Chapter 206 From A Distance

• Axel stood at a distance, observing the young woman as she walked towards a waiting taxi The tumultuous encounter still fresh in his mind. First, she had bumped into him, yelling in frustration, and then impulsively plunged her hand into the trash to retrieve a seemingly worthless ornament, resulting in an injury. He found himself strangely affected by her actions, going so far as to dig through the trash to retrieve her seemingly insignificant n*ecklace.
• Even after that he was still restless and had returned this time, with bandages in hand, he had even prevented her from almost falling, the clutched bandages still a visible reminder of the encounter, which he glanced down at with irritation.
• He scrutinized her small, defeated figure, resembling a wet and bullied puppy.
