They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 352: That Feeling, That Look

His fingers unconsciously tightened around Nnenna’s wrist.

These words made Nnenna pause.

Until now, she had been swept up in the chaos, the fear, the relief, but now, the questions began creeping in.

Yes, back then they needed him, but not nearly as much as they needed him just this very morning.

Because if Somto hadn’t arrived when he did… they would all be dead.

No matter how hurt they were by his absence, they couldn’t ignore what had just happened.
