629 Can I hug you again?

Jesslyn Derei's eyes brimmed with tears, her lips trembling, "Brother Ethan..."

Ethan Jenkins took a step toward her.

Jesslyn Derei's eyes widened, staring at him in a daze, fearful that the illusion before her would vanish if she so much as blinked.

He was getting closer and closer to her.

Jesslyn Derei saw a faint halo enveloping him, those eyes that were once always dull and without light, now like the sky washed clean by rain, bright and pure, just as gentle and beautiful as they were many years ago.

She saw his handsome lips move.

At that moment, she couldn't hear what he was saying. She felt as if she were in a fantastical world.

"Derei?"

Ethan Jenkins slightly furrowed his brows, gently placing his hand on Jesslyn Derei's shoulders.

That touch made Jesslyn Derei tremble as if she had been struck by electricity.

In her widened eyes, tears "whooshed" out.

"Brother Ethan!"

Jesslyn Derei threw herself forcefully into his embrace, hugging him tightly.
