Chapter 1129: Back and Forth, Only She Remained by Her Side in the End

Rufus Swallow withdrew his hand, walked over, and sat by Norris Moore's side, watching her silently sip her drink.

Her expression was calm and composed, yet time had not left her untouched. She had become quieter and quieter, almost to the point of silence when she sat alone.

"Rufus Swallow," she asked softly, her head bowed, "How is he doing now?"

She had finally given in. Rufus Swallow thought. His finger lightly traced the rim of the clear glass in his palm as he spoke, "...He's fine."

His eyes, light and shallow, were tinged with a gentle blue.

Norris Moore smiled silently, said nothing more, but visibly cheered up and raised her glass to clink with his.

The taste of the white beer was mild, and its alcohol content not high. Norris Moore drank two cups as if they were a beverage, her cheeks only faintly reddening.

She looked much healthier indeed.

The gloom and gauntness that Trenton Smith had once brought her had also been smoothed over by time.
