CHAPTER TWELVE
LEWIS
‘He-hello?’ She quietly said. The tone of her voice was filled with uncertainty, and in our connection, I could feel the various emotions that she was feeling in her heart.
She was feeling troubled and nervous. But aside from that, she was excited and was looking forward to hearing my voice.
I blinked once as I realized what was going on. Adelia did not know how to mind link and thus she unintentionally spilled all her thoughts and emotions to me.
‘And here I was just wondering whether she was only pretending to be expressive. It really turns out that her colorful expressions are real… and her face merely shows what she thinks and feels inside,’ I closed my eyes in contemplation. One could use their words and actions to deceive another. This was possible, as anyone could easily control the words that they could say and the actions that they would do. But that was not the case with emotions. One could not tell his heart to be happy when he was sad, like one could not feel melancholy when he was feeling jubilant. Emotions were something that could only be hidden and not controlled. And thus, there were no deceptions and lies in them. ‘Heh. Is she for real?’ I thought as I bit my lower lip to stop my chuckle. It was too late for that, however, because all the officials inside of my house already heard me and were now looking at me with terror in their eyes. I turned my back on them and started walking to the garden.
‘Seems like you are awake,’ I simply told Adelia before I felt new and different emotions that she was feeling through our link.
She was surprised and astonished. More than that, she was feeling some kind of pleasure upon hearing my voice. I stopped my track for the second time that day. ‘His voice… seems to envelop my entire body,’ I heard her thoughts. ‘It’s like that feeling… when he was hugging me…’ She started feeling embarrassed.
