Chapter 688 Even I Could Not Keep Her Alive (1/2)

Cloris closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Slowly and steadily her breathing calmed down.

Sean was lost in the comforting sight of her sleeping peacefully.

After a while, as the heat from the sun slowly increased in intensity, Sean gently patted Cloris on the back to wake her up.
