Chapter 273 - Ghosts (2/2)
”Allen, you really want to marry me?”
”I do.”
Does he love her? She wants to ask him that. Before Lyn could open her mouth, there is a heavy knock on the door. Lyn quickly drew back from Allen and stood up.
”Yes? What is—” Lyn paused when the person fell forwards? It was Kazuya. ”Y—you have a fever!” Lyn exclaimed. That's not the only problem. Lyn noted that his arm was injured. Ahh? What happened to him?
Allen frowned and got up, ”What happened?”
”Allen, Kazuya is hurt. I think there is an intruder.”
While she knew that Shu and Reiji liked to go overboard with their training, it's not to the extent that somebody will sustain physical injuries like this. Rhys wouldn't do something this stupid.
”Bring him inside.”
”Ah, yes.”
….
Lyn looked at the sleeping Kazuya with a worried look on her face. This is the first time she has seen him so weak and powerless. Was he weakened after fighting with Pupillam? The other day the two got into a fight. No, Lyn shook her head. That fight with Pupillam didn't affect him much, unlike the match with Rhys. Kazuya overwhelmed Pupillam.
She rushed over to the bed and grabbed hold of his hands. He really looks like he's suffering. What was she doing the entire time, Lyn feels the tears falling from her face? ”What did they say?”
”Drugs.”
Drugs? ”He probably sustained that wound from a fight and tried to escape. He didn't return last night,” Allen commented. ”You didn't notice?”
How could she have noticed... No, it's her fault for not paying him enough attention.
”What are you crying for? He's not dead. He's just sleeping because of his depression,” Allen seemed strangely irritated.
”Kazuya is suffering from so much pain from the withdrawal symptoms, and yet I didn't notice.”
”Didn't he bring this upon himself? He doesn't deserve any sympathy at all.”
Lyn stood up and made her way over to Allen, who was sitting on the couch. ”I'll take care of him.”
”I want to stay by your side.”
At that, her eyes twitch in annoyance, ”What a joke. I know you are tired of me. I know that what you wanted was the old me. ”
Allen sighed, ”Don't be so foolish.” But Lyn could see it in his eyes.
”But isn't it like that? You're suddenly treating me so well, but you keep telling me you've always treated me this way. The wife you want is the me before I lost my memories,” Lyn exclaimed.
”It's true I want you to regain your memories, who doesn't?”
”You just hate the present me because I'm in love with Kazuya, right?”
At that comment, Lyn noticed that his expression had turned grim. Ah, she recalled Pupillam's expression the other day when they had that talk. But, Lyn wanted to say these words to Allen for a long time now. Lyn looked at his expression and saw a look of surprise - and guilt. It seems like she was right after all.
At that comment, she feels a familiar pair of arms wrap around her waist, ”Kazuya. .”
”Shut up... You're making my headache worse. Prince Allen, don't make me wallop you. I said nothing back then but since you guys just screamed it. Here's my input, do anything to her, and I'll kill you.”
He knew? He knew about it. How come he said nothing before? Why, why did he remain with her despite knowing? Why did he put up with so much of her selfishness? Her thoughts broke off when Rhys caressed her cheek, ”Your fiance is stupid, no wonder I'm actually winning.”
”Kazuya….”
It was then she saw a flash of pain appeared on Allen's face, ”You're correct, my cold behavior towards you lately is simply because of these stupid feelings of jealousy ”
