?Chapter 219:


    Sean enveloped Norah in a firm embrace, as if trying to meld her into himself.


    “Please, let me know if you’re in danger again. I can’t bear the thought of you being in such peril,” Sean said earnestly. He saw Norah as someone delicate, someone he was sworn to protect. Despite her capabilities, he assumed the threat of danger surely frightened her.


    Then, heforted Norah with a gentle pat on the back. “I’m here for you, as your partner. You’ve opened up to me, which means you trust me. Let’s build on that trust a little more.”


    Touched by his concern, Norah felt a wave of emotion, her eyes moistening. Suchpassion was new to her. His first reaction was not to reprimand, but to express concern for her well-being. This was warmth she knew couldn’te from mere friendship.


    “I feel sorry for Alice,” Norah whispered.


    “I’ll make it right,” Sean soothed, giving Norah a tender caress on her head.


    “Okay…” Norah then shifted to move closer to him, hiding her face in his embrace. “Sean, do you still have feelings for me?”


    She wondered if he could continue to embrace someone whose true nature was so different from what he initially perceived.


    “Norah, my feelings for you are unwavering. I will always love you,” Sean dered.

    Perhaps it was their initial encounter on the racing track or his discovery of her as the Supernatural Doctor that made her shine in his eyes. Later on, his kindness toward his grandfather and Susanna only deepened his affection for her.


    Theirmitment to each other solidified, ready to face any challenge together, prioritizing solutions above all.


    “Everyone carriesplexity within them. I understand,” Sean said, his gaze soft. “Our rtionship hasn’t been long. We’ve only shown each other our best sides. Everyone harbors secrets; it’s inevitable. And that’s perfectly fine.”


    To Sean, those whom Norah had imed the lives of were merely societal rejects, incapable of impacting his and Norah’s bond.


    “There’s ample time for us to truly understand each other, Norah. There’s no need to be afraid,” Sean added gently.


    “Alright,” Norah replied, her apprehensions mirroring Sean’s assurances. The memory of Derek’s reaction upon discovering her true identity as Selene lingered vividly in her mind. Derek’s harsh words had left her distressed, all because she had hidden her true self. And now, after confessing to having taken lives, she felt vulnerable.


    Sean didn’t dwell on it and simplyforted her. “It’s alright, Norah. No need for lengthy exnations. Are you feeling exhausted? Let me take you back to rest. Actually, Phillip can handle things for you. You should have confided in me sooner.”


    Norah straightened up and averted her gaze. “I fear my experiences might disturb your appetite,” she whispered.


    Her life had been entwined with death and violence, which asionally took a toll on her.


    Sean had a point about their attempts to maintain favorable impressions during their rtionship.


    With this thought, Norah chuckled, wrapping her arms around his neck. “Sean, what if our feelings deepen and then you’re disillusioned by me?”


    “Don’t talk like that. Focus on the positives,” he urged.


    He then tapped her gently on the head. “Let’s head back.”


    “If you say so,” Norah replied, snuggling into his chest and nuzzling his neck. “I’d rather not walk.”


    Smiling, Sean slid his arm under her legs, lifting her with ease. “In that case, I’ll carry you.”


    Thereafter, Norah clung to his neck securely.
