Chapter 39
“…Don’t cry, why are you crying?”
I was crying?
Only after Rexid slowly wiped my eyes with his thumb, I realized that my eyes were wet.
It was probably… a sense of betrayal at myself for my overconfidence, as well as the sense of self-guilt that stemmed from it. It was just like how people would cry without realizing when they were unable to control their anger.
I bit down on my lip and smiled purposely as I tried to suppress my emotions.
Rexid, who wasn’t able to hear anything, must have been fairly surprised seeing me cry all of a sudden.
He was probably thinking that there was no way to cure him and that he was going to stay deaf forever.
I didn’t want to make him more anxious.
I should hurry and make the antidote.
“I’m sorry…”
Even though he couldn’t hear me, I apologized quietly as I started to grind the herbs again.
“Why are you sorry?”
At that moment, Rexid, who was still standing beside me, answered my apology.
I was so surprised that I flinched.
