Reggie rushes to bring a tray of porridge and drinks for Amy. He is eager to see her face to face to ward off the worry that fills his heart, even though Mike has delivered the news that Amy is fine.
He knocked on the door and opened it without waiting for the confirmation from inside. Amy's smile leaning on the bed greeted her arrival.
"Reggie .. finally ...." Amy opened her arms wide. Reggie immediately put the tray on the nightstand and welcomed his non-girlfriend's embrace. They hugged tightly, no one spoke, but Reggie knew Amy was crying without a sound, her own eyes were already teary.
"I miss you so much." Amy said in her tears. Reggie was silent and did not answer. His own throat felt choked, repeatedly he swallowed saliva to loosen his throat.
"me too. I can finally see you."
The two girls hugged for a long time, crying in silence. Shedding their grief and losing them to each other.
"At least there are still sane people in that family. My father was buried well. They took good care of me even though it kept me locked up in this mansion. What about you, Reggie? Are you all right? They didn't do anything bad to you, did they?"
Reggie shook his head slowly. "Don't worry about me, miss. I'm fine ... Well, I was shot once while trying to escape, but they saved me."
"Foot? By who? Are those Langton guys?" Amy wiped the tears off her cheek, then scanned Reggie's body.
"On calf. I got shot in the calf and not Langton's. They're Jack's hit men."
"Langton's men saved you?" A nod from Reggie's head tells Amy her guess is true.
"They treat you well, don't they?"
Reggie smiled and stood up to pick up the tray of food he was carrying.
"Have a question about me. I'm doing fine. Now you have to eat." Reggie picked up a spoon and started feeding Amy.
Amy according. He opened his mouth and began to finish the breakfast prepared for him.
**********
Adequate care and rest made Amy's condition return quickly. Her pale cheeks had returned hue. The wounds on his head had also started to heal. The girl seemed happy with Reggie accompanying her.
Amy pulls Reggie down from her room and half runs towards the park. Want to tell about the park which was basically designed by his mother.
In a hurry, Amy does not see Mike appearing with some files in his hand. The girl bumped into Mike, causing the bundle of files she was holding to fall. Amy pulled her pull on Reggie, then crouched down to pick up the paper strewn across the floor. Reggie did not move to help, he just looked at the gray eyes that looked back at him.
Mike looked flatly at the black eyes that were looking at him without blinking.
Against me? All right ... let's see who's gonna turn their eyes first. Mike ingrained.
Amy finished picking up the entire file and neatly putting it together. He stands up and hands it to Mike, Derek's right-hand man who always seems to come wherever Derek is. But he stopped and astonishedly looked alternately at Mike and Reggie. The two people were looking sharp, as if they were testing each other.
Amy stepped right in front of Reggie. Deciding on eye contact between the two. He smiled and held out the file in his hand.
"This is your file, sir! " said Amy loudly. Mike picked it up without saying anything, his face flat with no expression.
Amy held her dress to the left and right, then bowed gracefully like a king's daughter while bending one leg.
"I'm sorry, sir. I wasn't careful and ended up bumping into you." After apologizing Amy stood up perfectly again. But the change in Mike's face that he expected didn't happen. The man still had a flat face like that.
"Want advice from me, sir? You better train your smiling face in front of the mirror! So your face can display other expressions besides such a flat face! Like this ...." Amy gave an example with a big smile until two dimples of her cheeks were clearly visible, then she grabbed Reggie's arm that giggled amusedly and pulled him back towards the exit to the park.
Mike was stunned to hear the advice of the little girl, then suddenly he chuckled.
"What the fuck ... the sharp-mouthed little girl," she was amused as she stepped back towards the room where Derek had been waiting for her to discuss their work.
Arriving at the park the two girls sat on a long bench . The rose garden in front of them presents roses that are in bloom beautifully.
Reggie circulated his gaze and realized Amy's words were right.
"You're right. Is this your mother's work?"
Amy nodded. "Yes .. according to Derek, this mansion is where my mother grew up after she was adopted from an orphanage. My mother designed and arranged this garden. You know ... Mamma is the adopted daughter of the Langton family. He broke off his family's relationship by marrying my father who was an enemy of the Langton family." Amy looked at the sky while glaring.
Reggie just shut up. She already knew the whole story from Mother Greta, Amy's mother. They kept it a secret from Amy. Amy's parents feel the less the girl knows the better for her.
"Erland's father Derek was Mamma's eldest adoptive brother, and Jonathan Jack's second father. Derek says that his father Erland loves Mamma very much. But Mamma loved him only as a brother. Mamma only loves dad ...." Amy was still laughing, a few moments later she realized that Reggie was not surprised or win his words.
"You shut up, Reggie. Do you really know this story?" Amy frowned looking at Reggie suspiciously.
Reggie shook his head slowly. Showing a convincing face before speaking.
"No. I just don't know what to say to you after knowing this. That's why I'm silent."
Amy smile. "I feel the same way. Mamma falls in love with her family's nemesis and she chooses to leave this family because it will definitely not be approved. There's a lot of secrets I don't know, Reggie."
Yeah, you're right. More than you can imagine, miss.
Reggie answered in his heart. The secret of his own life was already like a rusty door that could not be opened. He had to hold it alone.
"The man ... Mike .. wasn't he the one who cleaned up the mess in our family mansion back then?" Amy suddenly switched the conversation when she remembered Mike whom she had hit.
"really. He's Derek Langton's right-hand man. I heard before that he was Erland Langton's confidant before Derek took over the family."
"When Derek moved me here, was he the one assigned to watch over you?" Amy asked inquiring. Reggie did not show his astonishment at the question, he just answered and saw where the nonanya question was going.
"really. He locked me up in the Langton family's main mansion. Of course there are a lot of guards watching and waiters ready to see what we're doing."
Amy brought her face to Reggie's ears. He whispered softly.
"That big guy looks dashing, doesn't he?" Amy winks a prank at Reggie who suddenly blushes to hear her whisper. The girl turned her head towards Amy, speechless with a flushed face of embarrassment.
"Ah .. You admit it. Look at your face." Amy chuckles amusedly, she shuts her mouth holding back her loose laugh.
"Your face is as red as a ripe tomato, Reggie." Amy teased him back. Make Reggie tickle him until the brown-haired girl squirms, begging Reggie to stop.
"Oh .. stop. I beg ... I'm sorry. I won't tease you again next time."
Reggie smiled with satisfaction at Amy's words, then both laughed, recalling the times when their laughter was so often heard in every corner of Mansion Sky, the house where they grew up.
Unnoticed by the two girls, above their heads, on the balcony connected to his study, Derek was looking at the two survivors of the massacre in the Sky family. His feelings were troubled to think of the reason why the brown-haired girl with such a beautiful pathetic laughter down there ran away and got lost in the forest. To this day, when the girl is back to health, Derek has no explanation as to why Amy was in the woods. The girl seemed to have no desire to explain everything to Derek.
Mike who was in the room looked at Derek's back who was standing on the edge of the balcony guardrail. He heard the laughter of the two girls who must have been joking down there.
Looks like you've been bewitched by the brown-haired beauty, Derek. Just like your father who was lured to his mother, loved her even to death to pick her up without ever being able to have her ....
