10. doubt, or worry.
" what's your name? " asked chris.
The girl was shocked as if she couldn't believe what she just heard. she then sighed for a moment, then introduced herself.
" my name is... Chloe aelyn. daughter of Robert von Aelyn "
" ( I knew it. she is Chloe Aelyn. The girl who was reported to have been involved in the Veronica virus experiment. ) well. i guest i owe you one, chloe... "
just as chris stood up, he saw the reaction of chloe's hand. her hands were bleeding on their own. And suddenly Chloe couldn't stand the pain. And oddly enough, Chris also felt a reaction as the blood on Chloe's hand slowly dripped down.
" sir... you must stay away from me... I can't bear the pain of this blood... " said chloe who kept moaning in pain.
" calm down, Chloe... " said chris who forced himself.
" no... stay away from me... "
chloe, who was scared trying to stay away from chris.
" I don't want to hurt anyone with this blood. stay away... "
her fear seemed to have disappeared as soon as chris managed to force himself to come closer and calm chloe.
" calm down, chloe. it's not your fault. " said chris.
-----
" i know it's hard for you. listen to me. it's not your fault. I just want to see you heal and happy again... goodbye, my little chloe. protect my daughter, ryan. "
-----
Again, that words reminded her of the time when she had been injected with the Veronica virus. and also the moment where ryan takes chloe away to a safe place.
for chloe, it was a very painful memory and hard to forget.
" father. " said chloe who was crying
while she was crying, chris still hugged chloe. For him, Chloe's cry had reminded him of Claire's.
" you ok? " asked chris.
" yes. thank you. i feel calm now. " she said.
along with her calm feelings, Chloe's hand which was bleeding suddenly stopped. Strangely, Chris' pain also disappeared when Chloe calmed down. it had made chris pause as he thought about the report.
" chloe.. "
" yes. "
Unfortunately...
" ( someone's here. ) chloe. HIDE... " said chris.
without thinking, chloe looked for a place to hide. while chris took his weapon even though all he had right now was a dagger.
