He held her as if she were a precious treasure. His hands trembled as he caressed her smooth back, channeling his gentle superpower into her body, meticulously checking her inch by inch.
After confirming that the woman in his arms was fine—just exhausted from the intense emotional fluctuations of the past few days—Earl Li let out a heavy sigh of relief.
