She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 236

Not that Scar wants to admit it, but this jerk has a really nice voice. Instead of the cleanness Alice’s cute clear child’s voice brings the lullaby, his hoarse voice gives it a more secure feeling. Magically, the manly power embedded in such a soft song somehow makes it more comforting.

Maybe that’s what the power a lullaby should have – the safety provided by parents.

“Hey, how are you feeling, little one?” Damian taps Scar’s chin with a hooked finger ever so gently, and his voice echoes with something deeply hidden in Scar’s memory, as if there was once a little boy whose voice shares only the tiniest bit feature of Damian’s voice but the exact same tone when he looked down on her just like this and called her “little one”.

The episode is over, but Scar’s eyes remain wide open like a scared animal as too many memories and questions squeeze into her head trying to escape. The first one successfully barging out is—

“Who told you to use this song on me!”

Alice? Lilith? They both know about this, but at the same time, Scar doubts that any one of them would have had the chance to mention this to Damian when he is the last man on earth that Lilith would talk to. The last time Scar knew, Damian only tried to talk to Alice, and that was through hardship risking being arrested for kidnapping in a public park.

Who else knows? Silco.

Could Silco have told Damian? No. Silco knew Damian only as a famous face on the news. Besides, they didn’t exactly feel close enough to exchange such private information.

Anyone else? Some of the medical team Silco pulled together for Scar, but they all signed a strict confidentiality agreement on anything regarding her condition.

So how did Damian know how to help her?! To take the right method without even a second’s hesitation?!! She wouldn’t believe that’s a coincidence in a million years!

“Form your next sentence wisely, Vanderbilt! How did you know how to help me?” Scar warns, glaring at Damian as all sorts of dark thoughts pass through her mind. Has he gotten through her medical team with money? Has he been following her or monitoring her? How much else does he know about her dark years?!

“I have a friend who suffered through a period of panic attacks!” Damian raises both his hands, explaining with a scared look at Scar’s sudden change of tone, “When I saw you on the ground, I just assumed it was because it was exactly how my friend’s episodes looked!”

“Yeah, sure, it’s a panic attack, but that’s not what I was asking! Why did you sing me that song?!”
