Unexpected Kindness and the Puppy Hunt

Rocco was taken aback.

Was Sylas saying he'd noticed his nervousness and was trying to help?

Had that been the reason behind the sudden gift of a dandelion?

The gesture had seemed so uncharacteristic of Sylas that Rocco had suspected some sort of trap.

Reflecting on this, he felt a twinge of guilt for doubting his brother's intentions.

"U-uh… Thank you, Brother," Rocco stammered.

The unexpected kindness from a brother who supposedly hated him was both surprising and a little overwhelming.

His cheeks flushed a rosy red as he expressed his gratitude.

Unable to shake his embarrassment, Rocco lowered his gaze and buried his face slightly into the dandelion.

At that moment, Sylas suddenly let out a strained groan and clutching his chest as he dropped to one knee.

"Guh…!" Sylas winced.

Rocco blinked in confusion.

What was happening?

Why was Sylas acting like this?

Was he in pain?
