There was a complete silence between them. 'Nine' just stared at her with his straight face. She did not respond and remained silent while looking down at her feet. She didn't want to make an eye contact with him.
Attacking one's body doesn't mean much since it may heal over time by recuperating, as for emotionally. She was already aware of that feeling because she had already been through it. She has already suffered from depression. Even though everyone has the same fate and the end was death, but she will never accept the reason why her brother Shawn died. He died and did not get any justice for what that inhuman did. Brother Shawn and Brother Daryl lost their lives because of same woman, Deneza.
Everything will be fine and she won't become like this if only Deneza was sent to prison, but that's not the case!
It's true, attacking one emotion can break their soul since emotion can be considered the most pillar of everyone's life.
Anybody can live without one of their limbs or without one of their senses of human body. But if a person's emotion collapses, he or she will not be able to live or may end up trying to kill himself or herself. If somebody loses their mind, they're just like a doll without soul. They may lose their reasoning or motivation to push on.
That must be the most cruel move. If someone asks them, nobody would rather go after them emotionally.
She looked at 'Nine' who was also looking at her without emotion on his face. Both of them were having an eye contact but no one tried to break the silence between them.
Leilanie always felt troubled every time he stared at her with that kind of expression. His gaze was so familiar, but so distant. She didn't know exactly what it was, but she felt a familiarity with that gaze of his.
After a long silence, 'Nine' finally broke the silence with his magnetic and powerful voice with a tinge of coldness in it, "Leilanie, I ask you to scram."
Her body stiffen when she saw how his cold gaze turned into something like he wanted to kill someone? Her heart trembled as she felt a chill down to her spine.
He added, "I'm tired of babysitting you. You keep making a scene without thinking about the consequences. Do you know? Without my intervention, you might have died many times by now." His voice was as calm and as clear as water, Whoever knows him, would knows how angry he was at the moment.
Leilanie looks unconsciously downwards to avoid his gaze. This is the first time she has seen him express himself in this manner. She was used in his coldness, aloofness, indifference and care free, but not with the intention of killing expression. The expression he was currently making now. It's true he never come to find her without reason such as this, but she can meet him. She forgot something very important.
"I forgot how many times you did something as ridiculous as this just to hurt Deneza, but I ask you, did you succeed?" He said and walked slowly to the place where she stood and stops before her.
It's true, Deneza hasn't done anything to hurt her yet because if that were the case, He may not be able to protect Shawn's younger sister, Leilanie since he had no connections with powerful personalities in underground except Shawn. He may have known someone, but he didn't want to owe that person. For these years, all he can do is clean up all the mess and remove all the trails that Leilanie had left behind. Thinking about what she did this time giving him a severe headache. If someone asks him, he would rather not stay in underground for long, but since he became the famous 'Youngest Underground Physician' it would be hard for him to wash his hand to to clean it up and forget everything. Once you step in the underground it would be hard to get out.
Between him and her, Leilanie never gone deep inside the underground because he stopped her from the very moment he saw the resemblance with Shawn in her. She has no idea what the internal rules are, nor does she need to know.
He lifted his hand and touched her chin to make him lift her head to look at his sharp eyes and said with a chill tone, "When I ask you to scram, I didn't mean to scram here, what I mean was to scram out of this country."
Leilanie was staring at his grayish eyes. He truly looks scary right now. "I..." Her mouth was unable to utter any words.
'Nine' look at her without emotion as he takes his hand off her chin and turns around towards the table to get his stuff and says, "I'm going now. I won't bother you anymore. I think I've taken care of you enough already."
She may not have known the inside rules but she knew the general rules in underground. Without someone's protection from the underground, you will only become nothing but a prey waiting to be slaughtered.
Her heart was beating so fast, it was the first time she felt so frightened of him. He really gave her a fright as her heart keep beating so fast and hard.
She knew he was serious about this. He really want to severe ties with her! However, what can she do? He's just looking out for her because of her brother Shawn. She's getting daring because someone's has been protecting her all this time. She forgot about it because of her hate growing in her heart.
She was only pulled out of her own thoughts when she heard him chuckled as he said, "Why is your face so serious? Anyway, I meant what I said. I want to sever my ties with you. Don't come back to the underground world because I'm not going to backing up you anymore. As I said, scram out of this country, Live a happy life with your parents overseas."
She looked at him as soon as she heard what he said and ask, "How do you know?"
'Nine' paused for what he was doing, and after a while he started pulling the needle out of Deneza's hand and said, "Of course, I background check on you the moment you sneak around at 'that' place. Well, you resemble Shawn so much. I only helped you because you're his sister, Well, you might as well says I know everything about your Carreon Family"
He even knows Shawn's twin brother, Daryl Carreon Once he thinks about this man, he has mixed feelings that weigh on his heart. He kind of respecting him. Protecting someone dear to you considering your own safety was only in the novels or movies you can find.
"That's creepy" She said softly.
After he was done tidying his stuff. He turned around and walks towards where the door is while saying, "This is the last time I'm going to clean up your mess. But after this, remember to scram out of this country. I don't care where you want to go, much better as far away from her."
When he reached the door, he turned around and looked at the woman who was asleep peacefully before looking at Leilanie who was in a daze and said, "Farewell."
