Chapter 255: Get Her Out Of Here
Madeline didn’t bother to hide her astonishment, and she rose to her feet. "How is it Abbot?" Her confusion was laced in her tone, her brows knitting into a subtle frown, and she needed someone to explain exactly what happened while she was unconscious.
"But Abbot is still human. If he’s possessed by this Eki.. whatever, shouldn’t it be obvious?" Cassian was also at a loss for words, but Osvaldo seemed sure of what he was saying, because his reaction remained totally unfazed. It looked more like he expected their doubts and was prepared to prove his assumptions right.
"This Abbot, take me to him." He requested without explaining further.
Madeline gazed at Osvaldo as Cassian took him out of the library, still finding something amiss, but she wasn’t entirely sure herself what it was. Refusing to be left behind, Madeline’s footsteps quickened as she followed the both of them, but she stayed behind in case something unexpected happened.
Cassian led Osvaldo to the back of the house, where he kept Abbot tied up in an empty room. Opening the door, he stepped in and found Abbot still seated on the chair, tied. He was about dozing off when he heard the door creak open, and his eyes widened when Cassian stepped inside with Madeline and Osvaldo.
"Like having your sister here wasn’t already enough?? Why do you bring this degradable witch in my presence?" Abbot didn’t hesitate to lash out at Cassian who’s eyes darkened visibly, but he said nothing, leaving Abbot slightly baffled since Cassian was always someone who wouldn’t hesitate to give a retort.
"Are you deaf?"
Ignoring the raging Abbot, he turned to look at Osvaldo, not finding anything different in his behavior. "See? He’s still stupid."
"You’re Abbot?" Osvaldo asked the tied-up man who eyed him suspiciously from head to toe. "And who are you?"
