Chapter 145
Chapter XIII. Home
Psyche slowly lifted her heavy eyelids. Seeing the dim and quiet surroundings, it seemed night had fallen. She blinked hazily, then her shoulders flinched. Someone was firmly embracing her body from behind.
“Serdin……?”
Her voice was thick with drowsiness, having just woken up. She cleared her throat and called for Serdin once more. But no answer came.
An answer came only when the sleepiness completely faded and she realized that the scent emanating from the man was different from Serdin’s.
“I’m sorry. It’s not Serdin.”
Her body trembled violently. As soon as she recognized that the man was Rezus, a strong sense of rejection surged from deep in her chest.
“Get away, don’t touch my body so carelessly……!”
“Stay still, you’re cold.”
“Get out now! I don’t want this……!”
She struggled with all her might, but the more she did, the more strongly the man tightened his hold. Tears welled up in her huffing eyes. Normally she wouldn’t have been this emotional, but unfortunately, right now both her body and mind were abnormal due to the side effects before her ability manifestation.
“Serdin, where are you……! Serdin!”
Her voice, desperately calling only for Serdin, was pitiful. Grrk, Rezus gritted his molars.
“……I’m really sorry, but.”
At his voice, much lower than usual, her struggling stopped for a moment.
“No matter how much you scream, because of the barrier, that Serdin you’re looking for can neither hear nor come here. If you still want to scream, I won’t stop you. My ears will hurt a bit, but your throat will suffer more, don’t you think?”
“…….”
Only then did Psyche quiet down. Rezus was also silent, so all that lingered in the room was her irregular breathing and an uncomfortable silence. After a long time of just stillness, thin sounds of crying began to fill the bedroom.
“What is, hic, what is this again……. What are you doing to me…….”
She sobbed as if about to collapse, trying forcefully to remove the needle inserted in her left arm. But there was no way she could remove it with such feeble strength.
Moreover, Psyche was shaking severely as if having a seizure. That trembling was fully transmitted to Rezus, who was holding her.
He muttered a curse under his breath. When Psyche flinched, Rezus sighed and gently gripped both her wrists.
“Please, just stay still.”
Incredibly, his tone was almost pleading. Her movements stopped abruptly.
“You haven’t eaten anything all day. If you can’t eat food, you need to at least get nutrients through an IV.”
“…….”
“Do you know how thin you’ve become? Your skin will soon be clinging to your bones at this rate.”
Psyche seemed perplexed by his voice, which somehow sounded pained. Seizing the opportunity, Rezus carefully pulled her deeper into his embrace.
It was done hoping to calm her trembling even slightly, but rather than helping, it seemed to negatively stimulate her as her resistance intensified again.
“Let go! What are you here to do to me again……!”
“…….”
“Are you here to violate me again and force me to watch torture videos?”
“…….”
“You said you wouldn’t touch me if I revealed the secrets. Please just leave me alone now, please……, hic! I don’t want to see such things anymore, you evil……, urgh!”
Psyche, who had been pushing Rezus away almost convulsively, suddenly covered her mouth and repeatedly retched. Having eaten nothing, all that came out was thick saliva and acidic stomach fluid.
Rezus, who had been listening to her shouting with a rigid expression, urgently reached out to her. Patting her back as she curled up like a shrimp, he wiped the mess around her mouth with his thumb.
His touch was skillful, as if he had done this many times before. It was like gently soothing a child.
“Hnng, stop it!”
But before he could finish cleaning, he had to withdraw his hand. Psyche had fiercely pushed him away. Rezus reached toward her again.
“Don’t touch me……!”
Once more, slap! His hand was pushed away. The more Rezus acted kindly, the more Psyche felt chills. He was the vile bastard who had exploited her sympathy for Ruon to pressure her to betray Mathes, the trash who had told her she was just a woman for stress relief.
How much revulsion had she felt at his inhumane behavior? How terrified had she been?
In this moment, with her body and mind crumbling, all the negative emotions that had built up toward him burst forth uncontrollably.
“Horrible, horrible, don’t touch my body……!”
That’s when it happened. Rezus pinned her flailing wrists to the bed and exploded in a shout.
“Damn it, I promised I wouldn’t do anything if you just told the secrets!”
“Ah……!”
“Even if I’m trash, I keep my promises!”
