Now seeing a worried and haggard but still handsome face, she couldn't help but lean on him for comfort.

"You came.." she whispered. Her unpleasant voice was already destroyed from merciless torture, and every word causes pain on her throat.

"I'm late. Am I?" He whispered back. His voice cracking with emotions.

I looked at him deeply. Perhaps this is really the first time I will look at him without prejudice. A depressing sadness and worries are currently visible on his gorgeous face.

Why did you save me?

Why do you keep reminding me before?

Why are you sad and worried about me, as if I'm important to you?

Just why..

"Hmm..yeah. Took you so long, Mr. Perfect" I murmured then giggled because of her nickname to him.

His face softened because of the familiar nickname. His lips curved a helpless smile, but his eyes are red because of fear. Fear of her leaving. Just like the fear he felt a week ago, when he received the news.

It took them three whole months to notice the abnormality in her base. He was out on a mission and just returned three days ago and he went crazy upon learning about the news. He was life an asura of hell, just to confirm her disappearance and locate her location after intensive search.

He flipped the whole capital just to find her. Killed and tortured everyone involved just to locate her. The moment he opened the sealed tank, and saw her dim and soulless eyes, and destroyed body, he knew it was already too late.

Along the way out of this hateful base, corpes and explosions could be seen. He no longer has a reason to not destroy this base. How dare they touch what's his.

He carried her to her favorite garden behind the base. Her secret sanctuary where she cried and laughed alone for years. Also, the place where he first saw her..

Contrast from the whole world, this garden is full of life. He saw how she slowly cultivated the garder. Collecting pure soil little by little, planting flowers repeatedly, until from one to two plants, the garden was now full of flowers.

Red, White, Lavender, Pink, Yellow flowers were scattered beautiful. A simple reclining chair and small tea table, are the only furnitures.

He slowly sat down, on the now dusty reclining chair, with her still in his arms. He doesn't seem to mind her dirty and filthy smell.

"Well, you've trained your dogs too well. It took me months to find out" he said. His eyes cold from remembering the bunch of traitors.

"Hehe.. should I feel proud or angry?" She giggled not minding anything anymore. She's at her limit. Her breathing is getting weaker and weaker every second. She looked up at Liam, with her unusually clear eyes.

"Thank you..thank you Xander" she sincerely whispered. Her breathing staggering and her eyes getting heavy. Liam's hugged her tighter. His voice trembling, his body shaking.

Who would have thought, that of all people, he'll be the one to send her on her way.

"It's okay, little tigress, you can rest now. Close your eyes and sleep" he softly whispered with his cracking voice and gentle and doting eyes. She fought a few seconds to whispered intermittently.

"In our..next life..if we meet.. again, I'll be good to you. How...how about..being partners then?.." she gasped and gave him a naive smile, before closing her eyes completely.

Before her consciousness disappeared, she felt hot droplets on her face, and low painful cries on her neck..

Perhaps.. I'm not too pitiful after all..
