Past Body vs. Present Body
"If a single ant can already cause pain, imagine a swarm of ants biting you at the same time." Lu Zihao's amusement turned into restrained menace. "They may not be on your level, my dear Evelinka, but if you aren't careful enough, those lowlifes as you call them, will be able to find a way to hurt you and your loved ones. Not including me, of course."
Iris' fierce expression transformed into that of exhaustion. She let the rest of her body fall to the couch into a lying position. "I get it, Big Brother."
"Good." The menace disappeared and turned into his usual devilish smile. "Be more careful, more cautious, and take more precautions. Your man is doing his part in protecting you by tightening security. I'll also provide assistance in any way possible. But what if all safety measure fails and neither your man nor I could get to you in time? The best defence starts with one's self. You must be the best person to protect yourself and the babies inside you."
