Chapter 442
Lucy shook her head, not agreeing with Matthew. She really did want to help Charlotte with her advice, but Charlotte just would not listen. Matthew, still trying to keep a straight face, pointed upstairs. "If you want to check on them, you'd better go now. It's late, and we've got a lot to do tomorrow."
Lucy did not waste any time and headed for the stairs.
In Cillian and Yitty's room, they were whispering sweet things to each other.
They had finally let down their walls and were truly listening to each other. Before, they could not even be called friends because they argued so much.
Yitty remembered how Cillian used to only have eyes for Lucy. He did not care about anyone else, and the thought of someone getting close to him was just a dream.
Yitty had liked him for a long time. Even though she realized it late, she still figured it out way before Cillian, who was clueless until the very end. After a while of being all lovey-dovey, Cillian suddenly thought of something he did not get.
"Yitty, why did you call me clueless before? Another girl said the same thing..."
Yitty, who was snuggled up to Cillian, pulled away and playfully punched him in the chest. "Are you really that clueless, or are you just acting?" Yitty could not help but wonder about Cillian's intelligence. Lucy had told her that Cillian was a clever and good-looking guy, which explained why everyone at school liked him. However, why did he seem so clueless around her?
"I... just don't get it."
"Alright then." Yitty started picking up the bottles that had fallen to the floor. "You might not get it now, but you will one day."
Some of the bottles had broken, and Cillian reached out to stop Yitty. "I'll do it. Watch out for the broken glass."
Right after he said that, Yitty's ring finger got nicked by something sharp. The pain did not hit at first, but as she started to bleed, it began to hurt.
It was weird. Cillian had just warned her to be careful, and then, bam, she was the one who got hurt.
The shard was not too sharp. It just
left a small cut. Yitty had not noticed, and a gentle wipe was all it took to slice it open. Little bits of glass got stuck in the cut, and she could see the glass with blood on it.
"Why aren't you more careful?"

Cillian sounded like he was scolding her, but Yitty felt nothing but warmth from his words.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
She was not used to that kind of concern.
To everyone else, she was a leader, someone who stood tall above the rest. They thought she did not need any comforting, and she would probably not even fuss over small cuts like this.
"Let it be, Cillian. It's just a scratch. I don't usually bother with these."
Cillian grabbed her hand firmly. "Even a tiny cut is still a cut, right? If you don't take care of it, it might get infected. Then, even a little cut can become a big problem."
Yitty made a face. "But... is it really that bad? I've never had any trouble before!"
