Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2969

Outside the main hall, Severin descended from the golden bridge and swiftly embraced Diane and Gilda. In contrast to Diane's more carefree demeanor and open expression of sincere emotions, Sheila and Sofia tended to be a little more reserved and composed. Although they shared concern for Severin, they stopped a few steps away after Carson and Willette crossing the bridge moments after Severin.

Despite their pause, their beautiful eyes betrayed deep sorrow alongside hints of joy and relief.

As Severin breathed in the faint fragrance of Diane and Gilda's silk-like hair, he stroked their heads tenderly and reassured them softly, "I just used too much of my energy. It's not like I'm going to die anytime soon"

"Don't you dare talk about death!" Gilda glanced at him with a hint of indignation as she pressed her fingers against Severin's lips to silence him. Her eyes shimmered with tenderness and reproach, as though Severin were a heartless scoundrel who had abandoned his family.

Meanwhile, Carson and Willette descended the bridge feeling a little envious of the attention that Severin received from them. Willette cleared his throat awkwardly, "Hello, everyone."

Nestled in Severin's embrace, Diane and Gilda reveled in his comforting presence. They savored the energy exuding from him and nuzzled like lazy kittens basking in the morning sun. It was only when Willette cleared his throat that they realized there were outsiders around.

Startled, Diane extricated herself from Severin's arms like a startled rabbit. Her face was flush with embarrassment as she said, "Oh! I, uh, didn't realize you were here too."

Amethyst seemed to fare slightly better across from him, though the wound on his mouth had yet to heal. His clothes were in tatters, and there were palm prints all over. Thankfully, his injuries were not as severe and could easily be healed given some rest.

Heath, meanwhile, bore the most severe wounds, as his right hand had been torn from his shoulder his bones were showing. Although the bleeding had stopped, the extent of the injury suggested that it would need at least half a year before he could recover. For a half-immortal however, regenerating a broken limb and dealing with such injuries were but small problems.

Adrian's tension eased upon seeing Severin's safe return, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
