Lazily Yours. - Chapter 615: I Want A Child
“Hungry,” Gabi uttered. Yes, she shouldn’t expect anything else. She leaned against the chair and sighed inwardly. She grew up with that fake Alfons and deplorable father. For the first time, she actually thought that someone else cared for her?
How pathetic.
After all the things that she went through, it seems that her heart was still weak — she was still weak.
“Then… I will instruct the kitchen to — ” As if realizing his words, Aden paused. He lifted his head and looked at Gabi’s bland gaze. “I— ”
“It’s fine. I am not going to ask anything.” There wasn’t a hint of a smile on her face. She was here to get stronger, not show any weaknesses. She was here to learn and yes… she should consider these emotions as part of the learning process.
Maybe the fact that he helped her heal her body made her think that she was somehow important to him. Anyway, she should stop thinking like this. He only did it because of the experiment. It was a win-win situation for both of them. She shouldn’t be muddled.
The fact that this man helped him countless times actually affected her.
She was so pathetic.
Just as he said, food arrived in her room after a few minutes. Servants that she hasn’t seen before arranged a table for the two of them. “What’s wrong with you?” Aden asked.
“Nothing… just hungry and tired.” Gabi started eating.
“Ah… this is your first time fighting someone, right?”
“I’m not gonna ask you how you knew that,” she retorted. This man was hiding a lot of secrets from her. Of course, she was well aware that she didn’t have any right to know them. After six months here, she should stop seeing this man.
“I will be staying here from now on.”
“You can’t stay in my room.”
“Says who? I am your doctor.”
“…” How shameless. “Then sleep on the floor.” This place is not going to be big enough for another bed. So he could only sleep on the floor.
“No can do. Let’s just sleep on the bed. Don’t worry… you are definitely not my type.”
Gabi squinted at him. “Fine, I will sleep on the floor. Asked your people to bring me a new mattress.”
“Why are you being so hardheaded?”
Gabi pursed her lips and didn’t say anything else. What’s wrong with sleeping on the floor? Since this man is shameless enough to stay in her room, then she wanted to see if he would be shameless enough to see her sleep on the floor!
“Why not just sleep on the bed with me?”
Again Gabi didn’t answer.
“Alright… Alright… you win… I will sleep in the next room.”
Gabi snorted. Just as she expected, there was another room. But this man just didn’t want to let go of the nanoparticles in her body. Should she make it clear to him that after these six months, she would completely stop this collaboration?
Hmmm… Perhaps after she repaid him.
Speaking of repayment…
The moment that they finished their food, Gabi went to her closet and gave Aden a piece of paper. “My payment.”
“What’s this?”
“Something that would protect Du Empire.” After rummaging through her memories, she had come up with a few important details about some terrorist that is hiding inside the Southern part of the Empire. It should be enough payment for Archy and Aden’s help.
Moreover, these terrorists would be vital in Alfons’ career in the future as he would be the one that was supposed to defeat them, kill their boss and make a huge contribution to the empire. Because of this, many people would support him.
“Payment?” she didn’t miss the sharp glint in his eyes. Almost immediately, the temperature inside the room dropped. What was this atmosphere?
“For the nanoparticles. The healing… everything.”
He frowned at her. “Payment?” he repeated, his face slowly turned grim.
“Yes. For the deal…”
“I see… ” his jaws clenched. “Payment.”
“Yes, payment.” She blinked at him. What’s this now? Why does it look like he was about to strangle her? “If it’s not enough, then… I could…”
“Enough.”
“Huh?”
“Yes, it’s not enough.”
So… he wanted more information? But she couldn’t give more without revealing the fact that she came from the future. “Don’t worry… I will give you more once I get out of here. I am not that ungrateful of a person.” Yes, this man was her benefactor. This was only the first year of their collaboration. She could easily stay away from him once she got out of here.
She wasn’t some dumb woman that would let her feelings win over her brain. She was certain that she would soon forget about this disappointment that she felt inside. If she won’t forget it, then she would just get rid of it!
This is for her future. This is for her dear Luca.
However, the man’s face only got darker when he heard her words. Seeing this, Gabi turned silent. Was it possible that he wanted to use her body for his future experimentation? That — “What are you thinking? Do you want my body?” Alright, maybe that came out wrong.
“Huh?”
At least, there was a look of surprise on his face? “For experimentation. Look… let’s settle this now. While you helped me heal my body, I won’t allow you to perform some experiments on me in the future. That’s not going to happen.” What if he ruined her prospects of having another Luca?
“What are you talking about?”
“I meant… your nanoparticles project. Now that you succeeded. You can use it to heal someone, then you can surely use it on another person as well. Using me as an experiment isn’t going to benefit you at all. First and foremost, I have the Ren Family behind me. If I disappear, they would surely look into me. Second, I am not good at fighting or anything like that. It is best to find someone who is already a professional killer, heal that person, and use that person for your studies. And third, I can’t let you ruin my body. I want to have a child.”
“…”
