Chapter 435 - Web Of Lies Part 7 (1/2)

*UNEDITED*

If she could do that then he would --- ” Your asking too much of her.”

After the girl said those words she stood up and grabbed her jacket from the rail, ” I won. I'll be leaving for work today.”

”....showing of?”

”Perhaps. You ought to hurry and recover soon too. It's not going to be a challenge so otherwise,” Beth mumbled.

Both of them knew that she didn't care about the bet at all. This is her way of wishing him to get better.

Rhys waves his hand and the girl quickly left - the second she did he slouched to one side. He heard her loud and clearly despite her moving the final piece so loudly as if to block out her own words. Asking too much of her huh? Perhaps he was.

Whenever Rhys closed his eyes he could see her bright smile and feel the warmth she emits. He could see everything of her and she truly is beautiful. Exactly like a jewel, no even more so. A beauty that would transcend even the heavens. On top of that she's strong, courageous. However he knew what Beth was trying to say.

Lyn is still a normal girl, despite being strong. Yeah, he was aware of that being the case. That's why as much as possible, as much as possible he wished to protect those every days of hers for awhile longer. But he recalls the scars he saw on her that time she came out to see him on the deck. It seems like it's already too late for something like that.

If he closed his eyes.

She's going to remain pure and untainted no matter what he does to her.

But if he opened them, then he has to face the reality his actions have caused.

Today when she got back home from work tonight. She tried living without using her right hand. Lots of normal things like going shopping at the convenience store, cooking, going to the bathroom or taking a bath and writing anything proved to be rather difficult.

Lyn already had previous hand injuries due to her brothers beating. But never once had it become too difficult for her to use her right hand.

Kazuya's injury on the other hand is completely different matter. In contrast to hers that is.

Lyn slumps on her bed and raised her right hand up.

She only had one person occupying her thoughts. Kazuya say that it's nothing so easily like that. But living without his dominant hand is easier said then done, there's so many things you can't do....like drawing and painting.

Ah ---! That's right, the assignment they were assigned to do. She wonders if...he's managing to do it. If he can't even do those basic living things then he's surely having a hard time with the assignment. When they went shopping together, he insisted it was still alright for him to carry the bags.

Lyn however could see he was struggling quite a bit.

Kazuya, he doesn't have to say anything for her to understand... You've always been rather readable that way after all.

Readable huh.... Rhys came to mind and she deeply sighed. Three more hours than she ought to visit him. Lila felt slightly nervous now though. Rhys already knows the truth about her visiting him. But he is waiting until she admits it. How could she possibly do something like admitting it now of all times? After everything that has happened?

Then again, if she doesn't say anything. Rhys will eventually say so won't he?

He's always been readable, even when they were having a serious conversation. She somewhat knew that it would turn out that way with the two of them joking around naturally. Thinking about it now it was somewhat embarrassing, who would have thought that the day would come that they'd be able to speak with each other properly about it. Back then Lyn thought it was completely over.

She didn't think the situation could change. Rhys has others who cared about me. It'll be fine, she doesn't have to worry about him anymore. Yet that didn't stop her from sending him presents every year regardless. Perhaps it was already obvious then, that she didn't want him to forget her. That conversation....

She wondered and wondered - she kept on wondering whether or not it was okay. Whether or not it was okay to discuss it with Kazuya and if she discusses it with him, she wondered what he would say.

Would Kazuya break up with her because of it?
