Chapter 690

"Sherilyn?"

Edgar's heart leapt, the pain in his arm momentarily forgotten. "You're awake? It's me, Edgar!"

"Ed...gar..."

"Yes, it's me!"

Silence followed before Sherilyn began to sob quietly, resting on his back. "Ed...gar..."

Yes, it was Edgar, his voice unmistakable!

Sherilyn's consciousness was foggy, murmuring incoherently in a barely audible hum.

"Save me... please save me..."

But he had walked away, watching helplessly as she was taken.

Regret filled Edgar's heart as he spoke with even greater tenderness. "Sherilyn, I'm so sorry I'm late. I'm here now... to save you."
