Chapter 226: She Was Like a Little Angel


Cormac took a step forward and felt a wave of relief wash over him. He tilted his head back, took a deep breath, and leaned forward. "Hey!"

The sudden voice behind him made Cormac jump. He spun around to see Aurora standing there, looking shy. Her eyes dropped to the ground, and she pressed her lips together. The early morning breeze made her seem even smaller and more fragile.

"What are you doing here?" Cormac was shocked to see Aurora. Had she been following him?

He hadn't noticed her at all, and he'd been on the rooftop for quite a while. Had she been there the whole time?

"I followed you. I wanted to return your stuff." Aurora held out the watch and phone he had given her.

Seeing Cormac in such a bad mood, she hadn't dared to approach him earlier.

Seeing Aurora clutching the watch and phone, Cormac felt a pang of emotion. Kids really did have the purest hearts.

"I told you, those are gifts," Cormac said.

"They're yours; I can't keep them." Aurora insisted, taking a step toward him. Since Cormac was standing at the edge, he instinctively moved back a bit.

"Come over here. It's dangerous." Aurora carefully approached and grabbed Cormac's clothes, pulling him away from the edge.

When she pulled him back, it felt like a little angel had saved him from the brink.
