Odette limped while holding on to Rion's arm, and, once again, they became the center of attention. Everyone kept wondering about Rion's figure.
"Walk quickly," Rion said flatly.
"My leg hurts," Odette snapped.
"I told you, I can just carry you so we can leave faster and less troublesome like this." Rion actually wanted to carry Odette, but the woman refused firmly. She was embarrassed to be the center of everyone's attention.
It made Rion disappointed and it spoiled his mood. Rion deliberately took wide steps so that Odette had trouble following him. He wanted her to give up and ask him to carry her, but it didn't happen.
The woman persisted until they met Zen, who was already in the room, where Daniel was being treated. Zen, who saw them coming, immediately stood up from his seat and greeted Rion politely.
Rion stepped closer to Zen, and gently held the boy's head. Behind his mask, he smiled.
"I'm proud of you," he complimented, which made Zen very happy.
