Chapter 35

Lily looked at Harold while he was asleep, and her heart melted. The nightmares that she had the previous night had all come to an end because of this gentle monster that she was looking at.

He actually did come to save her. Lily could not believe it.

Well, not like she could not believe it, but everything felt surreal for her. Harold was her knight in shining armor. All the hardship that Lily had faced in her family while growing up, had messed her psychology up. She felt that, hardship and a turbulent life would forever be her reality. Until Harold showed up to show her another world and texture of life.

His scarred face stared back at her while she admired him.

Lily wondered how Harold felt when he woke up from the accident he had, and found out that his face was burnt and scarred for life.

''Life can be so cruel,'' she muttered as inaudibly as possible, so that Harold would not hear her and wake up asking questions.
