"If Dalmasca had taken you," Dominic said in a low, serious voice, staring at him with heated eyes, "I would have used any means necessary to take you back."
They had spent the whole day together in the room.
Even now, Shiao Yi sat on a long chair with Dominic, nestled on his lap.
To anyone looking in from the outside, they would appear like a foolishly attached couple.
Yet, for Dominic, this closeness was necessary and important.
Even now, the corner of Dominic's eyes flickered with unease.
"I'm not going anywhere. I'm here," Shiao Yi whispered each time, holding him tightly against his chest.
And slowly, the heartbeat that had raced and pounded out of control would calm to a steady rhythm again.
It would still take time before Dominic could maintain composure on his own without this.
His mind had been shattered so badly.
If Shiao Yi had rushed to him sooner, Dominic's heart would not have fallen to this extent.
