Chapter 982 My Beautiful Monster Part 83

SUMIRE

The next few hours go by in a blur. Lucifer never stopped drinking from her. Toh stayed with her the entire time and eventually Jacks returned to the room. Jacks walked over glancing over at Lucifer worriedly.

"Is he fine?" Jacks asked.

Sumire nodded. "The colour is returning to his face."

"But now you look really pale."

"I'm fine." Sumire said. "That person-"

Jacks paused. "I sent him away. He is one of Lucifer's partners."

So, one of the leaders of the organisation? Why is Lucifer working with such a dangerous person? Before she could ask Jacks more questions, she hears a familiar voice.

"My heart?" Lucifer said.

Oh, his voice sounds normal.

"How are you feel--" Sumire paused when she felt her vision blur. She swayed to the side.

Lucifer catches her immediately. "I apologize. How long have I been drinking?"

"A few hours." Sumire managed

Lucifer scooped her up in his arms and stood up. "I will take you to our chambers."

"Lucifer, put me down. You need to get your wounds looked at--"

"Your blood has helped me regain energy, and closed off the serious wounds."

Sumire couldn't believe him right away. Even if he has repeatedly told her that her blood helps him. She doesn't understand it very well. She wants to inspect his wounds further.

"I'll carry her. You're still unsteady." Toh offered.

Lucifer sighed but nodded as he passed her to Toh. The moment she was in Toh's arms, Sumire immediately felt nervous. Although he has been staying by her side since Lucifer left. She can't help feeling a bit self-conscious around him, especially since she learned of the feelings he still has for her.

Toh gently parts her hair and she felt him place reassuring strokes on her arm. Should he really be doing that when Lucifer is around?

"Has everything been okay here? No attacks?" Lucifer asked.

Toh nodded. "There was some odd activity by the gardens the other day but I dealt with it."

"Good."

'Is that why he told me to leave the gardens?' Toh acts so casually about everything. Unlike Lucifer whose expression hardens when there is danger. Toh is always so calm.

"So? How did you get like this?" Toh asked as they exited the throne room.

"Aki."

'That name...'

Throb.

Throb.

Again huh? That man from earlier, and now 'Aki.' Perhaps it is time she confronts Lucifer about her memories after all. If she keeps getting triggered every time a name is mentioned, then her health will get worse.

"He--attacked you? But how?" Toh said with a frown.

"He has darkness. Darkness that I've never seen before. It was truly intriguing. Had I not been fighting for my life, I would have examined him more."

Toh shakes his head. "That's bad. If he can fight you, then the plan--"

Lucifer paused. "It'll be fine. I have a secret weapon."

Toh frowns. "You need to tell me what that is." He sighed deeply. "I managed everything this time. But, everyone is getting restless. Your absence has been noticed."

Lucifer sighs. "I understand. I'll take over."

"Was it really Aki? I know you told me about the darkness but, you said it yourself. That he doesn't have control of it yet."

Lucifer chuckled. "Will you believe me if I tell you there is something else, another soul in Aki's body and that's what attacked me?"

Toh paused and nodded. "At this stage boss, you can tell me anything and I don't even need to analyze all the facts to know that you're telling the truth."

"I told you about him before, didn't I? About that person?"

'That person?' Sumire tilted her head curiously.

"You mean, 'Lennon?'" Toh said.

After Toh said that name, her body tensed due to a sudden fear. Her face broke out into sweat and her body trembled. Who? Who is that person? Why is she reacting like this?

Lucifer must have realized since he turns his attention to her and brought his lips to hers, as he takes her from Toh.

"Jacks." Lucifer called out. "Go with Toh."

"Are you sure? Luci--I mean my Lord you don't look--"

Lucifer nodded.

Sumire turned her head and raised her hand to wave Jacks goodbye.

Jacks smiled softly. "Take care Sumire."

With those words, she watched her friend leave and turned her attention back to her husband. He was silent on their way to the room but she kept herself occupied staring and occasionally caressing his cheek.

Lucifer finally spoke up when they returned to their room. He placed her on the bed. "I shall take a quick bath. Wait for me."

Sumire paused. It will probably be difficult for him to bathe properly with those injuries. She tugged on his sleeve.

"Can I join you?"

Lucifer smirked. "Of course." He picks her up again and they headed to the bathing chamber. Once inside, Lucifer snapped his fingers and the water from the shower turned on soaking them both. The blood from Lucifer's garments turned the colour of the water into red.

"L-Lucifer-" Sumire stammered cheeks colouring. "We should remove our clothes-"

"Husband." Lucifer corrected as he removed her gown.

Why did he focus on her clothes first? Lucifer smirked and bit her ear.

"My husband." Sumire mumbled. "I really am concerned about your injuries.."nove-lb(1n

"It will heal. Besides, I don't feel pain."

"You don't? But you're covered in blood and wounds."

"The curse prevents me from feeling pain. Even if I get severely hurt, I will not feel it." Lucifer explained.

Sumire frowns at those words. That's not necessarily a good thing. It means if he suffers a life threatening injury, he won't know. He won't know when he is about to die. The thought frightened her more than anything.

"Are you still hungry?" Sumire asked, noticing his gaze on her.

"Not for your blood." Lucifer smirked. "But your body, my heart."

"I-I think you should rest." Sumire stammered.

"I haven't touched you in days, and I suffered a life threatening ordeal."

"You just did in the throne room." Sumire pointed out.

"We were interrupted."

So, if Toh didn't enter the room, he would have continued?

"I-"

"Do you not want me wife?" Lucifer asked.

"Of course I want you!! But you're hurt." Sumire protested.

She wants him. She's been aching with need for days, and his playful teasing through their bond hasn't helped. But, isn't it wrong to do this when he is injured?

"I only need you." Lucifer said and his lips are on hers in seconds.
