"Lou, thank you," Iris said when they were already inside the Serafim’s bedroom. People were very busy, since they occupied Moon Dew pack and found the people from the Black Market was actually still alive.
The merchants were the one, who was more thrilled than anyone else. In this battle, the merchants were not as powerful as the other three parties, but they were quite useful. They were wicked and resourceful. They were also not bad in a fight.
"What with the sudden gratefulness?" Lou furrowed his brows. "If you want to tell me how grateful you are, you can give me a hug or a kiss, you know."
The smile on Iris’s face fell when she heard that and she hissed at him. "Forget it."
Lou chuckled to see her being upset. Cane probably would think thrice if not ten times to let him be alone with his mate if he heard that.
"Go, we don’t have much time." Lou nudged Iris’s shoulder to go to the bed and be done with this mission.
Iris knew, she then immediately approached Abby, who was still unconscious. She sat down on the edge of the bed and grabbed her hand, as she closed her eyes there was this light that emanated from their clasped hands.
Meanwhile, Lou watched what Iris was doing with eyes that filled with adoration. His infatuation toward her was answered. The reason why he was being very attached to her ever since they met for the first time, because he destined to be with her.
Lou was not sure how to feel about this. He didn’t like to be told what to do, he valued himself so much to the point he didn’t care about someone else’s life, but being with Iris gave him a purpose in his dull life and when he thought about it, his life right now was not that bad.
The merchant didn’t know that he could do so much for someone else like what he had done for her. If someone told him that he would be so helpless against a woman, whose height not even reach his neck, he would have laughed out loud, but not now.
He stared at Iris with dotting eyes.
And when she opened her eyes again, Lou felt like he could see the entire sky and ocean sparked in those beautiful blue eyes.
But then, there was one question; why Cedric didn’t feel the same?
He knew Zale did feel such devotion toward Iris, but he doubted the knight felt it. He remembered how he treated Iris in the beginning.
"Lou, can you help me?" Iris called for him.
She realized she could wake Abby up when she remembered almost the same thing happened in the past, but at that time, it was Iris, who was unconscious. She unintentionally seized the power from Abby, because she was more powerful than her, but Abby couldn’t do the same to Iris, unless the latter gave it to her and that was what she was doing right now.
"What is it?" Lou approached her with light step, as though he was bouncing, instead of walking.
"Can you give me a glass of water, please?"
"I will give you my heart and the world if you wanted them."
Iris rolled her eyes. "No, thanks. A glass of water will be enough."
Lou glanced at Abby, it seemed, he was too preoccupied staring at Iris, until he didn’t realize the Serafim had comeback to her sense. She was awake now and there was no surprise there, since Lou had never doubted Iris at all.
"How are you feeling?" Iris asked Abby. She looked at her groggily.
"Here." Lou gave Iris a glass of water and she helped Abby to drink, but there was something that caught his eyes, which made him left the two women alone to have their conversation.
"Abby, you need to answer my question, this is very important." Iris knew she just woke up, but this was very urgent. She didn’t have time to wait.
"Wh- what happened?"
