Chapter 455: Not Afraid
"Are you okay, Amora?"
Amora was So angry that she nearly opened her eyes.
This b*stard! This f*cking b*stard! I''m surprised he had it in him toe back! Honestly, I thought he
wouldn''te back even if I really did fall to my death! Wanting to punish him, Amora decided to keep
her eyes shut.
However, that n of hers backfired as he thought she was dying when he saw her trembling
uncontrobly, and his mind went nk.
Unable to contain her emotions any longer, Amora opened her eyes and shouted at the top of her
lungs, "You b*stard! Why are you always treating me like this? Did I wrong you in the past life or what?"
Damn it! He bullied me, so why am I the one who has to open my eyes andfort him? Amora
thought to herself and cried her heart out as shey in the bush.
The sound of her crying seemed to have snapped Kane back to reality, bringing life back to his dull
eyes and his heart that had been consumed by fear.
Amora thought he wasn''t afraid of losing her, but what he truly felt was the exact opposite.
Kane had watched her "die" twice before his eyes, and he simply couldn''t bear to witness something
like that ever again.
Still pale and trembling from the shock, Kane slowly knelt down beside her.
He then reached out and carried her in his arms as he said, "I''m sorry.It''s all my fault."
"Yes, it''s all your fault! You b*stard! You''re always bullying me! Why are you running from me when I
came all the way here to look for you, huh?"
Yes, why did I run away from her? Maybe it''s because of what Dad said when we had a fight the other
day.
He said I wouldn''t have hurt her if I could control myself, and that left a thorn in my heart that I could
never remove.
He''s right.
I lost control over myself and shot at her...
His words reminded me of how I killed Mom when I was young, and that the same could happen to
Amora now.
Hearing that made me wonder if there is even a single thing in this world that I have control over.
I realized the possibility that there might be no cure for my condition, and that I''m doomed to be a freak
for the rest of my life.

That''s why I''ve been running ever since.
I ran away from the office, the kids, and even Amora...
I was afraid that I would lose control again and end up killing them all! Unable to answer her question at
all, Kane simply hugged her tightly in response.
Amora slowly stopped crying when she felt him tightening his grip on her.
She then looked up at him with teary eyes and asked, "You were by my side the whole time when we
were in Lightspring, right?"
Her sudden question caught him off guard, and Kane looked away awkwardly as he said, "Why do you
ask?"
"You insisted on staying by my side at the time, even at the risk of losing your voice.So why are you
running from me when I dragged my sick self all the way here just to see you? Are you ashamed to see
me because you''ve lost your position as the president of Ronin Corporation? Or is because I''m
disabled and don''t have pretty eyes anymore? Is that why you don''t want to see me?"
"No, that''s not it!"
Kane was quick to deny it this time.
"Then why? After everything that we''ve been through, what''s scaring you so much that you''d choose to
run instead of facing it with me?"
Amora pressed on and shot him a scorching gaze.
Kane was stunned as he felt a warm sensation in his icy-cold heart.
"Aren''t you afraid of me?" he asked after a brief pause.
"Huh? Why would I be afraid of you?"
Amora asked in confusion.
Kane pointed at her shoulder and said, "I once shot you...right here..."
His lips were pale, and his voice was trembling a little when he said that.
Amora looked at where he was pointing and realized what he meant.Oh, so that''s why...My goodness,
he''s such an id*ot!
"Are you stupid? You wouldn''t have shot me in the shoulder if you really wanted to kill me! Ask yourself
this, why didn''t you shoot me here instead?"
she asked while pointing at her heart, and that question hit Kane like a truck.
