Chapter 246 - That is all I need to know (2/2)

Rhys sends a harsh glare towards Reiji who was standing by the door, ”You...if she dies, I'll curse your soul and slice it to pieces no matter how many times you're reborn.”

”....I know.”

Reiji's response was quiet, almost like a faded whisper and memory. Rhys fully understood the reason, and yet that didn't make him happier about it. He already knew, knew that it really isn't his fault. Reiji isn't too blame for this. Even if he didn't come here, she would have come to that conclusion, regardless.

His eyes went wide when he hears the girl call his name. His name of all things. He could feel a slight tear in his eye... She that girl, she called for him. For him.

Kazuya, he's sorry about this. But he, also knew what would happen, didn't you?

Please.

Please, don't take this girl away from them.

Please let her live.

Let her live; there are still so so many things he wants to talk to her about, to tell her. Don't take her away, when he still has so many things he wants to speak to her about.

...

The next few hours could easily have been described as hell and pleasure. Although he could touch the girl, he loves at the same time his heart couldn't rest because several times during it, her heart stopped several times. The treatment he gave her required severe physical contact. If Kazuya finds out, he's dead.

”Lyn, this isn't the time, but you're stunning.” he murmurs against her ear. If she knew, would she cry? He was touching her, but this didn't feel right.

When she stirred, she murmurs, 'Rhys' and his arms were wrapped firmly around the girl in seconds. ”.....you almost died, what would I have done...if you were to disappear?”

This was the first time, Rhys had heard his voice sound so feeble and weak. But just now, he really did almost lose her. He almost lost her and if that happened... Suddenly Lyn turned around and placed her hand on his face; she shook her head. ”Don't worry; I won't die easily. I already promised you after all, that I won't die and I ...saw something else. How you stayed with me to the very end back then.” At that comment his eyes went wide, she....remembers? ”Though, I don't exactly remember it clearly. I do know that it was your hand; such a warmth can only belong to one person. Even back then, you were always protecting me. Thank you. I am very happy.”

”.... you're happy...?”

”Yes,” Lyn smiled. She brushed her fingers against his lips, ”So very happy, to know that you followed me all this way to ensure I'd be safe and live happily.”

”That is all I need to know.”
