Hugo hurriedly came back. He had forgotten the things that he still wanted to buy. What matters to him now was that he had to know what happened to them, and who among the two of them woke up.
Looking around, Hugo went to the nearest bathroom. He went to the highest floor, knowing that there were lesser people in that area.
Teleporting right inside their house, Hugo was relieved when he saw that there was no one in the living room. He didn't know if he could reveal his powers to Jimon, so he was still taking precautions.
'But, didn't Thalia say that they will be my ally? If that is the case, then I think it's not a big deal if I were to show them my powers.' Tilting his head to the side, he placed all the paper bags on the floor.
He had to make sure that the door was locked and that the curtains were all covering the windows. If he will guess it, it seems like Hendrix had already cast a spell surrounding the whole house.
Now it was much safer to move.
Hugo walked upstairs. He didn't know what to expect. He was rather shocked when he saw that all of them were wide awake already. It was awkward for Hugo as he opened the door widely.
He could feel the eyes of them coming in his way. He smiled warily as he entered. Hendrix immediately came closer to him. It was evident that he had become very happy currently.
"Shoo," Hugo tried to dodge Hendrix's hands coming into his shoulders. "Get off me," he glared in his direction.
However, Hendrix disregarded it. "This will be your other Master, Hugo." He introduces him to them.
Truth to be told, before he informed Hugo about it, the four of them already had a conversation. He already made them drink the golden liquid and so far, everything was doing fine.
The two women who have just woken up stood up just like Jimon did earlier. They knelt on the ground and placed their right hand on their chest.
"Master," both of them said in unison.
Hugo didn't know how to react. He smiled at them and made them stand up. "What is your name?" he asked them curiously since he does not know what to call them.
He could distinguish the two of them from each other right away. The woman who has the grayish-white hair and golden eyes was the person that he saw in the room in the hospital. She was the Patient XIV.
While the other one who has blonde hair and a set of green eyes. She looked older than Hugo. Hugo assumed that she has the same age as Hendrix.
Grinning, he glanced over at Hendrix. 'Since I am a good friend, then you should probably experience how to get laid in this world.' His grin became wider when he saw that Hendrix's forehead creased.
"What are you thinking?" Hendrix asked Hugo as he get away from his body. The grin on his face was telling him something different. It was as if Hugo had evil thoughts in his mind.
"Nothing," Hugo shrugged his shoulder. He turned his head back to the two women who have been waiting patiently in front of them.
"My name is Alliyah," The woman with the grayish-white hair answered. She smiled sweetly at Hugo before bowing down.
Hugo grinned as he secretly surveyed his eyes toward Alliyah's body. Alliyah, undoubtedly, has big mountains. It was evident in the clothes that she was wearing. She has a slender body and an hourglass figure.
Alliyah has soft features. Her heart-shaped lips that were red like a rose caught Hugo's attention. At first glance, you would think that Alliyah looked like she was a piece of glass that could break easily.
She was like a fragile woman that needs to be taken care of.
"And I am Natalie," the second woman introduced herself. Natalie and Alliyah looked very similar to each other. It was just that Alliyah's skin was fairer than Natalie, who has porcelain skin.
"Alliyah… Natalie… You two have a very nice name." He complimented them unconsciously.
Alliyah's eyes slightly widened as she slightly bowed her head. She silently cleared her throat. She could feel that her cheeks lightly blushed with what Hugo uttered.
It was her first time receiving a compliment for her name.
She secretly glanced at Hugo. 'Why am I feeling like this?' Her forehead formed a straight line. She could feel the beating of her heart getting faster than normal.
She tried to remove him in her thoughts. Alliyah looked at her side. She saw that Natalie was looking at Hendrix.
A sigh of relief came out of her lips. 'It seems like Natalie likes Hendrix…" It was as if a big weight from her chest had come off. 'Why do I feel happy with that thought?'
"May I know what happened to the two of you and how did you become an experimental subject for them?" Hugo warily asked. He does not want to pressure them in saying the things that have been a trauma for the two of them.
Alliyah couldn't help but feel anxious about the question. When Hugo saw it, he smiled to console her. "Don't worry, I won't force you to say anything." His words came out soft that it gladly calmed her heart.
Hugo knew what Alliyah experienced at the hands of those assholes. He had seen her state in the room. It was much more than what the other two had experienced.
But, of course, he just couldn't ignore Natalie.
He has been eyeing the two women since earlier. It seems like Alliyah has taken a liking to him and Natalie on Hendrix.
Hugo looked at his side. He saw that Hendrix was leaning against the wall as if he was looking at an interesting movie.
"Hendrix can you take Natalie out? Ask her about what happened."
Hendrix nodded as he fixed the way he stood up. He went closer to Natalie, offering his hands to her.
"May I, My Lady?" He asked as he stared deeply into her eyes.
Hugo does not know if he will laugh at the way Hendrix approached Natalie. He knew that it was just a regular act of Hendrix, but it seems like it came out wrong for Natalie, whose face became flushed.
"S-Sure," Natalie stuttered. She took Hendrix's hands. Her eyes widened when Hendrix kissed the back of her palms. Her throat became dry as he shook off any feelings that were starting to form in her heart.
"You two can come down after your talk." Hendrix smiled as he opened the door. "Come with us Jimon," his brows shot up when he saw that Jimon had no plans to move.
Jimon scratched the back of his head as he quickly stood up. He was enjoying the softness of the bed when Hendrix called him.
Despite his age, because of Thalia's blessing, he was able to move freely without his bones aching.
When Hugo and Alliyah were left alone, silence surrounded the both of them.
Hugo closed the door, he wished that there will be an improvement in Alliyah. But of course, he wouldn't force her to say anything.
After all, what she had experienced was truly cruel.
"Hi Alliyah," Hugo smiled at her.
"Hello," Alliyah answered. Her feet became unmoving as Hugo went forward in her direction.
'I couldn't move… Is this because of the experiment too?' She asked himself when Hugo's hands touched her shoulders.
She thought that she will be scared by his touch, but it was the opposite. Even though Hugo's hands were rough, it was warm. It was calming down his anxiously beating heart.
'Right… This must be because I was held unto that room that my body became like this.' She holds her breath.
Hugo guided Alliyah in the bed. He was being careful about touching her. He didn't want for her to think differently about him.
'They said that the first impression lasts, so I gotta make sure that she wouldn't think that I am weird,' Hugo thought.
When Alliyah successfully sat down, he grabbed the chair that he had previously sat on and placed it in front of the bed.
He made sure that there was a distance between them.
"Are you okay with this space?" he asked her.
Alliyah was surprised by Hugo's question. It was the first time for someone to ask about such things. She couldn't help but nod her head.
"Yes. This is fine." She couldn't stop her lips from smiling. There was no doubt that the way Hugo talks to her was relaxing.
She was starting to get comfortable around him that she had found the courage to say what truly happened before she was held captive.
"I know that this may bring bad memories to you, but I really need to know what happened back then." Hugo sighed.
Alliyah shook her head. "I understand." She answered as she placed her hands together.
"It started last 2 months ago…"
