Soon in came one of his men.
"Take the ship back to Flento City." He said.
The man immediately nodded respectfully, "Yes!"
And then he walked straight out the door.
The door closed again and Lois' gaze shifted once more to Madeline's face.
He lit another cigarette and took a big puff, his eyes gradually turning red.
To avoid tears, he let out a long breath and struggled to turn his face to the side.
This scene brought mixed feelings to Madeline's heart as she watched.
It had been a long time before he turned back and looked at her face again, his eyes still red underneath, "Madeline, could you light a cigarette for me?"
Madeline knew that he would ask for this, it must be because that Iris often lit his cigarettes for him.
The matter of lighting a cigarette is supposed to have some special significance between them.
Madeline nodded and touched the lighter on the bedside table.
