered his head.
