39 – Rabbits dream, dreams they cannot give up. The dream that now has a chance to reach.

“…Ms. Michelle.”

The person who quietly enters the room with a click is the person she saw yesterday.

Her name… her name… Floren. Mrs. Floren.

With very worried eyes, she carefully grabbed the chair and dragged it over to sit in front of her.

“You can tell about her illness without asking.”

Although her eyes toward me with a light sigh were closed, I couldn’t carelessly face it.

“I can’t cure the disease of the heart, the only way you two can solve it well.”

“…ma’am.”

“I know what you want to say, but that’s all I can say.”

Still burying her head in my arms, she inhaled deeply, stroking her back.

Seeing me like that, my wife frowned as if she didn’t like something.

After taking a deep breath for a moment, she opened her wrinkled eyes and showed me those blue eyes.

“Do you care for her, Mr. Marcus?”

To that question, I tried to answer ‘of course’, but something kept me from leaving my mouth.

He was just spitting out a single word, but why is his mouth so heavy?

Seeing me slightly twitching my eyebrows, my wife quietly continued her story.

“The way I see you is hypocritical. You mix truth with lies, love with questions and doubts. It must be the bitterest feeling for her.”

Her ears, which had been buried in her arms, twitched.

While stroking her hair, I came up with my own protest.

“I love her, ma’am. I haven’t really tried to reject her since I took her.”

“Just from the way I saw you, I can understand why she doubts you.”

In an instant, I felt the air become very heavy.

It felt like something unknown had grabbed my throat.

I can breathe, but it feels like the action has become very uncomfortable.

Such unpleasantness strangled me.

Slowly, she touched her beautiful hand once and handed me an apology.

“I’m sorry… I’m so emotional. I’m not here to find fault with you.”

At the same time, I was able to breathe comfortably once more.

In my arms, she kept pushing her large body against me, still with her head buried in my arms.

“I think I need to talk to the patient for a while, is that okay?”

Kwu-wook, and felt her strength grow stronger.

“Wait, Ellie, the doctor is here…”

As if she didn’t even want to hear it, she shook her head vigorously in her arms and began to push herself harder.

“Puha…”

His head had slipped out of my arms, but now he was resting his chin on my shoulder, making a grunting sound.

“Heh… Heh…”

A hot breath touches the nape of my neck.

A thin hand caresses my back.

And before I knew it, her lower body, which was full of moisture, wrapped around my waist.

Her emotions were intensifying to the extent that she was no longer leaning on me, and that she was entangling me in front of others.

It may be another sign that outsiders are not welcome.

And the moment her face, which had clung to the nape of my neck, was finally about to ride up to my lips –

Took.

and put a hand on her shoulder.

Trembling as if she had been electrocuted, she hurriedly turned her head to greet the outsider.

“…Doctor.”

“Nice to meet you, Miss Michelle.”

Confused, that was the only thing on her face.

Her disregard for outsiders or her focus on me disappeared for a while,

A slightly calmer look came into my eyes.

“Then… how could Mr. Marcus move away for a moment?”

“I don’t like that…”

With her ears still slightly shaking, she expressed her opinion weakly but heavily in a hushed voice.

Kkooook, holding my hand, she looked at me.

“Then, the owner, let’s do what’s in the room. Could you watch over there for a while?”

As I was about to get up, I felt my collar crinkle even more.

she’s still holding on to me

“You won’t get far, will you?”

So I decided to watch from behind Mrs. Floren. Calmly.

poor rabbit.

As soon as we held hands, a very familiar feeling came over me.

Affection. constant affection.

But at the same time, the many emotions weighed down underneath…

Next big is anxiety, then regret, then hatred.

But her two emotions were so great right now that it seemed too difficult for her to dare to look elsewhere.

My gaze was still fixed on the person behind me, and I felt a little bit of impatience.

He must be in the mood to finish it as quickly as possible and cling to him again.

…The feeling of being like a drug addict was terribly familiar.

She wasn’t sure.

It must have been that I became so dependent because I was not sure.

I can’t move on to the next step, and I somehow rely on his kindness to not lose even the present moment.

very similar

To the extent that I inadvertently recalled being by his side.

