Chapter 222: What Was He Protecting?

"What?" Angela touched her neck, unsure if her hand was on the right spot, yet the sharp sting confirmed the pain was there.

"Were you sick? Is that why you fainted?" Kaito’s face was tight with worry, his voice carrying a tremor. He grew more anxious as she kept quiet, waiting for an answer that did not come. "You should have told me the moment you felt unwell. We will go to the hospital, alright?"

Angela’s mind spun. She did not know whether to say yes or no. She was still trying to piece together what was real and what was not, still wondering if the strange dream she had lived through was supposed to be her true reality.

"I will come with you," she finally whispered. The last time she had lied with Renn, it had only been to satisfy their cravings, but now it was different. This time, she was truly unwell, and going to the hospital was no excuse or trick.

"Thank the moon you didn’t say no," Kaito murmured, his hand closing around hers. He led her out of the hall without even asking permission from the examiner. Angela was surprised he had the courage to do that so boldly.

"What would you have done if I said no?" she asked, turning to look at him just to be sure he was speaking with his mouth and not through some trick. Then she scolded herself silently. Of course, he was talking, she was just being stupid. Still, whatever had happened to her was messing with her mind, and she needed answers.

Outside, she slipped into the car beside him. The ride to the hospital was quiet, her thoughts louder than the engine. When they arrived, Dr. Dave welcomed them. Taros was still in the hall with her classmates, unable to leave because they needed safety personnel there. That left her stuck with Dave.

Inside the hospital room, Angela lay on the bed while tests were prepared. Kaito stayed close, not taking his eyes off Dave. He even tried to follow them to the laboratory, which made his actions appear strange. What was he so desperate to hide or protect?
