Chapter 41 Wanting To Comfort Him

• Narine's POV
• I wasn’t prepared for the profound sorrow reflected in his eyes. It wasn’t a volatile kind of pain that erupted into anger or demanded attention, it was a deep, quiet anguish that seemed to seep from his very soul. The weight of it struck me unexpectedly, wrapping around my heart like a heavy cloak, rendering me almost breathless.
• There was no anger in his voice when he said he would let me go either. Despite the weight of the moment, there was no trace of anger or resentment in his tone. It was as if he had already accepted the situation, and the realization hit me with an overwhelming heaviness. My heart squeezed tightly in my chest, a painful contraction that felt almost like a physical reprimand, as though it were punishing me for the hurt I had caused.
