Chapter 12
When Raymond came back, he saw the light was on in Danae’s room. Did she still angry with me?
Was it because she still remembered what happened during the day?
When he entered the room, he saw Susan was wiping Danae’s body. Susan dazed and said：
“Sir, her fever has subsided.”
Raymond’s pupils were covered with a layer of shadow. Susan was always cautious in doing things. Presumably, the phone call was stopped by someone.
“Go to rest.”
“Yes, sir.”
Susan put down her towel and left the room.
… …
Danae felt the cool breath across her skin. In a daze, she opened her eyes. Under the dim light, it was the familiar person who was wiping her body gently.
She moved her lips, but what came to her mind was the first time she saw him.
Prison, the scene where her sinful father begged him.
She suddenly stretched out her hand and tugged at his sleeve. The breathing close to him became more and more urgent. Raymond heard her voice of anger, with hatred he never seen before －－
“Why didn’t you save my father… why!”
It was him who sent her father to prison, and it was him who sentenced her father to death!
She knew all the things and always knew it.
“Why…”
Danae seemed to have used up all her strength. The finger tugging at his sleeve was slightly loosened. Her whole body was in pain. She slowly closed her eyes with tears and leaned against the man’s arms. Her mouth whispered the three words and her voice became weaker and weaker.
The girl in his arms woke up confused and fell asleep again. Raymond bowed his head and kissed her sweaty forehead. She hated him.
He smiled ruthless. She hated him, but she could not leave him.
That’s good.
Danae woke up with hunger. She had a high fever all night. When she woke up, she had a severe headache, but finally sober.
Last night, she seemed to be confused with fever.
“You wake up.”
The voice of a man came from her ear, with a low voice. She saw the man sleeping beside her.
He …
Although she had no impression last night, she vaguely remembered that Susan called him, but he was busy.
She moved her lips and wanted to say something, but she felt her throat was dry and coughed softly.
“Rest at home today.”
“… but there is a monthly exam.”
She didn’t want to miss the exam.
Raymond’s thin lips slowly closed to the girl’s face and fell on her crimson lip. A gentle kiss with invisible temptation.
“I will stay at home with you today.”
He said so, what else could she say?
She nodded and wanted to get out of bed to change clothes. After all, she looked like a bad girl without any clothes.
However, before her steps fell to the ground, she was shackled in his arms again. His warm palm was attached to her waist. The cool and thin lips gently bit her earlobe. Danae trembled and felt the stroke slowly moving up from her waist.
In the end, it fell on her softness.
“…”
She grabbed her lip. His fingers creep down her body, as if they were intentional, knowing all her sensitivity.
“You asked me one thing last night.”
She felt Raymond’s breath clinging to her back neck and coming faintly.
Did she say anything last night?Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“You asked me,” the man’s knuckled fingers lifted her jaw and looked at her. She could only see him in her eyes at the moment.
“Why didn’t I save your father?”
He hooked a chuckle and saw confusion in girl’s eyes. He liked that… She was afraid but could not escape, like a pet in his palm. Even if she was afraid, she could only hide weakly in his arms.
Danae would never think about the past when she was awake, and naturally she would not… think about those who had passed away.
But she didn’t want to, didn’t mean she could forget. Subconsciously, it existed and even eroded her heart more and more horribly.
“I…”
“Shh.”
The warm fingers were attached to her lips that she wanted to speak. His voice was dark and hoarse, and he was awe－inspiring：
“I didn’t save him, because…”
She looked into Raymond’s eyes and listened to every word he said, so clear but cold－
“He deserved to die.”
I didn’t save him because－he deserved to die.
Her fingers were uncontrollably embedded in the palm. She felt really cold.
Yes, Raymond was right.
Aron, he really deserved it. Because he has sinned, because he has desires and greed, he deserved it.
However, Aron’s desire and greed just wanted his critically ill wife to have money to treat and his innocent and poor daughter to have a beautiful family like a normal child.
But all of these, for Danae, didn’t exist anymore.
