Chapter 77 The Gift
"I have a gift for you, so that the past never repeats itself."
Chris gently hugged her and whispered, pulling out a round object from his pockets and showing it to her. Of course, he was intelligent enough to keep the pill hidden from others eyes.
After all, an Awakening Pill was not an commodity any Tom, Dick or Harry can carry on their pockets.
"You want to be strong, right?"
"Yes." Cathy nodded resolutely to Chris's words, taking the smooth red coloured pill in her smooth palms.
But, soon many other foot steps began to approach towards them and Chris smiled, "Later." and tucked the pill back into his pockets.
"Sister! Are you fine???" Cassie ran and hugged Cathy's body as she questioned in a hurried and worried tone.
"Cathy?" Max asked as well.
"Mm. I am fine now." Cathy murmered in a low voice and seperated from Chris as she looked the new arrivals.
Cassie, Maximus, Arthur, Agatha, Sia and also Janet- the hot chef.
Janet was usually not much talkative as she usually spent her time in kitchen and her room, so seeing her present today was quite unexpected.
Cathy looked at them and rolled her eyes, ignoring them nonchalantly as she walked back into the room.
Chris sighed and followed behind her, followed by the rest as well. They all reached into the trashed room, the beautiful lamps were overturned, several shards of glass crunching under Chris's home floaters while the room looked like a crime scene straight out of the movie, lacking the blood of course.
But Cathy ignored their looks and hid under the blankets.
"Sigh, Aunt Agatha, please take care of this." Chris sighed asked politely, his parents had taught him to be respectful to the elders, and he had zero intention to ignore their teachings.
(Will be fixed later, sorry.)
However this revelation just steeled Chris's resolve to gift a C-Grade Pill to Cathy and make her stronger. He couldn't make her uglier, but he can at least make her able to save herself from the horny dogs after her.
And on the topic of saving, Chris also needed to hire some guards for their family, but of course, that was for future Chris to handle.
With a slight smile of anticipation, Chris jumped out of the tub and used a towel to dry his dripping body and re wore his normal casual robes.
It was evening and he was in no mood to go out anymore, so why not be as comfortable as possible?
On the sofa Max and Cassie was still playing the video games while taking peeks at Cathy's closed shut door.
"Did she come out yet?" Chris asked as soon as he got near them.
"Sigh, no."
"Brother! Sis Cathy has gone mad! Every once in a while there is a loud crashing sound from that room!"
"Crashing... huh." Chris sighed, looks like his sweet twinnie was taking out her anger on the poor furniture.
If it was the past Chris, he would have been worried about the losses she was causing since all the furniture in the room was costly, but for now, all he cared about was Cathy's well being. An the bruh lol
"I had assigned her a nurse maid, what happened to her?" Chris asked again while both Cassie and Max averted their eyes at the question.
"Tell me guys, Cass, you tell."
"Uhm... so... it was like... she ran away from the room screaming, and is currently in the servants room..."
"...ran away screaming, huh?" Chris blinked in astonishment as he sighed and first walked towards the servants room, he first needed to know what was wrong with Cathy now.
"Sia, I think I had assigned you to take care of Cath?" Chris asked as he looked at the frightened nurse maid, "What happened?"
"I... I was properly following your orders, sir. I didn't talk much and gave my lady her privacy, I also changed her glucose drip and she just sat silently in deep thoughts." Sia the maid began, "But... she suddenly dozed off and I let her sleep without disturbing... however... when she woke up, her eyes were red in anger as she glared at me... I was genuinely scared..."
"Continue..."
"She glared at me for a while and then suddenly pulled apart the glucose nutrients needle we had inserted. I tried to stop my lady, however... she just pointed the needle at me and threatened me to get out" Sia shivered as she continued, "Her eyes were red and "I see," Chris nodded to her words as his face contorted in confusion and annoyance with a tinge of worry, these things seem murderous, she said she will kill me if I don't go... I ran away, young master... I am sorry."
"I see," Chris nodded to her words as his face contorted in confusion and annoyance with a tinge of worry, these things seem to be taking too much toll on Cathy... it was bad.
Chris turned around leaving the poor maid there and ordered, "Ready an anesthesia shot and call the doctors."
"Y-Yes, young master..." Sia murmured as she looked at Chris's receding back who didn't turn back to look at her again and kept walking towards Cathy's room.
It was finally time to see what trouble was his dear stupid twinnie was causing now, depending on her condition, he might gift her the Awakening Pill too.
*Knock Knock*
"Cath. It's me." Chris muttered gently as he knocked on the door.
"Go away!" Cathy shouted, accompanied by some clanging and crashing sounds as if she has just tossed some more objects.
"Just open the door, or I will break it." he threatened gently.
"No!"
"I will break it, Cath. You have 10 seconds."
"..."
"10... 9... 8... ...3... 2..."
*Click*
In all seriousness behind his words, Chris began to count and his ears and the door swung open, showing a beautiful black haired girl who stood at the door with her eyes red in anger and her "I have a gift for you, so the past never repeats itself."
In all seriousness behind his words, Chris began to count and finally, before he could finish a resounding click of the door filled his ears and the door swung open, showing a beautiful black haired girl who stood at the door with her eyes red in anger and her maskara ruining her gorgeous face.
"What?!" Cathy asked as she wiped her tears again, a little rage in her voice was apparent.
"Why are you crying?"
maskara ruining her gorgeous face.
"What?!" Cathy asked as she wiped her tears again, a little rage in her voice was apparent.
"Why are you crying?"
"Why do you care..." Cathy wanted to continue being in rage, however when she looked in Chris's eyes, she knew she couldn't continue being in rage... he wouldn't let her, he wouldn't let her be in pain.
"It was the nightmare... there was a white haired guy... he said I would be sold to a brothel and he also said... I would be... sacrificed to the masters..." Cathy sobbed, burying her head in his shoulders.
Her previous scary look was no where to be found as Cathy showed her scared and insecure side, only she knew how she felt in that cold, damp cellar.
She had drowned in the pits of hopelessness and she herself never wanted to feel that again. After all, who would like to feel that ever?
"Hey Cath. That will never happen again. Don't you want to be strong too?" Chris smiled and stroked her hairs, gently hugging her in a protective embrace.
"I have a gift for you, so the past never repeats itself."
