Chapter 77: making it difficult for the devil
Zuri POV
"King Zuri! Are you alright?"
Emily seemed genuinely interested in my wellbeing. It was strange…too strange.
"I am not the one the physician came to check on. What were you thinking when you jumped into an icy pool, kid?" I barely stopped myself from yelling.
"You were under water too long. I thought you were drowning or worse, dead. Didn't you hear me yell your name? What the hell is wrong with you, Zuri?"
"Why do you care, Emily? Please, don't tell me you are buying into this fantasy that we are supposed to look after each other because we share something as mundane as blood?! So, I ask again, what the hell were you thinking? And for your information, I wasn't drowning and let's face it, even though I was, your life would be much better if I am dead….so, why?"I asked her.
