Chapter 1725
The light in Taya's eyes slowly faded away, as if she had been plunged into an endless darkness filled with nothing but despair.
Her mind was filled with images of Griffon having his skull opened. She didn't know if those people had given him anesthesia, which could at least ease the pain, or if they had just cut him open without any numbing. She couldn't imagine the feeling of having things taken out of his brain piece by piece...
Just the thought of Griffon dying in such agony made Taya's heart feel like it was being ripped in two.
She took big, gasping breaths, but still couldn't catch her breath. The suffocating feeling was unbearable, as if her mouth and nose were blocked and she couldn't even get any air.
Taya winced in pain, clutching her chest and slowly bending over, but the excruciating pain in her heart just wouldn't ease. Tears streamed down her face, drop by drop, hitting the floor...
Holden couldn't help but lift his head when he saw the tears on the ground. What he saw was Taya's lifeless appearance. In that moment, feelings of guilt and self-blame rushed into his heart, making him unable to look directly at her.
"My sister asked him to protect me, so he did... "
Thinking about the way Griffon sacrificed himself for him, Holden buried his head even deeper into his knees.
"Sorry..."
Taya's ears slowly regained their ability to hear as she looked away from Holden, who had buried his head in his knees, with her eyes red and swollen.
"So you're saying he chose you, so he doesn't want me anymore."
She almost used all her strength to say these words from her throat.
He promised her that he would come back, but he ended up leaving her behind to save someone else.
Should she praise him for his righteousness, or should she hate him for his cruelty?
Taya's face turned pale, with a touch of endless mockery.
But could she blame him for this?
No, she couldn’t.
Because of her husband risked everything to save others.
She released her hand from her chest and wiped away the tears on her face before looking down at Holden, who was still kneeling.
“Where are his ashes?”
"No one claimed his body."
