Loid smiled. He pulled Lily closer and tousled her hair gently. "Is it working?"
If seducing her worked, then he wouldn't need to be jealous of other men. He really did not like that feeling.
Lily folded her arms, her eyes twinkling mischievously. "Maybe it is."
Then, she grabbed a white shirt and went back into the bathroom to get dressed.
The amusement in Loid's eyes deepened. Without another word, he left the room and went to the other bathroom to shower.
Lily was still up when he returned. She was scrolling on her phone, looking for something. Loid walked closer and glanced at her phone.
"You're looking for Redushil?" he asked in surprise.
Lily looked up. "You know about Redushil?"
"I've heard of it." Loid poured two glasses of water and handed one to Lily. "I think the Weiss family has some."
Lily nodded. "Yeah. They do."
"Why are you looking for Redushil?" Loid took a sip from his glass as he sat beside Lily.
"For the antidote." Lily put away her phone, her spirits down. "I need Redushil to make the antidote for Mindshroud poison. But the Weiss family only has enough for one dose…"
Loid paused. They only had one dose? Did that mean that Lily would only be able to save one person? Was she deliberating between Belinda and Jason?
Loid glanced sideways at her. She was expressionless. There was no sign of dilemma on her face. She had always hidden herself and her emotions well. If only she would show him some weakness…
With that thought, Loid reached out and took her hand. "Save Grandma first," he said gently.
