Chapter 216 – Growing Doubt #2

Lying on the bed in the recovery room, I looked at Adele, who was burying her face in my chest.
When she got out of the Grand Canyon and saw her Sylvia’s condition, she wept until she reached her lab.
Now, perhaps exhausted from crying, he was sleeping very soundly with his swollen eyes closed.

“I find that whenever Adele cries, she becomes solemn. I’ve seen it a lot so far… I’m sorry every time. Even when you haven’t done anything wrong.”

These were the words of Sylvia, who was lying on the bed next to her after her treatment.
I quietly sympathized.

“Right. I cry so sadly.”

“Is not it? But why is there no one in the lab?”

“The doctor said he went to France… Saehwa and Yuria must be resting after going back. How are you?”

“It’s okay. The wound doesn’t hurt anymore… To be honest, I ignored how good it would be because it was a medical device, but it far exceeded my expectations. How are you?”

“I am the same as Sylvia. Her wounds are all healed, and there are no scars…”

As we were chatting around, Adele turned over her body and kicked the blanket over her, placing one of her legs on my stomach.
It was a cute toss and turns. Enough to make me laugh out loud.
I caught the blanket that was about to fall off her and covered Adele’s body and looked at Sylvia.

“Aren’t you sad?”

“What?”

“Adele doesn’t go to Sylvia, she comes to me.”

“What are you saying… You were going to come to me, but you moved it by force.”

“What kind of conspiracy theory is that? Adele came to me obviously voluntarily. There was no hesitation.”

“No it’s not?”

“That’s right.”

We insisted that what I said was right and had a childish bickering, but at some point we burst into small laughter and went silent.
Sylvia, who was smiling at her pleasantly, was unconsciously touching the back of her neck.
It looks like the kiss mark I made last time is getting caught… Her scar remains.
Because she didn’t get treatment there.
So do your best not to get caught. Either cover it up with her long hair until she’s gone.
A woman’s feelings for a man are frightening, so she’ll have to work hard these days to hide them.

“Jihyuk.”

Sylvia called me with a shy tone.
I, who was patting Adele’s chubby cheek, answered.

“Yes?”

“Are you… That… Charging?”

“What? Adele’s device?”

“Yes…”

“It should be. It must have used a lot of energy to annihilate all the demons and monsters in the Grand Canyon. But please don’t interfere with us again…”

“I have no intention of doing that… Just tell me how to charge it.”

Sylvia had experienced orgasmic pleasure for the first time in her life.
That’s why i’m curious How high is the level of skinship with Adele, and how does it feel?
But, no matter how comfortable she is with me, isn’t it rude to openly ask her about men and women?
With an absurd expression on my face, I shot at Sylvia.

“Do you think I will tell you? Why are you asking such a sensitive question?”

“Well, you’re just curious… It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me. Now let’s be quiet and rest. Adele will wake up.”

“Yes.”

I carefully straightened Adele’s loose blond hair.
Then, as she rolled her body into a circle, she sighed and talked in her sleep and clung even closer to me.
Sylvia looked at us with strange eyes and murmured.

“…The eyes look cold.”

You’re too clumsy to express your emotions.
She used to say that if you’re envious, you’re envious.

Back in Uijeongbu, Adele didn’t want to be away from Sylvia even for a moment.
She tried to be with her no matter what, and she still is.
She was watching TV and she was fiddling with her cell phone with her head on Sylvia’s lap.

Sylvia noticed that Adele was texting with Jihyeok.
Something felt strange. Jihyeok was worried.
From the time she suffered together in the Grand Canyon, to the time when Adele drove away her demons and cried out loud over her and Ji-hyeok’s condition, she showed the two of them in the recovery room… They all caught her eyes. .

And … She vividly recalled the pleasure she felt, and her face turned red.
Pretending to watch her TV, she glanced at her Adele, and called Adele to get rid of her flustered feelings.

“Adele.”

“Yes?”

I can feel her guilt when I look at Adele’s smiling face as she lowers her cell phone.
Why did you ask for such an experiment? For what the hell?
If nothing had happened with Jihyeok, I wouldn’t be in this uncomfortable position right now… I really feel like an idiot.
Sylvia hid an awkward smile and said.

“You did that on your way back. She met Saehwa and Yuria and simply had a beer.”

“Right.”

“How was Yuria? Are you a good friend?”

“I really liked her personality because she was similar to her sister. Sehwa was still the best. The one remaining hero will also have a good personality, right?”

Because she’s the only one left… She’s a beast slayer who uses a whip, but I don’t know where or what she’s doing.

“It will.”

“Doctor, Sehwa, Yuria unnie, and even Sylvia unnie… You don’t know how good it is to have good colleagues by my side. And…”

Adele blurted out her words.
Sylvia could have guessed whose name would come out of Adele’s mouth.

“Jihyeok?”

“Yes! I didn’t know the feeling of love until I met Jihyeok. But now I know for sure.”

“I see…”

“I hope my sister will feel this feeling as soon as possible. She wants to have a discussion too.”

“I… Just… Well… My device hasn’t even been created yet, so I’ll think about it slowly…”

After her words, Sylvia involuntarily took her hand to the back of her neck.
Seeing her like that, Adele tilts her head.

“Sister, why do you keep touching her back neck?”

“Yes? Did I?”

“Yes, even when Mr. Ji-hyeok took me there, he touched my neck in the back seat… Did the wound heal less?”

