Chapter 621

Though Eden Larry's burn scarred face was unsightly and his simple-minded demeanor hardly endearing, those childlike innocent eyes of his made it impossible to truly dislike the slightly foolish man. One could only feel a pang of sorrow looking at him. Clark's clouded eyes welled up again, tears tracing the deep wrinkles on his weathered face. The dark circles beneath Eden Larry's eyelids were severe unsurprising, given the depth of his terror. It was clear he hadn't slept peacefully even once since that devastating fire years ago. But now, having mistaken Jane for a guardian angel who would protect him, his heart finally settled. Exhaustion quickly overtook him, his eyelids growing too heavy to keep open. Jane gently guided him to bed, yet even in sleep, he clung stubbornly to her hand, refusing to let go. Melanie had no choice but to fetch a cozy beanbag chair for Jane to sit beside the bed. Clark pulled up a stool as well, his expression brimming with guilt as he looked at the girl.
