Chapter 661 I Don’t Understand Him

With tears streaming down my cheeks, I looked up at Ezekiel, but his face was unusually pale, and he softly said, "I'll take you home."

"Thank you, but you've done enough for me today," I said, shaking my head. "You're also injured. I'll just take a cab myself."

I never asked him where he was injured. Perhaps I didn't want to show too much concern for him.

Ezekiel turned around, saying, "Be safe."

His tone was a little cold.

I asked him softly, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just some unpleasant memories coming to mind. I'll be fine, Ms. Felix. Be safe on the road and take care of yourself."

What kind of unpleasant memories is causing Ezekiel to be depressed?

"Aw, don't overthink it," I added.

I stopped talking and left Ezekiel's home. It wasn't until I got outside that I realized I was still in my pajamas. I'd also forgotten to bring my phone.

When I turned around to open the door, Ezekiel was curled up in the corner. He appeared perplexed, and his current posture indicated that he was scared.

I dashed over to him while calling his name, and he murmured, "No, don't hit me! I'll be good! I won't make any mistakes! Why do you want to hit me? I'm being very good! What did I do wrong?"

Ezekiel's voice was filled with fear.

"Ezekiel, are you okay?" I exclaimed.

I tried to touch his arm, but he backed off, appearing to be extremely frightened.

"Don't hit me! It hurts! Zeke can't take it anymore, Grandpa! Can you take Zeke away?"

Is he trapped in a memory from the past?

When I saw him like this, my eyes welled up and I exclaimed, "Ezekiel! It's me!"

"It was you guys who were unkind first, so don't blame me for being ruthless. You were the one who forced me to kill you!

"You did a good job of hiding your identity as a Felix. As for me, I have a task to complete. When I'm finished, I'll leave! Why do I have to leave, you ask? If I don't do this, I'll die here. Before I turn 18, I need to find a new home for myself. Yes, that's right, I have to leave. Why are you inviting me to live with you? What's the point of my going there? Ree, I need to leave to work on my low self-esteem. When I succeed, I'll return to find you."

Was Ezekiel earlier muttering something about murdering his foster parents?

Did he murder them so he could be returned to the orphanage and find another adoptive family? How did he kill two adults without anyone noticing him?

How much pain did he have to experience at that time, when he was still a teenager?

He looked pained as I kept calling his name, lost in his memories.

I had no idea how to console him when I heard him murmur, "Waylen, people say I have a violent personality, but is this kind of method considered violent? I was only acting on impulse. If this is considered violent, then what I went through previously was hell. Waylen, I recently told Gary a story and sent him back to Bryxton. To be honest, I'd like to return to her side, but there are still some issues here. Waylen, I finally have enough money to be with her. I just want to leave with the money and return to her side…
