Chapter 249: My Life Is Booring Without You!
Next day.
The rain started pouring when Iris arrived at the island.
They can’t use magic to teleport to the cabin because Eric and the other people who guard this island still don’t know that they are not ordinary humans. They could only walk through the rain to the cabin using an umbrella.
The yacht dock was quite far away from Eric’s cabin. Iris attempted to stop the rain but failed. She glanced at Gavriel, who walked beside her.
"Can you stop this rain?"
"Hmm, I can. Do you want me to stop this rain? Why?" Gavriel asks her back. He likes the rain.
"Feels troublesome using this umbrella..." she said as she glanced at Niles and Justin, walking behind them. Before Iris returned her gaze to Gavriel, the rain slowly stopped.
"Oh, the rain stopped," She put down her umbrella and smiled at Gavriel, "Thank you, Gavriel. You should teach me how to stop this rain..."
Gavriel frowned as he looked at the sky, now starting to change color to bright as the dark cloud that covered the island earlier instantly faded. It is like someone has just blown all the clouds from the sky.
"This is weird—" Gavriel folded his umbrella while glancing at Iris. "I didn’t do it..."
"Oh, it must be Niles."
"I didn’t do it either..." Niles was also curious why the heavy rain had abruptly stopped.
"Huh, you also didn’t do it?" Iris is confused. She glanced at Justin. But she put away her thoughts that Justin did that because she knew Justin couldn’t do that.
She continued to walk again, but she almost fell to Justin’s words.
"Iris, thank you for considering me more powerful than Gavriel and Niles, but... I’m not that powerful. I can’t manipulate the weather," Justin grinned.
Iris could only chuckle upon hearing his words. She never considered him to do so; she was just curious.
She didn’t ask them again but dismissed all of them.
When Iris approached the cabin, she saw Eric waiting for her. Seeing him look healthy and his damaged body not exposing it relieves her. Because, as a person who has a solid magic aura, she still can’t see his real broken body. This is a good sign.
A bright, warm smile appeared on Iris’ lips as she ran to him.
"Brother, how’s island life? I saw you seem to enjoy staying on this island?"
Eric didn’t answer her. Instead, he pulled her into his arms and embraced her tightly.
"Iris, you finally come. I’m glad to see you again, my dear—" Drawing with his logging to Iris, Eric didn’t realize he hugged her tightly, making her suffer. "I thought I would never see you again—" his voice stops when her tiny hand pushes him away to free herself from his embrace.
A frown appears on his forehead, looking at her refusal. However, when he saw her face turn pale and her breath seemed short, he panicked.
"I-Iris, did I hurt you?" Eric asked. A trace of panic flashed through his eyes as he placed his hand on her shoulder. "I’m so sorry, Iris—"
Iris didn’t feel hurt but was shocked when she realized that Eric had so much power. His embrace earlier was similar to when Xavier hugged her; she felt her ribs almost break.
She slowly turned to see him in the eyes, and when she saw him blame himself, she shook her head, "No. I’m fine... I just feel slightly suffocated," a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"Are you sure?" Eric asked while bringing her to enter his cabin.
Iris glanced at him; she could see his expression. There was worry and regret in there.
This is weird. She started to wonder if something had happened to him.
Slowly, a few questions flashed in her mind, ’He didn’t like living here? Is he starting to get bored after a few months have passed?’
"Iris, please say something!!"
She gasps in surprise to hear his voice raise slightly. "I-I’m seriously fine, brother. But I’m curious about how you can have that much strength. You almost crushed me with just your hug. Did you start to train in martial arts again!?"
Eric finally feels at ease. A charming smile appears on his lips as he says, "Iris, I’m not the one who gains power, but you, who become weak. You are the most powerful woman I have ever met in my entire life... How could you become weak like this!?"
Iris, "..."
"Can you stop praising me that much?"
Eric didn’t say anything, but his eyes still focused on her as they sat on the couch.
"Brother, how’s your life here?"
"Boring!" Eric took a deep sigh before crossing his legs gently. "Without you here, my life feels boring, Iris."
Iris was taken aback.
"Gosh!! Brother, why are you always telling me you are ok every time I call you?"
Eric didn’t reply immediately. He satisfies his eyes, looking at Iris. After a long silence, he finally says, "Because I don’t want to make you worry about me. I wait patiently for you to come so I can tell you directly..."
Iris slowly took a deep breath, feeling guilty for not visiting him sooner — He must feel lonely.
She could understand that because, in the past, Eric was surrounded by people for most of his life as he was the leader of the Shadow Guild. But now? He only lives on this island with Paul, the island guard, with his family.
"Sorry, brother. This is all because of an accident that happened to Justin. He was seriously injured because of me, making me feel responsible—" She took a deep breath as she remembered those painful memories.
"Justin!?" Eric asked.
"Yeah, Justin. Why did you ask? You forgot about him?"
Eric didn’t utter a word.
"Damn! Are you having memory loss? Did you really not know him?"
Eric, "..."
"Ah, you mean that guy?" Eric chuckled when he saw three guys walking on the beach through the glass wall.
Iris glances outside, "Yeah. He was sick, almost five months," She paused, "I told you before..." She narrowed her eyes at him. For some unknown reason, she feels Eric looks so weird.
