My heart skipped a violent beat. I looked up in terror.
I saw gloom gathering between his brows as he asked slowly. “Do you really love lan that much?”
Somehow, I recalled lan’s first warnings to me, “My sister–in–law passed away not long ago. My brother cried so hard he
went blind.”
“This widower’s completely unhinged now. Better stay out of his way.”
My blood ran cold. I broke out in a cold sweat and urgently called out to the system, “System, help! Come deal with your
big bad already!”
The system sighed: [Sorry, you’re on your own now…]
Flustered, I tried to play dumb, “Haha, what are you talking about, Mr. Paulson?”
The system added quietly: [Oh, right. I canceled the voice–blocking spell on Kael now that your mission is done.]
“What?”
System: [That means… he can hear your real voice now.]
My heart sank completely.
