Chapter 36 A Deep and Unexpected Love

In the bathroom, Sylvester washed his hands until they turned red and the skin had nearly peeled off.

He raised his hand and sniffed it, always able to smell that hint of blood.

Lela opened the door and slowly approached, making sure that he could see her in the mirror, before coming up behind him to wrap her arms around his waist. She slowly turned him to face her and laid a kiss to his chin, then cheek, then mouth. Tears filled her eyes at the thought of all he had gone through.

He looked down at her with longing.

"Today, I will teach you an idiom, which means 'a reciprocal understanding between people"." After saying that, Sylvester ignored whether Lela understood or not and held her hands, kissing her delicately.

Lela was like an apostle, and Sylvester was who she folled into the darkness. Her watery eyes looked at Sylvester, shining brighter. She wanted to talk to him now, to comfort him, but she could neither find the words, nor risk him finding out that she'd been pretending. The timing wasn't right.

She was afraid that if he found out she was deceiving him, she wouldn't be able to stay by his side. She didn't understand the reciprocal understanding he brought up and wanted to retract her hand.

Sensing Lela's nervousness, Sylvester kindly let go of her and leaned his head against her neck, taking a deep breath. At that moment, he caught a faint and mesmerizing fragrance emanating from her body. He couldn't help but sniff forcefully. Feeling uncomfortable, Lela pushed Sylvester away. She thought she would need a lot of strength, but unexpectedly, she easily pushed him back.

Sylvester stood up straight, facing her. His eyes were beautiful. From color to shape, she couldn't imagine anything more lovely. His irises were an unusual amber color that could draw people in and seemed enchanting.

"Little thing, why do you smell so good?" At Balthazar's Auction House, when he verified her, he drank her blood and only then knew that this Little Thing's blood was very sweet and had an indescribable fragrance. Could emitting a fragrance from her body also be another"ability" of this Mutant? But why hadn't he smelled any fragrance emanating from her body before?
