Chapter 41 Chill

• Emelia stares at me is surprise. Her lips are open and look shiny because of my and her saliva. “ Cody, I... Thank you.” She seems to say something special, but she stops and thanks me. “ Why are you thanking me?” Amilia looks me in the eye and smiles. “ Thank you for treating me equally and thank you for treating me with love.” Love? I am the one who is surprised this time. Is this called love? What is love? I do not know. I have only seen my father bullying my mother and my mother is suffering. My mother told me it was because of love. I have always thought that love means being tortured willingly. Why does Emelia say that I am treating her with love? What kind of love is this?
• I do not ask these questions out and of course Emelia does not answer me. She looks at me quietly. Me in her eyes looks confused. I quickly change my facial expressions and pretend to be calm. I lower my head and take some of the cream onto my hand and rub it between my fingers to warm it up. Then I bring my fingers down onto a huge gash across her chest. I apply the cream as gentle as I can, But I am Leah cusp in pain immediately. She shuts her eyes with a strange look on her face. She buys her lip and tries her best not to whimper. I know she is enduring very hard. I say, “ Shout it out loud if it hurts.” Emelia opens her eyes and smiles softly, “ Go ahead. It does not matter.”
• I am stunned when I hear this answer. She is actually comforting me. I remember the first time I beat her. She looked me in the eye and struggled to explain for herself in public. She is like a little beast fighting for her self. I can easily see the long piercing spines covering her body. She is prepared to pierce through whoever wants to dominate her. When I tried to give her a lesson, she screamed and shouted loudly. She tried to argue with me and persuaded me all the time. She was like a wild horse which could never be principled. However, she behaves well and smiles softly at me to comfort me even if I hurt her, just because I treat her equally. Is Equity so important? If it works well on Amilia, will it work well on other humans?
