CHAPTER 74

"She almost got into trouble. and it's natural for me, her husband, to take care of her, right?"

"Usually it is."

It was hard to find any doubt in Cliff's face if he had done something insidious.

"What are you doing?"

"What's the matter. I think you got hurt because of me. so i came to visit you."

Cliff waved a bouquet of flowers in his hand and handed it over to Anna.

"What do you mean she got hurt because of my brother?"

Killian glanced at his brother with sharp eyes.

"Actually, I recommended a yacht to Edith. It's was your favorite thing to do."

"Yes. . . . ?"

"Oh! C-Cliff!"

Dude, why are you bringing that now? with Killian next to me, what's about my face?

"What? The two of you met separately? Tell me what the two of you talked about. Be honest."

Killian frowned even more as if he was offended that there was something he didn't know, and Cliff shrugged at me, who was embarrassed and said.

"It was a wide place. I just wanted you and your wife get along better. so I told her about your favorite thing and what you like, something like ride the yacht and enjoying the art."

Killian looked at me. My face was burning because I felt like I had become a woman who dug up information from Cliff to buy Killian's heart. But surprisingly, Killian's reaction wasn't bad.

"Really, you did?"

"No, yeah. . . . well, I've never been on a yacht before, so I was curious. . . . "

I didn't commit a crime, but why am I so anxious. Even if I don't look in the mirror, I can tell my face was so red now. Killian smiled at me, who couldn't answer well, and turned his head toward Cliff again.

"By the way, I heard my brother also went to the yacht the night before we depart? Why did you go for?"

"Ah. . . . .To find something."

"What did you lose? Made you go to the lake late at night? it's dangerous. You can just come with us the next morning."

Killian asked in a laugh voice, but I noticed a keen energy in his eyes.

"Actually, it's because Lizzy lost her favorite earrings. So i think she lost it there when we went on a yacht last time."

". . . . . Lizzy?"

"Um, she cherishes it very much. She was really upset that she couldn't find it, so I went over there, even though it's already late night. However, it wasn't there."

If Killian's brain is working properly, he's might probably think the same thing that I think right now.

'Perhaps, Lizzy. . . . ?'

There's no way Lizzy did it herself, I'm sure she hired someone else.

'But I guess she didn't think that cliff would talk it with his mouth.'

Indeed, it was enough for her to say that she had lost her earring to convince him. She didn't even ask him to look for it right away. It was just that Cliff was over loyal and went out to look for it at that time.

'If this is Lizzy's doing, it must have been very detailed. This is a great leap to convince us to think that it's was like Cliff's doing. Just by throwing a hint at him.'

Watching Cliff change the topic and start talking about something else, I smiled lightly and responded casually. And after Cliff had gone, Lizzy visited. Killian, who was about to stand up, made eye contact with me when he heard Lizzy come to visit me and sat down again.

"Edith!"

Lizzy approached me, looking so worried as if she was about to cry, but still stunningly beautiful as always. Her appearance melted away all my doubts about her, to the point where I thought it would be better to be blind rather than seeing her true character. I was a little worried that Killian would be swayed by that, but with my life on the line, I have to be careful.

"Are you all right now? I kept being rejected to visit you several times, so I thought you were really sick."

To think that she began to speak with unpleasant words. She said she had been 'rejected to visit me, If someone heard you say that, they would think I had rejected you coldly. In addition, she continued with the words 'I thought you were really sick'. This part of the sentence made me feel like I was being criticized for refusing her visit when I wasn't really sick. Really? it's a bit unfair to me.

"What? you were rejected to visit me?"

I've never refused. . . . . Then Lizzy was confused and looked at Killian, who spoke up.

"She really not in a good condition to receive a visit, and she never refused for you visiting, it was me who declined it on my own reason."

. . . . . the person who has been with me for a few days finally said it.

"Ahh, Killian. . . . .it that so?"

Lizzy answered jokingly, and I was a little dumbfounded. but there's no need to break our alliance with Killian here. Then i showed my best apologetic face and said.

"You must have been very disappointed to come all the way here. I'm sorry, Lizzy."

"Oh, no! Edith's health is more important. Are you really okay now?"

