Chapter 1461: Chapter 1461: Finale Part 9
But later, it felt wrong; how could someone like Shadow, who was so cold and indifferent to appearance, inexplicably wear an eyepatch on his face to look cool?
She had a sense of foreboding.
"It’s none of your business," Shadow said coldly.
But in the next second, a white hand unexpectedly reached out towards him; he hadn’t anticipated that she would make such a move and was suddenly stunned and rigid.
And that jade-like hand had already touched his eyepatch, abruptly tearing it off.
Revealing that ugly and horrifying empty eye socket; on such a delicate and clean face, it looked especially terrifying and distorted, like ripping apart a perfect work of art.
Ye Lu’s breath was halted, her eyes widened, and she instinctively took a step back.
She looked at his gouged-out left eye in disbelief, her heart trembling, and the fingers gripping the eyepatch couldn’t help but tighten and spasm.
"Are you very scared?" Shadow snatched back the eyepatch from her hand, turning his face away coldly.
Just now, when she tore off his eyepatch, with his strength, he had the chance to knock her hand away or even kill her, which would have only taken a second.
But as if driven by fate, he didn’t stop her.
Perhaps he also wanted to see what kind of expression she would show; he wasn’t expecting anything, he just, he just hoped...
Ha, actually, he himself didn’t know what he hoped for.
But seeing her retreating steps, that frightened look in her eyes, suddenly made him feel bad inside.
"Why is it like this?" Ye Lu asked in a trembling voice.
Shadow instantly regained his cold demeanor: "What does it have to do with you? Don’t meddle in other people’s affairs."
"It was him who dug it out, wasn’t it!" Ye Lu’s eyes burned with fury, her voice suddenly angry.
She recalled some things; since he was ordered to approach him but failed in the end, given the nature of the Godfather, punishment was inevitable.
But unexpectedly, for a mere failed mission, the Godfather actually gouged out his eye, so cruel and inhumane, not treating Shadow as a person; even to a dog, one wouldn’t be so cruel.
The matter made her feel uneasy, and it was connected to her.
Actually, when Shadow was lurking around her for so long, there were many chances to harm her, but in the end, he didn’t.
She didn’t know what he was thinking at that time.
She had sympathized with him and taken him in, but later he betrayed her trust, which made her detest him.
Yet at this moment, looking at this person, she felt very uncomfortable, felt she was mistaken.
What should she blame him for? He was just like Jun Huang, pitiable and pathetic, controlled by the Godfather, whose cruelty and viciousness were visible in Jun Huang’s past injuries.
And Shadow, from a young age to now, what kind of life did he live? Probably like living in hell; a single failed mission was enough to take away his eye, it’s unbelievable to imagine how much suffering he endured.
How could one bear to blame someone like this?
"I’m sorry, I take back what I said earlier; you’re not the most disgusting person."
Shadow’s heart jolted, unexpectedly looking at her.
Yet felt a warm hand landing on his ugly eyelid, gently trembling as it caressed his eye, that thread of tender warmth made him stiff and trembling.
His heart seemed to crack open, with an indescribable tremor.
"Shadow, you’re just a pitiful person too. I hope that one day, you can live for yourself and truly feel the taste of happiness!"
Ye Lu withdrew her hand and turned to leave.
Shadow lowered his gaze, with the warmth from the palm of her hand still lingering at the corner of his eye, this strange feeling was something no one ever dared to touch him with before.
