“Lucas, are you okay? Where are you?! Are you safe?”

Suddenly, Creed, or should I say, Amadeus Gideon, went hysterically worried as he heard his brother’s voice.

Who wouldn’t be? I’m surprised as he is too.

“Okay… But please, take care of yourself… I’m fine here, don’t worry. Visit me when it’s safe, okay?… Love you, pal!” There I conclude that they’re finished talking.

I saw Creed stare at the phone for a moment before looking at me.

“Nix!” He walked towards me. “Thank you!” I got goosebumps when he enclosed me with a hug. “Thank you for letting me talk to my brother!”

I stood still and the latter did soon realized what he just did. He broke the hug and looked at me awkwardly.

I gestured to him to keep quiet since someone might hear us, or much worst, Uncle Ino might catch us.

Even though there are no CCTV’s here because it’s the exit, we still can’t make noises.

“Shh! I told you not to be noisy,” I hissed as he went near me.
