Charlotte Allison hadn't rested much these days, her nerves constantly in a state of heightened alert.
Last night, they managed to wipe out the opposing force in Mountain City, and today Mr. Alpinus and the Ward Family sent people to set up a defensive perimeter, with William Howard guarding the inside to ensure safety.
Only then did she let her guard down and lie in the tent, leaning on Lucas Quinn's arm, her eyelids heavy, yet her mind couldn't stop pondering certain matters.
She sensed Lucas Quinn leaning over to kiss her eyelids, her lashes fluttered slightly, and she tilted her head, speaking in a tired, hoarse voice, "I can't sleep, talk with me for a while."
Lucas Quinn moved his lips from her eyelids to her nose tip, his Adam's apple moving as he replied, "Okay."
He moved his lips away, looking at Charlotte Allison, seeing that the cuts on her face had scabbed over, he took her hand and looked at the wounds, then softly spoke.
"What are you thinking about?"
