- Chapter 220 - Chapter 220 I feel like something is growing inside me
Chapter 220: I feel like something is growing inside me Chapter 220: I feel like something is growing inside me “What happened?” Leo asked, once it was just the two of them and Alice shook her head.
“Your feelings are spiked.” “Well, I was listening to Miss Stella and then I started asking questions I wouldn’t normally ask.” Alice explained.
“I actually got interested enough to cross boundaries and ask more about what she was saying.
And from there, my chest wouldn’t stop thumping.” Leo observed her carefully.
“Are you growing compassion?” He asked.
“Empathy?” “What are you talking about?” Alice asked, a bit confused.
“Hm, that doesn’t seem to be it.
Then, did you just feel what she was saying?” He asked but got a smack on the head.
“Ouch.
What are you doing?” “Speak clearly, Leo.
I don’t understand a word you’re saying.” She declared, placing her hands on her waist.
Well, it didn’t look like she was any different from the previous day.
Then, could he just conclude that she resonated with what Miss Stella was talking about?
“What was she talking about anyway?” Leo asked.
“Well,” Alice dropped her hands.
“She said I reminded her of someone she knew a long time ago.
And then I asked how she could brush my hair so well if it was thanks to that same person, but she said no.
It was from her daughter, who is apparently dead right now.” “And that person?” “Also dead.
It was…” She slowed her words.
“Her sister.” “So, she told you you reminded her of her dead sister?” Leo asked and though it sounded like he was interrogating her, she did not feel offended.
She nodded her head and he exclaimed, “I see.” “What is it?
What do you see?” Alice asked but Leo shook his head, not planning to disclose his findings.
Or rather still, he had no findings.
“I’ll just take it that you were in touch with your feelings for the first time in a while.
Empathy, as I would say, works different wonders.” He placed his arm around her.
“Cheer up.
It’s not the end of the world.” “Yet.” She rolled her eyes and he laughed.
They walked towards the door.
“Oh, hey, I forgot to tell you.
I feel like something is growing inside me.” She said and he paused, his eyes questioning her words.

“What?” “It’s like a plant, I think.
It’s just starting to grow deep down here.” She touched the part just below her chest and above her abdomen.
“Hm, are you sure?” Leo asked, his eyes peering into that very spot, but he wasn’t looking with his naked eyes.
He was using his internal vision, but even at that…
“I don’t see anything.” He said.
“Huh?
Are you sure?
I could definitely sense it last night.” She said.
“After Mark left, I felt the plant.
There were two sides of it.
Red and black.
I could tell they were spreading their roots around my heart, why can’t you see it?
It has life.” Alice sounded eager to make him understand, and if she had to force his eyes open to see them, then she would, but she failed to realize she had let her little ‘activity’ slip out of her mouth.
“I was sure it was there.” She said, touching the section underneath her chest.
“Ahem,” Leo cleared his throat.
“It is true that I can’t sense anything right now.
So, can you?” “What do you mean?” “Can you sense the plant right now?” He asked and she went silent.
She tried to sense it but for some reason, it wasn’t there.
“Ah,” “You can’t, can you?” “Then, was it a dream?” Alice asked, confused but he shrugged his shoulders.
“If it had been a dream, then I’d say it held a significant meaning, but something tells me it wasn’t a dream, and you didn’t imagine it either.” Leo said, drawing closer to her.
He leaned towards her, sniffing her neck, and Alice, with her head tilted sideways to allow him to sniff her, asked, “What are you doing?
Did you become a dog?” “Hold still.” He wrapped his arms around her slim waist and pressed his nose deeper into her neck.
The position was kind of…
Well, she wasn’t complaining but he was taking too long.
“Hah, just as I thought.” He said and drew back.
“There was something strange about the pheromones coming out of you.” “Pheromones?
What’s that?” “Well, it’s like a person’s natural body scent.
Of course, it’s not that easy to sniff it out with the human nose since they’re very much unnoticed, but I can tell what your pheromones scent like.” He said.
“And you can smell them because you’re not human, got it.” She nodded.
“So, what does that have to do with this?” “Your pheromones are a bit thicker and a little bit more fragrant than they used to be.” He explained.
“It’s just a little bit but it’s not natural, so I can tell something’s been done to it.” “Speak English, man.” She said with her confused face and he laughed.
“In other words, something is facilitating this growth.” “Is it the plant?
The crimson side was quite fragrant.” Alice said, wondering and Leo gazed down at her.
He did not know how but for some reason, Alice was looking rather…
Intoxicating.
It was still mild right now but what would happen if it grew?
Just where did this come from?
Was it also given as some sort of reward for killing Lilith?
But there was nothing like that stated on her stats or the reward list.
“Alice, take off your clothes for a while.” “Huh?
We’re going to be late if I do that.
Do you know how long it takes for me to put these on?” She asked and he raised his hand.
“Then we’ll take a shortcut.” He snapped his fingers and her blazers disappeared, leaving her buttoned white shirt.
She marveled.
“Whoa, how convenient.” She clapped in awe.
“I don’t need to take all of your clothes off.
Just here.” He pointed at the point where she said she felt the plant growing.
“Oh, alright.” Without questions asked, Alice unbuttoned a few and stopped after she exposed her belly.
There was nothing.
“You said you felt it here?” He tapped on it and she nodded.
“And that happened to be after Mark left your room, you said.” “Yeah,” she said, mindlessly and not knowing she was being led into a trap.
“What did you two do?” “Oh, we kissed.” She said and looked up, shocked that she let it slip all of a sudden.
She looked at Leo and saw an irk on his forehead.
“So, you two kissed in this very room, and on your bed?” He asked and she had no choice but to nod her head.
“I see.” He said and when she thought he wasn’t going to say anything about it, he smacked her head.
“Have some self-awareness, stupid.
I have no problem with you two kissing but don’t tempt a man so much that he falls into depravity.” But that aside, he needed to test it out.
If Alice felt the plant in her just after she kissed Mark, then maybe the trigger was a kiss?
“Well, no harm in trying, I guess.” He said and slid his hand over her neck.
“What is it?” She asked as she watched him close in on the distance.
“What does it look like I’m doing?
I’m going to kiss you.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Okay, so it seems to us that Leo will kiss Alice for the first time here, but let’s not get out hopes high just yet, hehe
