Thump thump!
Yesseca's heart began to pound hard.
Tremaine was actually holding her hand!
Yesseca was in so much panic that she didn't know what to do.
There were all kinds of messy thoughts in her mind.
Why did Tremaine grab onto her hand?
What exactly was he trying to do?
Perhaps he didn't know that it was her hand, and thought that it was Montez's hand that he was holding?
Yesseca's mind was going crazy.
On the other side, Tremaine was just grabbing onto Yesseca's hand, not doing anything else.
After a long time, Yesseca finally calmed down a little.
She tried to suppress the thudding in her heart as she pushed herself up a little.
She wanted to look at Tremaine since her view was slightly blocked by Montez.
It turned out that the man had his eyes closed.
Yesseca felt her heart plummeting to the ground.
It turned out that he was already asleep.
She figured that he might have grabbed onto her hand by accident.
Yesseca wanted to pull her hand from Tremaine's grasp.
However, just a little while later, Yesseca suddenly stopped again.
Yesseca's health had always been less good, hence her hands were always cold. Tremaine on the other hand, had warm hands despite having a cold outlook.
Yesseca's hand felt really warm as he held on to it.
And the part of her hand exposed to the air turned icy cold again.
Yesseca suddenly felt a little reluctant to remove her hand.
She was greedy for the warmth from the man's palm.
And the warm palm made her think about someone.
It was Lothar.
She remembered that before she got her operation, she would often get needle shots. The needles were always really thick, and she was really scared of them.
Lothar would always hold her hand and assure her.
Every time Lothar held her cold hands, Yesseca would feel warm, and all fears would dissapear.
She knew that she had her brother by her side.
Yesseca sniffed a little.
After a while, she carefully put her hand back into Tremaine's grasp.
She knew that it was somehow wrong for her to do so.
She even felt that her actions were a little shameless.
But God, please forgive her for this once.
She needed the warmth of that palm.
Yesseca then closed her eyes.
Lothar came into her line of vision.
Lothar was there, smiling at her.
The corners of Yesseca's lips curled up.
"Lothar, you've always have been by my side haven't you? You have always been looking over me, guarding me."
"My days are happy, and I've been trying hard to always smile. Because I know that you're always looking at me, that's why I want to live happily for
you."
Yesseca muttered in her heart as the corners of her lips curled up even more.