"Yes. I've been feeling a little sore here and there for a few days, but now I feel much better. I think I'll be able to get up completely soon or later."

"That's a relief."

Lizzy was relieved like an angel with tears in her eyes again. I was trying to laugh and pass it, but suddenly, I wanted to see Lizzy a little more.

"It was such a relief. Killian jumped into the water to save me without hesitating at all. If it wasn't for this guy, I might already . . . ."

"Edith, let's not talk about that. Just imagining it gives me goosebumps."

Thanks to Killian for being by my side, I could clearly see Lizzy expression changed.

'Her face was hardened even for a moment.'

In my previous life, I like to watch American drama, which is the main character in that drama is someone who likes to study scientist micro facial expressions. i'm not well-versed in such psychology, but even to me, the expression she made just now was clearly negative emotion.

'I'm sure there is something?'

Perhaps Lizzy is the character that most reflects the will of the creator.

"Yes, Edith. Don't imagine such a terrible thing. I'm so glad you're so healthy."

Lizzy smiled with a loving face as if she had never been serious, and I also responded with a smile.

"By the way, Killian. I'm glad that you are safe too. It's dangerous to jump into the water blindly. Killian almost got in trouble, too. I was worried."

When she was done with me, Lizzy began to attack Killian with a worried look on her face. And I slowly began to understand it.

'Lizzy. . . . . Are you trying to get Killian back, right?'

Lizzy was trying to get her sub male lead back. She tries to change Killian's mind even though it deviates from Lizzy Sinclair's default character settings. I was strangely pleased by that. Because it was like proof that I've done it right.

"You're said same thing like Edith do. But as her husband, i can't just let my wife die."

Good job, my husband! Why do I feel so relieved? Although I was relieved, Lizzy seemed to be upset. Well, I bet that's not what you're laughing for, right? It's 'true' huh, even though she speaks in a cute tone, Lizzy certainly seemed offended by it. Killian saved my life and took my side. Thanks to him, Lizzy visit was over quickly.

"I been sitting for too long, I think I'll make Edith feel uncomfortable. so I'll be back now."

"Thank you for visiting, Lizzy."

I saw her off with a smile and lay down on the pillow. The thought of Lizzy made me feel both warm and fuzzy inside. Of course, I wasn't sure that Lizzy was trying to kill me. All this is just my belief. . . . The problem is that belief is quite strong.

"Edith."

Killian seemed to feel the same way and called me in a quiet voice.

"Yes, Killian."

"Well, I guess you were glad that I saved you? But pretended not to. . . . . "

Huh? is that what you were talking about? Anyway, why are men so obsessed with compliments? All right, all right. Here you go, your compliment!

"Of course. Do you really mean that? I thought you wouldn't care if I disappeared, but my husband risked his life to save me. How touching i am?"

I said it with playful, but it was still a compliment to me. Killian's eyes were a little strange. He stared at me for a moment, then said something.

"I won't let you disappear."

"Killian. . . . !"

"I don't know where to go and what I gonna do if you really disappear. I'd rather keep you by my side and watch over you."

Alas, it is. I coughed and started laughing, and Killian turned his head and laughed. I was still happy with this relationship. To be honest, even at this level of comfort, it was too sweet for me.

***

A few days later, i fully recovered my health, I headed to Linan's office for the first time in a while. I thought I was finally getting a normal daily life back, but then something unexpected happened.

"Good moning miss."

"Are you feeling better now?"

"Oh my gosh, you get up already?' Would it better to get some more rest. Don't you think so?"

As I passed by, the servants of the mansion greeted me with a friendly smile. It wasn't just one or two.

'What's wrong with everyone all of a sudden?'

I was in a good mood, but I was dumbfounded, but when there were no people around, Anna, who is next to me, whispered.

"All of servants in the mansion treat Uncle Samuel like a father or a close friend. There is probably no one who doesn't owe Uncle Samuel a favor."

"Really? Even though he lives separately in a cabin next to the lake?"

"Uncle Samuel works back and forth between a mansion and a cabin. He has been working for a long time before i work here and has good personal connections here and there, so he helped a lot of people who work here."

"Ahhh, Is that so. . . . ."

I guess that warm and kind impression wasn't just made.
