Chapter 784 Her Independence

William felt as if his chest were searing with fire from the heat of Emelie's tears.

He knew that Emelie had woken from a nightmare, and her emotions were unstable. He didn't intend to startle her.

However, when she started sobbing, he couldn't stop his body from trembling slightly. He tightened his embrace, pulling her closer to his chest.

"Angel... I've got you," he said.

Emelie wasn't the type to cry easily. It was the first time William had ever seen her in tears.

"Angel.." he repeated.

Whenever Emelie shut her eyes, the images of dismembered bodies would flood her mind.

"It's all my fault... If I hadn't gone to the Swanson family dinner, I wouldn't have been drugged. Wesley wouldn't have gotten angry, and none of this would've happened..." she said in a hoarse voice.

How could she blame herself?

William's brows knitted tightly. "No matter whose fault it is, it's definitely not yours."

Emelie pushed against his chest. "You're right. It was your fault."
