Her sobs filled the air, her shoulders shaking violently. Arlo Seys reached out to hold her, his tone unusually gentle, "Don’t panic. You an—you hit him, he bled a lot, and you didn’t check if he was dead?"
Ariel Morris nodded, trembling.
Arlo Seys’s expression turned serious as he thought it through. He looked at Ariel Morris, his voice slightly deep, "Ariel Morris, listen to . We’ll report this to the police now, and explain the situation clearly. You’re acting in self-defense, you won’t be held responsible. Besides, it’s not certain if the person is dead!"
Ariel Morris was terrified at the word ’police’ and shook her head vigorously. She was still young and didn’t want to waste her pri years in prison. If she got caught for murder, her life would be ruined.
Arlo Seys held her shoulders, looking directly into her eyes, his gaze earnest, "Ariel Morris, trust , even if you accidentally killed soone in self-defense, I will definitely protect you and keep you safe!"
Ariel Morris stepped back two paces, shaking her head in panic to reject his suggestion, "Arlo Seys, you can’t help . If that person really died, then I’ve killed soone! Murder! Do you know what charge that is? Arlo Seys, I don’t dare to confess because I don’t have the courage to spend my most youthful and beautiful years in prison!"
Arlo Seys stepped forward two steps, looking at her with determination, "Ariel Morris, trust ! With , there’s nothing to fear!"
His eyes were filled with an extraordinary resolve, giving a reassuring power. Ariel Morris looked at him, softly murmuring, "Arlo Seys..."
Arlo Seys pursed his lips, "Trust , Ariel Morris, I’ve got everything. If I can’t protect you, then I’ll be with you."
His words were few, yet they pierced deep into her heart. Ariel Morris looked at him, her eyes filled with his firm promise, tears suddenly welling up intensely.
’I’ve got everything’—these four words were perhaps the most beautiful she’d ever heard in her life.
Arlo Seys, a cool and indifferent boy, yet at her most frantic and helpless mont, offered her the greatest warmth and promise, leaving an indelible mark on her heart.
In her youthful days, she was grateful to the heavens for letting her et him, the warst ray of sunshine in her life—Arlo Seys.
