"Lingde..."
Lin Su pressed down the sweet, metallic taste that nearly rose from his throat.
A glint seemed to pass through his lacquer-black eyes. Whether it was emotion or relief, he quickly concealed it all again with his miserly restraint. "Back in the dream, why didn't you kill her or drive her away?"
