Chapter 45- Blood Absorption
"Wait, what?" Elio blinked. "You're not… mad?" He asked in disbelief. He was ready to hear harsh scolding for doing such a reckless thing. He knew that Fiona had taken responsibility for him, and his grandmother herself had told her to keep him safe. Fiona was a very serious person and someone who took promises like life or death. So, when he put his life on the line, she felt like she had failed her role on the first day.
Yet, surprisingly, she didn't seem that angry. In fact, aside from the small bit of scolding, she seemed completely fine.
"I am mad. But, seeing how you were ready to save that person even though you knew you could die… That is something I admire." She said as she looked away.
"..."
Elio was completely speechless. That subtle change in her tone was more than enough to tell him that she felt something different. Perhaps she wasn't too mad after all.
