Chapter 95. Fatigue

Upon hearing those words, I opened my eyes immediately, the confusion evident in my expression.

What? He’ll come back to get me?

How could that even happen if he’s already no longer in this world?

“River?” I called in a low tone as my body froze.

At that moment, I didn’t know what to feel. The warmth coming from beside me was so real. I also held his hand and heard his voice.

What if the man beside me… was really River?

Could it be possible, or am I just lucid dreaming right now?

I took a deep breath and looked at my waist. Still, the hands were enveloping my waist, not too tight but not too loose, either.

My heart pounded loudly, like it was about to go out of my chest.

I could also feel the sweat accumulating on my forehead, not because I was afraid, but because I was hoping too much.

“River!” I called, my heart hopeful as I turned around.

But as soon as I did that with my lips curved into a smile, I saw nothing.
