Chapter 108 - I HOPE YOU DIE (2/2)

It was more painful than the fresh wounds that he got from his father this morning because he refused to play the piano.

His father had become even crazier now, since he lost his job and drank away his days.

===============

A maid named Marnie helped Lise to get dressed, because she was too weak to get up from bed and refused Gael's presence.

And for some reason, that man had not yet appeared for days now, as if he was trying to hold back his ego for not seeing Lise, as he buried himself in the problems around the attack on the McKeltar manor.

The building was being investigated now and he couldn't live there until the air was clear. It was still a mystery why The Hound had not yet pointed the McKeltar out loud as the supernatural creatures, since they had all the evidence to support that fact.

However this afternoon, apparently Gael couldn't stay calm any longer, as he visited Lise in her room.

She was standing in front of the full body mirror, staring at her bulging stomach with an empty gaze after Marnie helped her to get dressed.

She was wearing a cheerful yellow dress, but even that bright color couldn't overshadow the dark cloud over her expression.

Gael stepped into the room and stayed near the door, watching her.

On the other hand, once Marnie caught sight of Gael, she immediately scurried away from the room and closed the door, leaving the two of them alone.

”Why did you choose me?” Finally, after days, Lise decided to start talking to Gael, even though she still refused to look him right in the eyes.

”I don't.” Gael approached her slowly. He gave her time to adjust with his presence and was even ready to back away if she felt uncomfortable.

But when he saw Lise didn't give any reaction, he walked closer to her until he was standing beside that woman.

Gael longed to touch her, but he didn't do it. He didn't force his way like he used to in the past.

”I don't choose you. I love you and I don't have a say in this matter.” Gael stared at her stomach and his gaze softened.

”Is it hard for you to not love me?”

”It almost kills me.”

”I hope you will die.”
