"Are you still not planning to use the Source Blood? Bella and Bernice are very concerned about your situation. Even though they're dead, they still hope that you can gain your freedom."
The question brought Lady Adel to a halt.
She remained silent for several seconds before biting her lip and saying with a subtle tone,
"And what about you? Do you wish for me to leave you forever? Do you feel my loyalty is not yet enough? I can improve, I can learn from Maxim.
I..."
"No, that's not what I mean."
Murphy waved his hand to stop Adel from continuing and said in a low voice,
"Don't overthink it, go on with your tasks."
"Alright, Master."
Adel breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the door open, and walked out.
After she left, Murphy slammed the pen in his hand onto the desk and then covered his eyes with his hand, his handsome face painted with an expression of intense pain and helplessness.
