I was caught off guard by her suddenly hugging me like this.
But in the end, I reached my hands to her back and patted her to comfort her.
I could feel a wet sensation that was coming from my chest.
Even if she looked like she was a strong woman with the way that she acted, this was still a traumatic experience no matter who it was.
There was no doubt that she should have been scared during this.
I just silently comforted her and waited for her to calm down.
After a long time, Haley finally stopped trembling and she took a deep breath before separating from me.
She lowered her head to hide her face from me, but I could see that there were traces of swollenness that were on her face, around her eyes. It was clear that her eyes were swollen from how much she had been crying.
But since she did all this to hide it from me, I wasn't brutish enough that I would force her to show me.
I just took off my coat and put it over her.
