Chapter 217 - 217: They have broken up
Chapter 217:
A silent gasp let out of Robert's parted lips when he saw all the bodies around. All the twenty men were lying on the ground, some were unconscious while the others were awake crying in pain.
He gulped hard and looked at Daniella who was searching something in a huge bag pack he recognized. Then he rose a brow when she suddenly pulled out a grenade inside.
Slowly, his eyes widened. The smile on her face showed that she enjoyed the mess around. A few blood stain on her blue cheeks while her clothes was soaked with sweat.
He gulped hard. He knew that she can be sometimes act like a psychopath and he understood it as she was dehumanized at such a young age. But he had never seen her with so much happiness while the people around her were crying by the pain she caused.
He heard a cough from behind so he turned and found Scott, the pain was visible in his face but there was a faint smile curving on his lips.
"I guess the witch is back," Scott commented.
But Robert's heart thumped by that thought. She was so determined to changed and he was certain that this incident was not the reason for her to suddenly change her mind.
He looked around in hopes to see Evan but there was just Daniella.
"Do you think Evan knows about this" he asked.
Scott shrugged casually and walked towards the man that beat up Jenna. The man was awake though he can't move his body.
He placed a foot on his cheeks, pressing a force he chuckled.
"I will find your wife and beat her up so bad that she wouldn't be able to walk," he said with a dark face.
The man held his shoes, he wanted to beg but his lips were sealed tightly.
Wrinkling his nose in anger, Scott shook his foot to remove the man's hands. Then he turned around and left him. He knew he was just doing his job but he didn't need to beat up Jenna so badly.
He looked at Daniella's direction only to see her pulling out the nails in the feet of unconscious Roman Lee. He shook his head, the smile on her lips resembled a small kids in the garden plucking the flowers from its peduncle.
He was about to walk at Daniella's direction when he saw the tears in her eyes. He squinted in confusion. She was smiling while crying, has she lost her mind? He asked himself.
When Daniella finished plucking out the five nails on Roman's foot, she got up and went to one of the unconscious men, and just like what she did with Roman Lee, she plucked the unconscious man's nails with no remorse.
Robert poke a finger on Scott's shoulder to get his attention. When Scott turned a single chuckled let out from his lips.
"Hey papa smurf," Scott said giggling. For a moment, he forgot how badly injured he was.
Robert rolled his eyes, "papa smurf? Huh! Why don't you go and check with Smurfette, hefty?" he teased back. He heard what Scott said to the man that beat up Jenna, and that gave him a conclusion of what's going on between with them.
Scott screwed his face in irritation. When his sight caught Irene, a playful smile formed in his lips, "look at me… just look at me Robert," he said imitating the voice Irene had earlier.
Robert felt like an angry dragon that was closed to spit fire, his breathing quickened when Irene looked at their direction and glared at him.
Instead of fighting back, Robert rushed towards Daniella. His face was hot and he was certain that if it's not because of the blue ashes, everyone will see how flushed he was.
"Hey witch, what's happening to you? And where is Evan?" he yelled as he went closer to her.
Daniella slightly turned her head to look at Robert. Her smile faded and expression darkened.
"I am alright Robert as for Evan, you will need to ask his future father in law," then her sight dropped at Roman lee, "you can ask him later once he wakes up."
Baffled by her words Robert looked at Scott.
Everyone gathered closer to Daniella. Then they all sat on the ground in circle with Daniella in the middle who was busy plucking the nails of the unconscious man.
"What's happening?" Claire asked. The pain reliever pill that Daniella gave seemed to be working since the pain in her body was slowly fading.
Daniella slumped her butt on the floor and crisscrossed her legs, she then rested both palms on her knees and strengthened her back.
"Evan and I broke up some days ago. Now before Papa smurf loses his mind," she looked at Robert, "I want to tell you that I have cried and wasted my snort so I am alright now."
Without waiting for their reaction, Daniella got up, she walked past Robert but stopped when he suddenly held her wrist.
She didn't look at him but she could feel the anger by the way he held her wrist.
"please tell me that you broke up with him and not the other way around?"
Daniella blew out a long sigh, and her silence answered his question.
With Robert's hand on her wrist, she said, "don't touch him Robert. I am alright, he-" the rest of her words remained in her mind when Robert suddenly pulled her down.
She ended up kneeling on the ground, her face was facing Robert's back but without looking at his face she knew how angry he was.
"I am going to kill him Daniella."
She knew that he meant what he said. Daniella gulped hard. Her emotions was mixed up.
"Robert, don't touch him," her voice was low and those words sounded more of an order than a request.
"If you lay a finger on him, you won't see me again."
Robert scoffed, "why are you still protecting him Daniella? Do you hear yourself? You sound so stupid."
He wanted to look at her but he didn't want to see the pain or anger on her face.
"Believe me when I say that I am alright."
Robert shook his head, then he turned around and embraced her. She has suffered so much, be was even willing to forget his hatred towards Evan's family for her sake.
Burying his face on her shoulder, he sniffed and sigh.
"If Danny is alive, he will kill that man the second he breaks your heart."
"Danny is gone so I am your brother now Daniella. I don't want you hurting."
Daniella looked down at her hand clenched on her laps, she smiled sadly, raised her chin to meet his eyes.
"I am not hurting Robert. I mean was but I am fine now," she untangled his hands around from embracing her, placed both hands on his cheeks and patted it lightly
"I am really fine," her voice sounded so sincere and with that tone Robert felt somehow at ease, "but tell me, when did you watch the smurf? You seem very familiar with the movie?"
Maybe she really was fine. Maybe, she had cried enough to be alright. Robert rolled his eyes and pushed her away.
