Watching Elizabeth's face suddenly lose color, followed by anger welling up in her blue eyes, Skyler felt bored and stood up.
"If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."
Skyler had barely taken a step when he sensed Elizabeth rising from her seat.
His eyes narrowed. If she dared to attack him, there was only one fate awaiting her.
Death.
A white glow gathered at his fingertips.
But the attack he expected never came.
Instead, a heavy thud sounded behind him.
Skyler paused and turned around.
Elizabeth was kneeling on the floor.
The cold composure she had maintained was gone. Her dignity, her pride, everything she had carried had been cast aside. Her eyes were red-rimmed as she looked up at him, her voice trembling with desperation.
"Please... I beg you, save him."
"I know you can..."
Skyler froze for a split second.
He bent down slightly, bringing himself closer to her eye level as he stared at her.
