Chapter 267: You don’t have to worry about my bullies, Alice
"I’m serious," Alice said, a certain murderous intent leaking out of her eyes. "I’ll kill those bastards for you. So, just call a name or better still, point them out. I will rip them to shreds."
Alice looked scary. But why did it make his heart thump even more loudly in joy?
’Where have you been all my life?’ Nicholas wondered as he clenched his fists with his eyes growing teary. ’Why are you late?’
If she had been there, would the torture have ended sooner? Would he have been able to escape that hell in one piece before his heart and mind were torn to shreds?
Yes, maybe all that would’ve happened but then what? He would’ve remained the nobody he was. Weak and miserable.
He would return home and listen to his mother’s abuse, listen to her rant and cuss at him all night long.
He would’ve remained in a deeper pit.
So, maybe it was for the better that she was too late.
Ever since he awakened, his mother had gotten much ’saner’ and she did not throw abuses at him. She went around bragging about her son and how he was going to help to save humanity.
She was proud.
If Alice had come to his rescue, he would’ve never gotten any of this.
