Eternal Melody

Chapter 1038 This is me Part 14

TOH

Toh released all the anger he has been suppressing since meeting Nagawa Sano again. When he first returned, he observed the situation between him and Sumire. Nagawa appeared to have changed, and since Sumire kept meeting with him. Toh understood that she saw that too. However, he has never stopped keeping an eye out on the situation.

When Toh learned about the deal between them. He immediately understood. It's not as though Nagawa Sano's behaviour has changed, it's because he has a way to express his desires.

"Make no mistake. Sumire isn't like you. I don't know what kind of girl you think she is. But, she is the loyal type."

That's right, Sumire is loyal. No matter how many guys who like her, she has remained loyal to one person. Long before she even started dating the guy in her heart, she was loyal to him. That's why none of the guys in Nanairofeather bothered to make a proper move on her.

Sano scoffed. "It seems you're the one who doesn't know her very well. I know her, I know how lonely she gets. Did you know she only started to date me because she was lonely?"

"I knew."

'And wasn't it the same with me? I subconsciously took advantage of her loneliness.'

"That girl hasn't changed at all-" Sano paused. "Actually her physical appearance has changed. I'll admit it's nice that her breasts are larger-"

At those words Toh hit Sano again, before he could hit him again. A girl with dark coloured hair wearing a hospital gown stepped before him and Toh exhaled deeply.

"Akane dear, if you don't control your brother, You'll never see him again." Toh said as calmly as he could.

Akane bit her bottom lip and nodded. "I'll make sure of it."

'I doubt she can keep that promise. Her brother's behaviour constantly changes like a light bulb. If I wasn't too busy monitoring Sumire's condition, I'd analyze why Nagawa Sano acts the way he does. Because, there really is something off about him,'

Toh picks up the documents from the table and swiftly exits the room, not even looking back once. It was the first time he had seen Akane in a while. Ever since Sumire returned, he hasn't been able to visit her.

'When Sumire's situation has settled down, I ought to make the time to visit. After all, she only ended up in that condition because of me.

It didn't take long before he reached the room.

Toh expected to find her sleeping or composing songs again. But, what he didn't expect was to find Sumire hunched on the ground clutching her stomach. This sight led to him dropping the tray of food in his hands and rushing to her side. The moment he got close, he could see how pale her face was and her entire body drenched in sweat. What's wrong with her?

'I'll get Nagawa in here, he should still be around-' Toh turned to leave when a weak arm reached out towards him.

"No, it won't help."

"Beautiful-"

"L-Lucifer, can you-" Sumire's sentence fell short when she started coughing.

Dried lips, pale skin and Toh noticed. The brief moment Sumire had her eyes open. He saw red, not amethyst.

She's calling for Lucifer. Although, Lucifer has come up several times in their discussions. This is the first time Sumire has called for him.

Toh's decision was swift. Rather than call Nagawa in here and have him panic. The best thing to do is summon Lucifer. Toh takes his phone out and immediately calls Lucifer, the moment the call connects however. He spots a black whiff of shadows in the corner of the room, and Lucifer materialized.

He raised his eyebrow. "That was way too fast."

"I can sense her through the bond, but I needed to make sure she was asking for me. Your call confirmed that."

Indeed, his presence is probably why the Lord hasn't tried coming here.

Hearing Sumire cry out, Toh's gaze dimmed. "What's wrong with her? Why is she like this?"

Lucifer didn't say anything as he scooped Sumire in his arms.

Sumire flinched.

"It's me." Lucifer said softly. "Drink."

Sumire weakly wrapped her arms around Lucifer's neck."Nngh."

"That's it, good girl."

Toh could only state at the sight stunned.

'That's the first time I've heard him speak so softly. Is he actually serious about her?' Of course he is serious. Otherwise Toh wouldn't have left Sumire by Lucifer's side at all. From the moment he learned that Lucifer was the one who had taken her. Toh noticed something different in Lucifer.

'I made a risky move. It could have easily backfired on me. I constantly visited afterwards just to make sure. But each visit reaffirmed my belief that Lucifer will not harm her, physically or even emotionally.'

After everything that has happened the last few months. Toh understood. The ones who had been targeting Sumire emotionally were Nagawa Mira and Suigetsu. No, the one who put those ideas in their minds is Jian Hijiri. After all, only someone who knows?Sumire well, knows how to break her down.

Toh watches as Sumire pulls away, "Lucifer." Sumire said softly. "You came for me."

"Of course, I will always come for you my heart." Lucifer picks her up and places her on the bed. "Get some rest."

"You're not staying?" Sumire asked, confused.

Lucifer shakes his head. "Sleep."

Sumire seemed very reluctant to sleep, but Lucifer placed his hand over her face. It didn't take long before Sumire's eyelids shut.

"What was that?" Toh finally spoke up.

"Were bonded. Of course she needs my blood."

Lucifer glanced down at Sumire who was still tugging on his cloak.

"She'll need me."

Despite those vague words, Toh immediately understood what Lucifer meant. It's not just blood Sumire will be needing from Lucifer, but the two need to be physically close. Images of the times he caught the two kissing flashed through his mind. Images of Lucifer pinning Sumire against the wall or straddling her on his lap. Images of the girl between Lucifer's legs.

Toh shakes his head. It's over, it's over now. That stuff won't happen between the two anymore. The only reason Sumire went along with it, is because she lost her memories and assumed Lucifer was her husband. Now that Sumire has her memories back, she won't allow Lucifer to take advantage of her.
