Chapter 387 Will you forgive me?

Lilith carefully helped him lie down, her hands steady but tender, as if he were made of something fragile. She slipped into bed beside him, wrapping her arms around his trembling frame, her chin resting softly on his chest.

The room was dim. The only sound was his heartbeat, pounding fast under her ear.

Lilith immediately raised one hand, gesturing for silence, her brows twitching.

Miss Sparkleton, with her sparkly pink lights and overly dramatic tone, froze mid-spin, blinked, then twirled around and bowed like a polite ballerina robot. "My deepest apologies for the disturbance," she whispered and backed out like a queen's servant, leaving the two alone once again.

Ray giggled softly under his breath, and Lilith felt it echo in his chest.

"Miss Mystery?" he whispered.
