Chapter 90 – Things no one has told but you (1)
Translator: SKAISEditor: Eyeful Solstice
I’m not sure if he was doing this because of longing or it’s just that out of naivety.
I took a small breath and shut my eyes tightly as I did. Then, I opened them as I gave out a deep sigh.
Glancing over at his hand, there was sothing that bothered a little while ago...And my eyes stopped in one place.
Oh, of course.
His wrists had been slightly scratched and reddened by the handcuffs. Furthermore, I heard that the sound of chains being pulled is unusual. Poor thing.
He looked at my eyes, then followed the place where my eyes stayed, then turned his head to his side as if wondering what was wrong with it. In a matter of seconds, our eyes t, afterwards, I gave out a slight shrug and spoke.
“Doesn’t your wrist hurt?”
He was an unsusceptible child; no, a beast, who couldn’t say he was sick. He has no idea what pain is, or how to feel ache on his body.
“It doesn’t hurt.” he answered after a mont.
I chuckled lightly when I heard a small voice that ca from him. What should I do with this man? I thought. I don’t know why I laughed, but I’m amused that he’s talking, glad even.
“Yes, I hope one day I know what it’s like to be sick.” Ricdorian said.
Maybe this is not sothing I can tell him now, but soon.
In ti, he’ll understand. It’s really difficult to explain sothing to soone who has never felt it, or known it. I held his hands together.
The chains gave clinking sounds as I did. It echoed throughout the entire cell. Silence followed. Between , and the chains, and him, there’s nobody here besides us. I broke the creeping silence when I spoke.
“Because it’s important to realize the pain,” I said, then he flinched. At the sa ti, he looked at with a slightly ragged face. He pressed his lips together then looked down.
“Pain is also a warning sign of a greater danger. So you could avoid getting into sothing more dangerous. Please don’t ignore it. And don’t let things hurt you.” I carefully explained.
“Things that make you sick.” Ricdorian muttered.
“Yes. If you can’t do anything right now, you can do other things to get by. It’s not bad to not feel anything at all, for now.”
I raised his hand and put it on my chest. He looked at his hands then at . I could see his eyes narrowing a bit, but then it disappeared.
“You can wait for the right mont, for the right opportunity.”
I don’t know how much I can do to let him know. But it would be okay to show him sothing that would be easier for him to understand. Sothing that would be easy for him to rember. At least he wouldn’t be confused.
“Soday, everything will return back in ti.”
That day will definitely co to you.
He didn’t seem to understand it at all, but he nodded slowly.
“Okay? If it hurts, say it hurts. But I’m telling you, you don’t want to get hurt. Nobody wants to get hurt. Now, follow . Wait, no...I can’t, I won’t live.”
I jokingly added at the end.
He narrowed his eyes, and I know what his expression ant. He wasn’t buying my joke. Or maybe he just doesn’t get it? Of course, it was a joke that wouldn’t work here.
Soon, Ricdorian reiterated whether he understood only the preceding expression. He’s honestly quite clueless about most things.
“You don’t want to?”
“Huh. I don’t want to.”
I hate him, I hate him... I mumbled softly like a mantra. Then he straightened his head and looked right through .
“...Rember, I will.” The cold blue eyes stared straight at as if they had stuck in their eyes.
“Nobody else...told ... about all you just said...” He tightened his fingers around mine.
I almost forgot he was clutching my hands while we talked. His tightened grip on our interlocked hands made feel like he’s pouring his strength in it, as if telling those words with conviction.
“Other than you.” He added
He looked happy.
I once saw a video of an abandoned dog smiling brightly at his adoptee. It was amazing that even a speechless animal could feel so delighted.
Furthermore, I’m the very first person who let him out of the basent, so I can’t help it. Even if it were , I wouldn’t forget who would do such a kind thing to . I would owe that soone with my life, for sparing , taking care of . But I know, even if I do sothing unreasonable, that’s it.
“And one more thing.” I pulled up the corners of my lips and grinned as if I was ready to prank soone. He pressed his lips together. He gave out a surprised expression that only lasted three seconds, then he spoke in a low, slow voice.
“Don’t give it to .”
Just to be clear. The limitations to what I can give him is very easy to understand. I already told him about it before. So, I won’t be saying it again and it doesn’t an I can give him food anyti you want.
“You rember what I said before? Say no. Don’t take the food even if you want to ask for so. Food, no. But it doesn’t an you have to starve. You also have to learn to take care of yourself, and eating is one of them.”
He stopped. I figured that I need to keep talking now that he’s listening.
“Soone may cheat you anyti, anywhere and hit your back. The food might be dangerous or not even safe. So don’t even trust .” Because I’m that type of person, soone who will disappear after gaining the favor I wanted.
“...no.” Ricdorian said.
“What?” I asked, making sure if I heard him right.
“You told to say no, if I don’t like it.” He said with certitude.
I couldn’t hide my surprised face.
“Wow... you learn fast.” While saying this, I felt like I did a great job.
I didn’t think this was sothing that can’t be easily done to people... I wondered if this was how it felt to raise a pet. It is a little difficult in the beginning. But I have to say, it’s getting a little easier now.
“But what I said is true. Engrave it in your heart. Always rember. There’s nothing good in receiving treats from . Rember, okay?”
“Why...” He said as I poked him in the cheek.
“First of all, I can’t treat your wrists unless I bring you dicine.” He glanced down slowly, skimd his wrists and took them down.
“In addition... I’m here to do sothing bad to you.”
Bad deed, cancer. Yeah. It’s a bad thing.
Thinking of the tool that Jair had given , I kicked my tongue inside. I can’t let my tongue spill out everything.
“Bad... act?”
As I said so far, I wanted to be in the lookout for Ricdorian. I thought about it for a long ti, but I couldn’t help it if it would co out like that, and I was thinking of stepping down.
Even so, no matter how hard I think about it, it was neither my principle nor my conscience to make this man sick. I couldn’t leave him alone. But at the sa ti, my body moved slightly.
“Then, that bad thing, if you get hit.”
“Uh... Hmm...”
“Are you going to stay with ?” Ricdorian said as he pulled towards him, but I was so embarrassed by what I heard that made stumble.
Still, Ricdorian caught my body that lost its balance. However, he failed to brace himself on the added weight by the sudden catch and we both toppled to the floor.
Ahhhh, My gosh!!
Eventually, Ricdorian’s body carried backwards. I closed my eyes tightly, feeling dizziness beginning to take over . And it took so ti for to register just what position I was currently in.
