Chapter 146 I'd Pay Any Price

• Cecilia’s POV
• Klaus gently kissed Emilia's closed eyelids once more, his fingers brushing away the tears that had slipped from her eyes. “I’m so sorry, Emilia,” he whispered. Her small, fragile form lay in his arms like a flower on the verge of wilting.
• “Don’t be afraid. I’ll be back with you soon,” Klaus said softly, standing up slowly. He carefully placed Emilia on a clean, soft carpet under the warm glow of the room’s light. Her face, peaceful in sleep, looked untouched by the pain of her wounds.
