Tiendavis - For Perfect Salvation (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 221
“…Did I hurt you?”
The word “hurt” turned into a cold stab of pain, clawing and piercing through Sion’s body.
He wanted to say no.
There had been many days when he’d thrashed in silence, and even on a single day, he’d fallen into a pitiful hole several times, staring blankly into the void—yet even so, he never wanted to admit in front of anyone that he’d been wounded.
No matter how wretched he felt inside, at least outwardly, he was superior to everyone else.
He held an exalted status, was stronger than a soaring dragon, and fulfilled his duty as one of the pillars holding up the world.
That was why he wanted to deny it.
Acknowledging that he’d been hurt would strip away the grand facade of Laurel, revealing the child hidden beneath.
That child—once believing himself the center of the world, only to fall and fall again, still lingering there—was a weakness he never wanted anyone to see.
Sion’s reluctance showed in his long silence, and Ivy briefly closed her eyes.
Just a moment ago, she’d seen Sion crying.
She’d only asked what she should do to stay with him, yet the corners of his eyes had reddened.
Ivy was startled by how shaken and unsteady he’d become over such a simple question. She’d wanted to pull him into a tight embrace.
Just as he’d done for her when she cried, she wanted to help him cry freely too.
But she couldn’t. Why was that?
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
Deis I know you’re capable, but please be careful!
