Chapter 229 The Highlander's Past Ii

• Duff.
• After baring my soul to that woman, I still felt like it hadn't accomplished anything. For the first time, I cried and understood that I, Duff Sinclair, the least emotional and coldest being on earth, was affected in that way by a woman I had known for just a few days. It was understandable that my father always remained faithful to the memory of the only woman he loved, even though that woman nearly destroyed his life and the lives of his children. I understand why my brother turned to alcohol because he couldn't bear losing his family.
• And I understood it because right now, I was capable of destroying everything if it meant Mo bhan-dia nymph would come back. I rested my head on his hand and recited everything I knew, while uncontrollable tears streamed from my eyes. I don't know how long I stayed like that, despite the unbearable back pain, I told myself that even if the world ended tomorrow, no one would move me from there. I don't know how it happened, but at some point, I fell asleep holding onto the hand resting on Mo bhan-dia nymph's bed.
