"Alright, I'll tell you the truth, so stop crying." Pierre stood to sit down beside Selena, subsequently allowing her to lean against his shoulder. "I am indeed deaf in one ear. The explosion in the final battle damaged my ear, which is also the reason I retired." Pierre sounded nonchalant as he relayed everything.

However, Selena could sense that he was being deliberate in how he presented himself. He was hiding his sorrows from her. No wonder he retired. No wonder he moved away from the career that he had worked to build all his life. He was actually forced to step down because he's deaf in one ear.

"You know our line of work requires us to be in peak physical condition. Due to my deaf ear, I can no longer operate on the front lines. Coupled with the fact that I already completed the mission that the organization tasked me with, I no longer had a reason to stay, so I retired." Pierre heaved a sigh. "It's for the best. With this, I will be able to be here for you."

Throughout his confession, Selena's heart spasmed with sorrow. For a man as prideful as him, he had been shouldering all the burden alone ever since falling from grace and ended up as a disabled person with a deaf ear.

All of a sudden, she wiped her tears away. “Remove your clothes. Let me take a look.”

"Why are you telling me to do that without reason?" Pierre cracked a joke while pinching her nose. "Have you forgotten the doctor's orders? We shouldn't get too intimate. Are you telling me that you can't hold yourself back when even I can do that?"
