Chapter 366 - 366: Amai (2/2)
”I've answered your questions. Now it's your turn to humor mine.”
”Eh, what the heck. Shoot.”
”Are you a criminal?” Lillie choose her wording carefully.
”I'm pretty sure you're smart enough to answer that on your own, sweetheart.”
”Those bloodstains on your clothes, they belonged to someone else. And the people who were chasing you were their comrades, seeking revenge?” Lillie stated an intellectual guess.
”Ding, ding, ding! Can someone give this lady a cookie please?” The man said to no one in particular. ”I'm surprised that you're not afraid of me after knowing my nefarious occupation.”
It would take a no-brainer to put the puzzle pieces together.
The man saw that there's no use in lying to her when the evidences of him being a Demon is pretty much obvious.
”Well, you're currently at my mercy.”
”I will hunt you down once I'm healed.”
Now that confirmed Lillie's assumption. He can't see properly due to the hit, so he must've not properly seen what she looks like.
”Is that how you speak to someone who's bringing you to the hospital?”
”You crashed me with your car—ack.” The man groaned when pain crept in his head.
”Yeah, and I have the choice to either bring you there, throw you off the car, or bring you back to your pursuers.”
”F*ck you, lady. F*ck you...”
Seeing the large, glowing building ahead, Lillie slowed down and drove her car at the entrance driveway.
She had already changed into quick and simple disguise. The secret compartment under the passenger seat contained a wig and a change of clothes.
Lillie wasn't worried about the man peeping while she changed her formal attire with a t-shirt and sweatpants since he's technically blind as of this moment.
”Can you stand or do you want me to ask for a stretcher?” Lillie observed the man from the rear-view mirror struggle to sit up.
He grunted as he forced himself up before collapsing back on the seat. Huffing, he demands, ”Help me up, will you?”
Lillie wordlessly hopped out of the car and went to open the backseat door to pull him out. She was gentle this time.
”What name would you assume, by the way? I'm thinking we should be siblings.” Lillie slung his arm around her shoulders.
Her other arm clung onto his waist to support him from walking.
”Ehhh, but wife is more suitable.”
”No.”
”You wouldn't want a husband as handsome as me?”
”My husband is ten times more handsome than you.”
”D*mn, girl, you're married already? And I was just thinking that I'm starting to you. And also, way to crush my ego.” The man clenched his hand over his chest in mock offended.
”Well? I'm giving you the honor of choosing the names we'll go with.” Carefully, she guided him inside the hospital's reception area.
”Hmm...your name will be Amai Anmitsu [1].” He said with a straight face and all seriousness.
”There's no time for desserts.” Lillie sighed. The hit must've been too much for his brain activity. Why did she asked him? She should've just made the decision.
”Nah, it's the perfect name. Because then I'll be called Amai Mochi.”
