Chapter 161: Blind faith
"Yeah, something’s definitely wrong somewhere."
She trusted Leo. She trusted him so much that she would bet her life on him. But if she were to understand what just happened... Leaving Lilith’s warning aside... The only one who could control her body and leave her consciousness in the dark was... Leo, wasn’t it?
Her heart thumped. What was this?
She felt like her insides were being ripped to pieces.
*Alice, you...* He paused and she raised her head. *Are you okay?* He asked.
"Yeah, I... I’m fine. At least, that’s what I’d like to think." She coughed. ’Is it Leo? Would he do such a thing? I don’t know. I can’t tell right now. I... My mind is fuzzy.’ she gripped her head, shutting her eyes tight and trying to collect her thoughts.
*Alice,* Leo called one more time. *...do you remember that I can read your thoughts?* He asked and Alice furrowed her eyebrows.
"So you must understand that I’m conflicted right now, not knowing what’s right and what’s wrong, right?" She asked, which he seemed to understand and responded calmly.
*Yes, I understand that the situation is very tiring to your mind, and of course, you find me suspicious since I was the only one who could control your body and render your mind dormant. But... I told you before, didn’t I? I can’t control your body these days, even if I want to.*
Ah, yes, there was that too. Leo had not been able to take control of her body, even if he wanted to. So, he could not have been the one that turned her into a maniac in seconds.
*So, there’s no way I would’ve controlled you.* He continued. *And just think of it, why would I? You already have it handled and it’s not like I made you do something you wouldn’t already do. Think it over before you doubt me, please.*
