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..."

Hearing her cry, Edgar froze. Sherilyn must be terrified, and it was his fault. He should have escorted her home the moment he found her.

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."

But then, the figure on his back went silent again.
