Chapter 33: The Boy and the Girl Meet Again (3)
‘The big brother's arms are so warm. It feels like dad's arms.' Cherie, who was lying in Ulysses's arms and feeling his body temperature, felt like she was in her father's arms for some reason. Because of the sense of security of lying in Ulysses's arms, and the crying just now consumed her too much energy, she unexpectedly fell asleep in Ulysses's arms.
"Hey! Hey! Wake up! What do you want me to do if you fall asleep!" Looking at Cherie who was sleeping in his arms, Ulysses didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. Was she not afraid that he would sell her?! Even if he was her savior. She shouldn't trust him so unreservedly! This appearance showed that she was not at all defensive against him. What did Aya leave her that made her feel so fond of him? No, this kind of unreserved trust in him could no longer be described by fondness, it should be said to be "admiration".
"But a child is a child. It is sometimes enviable to be able to express their feelings so frankly." After returning to his room and putting Cherie on the bed, Ulysses let out a sigh. For an adult like him, wanting to cry had become a very extravagant thing. Ulysses thought despite that he had just turned eighteen.
"Aya, she has fallen asleep. There is no one around, so explain to me what is going on!" Ulysses could not wait to start calling Aya, he really was really confused by Cherie's thing.
"Okay, okay." A purple light flashed. Aya's figure appeared in mid-air.
"What did you leave her? Why did she become so, so..." After thinking for a long time, Ulysses couldn't find a suitable word to describe Cherie's unusually intimate attitude towards him.
"I only left her a comforting note and an amethyst bracelet. It's you, master, who threw a poor little girl like her on the street full of blood. Don't you think it is too much?" Aya interrupted Ulysses unceremoniously.
"Uh..." Ulysses didn't know what to say for a while. Indeed, he only cared about Rasputin who had not been healed at the time, and did not pay attention to Cherie who had been cured by him. To him, Cherie would naturally walk back to her home not far away when she woke up. But he seemed to overestimate a little girl's ability to withstand this kind of thing. Cherie said that she was almost scared to death by the blood and corpse after she woke up. From this, there was nothing wrong with Aya's way of leaving a comforting note to her. But why did he always feel that something was wrong?
"Then what did you write on the note you gave her? And, why did you have to give her an amethyst bracelet that looks exactly like the one you turn into? Can't you give her something else?" Ulysses said.
