Devilish secretary - Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Chapter 162 Darkness Age Chapter 162: Chapter 162 Darkness Age Ethan gasped, stumbling back as if physically attacked.

“Oh my god.

This is worse than heartbreak.” Rose, now fully laughing, clapped her hands.

“Brother, how could you forget bro Ethan?!

He’s like, the biggest joker in the family!” Ethan groaned, running a hand down his face.

“Unbelievable.

First, he turns soft.

Now, he doesn’t remember me?

This is a tragedy!” Ray still looked uncertain.

He turned back to Lilith, his voice soft.

“So… can I still ask him to leave?” Ethan: “I CAN HEAR YOU!” *** After the family left, Ray let out a long sigh of relief, slumping against Lilith as if the weight of the world had finally been lifted from his shoulders.

Lilith stood beside the hospital bed, her hands resting lightly at her sides as Ray wrapped his arms around her waist, holding onto her tightly.

“I was so nervous, Miss Mystery…” he mumbled, burying his face against her.

“I didn’t know what to say, what to do… What if they noticed something was wrong with me?” His voice was small, almost like a child seeking comfort.

Lilith glanced down at him, her fingers naturally moving to smooth his soft hair.

“They didn’t notice, and even if they did, it wouldn’t change anything.” Ray pouted, pressing his forehead against her stomach.

“You don’t know that… They might think I’m weird and throw me away.” Lilith scoffed, tilting his chin up so he would look at her.

“They’d have to go through me first.” Her piercing blue eyes held nothing but certainty, and Ray felt his heartbeat speed up.

He grinned, dimples forming on his cheeks.

“That’s why I like you, Miss Mystery.

You always say cool things!” Lilith smirked, ruffling his hair.

“Of course, I do.

Now, tell me something does anyone else know about your DID?” Ray’s expression changed slightly, his lips pressing together as he thought for a moment.

“Only you and a few doctors.

No one else.” Lilith nodded, taking a mental note of that.

“And when did you first realize the other personalities existed?

How did you deal with it?” Ray leaned back, crossing his arms as he thought hard, his brows furrowing slightly.

“Hmm… I don’t know about the others, but I appeared when the body was around seven years old.” Lilith raised an eyebrow.

“Seven?

That’s quite young.

Do you remember what you were like back then?” “Well… I was really, really small, you know?

Like a baby!

I didn’t know anything about the world.

I just wanted to play all the time.” Lilith chuckled, rubbing his head softly.

“Sounds like you were adorable.” Ray’s cheeks flushed, and a proud grin spread across his face, dimples appearing.

“Of course!

But Alex and Gray wouldn’t let me take control often.

They said I was too childish, and I might get us in trouble.” Lilith tilted her head, amusement dancing in her eyes.

“So what did you do?” Ray huffed dramatically, puffing out his cheeks.

“I would cry!” Lilith blinked before bursting into laughter.

“Cry?!

That was your strategy?” Ray nodded enthusiastically.

“Yes!

I would cry and whine until Alex or Gray let me come out for a little while.

But only in safe places, like our room or the garden.

They always told me to be careful and never to speak when adults were around.” Lilith’s heart softened as she imagined a tiny Ray, sitting in a quiet room, playing with toys while his other personalities hovered like protective brothers.

“And what about now?” she asked, brushing a strand of his soft hair from his face.

Ray sighed dramatically again, sinking further into her warmth.

“Now?

They still treat me like a baby!

They don’t let me do anything fun.” He huffed, then peered up at her with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

“But you let me do whatever I want, Miss Mystery.

That’s why I like you the most.” Lilith raised an eyebrow, smirking.

“Oh?

Does that mean I’m your favorite?” Ray nodded instantly, looking at her like she just asked the most obvious question in the world.

“Of course!

You don’t scold me like Alex, and you don’t act like Gray, who keeps saying things like ‘be responsible’ and ‘stop acting like a kid.’ You just let me be me!” Lilith chuckled, cupping his cheek gently.

“That’s because I don’t see anything wrong with you, Ray.” Ray’s eyes widened slightly before he lowered his gaze, gripping her waist a little tighter.

“That’s why I don’t want to disappear.” His voice was softer now, more vulnerable, like a child afraid of being left behind.

Lilith’s heart clenched at his words.

She leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to his forehead, lingering there for a second before whispering, “You won’t disappear, humandoll.

I won’t let that happen.” Ray blinked up at her, lips parting in surprise, before a bright, happy grin spread across his face.

His eyes twinkled, and he giggled, nuzzling against her again like a spoiled child.

“Then I’ll stay with you forever, Miss Mystery!” Lilith smiled, ruffling his hair.

“Forever, huh?

You sure you won’t get tired of me?” Ray gasped, pulling away just enough to put his hands on his hips, looking utterly offended.

“How could I ever get tired of you?!

You’re my favorite person in the whole wide world!” Lilith shook her head, laughing softly as she flicked his forehead.

“Alright, alright, little human doll.

You win.” Ray grinned, satisfied, as he hugged her tightly again, like a child refusing to let go of their favorite toy.

“…And how old is Darkness exactly?” she asked, her tone sharp with curiosity.

Ray pouted dramatically and crossed his arms.

“Hmpf!

He’s younger than me!

He’s only one day old-like a newborn!” He huffed, kicking his feet.

“But somehow, he knows everything-all the secrets even I don’t know!

How unfair is that?!” Lilith’s lips twitched, suppressing a laugh as she looked at Ray, who was pouting like a child wronged by the universe.

“So, let me get this straight,” she said, crossing her arms and tilting her head.

“Darkness is only a year old, but somehow, he has all the memories you don’t?” Ray nodded vigorously, crossing his arms like an offended cat.

“Yes!

It’s totally unfair!

I’ve been here the longest after Alexander and Gray, and yet he gets all the deep, dark secrets!” He huffed.
