Chapter 34 Closing Speech

• Ava reports:
• Alex would not leave my side, he held my hand firmly, yet he seemed uneasy, as if something was troubling him, he seemed to need to go out and explode. In fact, so ominous and intimidating was the aura he emitted, that no one dared approach me from the side where he was standing and no one looked up at him.
• The girls kept approaching me, all of them looking at me with that sorrowful expression. For my part, I held back my tears, I couldn't bear to be seen crying, I didn't want to end up arousing more sympathy from those present.
