Chapter 727

Steven was never one to be overly sentimental, but he cried for the longest time that night, clearly feeling aggrieved. I could only hold him close while comforting him.

Perhaps it was due to losing a leg that he had become extremely sensitive -he couldn't even sleep soundly.

Linda had mentioned that Steven could only manage to sleep with the help of some medications while he was still in the asylum's underground sterile ward
