Chapter 620 - Grateful For The Rain (1/2)

London cleared their plates quickly and then entered his room too. He then took out a bottle of whiskey and a glass, and then enjoyed a drink on the balcony of his room while pondering.

His conversation with L tonight was quite profound. The girl even wanted to share a little about her past.

Remembering L's life, which was quite hard since she was in the orphanage and then living independently since three years ago, London became touched.

It felt like he wanted to make up for all the hardsh.i.p.s of life that the girl had experienced. Unfortunately, L did not want to give him a chance at all.

He stared at the dark sky that was adorned by thick clouds, while his heart was restless thinking about L and their child. After finishing a glass of whiskey and swallowing a sleeping pill, London felt sleepy and went to sleep.

He had only slept for one hour when suddenly he was startled by the screeching sound of thunder from outside. Ugh ... the weather forecast indeed said it will rain tonight. He got up and went to his cupboard to take the noise-canceling earphones so he could get uninterrupted sleep.

Wait... What was that?

His sharp ears heard the faint sound of crying near his room.

Instinctively his legs rushed out of the room and knocked on L's bedroom door.

”L ... are you all right?”

Now he could hear her cry more clearly. London became very worried.

”I'll open the door ... I need to check your condition.”

Fortunately, L did not lock the door to her room. London easily opened the door and he hurried inside.

The scene in front of him was heartbreaking.

L was curled up in the corner of her bed while hugging a pillow with a horrified look.

”Hey .. hey, what's wrong with you?” London hurried over to the girl. L lifted her face with a pair of teary eyes, making London very surprised. ”Gosh... what happened?”

London's question was immediately answered when the thunder roared once more and L cowered in fear.

Was ... was the sound of thunder that scary for her? London thought in puzzlement.

London felt confused. He had never seen an a.d.u.l.t so frightened by the sound of thunder. L reminded him of Little Prince Siegfried, his sister's cute dog. He was always cowering in fear as heavy rain came accompanied by lightning and thunder.

”Sshh ... don't be afraid ... I'm here ...” London was touched to see L that way. The girl who was usually cold and temperamental now looked very vulnerable in front of him. His masculine instinct was up and ready to protect the girl. ”I'm here ... don't be afraid.”
