His voice, a whisper barely a tremor in the air was laden with both relief and disbelief.
Silas wrapped his arms around Yue Ran, holding her close as if she were a precious gem he had desperately searched for and finally discovered after an agonizing journey. He pressed her against his chest with such intensity that she could hardly breathe. It felt as if the very air were squeezed out of her lungs.
"Those things will not happen again. Don't think about things that will not happen. From this moment onward, I promise I will never let you down."
That was the last time.
He had taken advantage of her soft heart and gentle nature. Andre's indecision over Leila and Ellie was also used to find his (Silas's) last chance of survival (for Leila's love). From now on, he will cherish her and protect her for the rest of their lives.
No one can take her away.
No one can take her away from him.
No one would be able to separate them.
Absolutely no one.
Not a single soul.
Not now, not ever.
