Chapter 269: Guilt
Jules’ pov
I stared down at Blaze’s arms while worry flood through every inch of my insides. When I reached out and gently nudged his discolored skin, he winced a little and I pulled my hand away while regarding him worriedly.
"What are we gonna do?" I asked quietly and he sighed softly.
The entire thing my father said about his arm rushed into my mind once and I began to panic, eyes widening as I shifted closer to him on the bed.
"There’s something I can do, right?" I said after a few moments and he sighed again before his eyes dragged over his swollen arms.
"Stop worrying so much, it doesn’t hurt a lot." He told me but I didn’t believe him. As I stared pointedly at his arm, I ended up jumping off the bed and heading into the kitchen in order to get some ice there.
Roy was in there, standing in front of the fridge, but it was clear that he was already lost in thoughts. I instantly felt guilty because I knew he was still thinking about Kim, we all are. I couldn’t bring myself to tell him about the conversation my father had with me concerning me killing Kim.
"You alright?" He asked as soon as he noticed my presence and I stiffened a little before clearing my throat.
"I- I’m okay. What about you?" I asked him and he shrugged a little, stepping away from the fridge for me.
"Doing fine." He ended up resting as I got the fridge open and got some ice out.
After my father finished having a long ass conversation with me, he ended up opening a large door and telling me that I was free to leave, but this was only after I convinced him that I’d think about betraying Blaze for him, just to save my own life.
Once at the opened doorway, I turned around and directed a blast of magic at him, one which ended up evaporating into thin air before it could touch him. That instantly made him snicker as he regarded me from across the room.
