"This… is this the man who has been taking care of you, Melody? The one you told me about—the one you said you want to be with? Mr Sint."
Melanie nodded slowly, her eyes fixed on the man sitting beside her. She had barely managed to convince Cadence to play along, to be part of this dangerous little act they had begun. Dam* it! This person was too tricky. Dr Jung was a masochist for falling for him.
It felt almost unreal, the way his demeanor had shifted in such a short span of time. Until only a couple of days ago, he had treated her as though she were made of glass and needed to be protected and hovered over every instant. Obsessive to the point of invading her room in the night! And now!
But today… today it was as if he saw her as the plague itself.. Getting too close might cause his death and she carried some infection he wanted no part of.
