Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1887

Not to mention, Kai had also been present at that time.

With the answer now clear in her mind, Shannon silently put down her phone. She then reached out and lifted the mini dragon from her shoulder, bringing him up to her face.

Her eyes were deep and focused as she looked at him. "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

…

After confirming it wasn't an illusion, Shannon could guess when Benjamin had shielded her from the heavenly lightning upon careful recollection.

In her memory, there were two instances when the golden light around him had weakened.

The first time was just before her birthday, when he had been away for a month. After his return, his golden light had dimmed.

The second time was when she encountered the Unmelting Bone in Harrisfield Village.

During those days, he had disappeared. When he finally showed up again, the golden light around him had faded to the point of almost vanishing.

If the scene she had seen was real, it could only have been the second time.

When the storm clouds gathered in the sky back then, she had wondered why the calamity lightning hadn't struck yet.

She never imagined that the lightning wasn't aimed at the Unmelting Bone. What she also hadn't realized was that the reason the lightning hadn't fallen was that Benjamin had blocked everything for her.

The sound of footsteps accompanied by familiar golden light approached her.

Shannon looked up and saw Benjamin, who had somehow appeared and was now standing in the courtyard not far from her.

He gazed at her, his dark eyes almost hidden beneath the golden light, making it difficult to see them.

Kai and Albany exchanged a look, and the two little ones, for once in perfect sync, quickly took off and dashed away.

That was Benjamin's memory, and at the same time, it was also the memory of the Divine Power. Those fine lines were the scars left on him by the Divine Power.

"Why didn't you tell me?" She stared at him with persistence, seemingly demanding an answer.

When Benjamin met her gaze, his dark eyes seemed to stir with hidden turbulence.

Had this been before, he would have told her because there would have been no need to keep it from her.

However, after the connection with the Soul of the Dragon Vein, there was a newfound answer in his heart. It was the answer that had once resided in the heart of the old Benjamin.

He gently raised his hand, his fingertip unexpectedly and lightly brushing across the frown on her slightly knitted brows. The coolness of his fingertip, glowing faintly with golden light, tried to smooth the wrinkle on her forehead.

He confessed, "Because I didn't want to see this look on your face."

The sorrow on her face, he meant.
