"Do you want to take a bath?"

Gwen froze, then nodded gently.

Leon nodded and took her hand, leading her to the bathroom. His mind was pure, and he definitely didn’t have any perverted thoughts.

’Yeah, right.’

"Here’s a towel, your nightwear, a toothbrush, and a toothpaste."

After giving her the three, he closed the door and returned to the room.

He was feeling exhausted, as the fight today had been particularly tiring. Taking out an electronic lamp from his storage ring, he illuminated the room and lay on the bed.

’When Thyra comes out again, I want to know more about her.’

In his heart, he didn’t think their love was going to last. After all, they belonged to different worlds and different levels.

Thyra was like a god, while he was a mortal—no, an ant. Their encounter was nothing short of a blissful coincidence, and he was prepared to enjoy it for as long as it lasted.

That was why he had easily confessed to her. While love was complicated, it was also very simple. As long as a person didn’t overthink, it was simple enough.

’I didn’t think she’d actually like me back, though. But what can I say? This Daddy is just too amazing.’

He didn’t feel smug, though. He was well aware that he had countless flaws that might not be fixable

’Well, no one is perfect, right? With the sole exception of Thyra, of course.’

He continued to mentally glaze her, entertaining himself with his foolish thoughts.

Soon, he heard the bathroom door open, and Gwen stepped outside.

"Leon?"

He quickly stood up and went to her side. Once again, he was hit by her fresh scent, and he instinctively took a deep breath.

"Are you hungry?" He asked as he took her hand.

Gwen smiled at him and shook her head. "No, not at all. I ate more than enough chicken today."

"Alright. We should go to sleep, then."

He helped her lay on the bed, then lay beside her on the other side of the bed. The rain was still falling outside, and he was already feeling sleepy.

He turned off the electronic lamp and prepared to turn in for the night.

’Evening, actually. But it’s still the same.’

"Leon?" Gwen called him again, causing him to turn to her. "Are you going to sleep like that?"

He raised an eyebrow. "Am I missing something?"

She sighed, then turned to him. "Just because I’m blind doesn’t mean I don’t know how to use my abilities or that I’ve become weak."

Leon immediately understood. "I know that, but you should rest first. Perhaps tomorrow—"

"Take it off," She interrupted him in a stern voice.

Leon almost chuckled. "I already told you to relax, didn’t I? Tomorrow—"

"I said take it off," She insisted.

Leon frowned, and seeing the determination on her face, he grunted.

"Fine."

With a tug at the hem, he pulled off his round neck top and placed it beside him. Sensing the movement, Gwen reached out and soon found his torso.

Her hands slid to the left side of his chest, and she activated her ability.

’Wow...’ Leon released a contented sigh as he felt the sensation accompanied by her ability.

He didn’t say anything, merely enjoying the comfort while it lasted.

Finally, Gwen stopped but didn’t pull away.

"Done?" He asked gently.

Gwen nodded, then snuggled closer. While Leon watched in a daze, she wrapped her arms around him and pressed her face against his chest with a contented smile.

"Hm, sleeping like this feels better. I’m no longer scared of the darkness," She said.

’This... woman...’ Leon’s lips twitched. ’Scared of the darkness?’

It sounded like a reasonable excuse for someone who had just lost their sight. However, he didn’t believe it.

’She’s just taking advantage of me, knowing I won’t push her away.’

"Goodnight, Leon," She said softly.

Leon’s displeasure melted away, and he answered with a hum. ’Sorry, Thyra. I’ll make it up to you when you come back.’

With that, he wrapped his arms around Gwen’s waist and closed his eyes. It didn’t take long before he fell asleep.

Just like the past few days, he had another vague dream. It felt blurry and chaotic, but he could remember hearing female voices as fine as silk, singing, laughing, and chatting.

When he woke up, his brows creased in confusion before his attention was drawn to the sleeping beauty in his arms.

’Could it be because of her? It has been a while since I last hugged anyone. I kinda miss Marie and Nora. Haa...’

"Mmm..."

He noticed Gwen shifting in his arms, and he realized she was awake. Keeping his composure even though she couldn’t see his face, he pulled away from her and stood up.

"Good morning," He greeted calmly.

The rain had stopped, and it was morning again.

"Good morning, Leon," Gwen replied, stretching her arms.

They had slept for over thirteen hours. Leon couldn’t deny feeling completely refreshed... except for the discomfort below.

He quickly took his towel and went into the bathroom to take another bath.

After confirming that he had gone, Gwen quietly covered her reddened face with her hands.

’Ah... I felt it. He... he... pervert!’

Unaware that he had left a huge impression on someone, Leon took a quick, effective bath.

Less than an hour later, they exited the room hand in hand as Leon guided her to the ground floor.

The others were already waiting in the reception hall, while the Titanbreaker Legion warriors were outside preparing.

When the two appeared, everyone turned to them.

As expected, Miguel blurted out what immediately came to his mind.

"Woah... you two slept together?"

Selene immediately shot him a frosty look, and he almost choked on his own saliva.

Everyone else tactically ignored the question and focused on their plans for the day.

Reymond held up a phone in his hand. "Once we leave Jersey City, it should only take us a few hours before we reach the Newark Camp."

Selene nodded. "Mn. I didn’t think we’d get here so fast, though."

Miguel nodded in agreement, though he didn’t dare say anything in order not to attract her attention.

Fel stood to the side, her gaze occasionally shifting to Leon and Gwen before looking away.

Leon took out packaged portions of the mutated chicken meat and handed it to the others.

"Have breakfast before we leave. We’re reaching that camp today."

Bliss accepted her own pack and watched him go distribute to his men. ’He seems eager. Is any of his family members in Newark?’
