Being held by Brandan, Iris Harris felt very afraid.
At this moment, she had not yet realized that her current feelings for Brandan were already problematic.
How can one be afraid of someone they like?
She only felt that when he held her, her whole body ached unbearably.
His touch made her start to feel fear.
She really was a very timid person.
Growing up in an orphanage, she was adopted by Viola Harris's parents, but was "abandoned" after Viola was born.
In the Harris family, she was like a transparent person.
She let Brandan into her heart, that heart so devoid of security, let one person in, foolishly waiting for ten years, just for that person's words—wait for me to come back, Iris.
She also always thought she could wait forever.
However, it seems even Iris herself forgot.
The real Iris, timid and fragile, sensitive and weak, couldn't bear much hurt at all.
Now, she was finally starting to be afraid.
Beginning to fear that person she had waited for ten years.
