Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 281

Chapter 281: Just Forget About It
Luna shifted her leg into a more comfortable position. Luna was currently leaning against the bathtub inside of the bathroom. There was a cloth tied around her leg, and she had tried her best to stop the bleeding by herself, but the fabric was already dyed red, and it was obvious that she did not do a very good job. Luna had slowly lost strength while trying to prevent the wound from bleeding, and before she knew it, she was already drowsy and sleeping off from the blood loss.

Her breathing was labored, and she was trying her best not to move too much so that she wouldn’t worsen the injuries.

“Luna. Luna, can you hear me?”

A faint voice spoke up from somewhere distant, and Luna’s eyes cracked open slightly as she tried to see what was in front of her. Her vision was blurry, and all that she could see was black hair and a well-muscled body.

“KING? Is… Is that you?”

Mark frowned as he examined the wound on Luna’s leg.

“Luna, get yourself together. It’s Mark. Can you move?”

Mark put his hand on her forehead and saw that Luna was heating up. Mark knew a bit of first aid from all his time getting injured as GHOST, so he knew that he would be able to patch Luna up just fine. But they needed to move first before he could do that. She had to get off the hard floor and on the bed so that it would be easier for the both of them.

“M-Mark?”

Mark put his hand under Luna’s leg and shoulder and carried her bridal style while talking. Luna immediately groaned in pain as her wounds were shifted when Mark carried her.

“Yeah, it’s Mark. Just hold on. I’ll get you patched up.”

Luna held onto Mark’s shirt tightly as he carried her and buried her face into his neck. She mumbled quietly, and even though Mark found it a bit difficult to understand her because of how sloppy her words were, he could get the general meaning of what she was saying.

“I’m sorry I’m holding you back.”

Mark grunted.

“Save your strength. You’re delirious.”

Luna chuckled.

“You always know just what to say, don’t you? I can never understand you half the time… but I can’t take my eyes off you. You’re the most interesting person I’ve ever seen since King.”

Mark narrowed his eyes as he heard her say that, but he decided that now was not the time to ask anything about it. Instead, he just took her to a room and lay her on the bed before getting a first aid box to start working. Mark first fixed up the wound on her leg. It was pretty deep, so Mark had to disinfect it and sew it up before wrapping a bandage around it. After that one was patched up, Mark then got to work on her shoulder.

He was finishing up her shoulder when Luna groaned and sat up in the bed. She looked around, and Mark cut off the thread as he finished sewing up her shoulder.

“Mark. W-What happened?”

“I found you in the bathroom knocked out. Good job getting the bleeding to slow down before passing out. I’m proud of you.”

Luna blushed as she heard the proud tone that Mark spoke to her in, and she grimaced as a wave of pain passed through her leg. She looked down and noticed that she was only wearing her underwear in bed! She quickly grabbed the blanket and covered herself with a huge blush before she glared at Mark!

“Y-You… You… I don’t even know what to say to you!”

Mark grinned.

“If it’s any consolation, I didn’t cop a feel while you were sleeping.”

Luna’s blush deepened, and she thought about hitting Mark on the head, but just thinking about moving her left arm was enough to send a shot of pain through her shoulder, and she was immediately groaning.

Mark told Luna to lie back down, but Luna shook her head.

“What happened in the fight?”

“I won. Merlin died fighting against Musashi, but he was able to injure him enough that it wasn’t difficult for me to put him down, and I beat Hercules on my own. The plan went off without any issues. Now rest.”

Luna smiled as she heard that Mark won against the two other servants. She was really worried that Mark would not be able to handle them because of how legendary they were, but she shouldn’t have been worried. She should have known that Mark would find a way out.

“Alright, you really need to lie down now. You aren’t going to ruin all my hard work with your stubbornness.”

Mark was gently trying to talk Luna back into bed while closing up the first aid kit and cleaning his hands using a white cloth, but Luna’s eyes were fixated on Mark’s face. She saw the way his brow creased in worry for her, the way he frowned when staring at her injuries, the specks of blood on his face which showed that he had not even cleaned himself since he came back from the fight. Did he come to help me immediately after killing the other servants? Luna felt something warm in her chest knowing that Mark was immediately thinking about her the moment after the fight.

She would blame that warm feeling later on. She would blame the warm feeling and the adrenaline for everything.

Because she knew that it was wrong, but at that moment, she didn’t care.

Luna reached out and touched Mark’s cheek when Mark was distracted with the first aid box and once he turned around, she leaned forward and kissed him.

Mark’s eyes widened in shock for a moment as he felt wet lips on his own. He was too stunned to even move for a few seconds, and this allowed Luna to capture one of his lips in her own and suck it gently once before she finally broke the kiss. Luna leaned back after the kiss with a blush on her face. She looked into his eyes and saw the shock in them. But she did not see disgust or hatred, so she decided that maybe it was okay.

Luna’s hand trailed down from Mark’s cheek to his neck as she leaned in for another kiss, but she was shocked when she felt hands land on her shoulders.

When Luna looked into Mark’s eyes again, there was a cold wave of anger surging in them that immediately froze Luna down to her bones. Luna was not a shy woman. She has never been a shy woman and nothing has managed to make her feel fear in nearly five years. But at that moment, Luna couldn’t help but feel afraid as she saw those empty eyes.

Mark closed his eyes for a moment and took in a deep breath. When he opened them again, his eyes were clear. He did not smile, he did not shout. He spoke with an unnatural calmness that did not reflect the amount of anger Luna could see in his eyes.

“I will forget that happened. Try to get some rest, you will need it to heal quickly.”

Luna did not even know when Mark stood up from the bed. She only heard the sound of the door closing. After a few moments, Luna quietly grabbed the blanket to cover her head, and she curled in on herself as shame threatened to overwhelm her.

“What the hell did I just do?”
