"Thank you for preferring to fall in love. That way you can be a normal man. I hope there will be warmth in your heart." Lev smiled brightly at Spider. For the first time, he was able to thrill Spider's heart.
"Was I that bad in your eyes all this time?" Spider curled his lips wryly.
Lev sighed again. "You spill blood without thinking first, just because someone looks a little threatening to you."
"I protect my clan, my family…"
"And also expand the area of power," Lev interrupted as if to remind Spider right then and there.
Spider looked a bit blushed. "This is to fulfill my promise to my father." Spider looked sad at that time too.
"I'm not sure about that. I only see the anger and hurt in your eyes when you take the lives of others." Lev looked at Spider pleadingly. "You can stop doing all those things right now. Focus on winning yourself and healing your soul! And I think you've found the right home and remedy by now."
What Lev meant was Luci. Before Spider's meeting with Luci, he had a very tough character. Spiders are vile when it comes to killing. But his abominations were not like Evan's.
Spiders don't like torturing their victim. He is a typical person who immediately slashes the weapon in his hand until his opponent is decapitated. Or Spider is the type of person who will shoot at a target so that he/she can die on the spot.
And when Spider does it all, Lev is always watching him secretly. Lev can see that in Spider's eyes there is always a very great wound and grudge. Because Lev already loves Spider-like his son, he has become very worried lately.
"I wish the medicine and a home would come to me." Spider took a deep breath. Wound after wound began to come to him.
The wound started from the abuse carried out by the Dusky family when Spider was a child. The little Spider was battered and his face crushed beyond recognition. Then after being thrown into the forest there was a hunter who found him.
However, not the proper treatment that Spider got.
The little Spider was treated until he recovered, but after that, he was made a slave in the house. His life was not far from violence. Then after that, the hunter was attacked by a group of people. Spider survived by hiding somewhere underground.
He had to wait until everything was safe. He was thin and unwell when he came out, all the houses had been burned by the assailant. And there wasn't a single person that Spider could meet.
'It was a painful time,' Spider thought sadly.
Spider continued his daydream. He was then stranded on the streets when he was a kid. His violent life had made him anxious about meeting strangers. Because when he was a slave in the hunter's house, he was often beaten by anyone who wanted to beat him. No exception to the friends or colleagues of the hunter who found it.
But fortunately, not long after living on the streets, in dire circumstances, Mike J. Diamond 'picked up' him with his own hands.
'Even then I almost wet the bed because I saw father,' recalled Spider. Tears welled up in his eyes. For him, Mike J. Diamond was an angel who had healed him and given him a second life.
'I thought I'd been healed all this time. But I haven't, have I?' continued Spider with a puzzled look.
"You said she had a previous lover and he is dead." Lev also slurred which then startled Spider's reverie about his past.
"Right. So can I still have the medicine and the home? Sometimes I don't trust myself, Lev. Bee is beautiful and sweet. She can position herself and warm even the coldest person's heart. There's not a single person who wouldn't like her." Spider held his chest.
"And I found that I had a lot of flaws. What's more, Bee still seems to think of me as his family, nothing more," continued Spider.
Lev pondered for a moment to think. He may be an old man but his creativity is very good.
"This is what your children are for, sir. We'll help you get her." Lev said very nicely.
"What? You're not thinking of taking her hostage are you?" Spider asked in a skeptical tone.
"Hahaha, of course not. We will show her warmth. We will make her feel attached to this family. So raise your face, sir! We will take young Lady's heart to be yours."
Hearing Lev support him wholeheartedly had made Spider so happy. Even a smile like a child couldn't be hidden by Spider.
"That's Lev, my second father. I'll order champagne for all of us. I'll also buy upscale steaks for us. Tell the others not to eat out for dinner." Spider patted Lev's shoulder happily.
...
Hans was still reading a book of fairy tales a moment ago until Tedy came and approached him.
"Where's Aunt Amy?" asked Hans then.
"She's with her friends," Tedy replied.
They discussed ordinary and normal things at first, such as discussing Hans' condition and also Tedy's job until then discussed something else.
"Hans, can I ask you something?" asked Tedy with a slightly dubious face.
"Sure. What is it that you want to ask Uncle that makes Uncle's face hesitate?"
"Hah, why are you so good at reading other people's expressions? This way I feel defeated even before fighting with you." Tedy stroked Hans' head in a ruffled motion. Even though Hans's hair had just grown due to the effects of chemotherapy.
"Haha, what did Uncle want to ask?" asked Hans again. He doesn't like wasting time. For Hans, all matters must be resolved immediately because he is a very busy boy.
He had to read his stack of fairy tales because Tedy and Luci always bought them. His schedule is also filled with treatment and therapy activities to cure his cancer.
"Has Luci been on a date recently?" Tedy's question could arise because he always remembered when he found Luci sleeping on the sofa with a man. After all, it was Evan.
"Date? Not. I don't think so. Why, Uncle?" Hans was getting restless. Even though he asked Luci to immediately forget about Daniel so that he could match Luci with Spider
'If Sister Lu goes on a date other than Uncle Whipped, he will be angry with me then,' Hans thought a little nervously.
"Is that true? How strange," Tedy muttered to himself.
This made Hans even more curious. "Why, Uncle? Honestly, I just asked Sis Luci to forget about Brother Daniel."
Tedy's eyes widened. "Is that true? Well, it's only right that she wants that, it turns out that you asked for it."
'True? Is that true?' thought Hans innocently. "What's going on?" Hans urged Tedy.
"I went to her flat yesterday. Yeah, there's some business. It was quite the night. And I found…"
Hans brought his face closer to Tedy with a very curious face.
"I found her sleeping with a man on the sofa," said Tedy which instantly made Hans cover his mouth in disbelief.
'Disaster! This is a disaster! Sis Luci is not allowed to sleep with other men except with Uncle Whipped,' the little boy thought.
