Dust swirled in the air as Zoe stopped and lowered her sweat-filled face, her heart pounding against her chest.
"Leon," she said in a ragged voice, stepping forward while holding a brown bag. "Li Mei wants you to have this before you go."
Hei Yung tried to stop Zoe, but he froze when he saw Leon shake his head once while descending the Triarch's ramp.
Zoe moved forward and stopped in front of the three officials of the Agatha Special Forces and Feng, tears slowly welling in her eyes.
The moment Leon reached her, he placed a hand on her shoulder and looked her in the eye. "Thank you, Zoe."
Zoe's eyes rolled back for a couple of seconds before she threw herself into him in a tight hug.
"Leon," her soft voice whispered near his ear as the hug's intensity increased. "We will be waiting for your return."
"Lily?" Leon asked, slowly pulling himself from the hug while keeping his hands on her arms.
