Elena kept moving, though she tried to turn Ed's face away from her. Sadly, it didn't work. Helplessly, she could only let him play with her hair and listen as he narrated his tale.
While processing the information, she also assessed Ed's current state by his tone. His voice was drowsy, his words slurred as if spoken in his sleep.
But after a while, she was shocked by what Ed said and couldn't help but blurt out, "Can it really be like this?"
She couldn't understand what had happened to him. Just as she finished speaking, she spotted a figure in the distance and quickly shouted while waving, "Dad!"
Andre was running toward them, accompanied by a beautiful woman.
Elena stopped immediately. She gently squatted down and picked up Ed from behind. He had fallen asleep but refused to let go, still clinging to her tightly. In the end, however, her raw strength won out. She forcibly pulled him free and slowly laid him on the ground with a helpless sigh.
