After Alexander calmed Serena, he led her to her room.
"Take a rest, and I'll handle the rest." He said to her. She was about to shake her head, but he pushed her to the bed. "Rest." It wasn't a suggestion, but an order.
She took a deep breath as she laid on the bed. Alexander covered her with the duvet while he focused on her.
Her eyes were red and puffy, evident that she had cried for a long period.
"Just sleep." He placed a kiss on her forehead, and was about to walk out when he felt a slight tug on his hand.
He turned to see Serena staring at him with a pleading look.
"What's wrong?" He asked carefully and quietly.
"You won't leave me, right?" Her voice was filled with vulnerability which couldn't be hidden even if she tried to. "You are the only one I have now. I can't bear to lose you."
Alexander's heart twisted painfully seeing her vulnerable expression. He patted her hands. "Don't worry. I'll always be by your side. I won't leave your side."
