Chapter 148: Brother-in-law
"And I love you cuz. I never say it, but I do. You’re an annoying brute, and you seem to always get on my nerves, but there’s a good side of you, there’s a side of you which wouldn’t care to risk his life trying to protect the ones he loves the most. I don’t know if we’d ever have the chance to do this, but I just want to let you know. I wish I could let my mum know too. I wish... I could let Dora know. I wish I had."
With they, the three got up and hugged each other, and Liliana finally left the gathering, running off somewhere on her own, wiping her hand across her face.
Nancy noticed Raiden’s reluctancy- the debate battling within himself to go or stay, and with those words uttered to him, he moved.
"Go after her." She said.
And he left, just like she had ordered, he left to go find her.
Talia turned to Jephthah, about to say something when Cardin slightly held her hand, and pulled her up with him.
"Lya, can we talk," his eyes were buried deep in hers, and his pupils shifted to the far end as he added. "Alone."
"Oh... Um... " She turned to Jephthah who just stood there, and turned the other way like he didn’t just see them, and she turned back to Cardin and said, loud enough for him to hear as well .
"Sure. Let’s go."
Royce and Nancy exchanged glances, being the only two who had seen the whole ordeal.
They both got up and barged ln between them.
