CHAPTER 223
Andromeda blinked back a tear as she gazed up to stare into his dark eyes. "Why?"
"Why?" Liu Xueyi drew his brows together, trying to understand why she would ask such a question.
"Why?" Andromeda inquired once more. "Holding it in must have been too difficult for you if you were not drugged then perhaps not a big problem. However, you were. Getting turned off wouldn't just be."
"Well… I felt guilty. I still do, Andy." He inhaled deeply as he trailed his gaze from her face, going down to where her feet lay on the edge of the sofa.
"No. It wasn't your fault. Even till the end, you were still concerned about me."
She blinked severally again and this time, she reached up, placing both hands at either side of his face as she gently caressed his cheeks.
"I couldn't do anything. Not to a defenceless innocent lady who fell prey to me." He brought his gaze back to her as his smile seeped into his eyes.
