Chapter 37 - HIS NIECE (2/2)

”Drink,” he said, as he brought the glass close to her lips, but Lise swatted it away, which caused the glass to slip from Gael's grip. It then shattered on the floor.

The girl glared at him, her jaw clenched tightly.

For a moment, they just stared at each other, before Lise broke the silence and asked about Sol.

”Where is he? What have you done to him?” she asked through gritted teeth.

However, Gael didn't heed her question, he simply took another glass and poured water into it, repeating the same action that he did before.

And for the second time, Lise swatted away the glass, and it ended up like the previous glass.

”Where is Sol? What did you do to him?” Lise asked fiercely. She didn't care about what Gael would do to her later, she needed to know that Sol was fine. She wouldn't be able to live if something happened to him because of her. She already had no will to live at this point…

”I care more about him than I care about myself,” Lise bit out fiercely.

Therefore, instead of saying a reasonable thing, he laughed at that. ”I am beyond hopeless…” he said between his laughs.

Blue stiffened the moment she smelled the scent of coffee that was brought by the wind from the open window.

The little girl was trying to do her homework when she smelled him.

However, unlike before, she stayed in her place. She didn't jump from her seat to find the source of the scent. Instead, she sat still, staring at the unanswered question in her book.

She bit her bottom lip, trying to stay still. She was not sure that she wanted to meet him or not, after the last incident.

On the other hand, there was a certain someone, who was standing still in the library, staring at the door…
