The Eyes in the Shadow

Nathan did not answer immediately, but there was a gloomy look on his face.

Then after a while, he said, "... I don't know. But there is a high possibility of it being just like what you said."

Hearing that, Natalie fell silent, she bit her lips with a sad expression.

Seeing that, Nathan thought for a while before changing his expression.

He reached out for her head and rubbed it with a gentle smile on his face.

"Don't worry about it. No one will get hurt this time."

Nathan can already think of what Natalie is thinking from the look on her face.

That time when he was shot by a gun, Nathan also saw the same look on Natalie's face.

It looks like that memory has become a trauma for Natalie.

And that fact, pained Nathan's heart.

Especially because he's the reason for it.

Now, what he can do is try to get rid of the thought in her head that he'll get hurt every time there's a bad guy.

Through his comfort, Nathan successfully eased Natalie's worries.
