130 Moon (1/2)

Abi felt like the world stood still. Her eyes were wide as saucers as she tried to hide her shocked expression. Even though she had been worrying about this, that Ezekiel Qin might have become suspicious after seeing her at the hospital, she still couldn't believe that he found her out.

Her face became white as chalk and she started to tremble.

Seeing the girl's reaction, Zeke's eyes slightly widened. He didn't expect her to react like this.

The man's eyes moved as he checked if anyone else was within earshot of the two of them. When he confirmed that it was clear, he slightly bent down and whispered in her ear. ”Rest assured that I will not tell anyone about it, not even Alex.”

Abi was again stunned. She opened her mouth but no words came out.

”He's like that because he's angry about something else.”

”S-something else?”

”Miss Chen… just like the fact that you have a secret that you never want him to find out, you also know that he is hiding something as well, right? This is something that he never wants you to find out, no matter what happens.” He stared at her, his eyes calm like there was a drifting gray cloud in them. ”I'm not going to meddle in your affairs. I will keep yours and his secrets but… I just want to tell you this, Miss Chen, that no matter what he does to you, no matter how terrifying he becomes, if you want to stay with him… don't ever fear him… or at least, make sure not to show him how scared you are.”

Abi just gaped at him as she listened to his words. She couldn't say a word back.

It was then that someone entered the living room.

Zeke glanced at the person before he casually moved away. ”Don't worry about him. He'll come back once he calms down,” he told her before he left.

Once the man was gone, Abi finally moved from her spot. She abruptly turned and was about to run out but she collided with Kai, the person who walked into the room from behind her.

”Careful,” the man said as he held her shoulders, steadying her.

When Abi saw that it was Kai, she immediately asked him where Alex was.

”I don't know. He's probably outside somewhere,” the man replied as he looked outside the window. Abi followed his line of sight and she finally realized that a thunderstorm was raging outside.
