In the midst of the overwhelming calls, a tall figure suddenly rushed past, causing the old man from the third generation to stagger, and then firmly threw herself into Leon's embrace.
When Emma was first rescued from the City of Regret, she had already thought about what to say upon meeting again, but when that familiar figure appeared, her planned response instantly crumbled, leaving only an instinctive embrace.
"Leon..."
With a force almost as if to merge him into her own body, she gave Leon an incredibly firm hug. Leaning on his shoulder with reddened eyes, Emma said in a trembling voice:
"Thank you... thank you! I... if it weren't for you..."
"It's nothing."
Feeling the intense turmoil in Emma's Heart Lake, Leon couldn't help but extend his hand to gently pat her back, then softly replied:
"Even if..."
"Even if it were me who got into trouble, you would definitely come to save me, too."
