77.

As I suddenly shouted, everyone’s attention focused on me.

Even Lian turned to look at me.

I froze when I met his face.

“…?”

…What?

‘He’s bleeding that much….’

Why does he look like nothing’s wrong?

‘No way… he didn’t know?’

How is that possible?

I rushed over to Lian in a panic.

“Lian, what is this….”

I couldn’t even ask if he was really okay.

When I grabbed Lian’s left hand, blood gushed out.

It stained my hands and clothes.

A customer gasped and covered their mouth.

“…Oh my! Blood…!”

I quickly examined the wound.

‘It’s not his hand, it’s his wrist that’s injured.’

And it wasn’t a torn or cut wound.

The area was too small for that.

‘It looks like he was stabbed by something….’

I suddenly remembered what happened in the break room earlier.

“Lian, please help Violet up.”

Could it be… he got hurt while helping Violet up?

‘He must have put his hand down wrong and got stabbed by glass shards.’

As soon as I realized it, I felt like all the blood drained from my body.

‘I…I caused Lian to get hurt.’

I tensed my body, trying not to let my hands shake.

“L-Lian. How long has it been like this? You’re hurt this badly… why didn’t you say anything?”

I stared at Lian’s wound and slowly raised my gaze.

I froze once again.

“…?”

Because Lian was frozen like a statue.

Just seconds ago, he had seemed calm.

As if he didn’t even know he was hurt.

But… his normal complexion had vanished in an instant.

He had become very pale instead.

What was still strange in all this.

‘…He shows no signs of pain at all.’

Lian still had an expression like he didn’t understand anything.

He didn’t frown even slightly, nor did he break out in cold sweat.

Even though this level of bleeding should have him writhing in pain.

‘How is this happening…?’

I was dazed but barely managed to hold onto my reason.

‘Th-this isn’t the time for this.’

I need to stop the bleeding first.

In desperation, I grabbed my sleeve and pressed it against Lian’s wound.

“You’re bleeding this much, why didn’t you say anything?”

“….”

“Don’t tell me you didn’t know? No…, how could you not know when you’re bleeding this much?”

“….”

“Hello? Lian, are you listening?”

Lian didn’t answer at all.

He just stared blankly into space.

That’s why I was certain.

Lian… didn’t know he was hurt.

‘How could he not know? Does this make sense?’

Let me say again, his wound wasn’t the kind that could be solved by applying ointment and putting on a bandage.

And the amount of blood he’d lost so far should have made him dizzy enough to collapse.

‘But he doesn’t know?’

Is this realistically possible?

“Young Master…!”

The employees and Violet gathered around us.

Naturally, they all looked shocked and didn’t know what to do.

“My goodness, the blood…. Wh-what should we do first?”

“Stop the bleeding and then….”

“Ugh…it looks so painful I can barely watch.”

Even Finn and Heaven were suffering on his behalf after seeing Lian’s wound.

In the midst of all this, the person involved maintained his silence stubbornly.

I couldn’t understand it.

‘It’s stabbed too deep.’

But he’s not saying anything.

‘His vision must be dizzy and painful….’

Isadora pushed Finn and Heaven aside.

“Please move aside. I’ll handle this.”

She took bandages out of the first aid kit.

She unwound the rolled bandages and compressed Lian’s wrist.

“The wound is deep. I think treating it among us non-professionals would worsen the situation.”

“….”

“A medical professional should look at it.”

Then Heaven nodded.

“R-right.”

“That’s right. Where’s the nearest hospital from here?”

That’s when it happened.

“…No.”

Lian’s mouth, which had been closed the whole time, opened.

Everyone looked at him.

“What?”

“It’s fine.”

Soon I frowned.

‘It’s fine?’

What’s fine about it?

Nothing’s been resolved, so what kind of nonsense is he talking….

“What do you mean by that? You need to go to the hospital.”

“I’m okay.”

“No…, Lian. You’re not okay. This is not an okay situation.”

I pointed to the floor stained with blood.

“Don’t you see that? That’s all blood you shed.”

“….”

“Lian, you’re not in a good state right now. Why is everyone else aware of what only you don’t know?”

“….”

“Don’t be stubborn about pointless things.”

Lian’s gaze turned toward my finger.

He remained silent for a moment, then shook his head again.

Then he suddenly stood up from his seat.

“Lian…!”

I rose to follow him.

Lian abruptly grabbed my wrist.

“I’m borrowing the Center Director for a bit.”

“…?”

“Center Director, let’s go home with me.”

It was truly absurd.

‘…I think the order of his words got mixed up.’

Shouldn’t he talk to me first and then tell the employees?

And why is he suddenly talking about going home?

‘There’s no doctor at Aizet Baron’s mansion.’

There’s only that reckless troublemaker and that Yeomi’s brother!

I furrowed my brow.

“What are you talking about? Not home, but the hospital….”

“Let’s go.”

Lian, who had been facing the employees, turned his head toward me.

I had no choice but to close my mouth.

‘This is the most serious expression I’ve ever seen from him.’

I couldn’t bring myself to persuade him further.

For some reason… I felt like I should listen to him.

I had no choice but to agree.

“…Alright.”

I thought Lian might feel dizzy.

I lifted his right arm and wrapped it around my shoulder.

“I’ll escort Lian to his residence and come back.”

“….”

“I don’t know how long it’ll take… If I’m late, finish up and leave when it’s time.”

“Yes.”

The employees nodded.

Their faces were filled with anxiety as they looked back and forth between me and Lian.

I supported Lian as we left the Center.

“Walk slowly. Don’t overdo it.”

“I’m fine.”

“I’m not fine watching you. And lean more of your weight on me.”

“Then you’ll be heavy, Center Director.”

“Just your arm is already heavy, you know? Stop talking nonsense and lean on me quickly.”

The day was already hot, and supporting this mountain of a guy made me sweat profusely.

‘No…, maybe it’s not that, maybe it’s because I’m too anxious.’

Just then, I spotted an empty carriage going around the street.

I quickly waved my hand.

“Take us to Aizet Baron’s mansion. Quickly. It’s very urgent.”

“Yes, understood….”

Suddenly, the coachman’s eyes widened.

He must have noticed the blood-soaked bandage.

Rolling his eyes slowly, he asked a question.

“Are you sure you want to go to Aizet Baron’s mansion…?”

His look said why go there instead of a hospital.

‘That’s what I’m saying too.’

I’m also dumbfounded to death.

I helped Lian into the carriage first.

He staggered slightly while climbing the steps.

“Lian…! Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Lian nodded.

But I witnessed the cold sweat beading on the back of his neck.

“Lian, let’s just change the destination. Going to the hospital would be….”

“I said I’m fine.”

“….”

“Go to Chase’s house.”

He said as he sat down in the seat.

I could hear his voice crack slightly at the end.

‘What do you mean you’re fine?’

You’re not fine at all, you bastard.

‘Your stubbornness is really… even a bull would cry and leave.’

But I didn’t want to get into an argument for no reason.

In such an urgent situation, I shouldn’t waste time on pointless things.

“…Alright.”

A little later, the carriage departed.

I naturally let out a sigh.

I still couldn’t understand Lian.

‘You’re usually such a whiner.’

Someone who complains about feeling hurt over the smallest things….

Why is he now constantly pretending to be fine, acting like nothing’s wrong?

I looked at Lian.

He was staring out the window with a blank expression.

‘…Or is he really fine?’

I don’t understand anything at all.

Too many things happened today, and my head was all jumbled up.

“….”

Lian didn’t say anything to me in the end.
