Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3367

Shiloh said, "I have something very important to take care of right now. Andrew, if the only reason you tracked me down was to ask me pointless questions like these, then I have nothing more to say to you."

A flash of something dangerous crossed Andrew's eyes. His grip on her hand tightened as he said, "Shiloh, you haven't changed at all. You're still just as stubborn and self-righteous as ever. Do you still remember what happened between us at Swordhaven Keep, at the sword lake behind the mountain, almost three years ago now?"

He continued, "What were you feeling toward me back then? If you truly felt nothing, then when I crossed that line with you, why didn't you just kill me?"

His voice cracked on the last words, rising into something raw and barely controlled.

…

Downstairs, Nyx, Cormac, and Asher all went quiet at once, their expressions shifting.

Nyx moved immediately toward the stairs. However, Joe stepped in front of her, shaking his head.

He whispered, "It's better if you don't go up there. There may be some things between them that need to be worked out."

Nyx's gaze went cold. "Move. Can't you hear that something is off with Andrew right now? If anything happens to him, I will take it out on every single one of you."

The intensity rolling off Nyx hit Joe like a wall, and he swallowed hard. He held his ground as best he could and said, "Please trust me. Andrew is going to be fine. There's something unresolved between him and Shiloh, and they need the space to work through it themselves. If you go up there, it'll only make things worse between them."

Nyx's brow stayed tightly furrowed. "I'm giving it two more minutes. After that, I don't care what kind of misunderstanding it is."

Cormac and Asher exchanged a glance. Both of them had picked up on the situation, and neither of them quite knew what to say.

Cormac let out an awkward laugh and offered, "Ms. Kerrigan, let's just wait a little longer. With Andrew's ability, nothing's going to go wrong up there."

Nyx said nothing and just kept her eyes fixed on the floor above.

…

Shiloh suddenly exploded in anger. "Andrew, what right do you have to judge me?"

Andrew's heart skipped, and he turned back.

Shiloh's eyes had already turned red, and tears swirled inside them. "Andrew, I named him Remyn. Do you know why I gave him that name?"

Andrew looked confused and murmured, "Remyn… as in remembrance? Could it be… that boy is…"

In an instant, a possibility he had never dared to consider hit him, and he could hardly believe it.

Shiloh burst into tears, but she had always been strong, stubborn, and even a little extreme. So, she glared at Andrew angrily, trying to force herself not to cry. Yet the grievance and hurt in her eyes were impossible to hide.
