Chapter 32 The Price Of Betrayal Pt1

• In one moment, I still felt Arcel beside me. The next thing I knew, he was walking towards the man I pointed out. I quickly chased after him and grabbed his hand. No one had noticed us yet as they were all busy with their own activities.
• "Arcel..." Despite my efforts to remain strong, I couldn't help but feel a sudden weakness. Images of possible scenarios flashed through my mind. That's trauma, I guess. No matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you carry it with you. Even though the sinister plans against me didn't materialize, my mind continues to revolve around that moment whenever something reminds me of it.
• Arcel looked at me. I momentarily lost myself and felt scared by the expression on his face. I swallowed hard but steadied myself. I just reasoned that Arcel wouldn't hurt me, no matter how angry he looked right now.
