Chapter 677 - What Magic Is This? (1/2)

Surprisingly L did not turn around even until five minutes after London had confessed his sin. The man's c.h.e.s.t palpitated. Was this because L was so angry that she needed time to calm down before venting her wrath?

”L ... please say something...” said London in a piteous voice. He touched L's shoulder with trembling hands.

”Eh?” L immediately turned her head and looked at London with rounded eyes. ”Why aren't you sleeping? Didn't you have a headache?”

L's soft and attentive voice made London's heart struck by great fear. Did L deliberately act nicely toward him before unleashing her wrath like the calm before the storm?

The calmer the atmosphere, the more terrible the storm will be.

”I ...” London swallowed hard.

L hurriedly placed her wine glass on the table beside her chair and stood up. She touched London's forehead and checked his temperature.

”Are you sick?” asked the girl. ”Can't sleep? Hm ... you don't have a fever ... but your face looks very pale ...”

She c.a.r.e.s.sed London's face and stroked his hair attentively.

London didn't understand what magic was this...

”I can't sleep. I thought about everything carefully and, finally, I realized that I ...” London was in the middle of his words when L suddenly pulled his hand to walk back toward his room.

”You must not be sick for long. I need your help to take care of Lily and this house ...” L murmured. As soon as they arrived in London's bedroom, she pushed the man's body onto the bed and pressed his c.h.e.s.t with her tiny hand. ”You wait here. I'll get the medicine that Doctor Alice gave me. It is very effective for headaches.”

How strange ... very strange ... thought London. He did not understand what had just happened. Why isn't L mad at him?

Was L teaching him a lesson?

London still wondered and couldn't answer his own question, when L returned to his room with a pill and a glass of water.

”Drink ...” L said firmly while sitting on the edge of the bed. London was about to refuse because he was actually not sick. But seeing the serious look on L's face, he could not object.

Finally, he took the pill and handed the glass back to L.

”L.. I want to...” London stopped mid-sentence as L looked at him with a frown.

”What did you say?” She said. And suddenly, as if aware of something, the girl sighed.

”What's wrong?” Now it was London's turn to be confused.

”Ahh ... I forgot I was still listening to music,” the girl said. She pulled her beautiful loose hair to the back of her ears and took out small wireless earphones from her ears. She put the two earphones in her pocket then looked at London deeply. ”What did you say? The medicine was bitter? Sorry, well, all drugs are bitter. If you are sick, you have to take it. Hmm ... by the way, I had never seen you sick before...”

”I'm not sick,” said London in a choked voice. He just realized that apparently, L did not hear any of his confessions.

That's why the girl was not angry at all.
