Chapter 138

Just hearing Hannah's voice was enough to make me feel better. The movement of his hand gently patting my back while hugging me created a calming sensation that freed me from my bad memories.

"Hannah?"

"Hm?"

"Sorry. Even though you've worked hard to do everything for me, I ended up showing my weak side in front of you..."

"It's okay, Richard... We can start it again. Don't worry about that."

"I'm really pathetic, don't you think?"

"Why do you think like that? You are very great, maybe even more than you ever imagined."

"You're too much, Hannah. There's no need to be sweet-mouthed to make me feel better."

At that time I no longer felt the movement of his hands which seemed to stop after I expressed my thoughts to him. And next, he pushed my body away from him, then grabbed my shoulders and shook my body hard.

"Please tell me that everything you said just now is not true!"
