Chapter 439 - Mysterious Jade Part 3 (2/2)
”I understand... Rhys..” Lyn mumbled weakly.
”Relax, I'll finish up soon.”
....
When Lyn woke up, she hears two people talking in hushed voices. ”She's sleeping, yeah I finished.”
”You didn't do anything else, right? Lyn is underage Rhys; you can't..”
”Says the one who slept with her.”
”...”
Rhys sighed, ”I'm not going to fight with you over a girl Kazuya. Let's not be stupid. They already sent that dammed woman over, let's think what our next steps will be.”
”Hey, you say that, but I know you care a lot about her.”
”Yeah I do, she's different.”
'Different?' Lyn still felt very weak, but she knew who those voices belonged to. She wonders exactly what Rhys liked about her. Lyn already knew why Kazuya fell for her, but Rhys? It still didn't make much sense to her.
”Did you find it?” Kazuya asked.
”Unfortunately no, we turned the place upside down, but it wasn't there. I guess somebody tipped us both of.”
”Let's re-confirm it with Zepher. He went to the third location.”
”Do we have to work with that man?” Rhys grunted. ”He's only doing it to get ahead of us.”
Lyn blinked when she hears those words. Working with Zepher? Both Kazuya and Rhys are? She wanted to listen more, but her throat felt itchy, so Lyn started coughing. This earned their attention since the sliding doors opened. Rhys walked over to her and brushed his hands across her forehead.
”You okay to talk?” Rhys was the first one to speak up.
”Ah, hurts a bit,” Lyn mumbled.
Rhys nodded, ”Yeah, the side effects aren't good. Kazuya, get her some wat-” Rhys sentence fell short when Kazuya passed a cup of water. ”Hey, why do you have that prepared?”
”I've already given you chances.”
”Huh, then suit yourself,” Rhys brushed his lips against her ear. ”Kazuya wants to see how close we are now.”
”Don't get so close!” Lyn exclaimed, but it leads to her coughing more.
She felt Rhys arms on her back as he patted slowly, ”Easy there, don't get worked up.”
It's his fault she got worked up, though. Then again, why does she get so worked up when it comes to him? Lyn accepted the glass from Kazuya and took a large sip from the water. It tasted terrible for some reason, and she immediately pushed it away.
Rhys cupped her cheeks, ”It tasted bad, right? It will take some time for your taste buds to return. You still look quite pale too; get some more rest, Lyn.”
She didn't want to go back to sleep after experiencing that nightmare, though. Kazuya quickly interjected, ”We ought to keep Lyn updated. It isn't good to leave her out.”
At that comment, Rhys frowned, but he nodded, ”It's true, we should let you know. Where to start?”
