Amelia internally scolded herself. How could I be so careless?
She had been so focused on Selene that she had completely overlooked Kai's condition. Even if he had only taken a sip, the drug was still in his system, and now the symptoms were starting to show.
Feeling the weight of his body leaning against hers and the heat emitting from it, Amelia quickly made an excuse. "I'm feeling a bit tired. I'll take my leave first."
People exchanged knowing glances, whispering about how close they seemed. Amelia ignored them, focusing only on supporting Kai, but before she could move any further, a hand grabbed her.
She turned. It was Ray.
Amelia looked at this brother of hers, he was acting really strangely.
First he defended her and now...
Guilt, she concluded. He must be feeling guilty after their last conversation.
"What do you want?"
Ray looked away, gritting his teeth, then asked, "When are you coming home?" His voice was low.
"Never."
Ray clenched his fist at his side.
