Chapter 709
“Yes, I’m unwell! Now do as you please.
If you desire a breakup, so be it.
Just leave!” she screamed.
Overwhelmed by her emotions, she snatched the report from Aziel’s grip, crumpled it further, and was about to discard it.
However, before she could, Aziel drew her into his embrace.
As Sarah writhed and pounded his chest in an attempt to break free, Aziel, his eyes rimmed red, held her even more tightly, unwilling to release her.
As her resistance began to ebb, Aziel softly inquired, “Sarah, could you please share what exactly transpired on the day you were ambushed by the robbers?”
He had been aware of Sarah’s unusual behavior since that day, and he was certain it was more than a simple abduction case.
Aziel was resolute in his quest for answers, and Sarah understood there was no evading this confrontation anymore.
Collecting herself, she dried her tears and sank into the comfort of the sofa.
After wrestling with her thoughts for a while, she finally began to recount the chilling ordeal in a tremulous voice.
“Those individuals that day… they had meticulously planned everything.
Beyond the abduction, they had a video camera with them.
”
Sarah managed to narrate the horrific incident, her body shaking uncontrollably.
Almost reflexively, she pulled herself into a ball, cocooned in Aziel’s supportive hold.
Aziel listened to her disjointed account, his heart shattering with every word.
“So, it wasn’t by choice.
I simply couldn’t bear the thought of anyone getting too close to me.
” Sarah’s voice quivered with raw emotion, causing Aziel to hold her even tighter.
He gently stroked her hair, his eyes moist, soothing her in a tender voice akin to comforting a frightened child.
“It’s alright, it’s okay.
None of this is your fault.
”
Aziel held Sarah with a firm, comforting grip, his gaze swimming with a blend of anguish and regret.
“This wasn’t your fault; you’re the victim.
I’m here with you, so don’t be scared.

Sarah nestled against Aziel’s chest, her tumultuous emotions slowly subsiding.
However, Aziel found himself plagued with regret.
He was oblivious to the profound psychological trauma Sarah had been wrestling with, and yet, he had lost control of himself the previous night.
“What’s the matter?” Spotting Aziel’s unusual expression, Sarah gently squeezed his hand.
“I…” Reflecting on the prior night, Aziel’s cheeks colored slightly.
“I didn’t realize why you were so… resistant… I may have crossed a line last night.
”
Sarah’s response was a soft chuckle; she craned her neck to meet his gaze and said, “It’s fine; I’m not bothered by it now.
