Chapter 131: Arm-Pillow
Since the first day of meeting him, Zenith was aware of Kylian’s sharp observation, which he might’ve underestimated while spending such a soothing moment with him inside his room.
Quickly he retrieved back his senses, and realizing he might’ve sounded too confident which caught into Kylian’s suspicion, Zenith tossed a clumsy smile, "How would I meet your mother without your help, sweetie? I have just talked to her on the phone once, but it’s just my gut feeling, that she will always love you no matter what you have become. I am sure of that!"
Though Zenith’s clumsy answer dissipated the skeptical thought inside his mind, Kylian couldn’t stop himself from forming a grim expression. His brows furrowed a bit deep, and lifting his gaze down, he murmured in his mind.
’You are wrong about it, Zenith. Mom never wanted me to transition into an omega in the first place. Now that I have heard from her, even if she faked a smile to hide her sadness, my heart will break every time I look at her. This is my painful reality, but I am just so lost and confused about my future now. How am I supposed to meet her eyes bravely as I did before?’
Watching him fall into a small intense silence, Zenith panicked internally a little, pondering if Kylian had actually found his answer too skeptical to believe! Thus to divert his attention, he put on another clumsy act, "Oww, it hurts again!"
"Huh?" As if his idea worked, Kylian hurriedly grabbed onto his bandaged arm and tried checking if he was bleeding again, "Where does your hand hurt? Does it sting anywhere? Did I wrap the bandage too tight?"
"No, I am hurt...here." Holding a cryptic smirk on his soft lips, Zenith pointed his finger towards his heart over his bare chest while pouting at Kylian, "I am hurt here inside...because you keep ignoring this handsome guy next to you and keep thinking of something else. This is very unhealthy for my heart now."
"Goodness, stop scaring me with your silly tactics!" However, Kylian smacked gently on Zenith’s arm while scolding him, walking away from the bed to put that first-aid box inside a small storage box. While doing so, a tiny smile arched his lips when he mumbled to Zenith, "But...thanks."
"Huh? For what?"
