Cold Man And Miss Stone
18. Feeling Guilty [REVISED]

It was late afternoon when Samuel knocked on the door of Ema's room. She thought it was locked, but it opened when Samuel pushed her.

Still sleeping.

He has looked weaker since coming here. Like not being excited, tired and pathetic.

Logically, he may still find it difficult to adapt. Moreover, the situation around them was also bad, so Samuel understood if he might consider his village much more comfortable than this place.

"Ema."

Samuel approached him carefully. Seeing Ema's breath seem heavy and tight. Just as Samuel touched the girl's forehead, it dawned on him that now he was really sick.

Heh. He came at Samuel's request, so if he was sick, it was clearly Samuel's responsibility.

"Ema, wakeup. Eat this." Samuel patted his arm but got no response. "Ema, wake up first."

Should he let her sleep?

Samuel sighed faintly. Sitting near the carpet where Emilia lay, placed a plate of food on the table.

Idrus and Seline, Samuel felt it was somebody's doing. Someone who does it with a certain purpose and it feels like there will still be more.

But who, why, and how?

Samuel had already ordered Ryo to take care of the incident, but his men gave a faint hint that there was an oddity that was hard to find.

Like .... like something gets in the way of the most important part of it.

So even though Samuel felt that Ema was doing something, it was still hard to be sure. Because how can it?

Must be someone as strong as Argantana who can tamper with this dangerous game.

What can this village girl do? She now has a fever because she forgot to eat and has a cold.

Samuel did not care about the fate of the Ahkams. He can also protect himself. But still not knowing anything is a fatal weakness.

"I feel a little guilty for you." Samuel patted Ema on the forehead.

Shifted to look at his hand that looked very rough to the size of a woman to Samuel.

Some corners of his skin were flaking and dry rough.

It bothered Samuel to think that he was the one who brought Ema, and then forced to face all the ridiculous things in this house.

Samuel thinks he better get out.

Her eyes were quiet, waiting for some time until Ema woke up.

"What's wrong?" ask him flat.

Let's take him away from this place first, as much as possible.

Emilia had been conscious ever since Samuel came in. Or actually he was waiting for the man to come, not for food, but to see.

It still felt vaguely suspicious, but he was confused and began to dissolve in the game of Emilia.

That nice. Especially when he says he's coming out tomorrow.

Coincidentally. Emilia also had to go out to freely meet Mutia and Darto who were waiting for the next order.

As soon as Samuel left, Emilia glanced at the food near the bed. Taken the plate, went back into the bathroom to throw it away.

Emilia looked at the look on her face in the mirror. A little smiling realized that she was already very pale and sick, which meant that now Emilia was already very weak in Samuel's eyes.

He is dangerous anyway. He was the closest person to Emilia in this house, so the first person to be tricked was him.

After succeeding, Emilia is free to direct where the game is.

"You want to take him?"

"I can't leave Ema alone. You understand."

"It just doesn't make sense that you're taking this shabby person to an important event! You forgot or pretended not to remember your public figure? You're a singer, Sam! Your life is highlighted all-out and you want to show off keeping a dirty cat like her?!"

Samuel clucked in annoyance. "Nina, I told you to stop talking rude."

"Then stop making me want to talk rudely!"

Then can they stop arguing in Emilia's room?

Why should it always be here when there is a large place for them to roll around?

I will never know the mind of a person without reason, Emilia sighed in her heart.

Pretending to be busy folding the clothes that he will put in the bag.

Going by what Samuel meant was not just going to work a few hours. They will fly to Lombok, where Samuel will perform on the beach.

It was a bit too far in fact, but Emilia obviously could not say no.
