Chapter 356 - Intentions (1/2)

The atmosphere was clearly tense, but Lyn didn't seem to notice. Or maybe she was deliberately ignorant. Either way, Lyn rushed over to him. ”B—r-” he stopped her in mid-sentence, and she corrected herself. ”Husband.”

At that comment, he noticed the boyfriend guy flinch, and he chuckled. ”As you can see, my wife is here now, so..”

The medics understood and quickly left the room. Lyn sighed, ”Brother, what were you thinking? It's not like you to have your guard down.”

”Indeed.”

Zepher did not understand it himself. If it were the past him, he would have smelled that trap a long time ago. But, the current him? The others have the right to be worried; he is acting strangely. But he can't help it; whenever it comes to Lyn, he ends up being irrational. It was the same back then too. His memories of what happened that day in the church were a blur. Zepher didn't understand how he ended up in a church.

He knew though that before all that, he was hunting down the people after Lyn. They knocked him out, and when he woke up, he was in the church. He did strike somebody, though, so it was natural that he had blood in his hands… The guy he fought with was amongst those dead bodies in the church. So, it looked like he was the one who did it.

Lyn was carefully examining the wound, and light emerged from her fingertips. His eyes widened in alarm, realizing, ”Wait Lyn..”

”It's okay, he knows.”

Zepher frowned at this comment, this boyfriend she trusts him that much?

”Lyn,” Kazuya called out. ”I'll call Rhys; he can help.”

”Ah-huh, please do.”

With those words said, the guy quickly left the room. Zepher said nothing, but Lyn did, ”That was Kazuya, my boyfriend.”

”Are you trying to anger me?”

”You have to acknowledge him because he's the genuine boyfriend.”

His eyes twitched in annoyance; this girl is doing it deliberately, isn't she?

”You care about him that much?”

”I do.”

”When you said you were sick…”

Lyn sighed, ”Brother, you can't expect me not to see him. You saw how bad my health was getting if I didn't see him anytime soon. It would be more problematic for you.”

So, the reason why she was acting up was because of this guy? It was hard for Zepher to believe. Lyn's health deteriorated because she missed this guy so badly. Still, planning something like this. A dark aura surrounded him, and Himuro immediately kneeled down. Lyn does the same.

”So, all of that was an act, huh? You two have a lot of guts; it seems even though you promised me, Lyn, before we left. If you saw someone you knew you'd tell me right away. And Himuro, how dare you give me a false report? You were supposed to tell me everything happening with Lyn. As her guard, you shouldn't let anybody outside our circle approach her. I wonder what punishment I should give you two.”

Himuro looked absolutely terrified, but Lyn wasn't like him.
