Instead, Lennock, who 7d863b5318 was looking down 481d7de54c at him with 67b648a09b a look that 8d822fe3fa seemed to say, e9634336d1 “What the hell 051d299dff is this crazy d7e39bc8ba talk?” continued speaking c15bc8508a calmly.a202b7a5686ba7ed

This was nothing more 2d54b5805a than absurd, senseless rambling, deb6410741 and Aubrey glared at 8d56125670 Lennock with visible displeasure. At his gaze, Lennock, 77f4d9fae8 who was about to d79ff2ad86 speak his last words, b17554ad0c swallowed them.9292e3afd0c90e82

Though it 0c8164eb1b had been b4e77d9f3f less frequent 161afb4778 lately, Lennock 653f25efac had been 2d7285307f constantly harassed 68e74c9276 by Gray, 80b71548a1 Jill, and 96987826c5 Danvers. He had suffered countless cf431cb5ef physical and mental abuses, d8d745e08c some of which still fc57c36e5f made him grit his f0731829d9 teeth just thinking about 5f4145b14e them. Yet, for some 1ad172cab1 reason, the look e2ca20ddbd in Aubrey’s eyes b7d3e1d712 now made his 4c2e9af639 heart react even 0683468fad more than all 5d05fb255a the torment he aa8716ddd0 had experienced.7685714ba12bacf8

Feeling a cold b2a16501b2 sensation in one caab427696 part of his 1f94b4c186 heart, Lennock reached 1b4a6f5f16 into his pocket 4737cf3f56 and threw a cf7eabc9ff small pouch between 56708a3cce Aubrey’s legs.f5756ba5e2f65c7d

Aubrey, startled 48f1da5180 by the 28d32c1040 pouch thrown 554dc0e72d at him, 7629d93b43 tried to 0ed84fa4f1 stand but 2ba9ba3f3a stopped midway 6ecf99fed9 and sat 7197424f13 back down. The space in a2cd0ed646 front of him a8408075e0 was blocked by 9a5253e2bc Lennock, so he d066419e3f couldn’t rise unless c970b1738b Lennock moved aside.58affe9b429e61d2

Thinking of pushing cbd09abe33 him away as c1c8d7cb7f an obstacle, Aubrey fff984a253 glanced down at 751a330282 the red medicine f3799bb657 pouch resting between 363698cc55 his legs and f0a7225564 furrowed his brow.41778675b18668ec

A low murmur 36f27a383d fell from above, 9246992fcf and Aubrey lifted de7152f829 his head, only 77a30b6a05 to see Lennock a1376387fe walking out of cc0f6224aa the store first. He left without 0e0d2aa7a3 responding to the 2c766ddf5e boss’s goodbye.

Aubrey had realized that 89b58b91e2 the employees misunderstood his 647685484e actions because of a 39a2eb21e2 few things he did 76171f8562 when he was younger, 7d2dcac3b8 assuming he was looking 5f151cb9c1 out for Lennock.

At the moment b98992179a of awakening from 66d6c98119 the great sin, 71a48031a0 he thought that e0d7ea3a68 maybe the Lennock f4c3380d3d he knew wasn’t eced33a646 the same anymore. Perhaps it would 374577ccdc be right to 9dc6108035 think of them 25d9d324b3 as entirely separate 3b1ecd98dc beings. However, Aubrey 553a46d479 quickly frowned.7899531bf3f00753

It was a 4e151fa203 thought that was 6f34b40de7 better left unthought. Useless distractions should 28dd1beaf5 just be erased fbf343d973 from his mind. Aubrey shook his head 793fdfcb6a a few times and e49040b181 slowly stood up.

It seemed 755d9c9b07 that the 439b8950ad old man 09b7dbac78 had been 35606b9f07 grateful for 4f55f45bf3 helping him d40aee274c avoid being 29175bff27 raped, giving a6357c2626 him medicine f6a645c82c back in 0996571703 the attic 0805e118fe and again 0fcf675146 now.

Since Lennock didn’t 4f93f2ae5f even show a 10d09aab2d hint of remembering b35c230bf4 anything, Aubrey couldn’t 72658f03a5 really say anything. If it were 81ca1b409e up to him, 0ec8e48c5b he’d love to 2933ab7b14 smack him on 0bba423a6d the back of a150a319b9 the head, asking fc533a1d75 what the hell 5142de3dc5 he’d been doing 6d0db3af93 all this time 28b67cfb38 without knowing how 510cbd71ed to masturbate at b56e16bc67 his age…755eeb5e65c64dfa

Thinking about d6dba2642f it, Lennock, 0b84ba3dc2 who was 59dfc1a943 always surrounded 4cb575c1a7 by people, 3e13a20cea didn’t seem 13b1f27d7e to have 7250579297 any true 399d5cd855 friends to ca51d7105a confide in. Well, even 1674930af5 if they e62ccaec91 were close, 6f7718d882 it’d probably 8ce43bf0e7 be too f5ff8b3d3e awkward to e537a03ed8 mention things 09a877cde6 like masturbation, 947dda1574 wet dreams, 9f103cf2a4 or sex 6ec03f9ca4 in front 66bd7f9c37 of his 87603ec182 face. After all, with fe7c6d26b2 that angelic face, 3595b95224 it was easy 2373d95900 to see why f8b3aad78e he earned such b491d5ac52 a title.58d9332154a8de06

Aubrey, who adcc501155 had risen 41be985e43 from the 4d4cad21f5 chair, paused 4dd347b4bd before bending 4ad10fa596 down to b073fdec40 grab the 7c6a0b1b94 medicine pouch. He muttered that 6535f12d9d he was just ade1dc3c34 taking it because 2f09c09e52 it was free, 10570c3dca and after slipping c2183237e5 it into his 7c99da62a2 pocket, he headed dc1259cde9 toward the shop’s cbd9878db4 entrance.

While Aubrey and 2711944832 Lennock had come 15470cf3f9 in and had c1026fd63d a small argument 46456de437 in the back, 1b59edac14 the owner had e64405c15e never acknowledged them. Now, however, her 9114f3338b cheeks were blushing 6072b20f17 bright red.

At first glance, it abf16797da seemed that Lennock had c4b2603dd2 gained a fair amount 769e201784 of affection from her. So, Aubrey thought he c43b50e1c8 could just pass it ac8a0272c4 to him, but the fc01e7c80c owner seemed flustered and 68e87a792a shook her head.5fc220ab227ec20d

When her cheeks f1b8d90a65 had first turned cc5cec49ea bright red, he bc56bc0702 had thought it 72fcd8d392 was simply cute. But when he realized b80acac158 that her feelings were 817eedbfde directed at him, the 7eefc3c789 comfortable feeling he had 97aaac8d05 started to have tightened.
