Hearing that, John becomes furious. He dislikes Rory to say a good word for Anson.
"Rory, are you enchanted by Miya? How can you be on her side? I'm telling you that, no matter what happens, I won't save her." Even John himself doesn't know why he hates Miya so much.
However, John's words get Anson desperate. He can't stand that Miya will die. It seems that he then is anxious and desperate enough to kill John.
"John, you'll pay for what you've said. If Miya dies because you don't save her, then I will seek revenge on you definitely." Anson's dark eyes are about to emit the flame of hatred, which scares Rory who is standing not afar. Rory feels that the two men get angry because of the same woman.
In the end, Anson snorts angrily and leaves.
John is a bit unhappy. Why does he suffer such tribulations?
Seeing Anson leave, Rory can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But soon, John's behavior worries Rory. She has never seen John rages like that before. John keeps gentle and docile, like a sheep. Besides, he cares for her all the time. But today, Rory realizes that John can also be fussy and fierce.
Seeing Rory who is still in a daze, John puts himself together.
"How is it? Are you OK?" John walks up to Rory and asks with concern. Then he begins to check to see if something is wrong with Rory. However, Rory looks at him with her eyes filled with confusion.
John gets unaccustomed to Rory's gaze. "Why are you looking at with such eyes all of a sudden?"
"I feel like you've changed totally today."
Indeed, John's sudden change scares her a little. Then John reveals an amiable smile and pets her, "Silly girl, don't you overthink this?"
'I hope so.' Rory says to herself.
"I have a question." Then Rory speaks with her tone full of caution. She does afraid that John will be angry at her for her question. The scene John gets angry is too terrifying.
Though they stay together every day now, Rory has to admit that there is a long distance between her heart and that of John. And she never knows what is in John's mind.
Originally, Rory wants John to be with her, but she realizes today that something is wrong with John. John seems to change another person since Miya appears. And Miya can affect John emotionally. In other words, only when Miya appears will John be "alive" and have a soul. Before, though John keeps docile, he has no sorrow or happiness. Probably, John himself doesn't even know about this.
