Chapter 841 You Are The Secret Which Blooms In My Heart Part 8

TOH

When Toh returned, he noticed that Sumire had unpaused the movie and was jotting something down in her notebook. He raised his eyebrow at this. What kind of notes could she possibly be taking? Toh quietly rolled the trolley of food towards the bed, careful not to make too much noise. His gaze fell on the notes Sumire was writing, and he blinked.

"If I didn't know any better beautiful. I would think you were a pervert." Toh commented.

Sumire's cheeks flushed red noticing him. "D-Don't sneak up on me like that!"

"Food is ready." Toh declared. "I didn't think you liked the movie so much." He takes a seat beside her, and returned his hand to her legs.

"I don't. It's your average B rated movie. I was just thinking that these scenes were interesting. It's for practical purposes."

That should make him cringe knowing that she is making references for Teras.h.i.+ma and her to be intimate. But, how could he be upset when she is making a cute face?

Seeing her cheeks puff up, Toh laughed again. She is very cute. It's a shame she declined his offer. But, his gaze fell towards his hand between her legs. He supposes this will do for now.

"Sumire." Toh said softly.

"Hmm?" Sumire had returned her attention to the movie. "You know, I don't think we ever did that."

Toh's gaze fell back on the screen of the girl being f.u.c.ked against the table. His lips curved half amused, seeing her curious looking eyes.

"Are you curious?"

"A little. It just seems weird, I mean a table is supposed to be where we eat meals."

"You said it yourself, a table is used for eating. You'll be the meal."

Sumire's face turned red and she coughed. "Oh."

Toh continued to stroke her legs.

"Toh--" Sumire said softly. "Your hand-"

"I know."

"No, you have no idea." Sumire exclaimed. "This is too much."

"I think your body is just reacting to my touches."

"You said that was normal." Sumire pointed out.

Toh nodded. "It is." He trailed off seeing the growing confusion on her face. He drew his hand back and leaned forward to kiss her forehead. "This is enough of my lessons today."

"Oh, okay."

A low reaction, not that he minded. Toh ran his fingers down her forearm. "I have to ask, are you okay? How are you feeling?"

"Mmm, my mood does seem better since you returned. I think having you around makes me feel at ease."

"That's good to know beautiful. But, remember if there is anything wrong, you tell me immediately."

It's true she isn't throwing up most nights anymore, and her appet.i.te is getting better. However, she still carelessly plays with her life and ends up doing dangerous stunts.

"I understand. But can I ask you for the same?"

Toh blinked confused, it takes him a moment to understand. "I am fine beautiful. Like you advised Nagawa, as long as you don't falter in front of Lucifer. He will have a hard time pus.h.i.+ng you around."

"But he can still break you." Sumire paused and extended her hand out and caress his cheek. "Toh, I truly am sorry for what happened to you. I wish I was there, I wish I stopped it. I wish I didn't have to let you go. I have so many regrets." She paused.

The girl looked like she was battling something in her mind. Eventually she spoke.

"I can't go back in time. But, meeting you again. I have been given a second chance. A chance I don't deserve but will make use of it."

'You silly girl, you deserve every chance. Every happiness that comes your way.' Toh knew better than to say those words and simply pointed to the tray of food.

"I made your favourites."

Sumire's gaze brightened. "Mm. Okay."

When he received a call that Sumire was poisoned the following night. All Toh could do was sigh. He was furious but he already predicted this. Which was why several times during the night, he was thinking of whether or not to set up a barrier to prevent her from leaving the house. But, if he actually did that, he would be no better than the monsters that kept her locked up in the facility.

Toh exhaled deeply as he stepped out of the car.

The scene was a mess when he arrived. There were different coloured cars, and several vans with the Hyou4 logo.

Hamano Atus.h.i.+ was there at the front as he spoke to a woman with purple coloured hair, whom he immediately recognized as Kiragi Asuka. He scanned the chaotic scene for her and immediately found her.

A man with navy coloured hair wearing gla.s.ses was crouched down, telling Sumire to stay awake.

Hamano spots him and calls him over. "Mas.h.i.+ma."

"Is she fine?"

"They were aiming for her. Our third in command took the brunt of the damage, but she still got hit."

Toh nodded and walked over to Sumire, and immediately scooped the girl up in his arms. "So, I should have tied you to the bed after all." He tried to make a flirty remark, but he was very concerned.

Her skin is so cold.

Seeing the needles on the ground, where she was. His gaze dimmed. Of course he recognized it.

Out of all the poisons..

"Do you recognize it?" A voice from beside him said.

It belonged to Kiragi Asuka.

"Yes." Toh looked at the girl in his arms. "I'll tell you the antidote, and hopefully you have the ingredients at hand."

"We raided something that looks like a base not too long ago. I'll see if there is anything there."

He remembered the effects of the poison: the victim gradually lost strength in his/her body and slowly their organs would shut down.

A slow acting poison that made sure the other person, felt every bit of suffering and pain.

However, it's not Lucifer's style to do this. 'I know he was mad about what happened the other day, but he would never resort to such a cheap trick to harm Sumire.'

No, Lucifer's actions so far have shown that he will never physically harm Sumire.

Then, the only one who could have done this is Nagawa Mira. When Toh learned the surname of the woman controlling the board in the Black alice organization. It finally occurred to him why Lucifer would recruit Nagawa Sano. Normally Lucifer wouldn't pay attention to someone like Nagawa Sano.