Enough to remind me of my pathetic appearance once again.

I believed that this rabbit could still do things that I couldn’t do.

So quietly, quietly, I whispered the words I had buried in my heart.

“…Unlike me, don’t you still have a chance?”

Parr, she said, and her ears trembled.

It was me who mumbled, but her ears were definitely sensitive enough to pick up all these sounds.

continued to speak.

“Don’t you know how lucky you are to be with someone who at least understands your feelings very well and is willing to be considerate of them?”

I flinched, my body trembled, and her eyes met mine, burning ever redder.

When she opened her eyes with a little force, blue light shone in her cloudy eyes.

“Your feelings are something I know all too well. Now the things I have are lost and only hovering in the air, wandering in desolation and emptiness…”

At least she still has a chance.

He took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, opened the lid, and handed one pill into her hand.

“You still have a chance.”

Seeing the medicine, her eyes widened slightly.

“Sometimes, beastmen who have a partner can’t overcome the weight of their emotions or instincts like you, so they groan and get sick. Especially when the other person is ambiguous.”

With a sneak peek, her eyes looked at the person behind my back, then back to me.

“I’m sure you know what to do. I hope you’ll think about why I’m giving you this medicine.”

Her hand, which had received the medicine, was still frozen in place.

Anxiety started to grow a little more, but a clear sense of anticipation was also swelling.

“…What are you worried about? The kind of thing that he won’t accept?”

“…not yet, not yet…”

I listened to her whispering words.

“I spent too much money… I have to save up to prepare for what’s to come… but when my body gets heavy, I’m sure the two of us go out… I hate it…”

But her hand, which slowly closed, was talking about something else.

“A child who looks like him… Small and cute, exquisitely beautiful…”

A harsh snort made his collar flutter.

“Then it doesn’t matter if you delay the timing a little. I hope you don’t miss the opportunity when you and he are fully prepared.”

Her eyes were already fixed on him.

In this state, no matter what I say, it won’t reach her.

I let go of my clasped hands and tilted my head once to call the rabbit’s mate.

When I got up to leave, he untied the pocket hanging from his waist and asked me for the price, but I politely declined.

The price for making a foolish choice cannot be paid with money.

What I want to see with this ‘treatment’ is the future that I couldn’t reach.

Someday, I wonder if this poor rabbit was looking at me in the mirror…

Frustrated, he rummaged through coins, but soon his arm was caught, and he had to give it back to the rabbit he was holding.

Bowing his head once more, he moved away so he could focus on the moment with her again.

…And then, there was a cat in front of me.

A cat whose hands were swollen and had to be carefully wrapped in bandages.

“Master and him… how are you?”

I couldn’t be very nice to her.

Yes, it seems that I was connected to that rabbit at some point.

After concentrating for a moment and calming down, I sat down on the first floor and opened my mouth.

“You look like you already know the answer.”

It flinched, and its long tail fluttered.

“…I wonder if I don’t have a chance?”

chance, chance. It wasn’t hard to guess what this requesting cat wanted.

It was very clear in what sense he opened his mouth.

“If you want family affection, you can get it. He’s sweet. Taking a chance is important.”

I drive a nail into the girl who is listening to me with her ears perked up.

“But if you want the affection of a lover… give it up.”

In fact, it may be because I’m projecting myself onto that poor rabbit.

More than that, it was also meant to give the cat a final warning.

Curiosity kills the cat.

And, killing it would be a cornered rabbit.

…When I touched the rabbit’s hand, it was not difficult to guess that the day was near.

If this cat did anything at that moment…

I came to think that maybe I should come to this house for another reason.

For that reason, I hoped that nothing would come.

Fortunately, unlike the other cats I’ve seen, the cat in front of me seems to be fully aware of its position.

He did not ask any further questions and gave her deep consolation as he showed his intentions by quietly lowering his head.

“If you want family affection, that’s all you need, Miss Pelter. You wouldn’t know if Rabbit was a little broad-minded, but…”

Because the rabbit I saw wasn’t that kind of person.

Quietly slipping down the secluded rabbit hole, I returned to my room and picked him up by the nameplate.

“I’m back. Did you wait a long time? Something interesting happened today… would you like to hear it?”