Come to think of it, Jihyeok didn’t treat the back of his neck…
Are you trying to trick yourself?
No, Jihyeok is mischievous, but he’s not a bad boy enough to play pranks like this. I would have made a mistake just because I was in a difficult state.
Tomorrow I will listen to Jihyeok on how to use the medical device and try to get rid of it myself.
After finishing her thoughts, Sylvia smiled softly.

“The wound healed well. I’m just tired…”

“Ah…”

“Can I go in and sleep? Sleepy.”

Sylvia, who tried hard to pretend to be calm, wriggled her whole body.
Then Adele took her head from her lap and slowly raised her torso.

“Shall we sleep together after a long time?”

“No. You’re going to chat with Jihyeok. You might not be able to sleep because of the light.”

“Is that so…? I know. Aren’t you going to eat?”

“Yes. When I wake up, I’ll take care of myself. Am I going in?”

Sylvia got up from her seat, tousled Adele’s hair, and quickly went into her own room.

Adele was very worried about Sylvia.
The way she subtly avoids eye contact, and the way she always wears her hair tied up in her house but leaves it undone…
She just looked it up on the internet, and she said that when people can’t keep their eyes shut, they feel uncomfortable or anxious.
It must have been more difficult than I imagined at the Grand Canyon.

Adele, who was chatting with Jihyeok as she touched her fox necklace around her own neck, lifted her citrus-scented candle as she thought Sylvia was asleep.
She was to put it in her room.
Adele lit her scented candle, and she moved quietly, not even making a sound of her footsteps, and she opened Sylvia’s door very carefully.

A door that doesn’t even make a creaking sound. I felt like I could have a perfect infiltration.
Sylvia was lying on her side, sleeping as quietly as her mouse.
Adele, thinking that she should buy her chocolate mousse cake for her to eat when she wakes up, went inside and put a scented candle on her bedside table.
Afterwards, as she was about to leave the room, she looked around the back of Sylvia’s neck.

Light red hair down her back, her neck covered by it.
I wondered why he was touching that way. It’s a part I don’t usually touch, but today I’ve seen it more than ten times.
Adele, who was in deep agony in her heart, slowly approached Sylvia by raising her toes.

Her Sylvia’s hair is tucked under her waist, so if she tosses over her she’ll be pulled and hurt, so she’ll have to get it out.
Adele, making up an excuse inside her, reached out to her.
The moment her hand penetrated Sylvia’s slick hair,

“Adele.”

Sylvia, who she thought was sleeping, called to Adele in a subdued voice.

“Whoa!”

Her frightened Adele fell behind her and landed on her buttock.
She asked, getting up quickly despite the soreness in her buttocks.

“Ah, you haven’t slept yet…?”

“Yes.”

“Why…?”

“I was trying to sleep. What are you doing?”

Sylvia asks without turning her body.
The atmosphere is somehow scary.

“That… I put some citrus scented candles there. When you woke up, she wished she felt refreshed, so…”

“Okay? Thanks Come to think of it, it smells nice… Is it grapefruit?”

“Right…”

“Why did you touch my hair?”

Feeling like being interrogated.
Nervous Adele laid out her excuses.

“That… Her hair looked uncomfortable… So I tried to straighten it out…”

At those words, Sylvia turned her body and looked directly at her Adele.

“Is that the end?”

“Actually… I was curious because she kept touching the back of her neck… I just wanted to check it out…”

“The back of my neck… It’s really nothing special… You can watch it if you want to see it. Or should I show you myself?”

Sylvia’s bold gamble paid off.

“Oh, no… It’s okay. All my curiosity is gone…”

“I was just about to fall asleep, by the way, did you wake me up?”

“I’m sorry…”

Sylvia was so strange today.
Touching each other’s hair was a common practice.
But look at Sylvia’s eyes now. It’s like a villain in a horror movie.
I’m sure it’s not that I’m angry because I’ve run away from sleep…
Adele, overwhelmed by her momentum, involuntarily stepped back from her.

“I’ll just leave…”

“Lie down next to me.”

“Yes…? No… I have work to do…”

“Sleeping together? Lie down now.”

“Well, from now on, I’m going to watch a three-hour video with the brightness and volume turned up to maximum… You said you can’t sleep because of the light on your phone, but if there is noise, can you sleep properly? I guess not…”

Sylvia’s lips went up at Adele’s naive evasive remark.

“Isn’t that overdoing it?”

Her mood softened even more.
Relieved, Adele let out a deep sigh.
And it was her words.

“I… Can I go back…?”

“No.”

“… Then, will it be here…? Just three minutes… No more than that…”

“It’s a joke. Can go.”

“Yes…”

Adele hurriedly tried to leave Sylvia’s room.
However,

“Adele.”

When Sylvia called to herself with the same voice from earlier, she stopped.

“Did you call…?”

“You are like my sister. Know?”

“I know…”

“I would give my life for you.”

What kind of confession all of a sudden? The timing was questionable.
I was willing though. For saying it like that
Adele, who had lost a lot of fear, answered.

“Me too. But please don’t say such terrifying things.”

“You mean you could give your life?”

“Yes…”

“Okay. I will refrain from doing so in the future. Am I really sleeping?”

“Good night…”

Adele bowed her head and went back to her room and lay down on her bed.
It felt like her legs and her whole body were losing strength.
Why did Sylvia’s mood change?

Maybe she’s still sensitive because she’s been through so much trouble? Perhaps she is distraught because she has almost exhausted her Aether energy.
It would be nice if that appearance was temporary… But I’m worried, so I’ll ask Jihyeok tomorrow.
What caused Sylvia to be like that?
