Chapter 567 - Surprise Visitor (2)
The white haired girl standing by the bed saw the way Lin Fan and Lu'er had their guard up, so she asked, "What's wrong with the two of you?"
Lin Fan and Lu'er really wanted to roll their eyes at her, but they held it back.
Lu'er asked in a hesitant voice, "What are you doing here?"
The white haired girl didn't even look at Lu'er and she looked right at Lin Fan as she said, "What? I can't come here if something of mine was stolen?"
It was clear by the underlying dangerous tone in her voice what she meant by that.
Lin Fan revealed a bitter smile as he shook his head, but he didn't say anything.
In fact, both of them wanted to roll their eyes and say, "If Angela was better, would you dare come here?"
But then the white haired girl knitted her brows as she looked down at Angela sleeping in the bed. After a while, she turned back to ask, "Her situation is much more serious than I thought. Have you already made the medicine?"
Lu'er gave a nod before saying, "They're making the medicine right now."
The white haired girl's brows relaxed a bit before saying, "Good, if she dies, then there's no one that will defend this realm. I don't want to be the one fighting those annoying people."
She turned back to Lin Fan and asked, "How do you plan on compensating me for what you've done?"
Lin Fan felt a chill run down his back when he heard this.
It was clear that she wasn't happy about being tricked, so now it seemed like she was here for revenge, but she should know that she couldn't kill him after what had just happened earlier.
Then, could it be that she was just…?
Angela suddenly stirred after the white haired girl said this and she raised a hand to grab the sleeve of the white haired girl.
The white haired girl was surprised when she felt someone pulling on her sleeve. When she turned to see that it was Angela, she knitted her brows and asked, "What are you doing?"
Angela looked right into her eyes and said with a determined look, "You can't touch him, he's under my protection."
The white haired girl knitted her brows once again as she asked, "Are you sure about that?"
Angela just stared her right in the eyes without looking away.
The white haired girl knitted her brows even more, but she didn't say anything.
The two of them continued their staredown until someone suddenly said something that broke the tension.
That someone was Lin Fan.
Lin Fan directly asked, "Why don't you just ask how she's feeling if you're worried about her?"
All three of the girls in the room revealed stunned looks when they heard this.
No matter how one looked at it, this seemed like a situation where they could break out in a fight at any second. It didn't seem like how someone would act if they were worried about someone else at all.
However, the strange thing was that after a moment of silence, there was a blush that suddenly appeared on the face of the white haired girl.
When she spoke, she even stuttered a bit as she said, "What, what kind of nonsense are you, you talking about? How could I, I be worried about her?"
As she said this, she also made sure to glare at Lin Fan with eyes that seemed like they could pierce right through him.
But before Lin Fan could say a thing, Angela suddenly asked, "Were you worried about me?"
The white haired girl heard this and the blush became even stronger on her face as she turned it away from Angela. Then she said in a low voice, "Humph, who would be worried about…"
But before she could finish, Angela had already pulled her hand and she sat down on the bed, allowing Angela to hug her as she said, "Thank you for worrying about me."
The white haired girl was taken aback by this, but then she lowered her head and said, "I just didn't want to deal with what happened after you died, so I wanted to see if you would live through this."
Lu'er had a shocked look on her face, but Lin Fan revealed a faint smile when he saw this.
He had a feeling that things would end like this.
After all, when he had met the white haired girl, the encounter had been very strange.
While the white haired girl had hurt him with the first attack, everything after that seemed different once she figured out who he was. While there was still hostility in her actions, it was a different kind of hostility, one that Lin Fan was actually familiar with.
As a rich young master, naturally Lin Fan didn't have a lack of attempts at arranged marriages. He had gone to many of these meetings and had seen many girls from other rich families, but that wasn't the point here.
The point was the way the parents had looked at him, it was with that look of hostility that seemed like they didn't think he was good enough for their daughters.
Well of course, they had a point since he was an infamous young master, but that was how he had gotten familiar with this kind of gaze.
The way that the white haired girl had looked at him was just like this, it was as if she didn't feel that he was good enough for Angela.
However, if they were really enemies like everyone had said they were, why would she look at Lin Fan like this?
That was unless the way she really felt was…
Then after getting over her shock and her shyness, the white haired girl suddenly looked at Angela with a confused look and asked, "Who are you? This isn't the way you normally act."
Angela just looked at her with a faint smile and said, "I've changed over the past few months. I've learned a few more things."
The white haired girl still had a confused look, but based on the trace of happiness in her eyes, it was clear that she wasn't against it.
Then Angela said, "I've always wanted to be your friend, but you've always avoided me, so I didn't know how to go about it. Now that I know that you care about me too, I can finally ask this. Do you want to be my friend too?"
The white haired girl was once again taken aback, but then she gave a nod and said in a low voice, "Un."
Angela revealed a happy smile and hugged her again.
Lu'er had been standing on the side with a stunned look the entire time, but Lin Fan suddenly asked her, "Is the medicine not ready yet?"
Lu'er snapped out of her daze and immediately said, "I'll go check on them now." Then without any hesitation, she went right out of the room.
Lin Fan turned back to look at Angela holding the white haired girl and he couldn't help thinking of how she acted with the children (pets). It seemed like she really had learned quite a few things about compassion after being with them for a few months now.
She was completely different from the ice cold girl that he had first met when he came to this realm.
Of course, just because she was acting differently now didn't mean that she was a different person, rather it was more like the personality that had been hidden underneath her cold exterior. After all, she was someone who was expected by everyone in this realm to be their calm and wise ruler, so she couldn't act the way she really wanted even though she was a kind girl deep down.
It was also why Angela hadn't been able to deal with the white haired girl the entire time.
It wasn't because she wasn't able to beat her, rather she wasn't willing to beat her.
Lin Fan was clear that Angela at her full power was stronger than this white haired girl, so the only reason she hadn't been able to deal with her was because she didn't want to.
Why didn't she want to?
It was clear by what she was doing that she wanted to befriend this white haired girl all along, but they just never had the chance to do so.
Lin Fan looked at Angela and seeing the happy smile on her face, he couldn't help revealing a faint smile too.
But then after a while, he pulled the white haired girl out of her embrace and pushed her back down as he said, "That's enough, you still need to rest."
Angela had a clear unwilling look in her eyes, but she still laid down like Lin Fan told her to.
The white haired girl couldn't believe what she had seen.
This was the ice cold ruler of their realm, why was she acting like an obedient child in front of this weak human?
Where was the ice cold queen who had been perfect? Where was the ruler of this realm that she had looked up to and even wanted to become one day?
While she was happy that she was now friends with Angela, she still couldn't feel a bit unwilling when she saw her change like this.
The white haired girl bit her lip for a bit before suddenly asking, "What happened to you? How did you become like this? This isn't the real you!"
Then she looked at Lin Fan with a hostile look that even had a bit of killing intent and said, "Did he do something to you?"
