Chapter 25: Selfish Love

When night comes, the black forest surrounds the small, peaceful-looking bungalows. The blood that permeated the cold and wet air, the testimony of the hairy drinking blood, the suffocating feeling, the irresistible brutality, and the blood-red eyes under the lightning...... Apparently, he enjoyed the sensation of stimulating nerves to produce euphoria.

He loves her, but never asks her what she needs, and this love is selfish.

……

"Eat some or less, otherwise you'll be more uncomfortable." Steward Shao was worried about her health, he could smell the smell of fine blood on her body, if he got closer, no one knew if he could resist this temptation.

She ignored his warning, and lay quietly on the bed, not having time to wash off the remaining blood stains on her body, or rather she hadn't thought about it at all. Now in chaos, she is overwhelmed and feels like she is the garbage abandoned by the world, as she has been since birth. Here, what is she? Blood slaves? Mistress? Collins can have a lot of women, but she doesn't have anything. He could take something else from her, but what he shouldn't take was her fragile feelings. Once trusted for no reason, touching the heartstrings again and again and pierced again and again, what is her name in his heart? She quietly shed a line of tears, unwilling and afraid to think about it again. So tired, a man who shouldn't be in love, is it a benefactor or an enemy? All the bubbles turned into tears, seeping into her cold skin. She decided to tear all memories apart, but so what? It's not that she can't make up for her emotional gap.

Collins didn't come to see her, instead choosing to go for treatment. He still complained about her, but he knew that he had hurt her last night, showing his animalistic nature like an ancient beast.

"Lord Count, can you tell me about your symptoms?"

"Restlessness, irritability, decreased self-control, and reduced work efficiency."

"Then we recommend that you go to the psychiatrist."

"No, I want you to take a hard look at my brain, I may have been drugged with nerve drugs."

……

Because the glass windows prevented the smell from spreading, and the room was still filled with a strong smell of blood, he brought a basin of hot water inside, and saw that the food on the side had not been touched. He looked at her again, and she covered her whole body, including her head, but he felt that she was still warm. How to exonerate the crime, he did not know, what he had to do now was to wash the blood stains off her body - the mistake he made. He uncovered the thin sheets and scrubbed first the neck and then elsewhere.

The water in the basin grew darker and darker, and her disgust for him grew.

When he returned from changing the water, he saw her staring intently at the ceiling. Should his illness be explained? He hesitated, wring out the handkerchief to wipe her face, but she avoided him. "Tell me, please, what is your so-called love? Possession? You've got another woman. ”

"I'm sorry for what happened last night, actually...... I'm sorry. ”

"I don't need your apology."

"Then what should I do to forgive me?"

"Leave me alone, and don't bind me with your selfishness anymore."

"Is it really impossible for us?"

Theoretically, there was such a probability, but she couldn't answer the question because it was so complicated.

He mistakenly thought that she had given an affirmative answer, and walked out of the room disappointed.

He met Steward Shao and told Shao: "You don't have to worry about the affairs of Earl County in the future." Collins is not stupid, the woman knows about the gentleman, and I am afraid that she owes a lot to this "faithful" housekeeper. Shao Yi has been here since he was born, and he knows more about the affairs between the previous generation than Collins, but Shao Wan should not involve Ji Yiru. It's already too late to say anything.

Another night, he spread his wings and flew freely, accompanied by the stars and the moon. Fly a little longer, and he will be able to see the sea, and although the headwind exerts a lot of resistance on him, he does not stop, he likes the whistling sound of the wind blowing in his ears. In the distance there was a lighthouse that had been abandoned for many years, and he flew a long way to get there, where he quietly guarded the sea and sky.
