The Villain's Little Cat

263 Blood Stained Hands <9>

Regret?

Kate didn’t know whether she would regret her action or not. At this time, she was not feeling that way, but she didn’t know how she would feel in the future.

After all, she had inevitably ended the lives of so many people.

It was something that she had never done before. Something that she had never even considered doing in her entire life before.

If not because of the change of the world and the appearance of these giant mutated animals, Kate knew that her life trajectory would be completely different. But what was the use of her moping around?

It would not change anything.

Kate sorted out her emotions and thoughts as best as possible. She raised her face and saw Kyle was still staring in her direction. Looking at Kyle’s concerned face, Kate felt a bit guilty.

“Sorry.”

“You don’t have to apologize. It’s not your fault that those sick people are trying to use you.” Kyle was trying his best to keep his composure, but his fingers were clenched into a fist. He looked at Kate with a complicated expression.

.....

He could… erase her memory.

Not exactly erasing, but it was more like make her fall into illusion that everything had never happened. That way, she would never remember about this anymore.

He just wanted her to live freely without the need to see the dark and depravity of the world.

He wanted her to just be the cheerful and somewhat na?ve young woman from before.

There was no need for her to burden herself with these things.

Let him be the one to handle it all for her.

Kate looked at Kyle and raised her hand, lightly held his cheek. “Sorry that I stay too far away from you. I should have known that I’m not strong enough to move independently.”

Back then, all Kate wanted was to make sure that no one would target them, but now she felt that it was so stupid. She was staying a bit too far for Kyle to reach in that chaotic scene, putting her own life in danger.

She was not strong enough to protect herself on her own.

She should have known that from the very beginning. Even though she had already tempered herself to adapt to this world filled with giant mutated animals, she was still very weak.

In many areas, she was not strong enough to handle it on her own.

“Don’t do it again.” Kyle took a deep breath. “Ok?”

“Yeah.” Kate nodded and then looked at Kyle’s hand. She could sense the faint mental fluctuation. Because she could technically also use Kyle’s element, she faintly realized that it was the illusion element that Kyle had.

Illusion?

Kate’s thoughts whirled when she realized that and quickly understood what Kyle wanted to do.

She looked up at Kyle. “Do you want to hypnotize me?”

Kyle looked at Kate deeply. “I don’t want you to remember these experiences again and just stay by my side. I don’t care what form you took, be it a cat, human, or even a child, just stay by my side, ok?”

His voice was not as calm as his usual tone. It even contained a hint of pleading that could not be heard from him before. Right now, he just hoped that she would stay by his side, stay safe and… if possible, be happy.

Kate stared at Kyle blankly. Truthfully, she didn’t remember the scene back then clearly. She only remembered that she was full of rage and disappointment. With her mind was already on the verge of exhaustion, she could only focus on protecting Lucy and the other people who were outside those metal walls while activating the reverse healing.

Because she knew that no matter what, she could never hurt these friends of hers. They were all the people who had been with her for so many days, helping and covering each other in the face of danger.

Even if she were to use her reverse healing abilities towards other humans, she will never allow herself to hurt them.

Kate took a deep breath. She looked down at her hand. “My hands had been stained with the blood of a lot of people. Do you think that it’s possible for me to return to City E?”

“If you can’t stay there, I’ll follow you wherever you go, ok?” Kyle asked again.

“But that’s…”

“Ssh, at least, let me be by your side, ok?” Kyle looked at Kate seriously. He could see the hint of worry and hesitation within her expression. Being a young woman who didn’t know much about the society, he knew that Kate had been living a protected life.

While she was not stupid, she lacked experience.

This made her unable to truly be ready when facing many things of the world.

“No matter what you have done before, I’ll stay by your side. If you don’t let me stay by your side, I’ll follow you from behind and watched over you.” Kyle would never let Kate be alone.

No matter the method, he will never leave her alone.

Kate looked at Kyle blankly as his words registered to her mind. At this moment, she definitely couldn’t ignore the thoughts that had been sprouting inside her mind.

“Why do you want to stay with me so much?” Kate felt her heart was beating so fast, but she still tried to ask the question. Her cheek reddened a bit.

She might be slow because she never thought in that direction before. But after Kyle told her that he knew that she’s his student, his doting and pampered action made her start to think in another direction. She just didn’t dare to delve deeper before in fear that she made the wrong conclusion and destroyed their relationship.

After all, they were bound by the blood contract and would have to spend the rest of their lives with being connected to each other. If their relationship ended up being awkward, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Kyle looked at Kate’s shy look and slowly leaned in, planting a kiss on her cheek. His movement was slow and gentle as if he was treating the most precious treasure in the world.

Kate couldn’t react, but her face reddened even worse.

Watching as Kyle distanced himself, she could hear his hoarse voice replying, “What do you think? My motives have never been pure and I’ll never let you go.”
