"So, that’s what happened," Lola murmured, propping herself up on one arm against the bed.
After the doctors checked on him, they reassured her that his vitals were stable. As for the code blue, it was Atlas who had pushed the button when he woke up and didn’t see Lola. He wanted to see her as soon as possible, but he couldn’t shout.
Since they left the couple alone, Atlas had been explaining what happened to her. She had heard snippets of it from Allen, but with everything going on, she hadn’t focused on it.
"That guy came, huh?" she whispered, shaking her head. "He really is weird."
She snapped her eyes at him. "That silver-eyed trash was the one who left me the antidote. Oh—actually, it was the little girl."
"Little girl?"
"Mhm. They injected something into me that paralyzed me from the waist down," she huffed, almost as if complaining. "So I didn’t have a choice but to listen to the cardinal’s nonsense. Do you believe the guy lived four lifetimes? Living two lives is already too much, but four?"
She let out a short laugh. "I couldn’t help but wonder what in the world the heavens were thinking, giving him four extra lives. Is he half-feline or what? If only I had gotten him good in that chapel, this wouldn’t have happened."
But then again, no one could blame her.
If anything, it was already impressive that she had almost ended the cardinal despite being paralyzed from the waist down. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t have even come close.
"But good thing that girl left the antidote, and that silver-eyed trash pretended not to see it," she added with a deep exhale. "Otherwise, I don’t know what would’ve happened. After all, when we escaped, I saw people rushing to where I was taken."
Atlas listened, but his mind lingered on her earlier words. "Four lifetimes?"
"Mhm." She nodded. "Right, I haven’t explained it to you yet, have I?"
She cleared her throat and shifted away slightly, creating space between them as she recounted all the nonsense the cardinal had spewed. Although Lola didn’t fully believe it, there was no harm in taking it with a grain of salt.
That level of madness had to be fueled by an equal level of insanity.
"Whether I believe him or not... he’s still outrageous," she muttered with a shallow sigh. "Or rather, if it’s true that he lived four lifetimes, that just makes him ten times worse. How could he play with people’s lives like that? No matter what, people are people—with stories of their own, pain, memories, goals... a life."
She pressed her lips into a thin line, frustration creeping in.
