For some reason, he felt a deep sense of pity for Alice. Perhaps it was because of her beauty, as pure as a narcissus, and the fact that she had endured a tragic childhood, yet still maintained her fragile strength.
Alice silently took the test tubes before her. At Haru’s words, her fingers trembled slightly.
She seemed to remember Haru comparing her and Aoko to a good child and a naughty child. His current actions, weren’t they similar to a parent rewarding a good child with candy?
Only, the candy was a thousand-year-old mysterious fairy tale familiar.
Alice shook her head slightly, dispelling the chaotic thoughts in her mind. She turned her head and looked at the smiling Haru beside her. A hint of warmth flashed in her black, pearl-like eyes. Vaguely, she saw the figure of a gentle man in his face.
Alice’s gaze went blank.
"Hey? What’s wrong, are you sick? The maid outfit I gave you this morning should be the warmest, right?"
Haru reached out and touched the young woman’s smooth forehead, a look of confusion on his face. "Your temperature is normal!"
The warm hand on her forehead instantly jolted Alice awake. She quickly lifted her slender arm, intending to swat it away.
But the moment she touched his hand, the force of her blow softened, changing from a swat to a grasp. She held his wrist, a hint of reluctance to let him go in her grip.
