Was that a confession?
Yes, that was a confession.
Perhaps Davel knew nothing about many things in this world, and he was also confused by the feelings in his heart when it came to Lycia Henderson. However, he suddenly couldn't hold it in anymore, and that was why his lips managed to produce a confession when he could no longer hold back his feelings.
Like? Love? He had never felt such a feeling before, but it suddenly sounded so smooth when his lips managed to spit out the word "like" directed at the young doctor standing in front of him.
Only his instincts told him to say that he liked Lycia, and after he said those words, he somehow felt that the weight in his heart had eased a little. Before he confessed, he felt his heart being trapped by a cage restricting his freedom, but after he confessed, the cage suddenly opened before his heart could beat freely when he was near Lycia.
