In fact, Jude didn’t want to expose Satan’s lie because she didn’t want to leave him. After all, she thought they could be together for as long as she ignored the truth and let it stay hidden, only to be surprised that the matter came to light sooner than she thought. She then stood up and helped Satan stand on his feet.
While Satan was approximately ten steps away from his wheelchair, Jude set her eyes on it and excitedly exclaimed, “This is awesome, Satan! You can walk! You can walk!” Deep down, she didn’t want to expose his lie by showing she had already known that.
In the meantime, Satan only remained emotionless as Jude helped him back to his wheelchair. “I’m tired.” The man then walked into the elevator with Jude right behind him. Upon walking him back into his bedroom, she silently retreated and left him alone until they met again later that night.
During dinner, Hades was absent, leaving the two of them as the atmosphere was filled with silence so oppressive that Jude didn’t feel comfortable about it at all. “I haven’t had this in a while. Hmm. This is delicious, Satan. You should try it.” She acted as if she didn’t know about the incident that just happened, not mentioning a single word about it.
Satan took a sip of the soup and said, “Hmm. Delicious indeed!”
“See? I told you! This soup is simply amazing!” Jude continued to happily enjoy her soup.
“I’ve already booked an air ticket for you. Your flight is tomorrow.”
Stunned by Satan’s words, Jude froze with the spoon just inches away from her mouth for a second before she continued to sip it. “Okay,” she bitterly smiled and replied.
