Chapter 428 He is a Man

• After Hugo closed the door, Celia sank onto the couch, her shirt dress slightly disheveled. The substance Brake had given her made her body feel like it was on fire, and a familiar emptiness surged within her, leaving her embarrassed and uncomfortable. She needed a man—right now.
• Hugo rushed over to check on her. Celia's eyes were half-lidded, her gaze unfocused, and she reached for his arm, almost pleading, "Hugo, please… help me."
• "Are you sure?" Hugo asked softly, concern evident in his voice. He worried she might regret it once the effects wore off.
