---- Chapter 177 Doradora breaks the ice by stepping forward.


    Wohie! Isn''t this sweetie! The reunion! We seeded in our missionie Lordie.


    Don''t we deserve a reward! Adrian straightens to his full height, delves his hands in his pockets and I see Doradora hiding behind Trixie.


    Regretting the causality in his tone.


    Counsellor.


    Yes- My Lord.


    Get Mr Doradora a branch of acorns.


    Everyone chuckled at it and I saw Doradora stomping his foot in irritation.


    ords are deers favourite foods but sadly they weren''t Doradoras.


    He may have the head of a deer but he hates what that animal ears.


    Lordie sure can jest.


    ---- ee = He proims and seeing his pouting face I couldn''t help butugh along with all of them.


    Soon everyone stoppedughing...


    but I was still giggling.


    Tears of happiness fill my eyes.


    I watch everyone staring at me and I ce my hand on my mouth to stop myself but it was easier said than done.


    Sorry...


    I just...


    Before I know Adrians hand softly grips my wrists and he pulls it away.


    His next words made my smile vanish.


    Don''t abstain little Rabbit.


    Its been a while since I heard youugh like that.


    Indeed.


    Tt has been a while.


    Last Iughed like this when I was in thend of darkness.


    I have really missed all of them.


    Umm, I think I should go and freshen up.


    ---- Patting my flushed cheeks I was going to walk away when I stopped to look back at Adrian.


    Adrian? Yes, Sierra.


    T gulp to speak.


    My heart felt the need to do it.


    Thank you for you know...


    saving me today.


    Thear the Crets grunt andin in the background.


    But we put all efforts.


    No crediti for us.


    Trisked my life here.


    Adrian steps closer to me and I feel my heart thumping when he rests his hand on my head and whispers softly.


    How could I note little Rabbit? You called for me.


    You chose me this time.


    ---- eee = And that''s when I remembered indeed I did This time I didn''t scream for Xavier.


    It...


    was his name that left my lips Even though it was unintentional.


    But I don''t regret it even once: I felt safe with him.


    My child felt safe here.


    And that''s all that mattered right now.


    A wounded Hyena spots a safe ce, stays covert there, rests and gives her wound time to heal.


    Once she heals she steps out stronger, ready to tear down the deadliest enemies This is it.


    This ce is my safe ce where I will heal and build myself.


    And once I recover? T swear I will tear down each and every one of them who dared to hurt my child Including him.


    Love is dead.
