You've Got the Wrong House, Villain [156]

Previously on YGTWHV:

"Um, Miss, this side feels quite painful, do you mind looking at it a little more?"

Being the informant he was, Odin was heavily invested in finding out more about new things he didn't know. So in a bid to test Anne-Marie's power further, he purposefully exaggerated his pain.

For some reason, Anne-Marie momentarily paused at Odin's statement. Then the next moment, Odin's heart skipped a beat when he saw her smile like a blooming flower.

"You're really kind, Mr. Odin."

Odin quickly looked away, avoiding Anne-Marie's eyes. Somehow, his ears felt hot and his heart was beating fiercely.

"Uh, I...I, well."

So honestly, he didn't even really hear what Anne-Marie said.

"I'll take a brief look then. Which part hurts? Is it here?"

Anne-Marie's hand touched Odin again.
Somehow, she felt like she was in a much better mood than when she first entered this room.

Odin unconsciously flinched at the touch on his bare skin. He himself didn't even know why he was reacting like this.

But the moment Anne-Marie's smile struck him head-on, he somehow felt like he had been hit in the back of the head. His cheeks burned for some reason and he felt flustered.

It was only after some time passed that Odin came to his senses and grew doubtful.

'Why is she calling me kind when she's the one treating me, feeding me, and letting me stay in her house?'

Of course, the reason was Lakis.
Anne-Marie couldn't help but compare the two patients she had. Of course, you shouldn't judge people carelessly but...

From what she'd seen so far, Yuri's lover, Lakis, was not as nice as she first thought. Of course, since he was more than docile to Yuri, maybe he was only that cold to Anne-Marie.

If that was the case, she was relieved because that meant she didn't have to worry about Yuri who had Lakis as her lover. But on the other hand, it was something that bothered her.

There was probably no one in the world who enjoyed being disliked and naturally, Anne-Marie wasn't one of those.

Anyway, because of that, Anne-Marie began to feel better with Odin since he had a mild nature and didn't refuse her treatment. Of course, that feeling was more like happiness for humanity, not favor for the opposite sex. Not yet.

Then Anne-Marie suddenly remembered something and opened her mouth.

"Right, Mr. Odin. I think I should let you know just in case but...it is a little hectic outside nowadays."

She explained to Odin that there was a search team looking for heretics in the East lately. This was because she thought Odin wouldn't know the situation outside since he had been in the room the entire time.

Instantly, Odin's eyes sharpened.

"So if you need to go out like Mr. Lakis, please let me know beforehand. You might get caught in something dangerous while on your way and...I'm worried."

'This woman...she knows I'm a heretic somehow.'

Anne-Marie didn't directly show what she had guessed about Odin, but Odin was very quick on the uptake.
