Chapter 296: Enlightenment

"Who are you?" Emily asked, her breathing uneven as she regarded Douglas with both terror and awe.

Douglas's lips moved. "I…"

'... am Douglas, your elder brother that misses you very, very much.'

But he didn't complete it, the rest of what he wished to say dying within him.

His eyes reddened as he felt the pangs of sadness gnawing at him.

Oh, how he wished to embrace her right now… to tell her that everything was okay.

But he couldn't.

No… even as he saw her hyperventilating at what she'd just experienced, Douglas could do nothing but watch in silence.

"How did you do that?" Yet another student asked, echoing the question that was on everyone's minds.

Douglas naturally ignored her, his gaze still trained on Emily who, noticing that something was wrong, spoke up.

"You're the one I saw the other day, right?"

"..."

"... Do I know you?... I don't know why but… I feel sad seeing you like that."
