She wanted to pull her hand back, but he still firmly held her hand. "Do you think I'm being too clingy?"
She sighed, "You're Elder Kinston of Falling City. You don't really have to put yourself in such a situation. Your feelings for me now might be out of guilt, or perhaps due to Destiny's bond. Maybe after you calm down for a while, you'll realize that you might not love me as deeply as you think. As for the Kinston Family's Blood Curse, I've already said that I'll spend every Full Moon night with you. You are Ivy's father, so... no matter what, I won't let you die just like that."
But her words only made his phoenix eyes dim. "If I weren't Ivy's father, would my life or death be irrelevant to you?"
She was stunned, but a voice in her heart told her it wasn't irrelevant. Even if he wasn't Ivy's father... she wouldn't let him die.
Is it because she simply couldn't allow a life to end because of her, or is it something else?
