Overturned Tower

Chapter 333 Touch of Flowers

Even though I had just slept for twelve hours...

But as Russell breathed in the scent of the delphinium, felt her temperature, and rested quietly on her shoulder instead of the pillow, he gradually felt sleepy again.

My stomach has become a little hungry. But he still didn't want to move. He just closed his eyes and used the chip to contact the takeaway.

At this point, there was no need to inject Delphinium with water - and to be honest, he didn't really want to see Delphinium lying on the bed with a pale face and a medicine bottle.

That always reminds him of something bad. It was as if a bright and colorful person turned pale in an instant.

Of course, if she really needed it, Russell could give her an injection... He was still very skilled at this. From dispensing medicine to inserting and removing needles, the entire process is very skilled. After all, he had beaten Alice many times.

During these three days, Delphinium's condition gradually stabilized...

First, the color of his sweat and tears was no longer that dangerous blue, then his body temperature no longer became so high, and then he stopped sweating very much. The expression on his face also became calmer, no longer as painful as it was at the beginning.

Therefore, Russell had a vague feeling that Delphinium was about to wake up. He didn't want to leave her unless necessary.

Russell always had a subtle feeling... She always felt that when she woke up, the first person she saw was not herself, as if something was missing in her heart.

Suddenly, Russell's ears twitched slightly.

He heard keenly that the delphinium's breathing rhythm suddenly changed slightly.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the delphinium with his emerald green pupils.

He soon saw that the corners of Delphinium's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Delphinium opened her eyes and looked at Russell quietly with a smile on her face.

"you're awake!"

Russell sat upright on the bed and said excitedly: "I knew you would be fine!"

So what happens if something happens to me?

Such thoughts came into Delphinium's mind.

But as smart as she was, she didn't say it directly, leaving Russell to worry about the non-existent tragedy.

"I'm back……"

She whispered, her voice soft and hoarse: "Thanks to you, I can come back..."

"Wait a minute, you drink some water first!"

Only then did Russell react. He quickly jumped out of bed, poured a glass of warm water for Delphinium, and helped her sit up slowly to drink it.

Delphinium couldn't help but laugh as she was being helped to sit up: "I'm not that fragile... I'm just a little dizzy."

She drank the cup of hot water in one gulp, and then looked at Russell pitifully: "I'm so hungry..."

"I've ordered takeout, you can eat first..."

Russell said subconsciously, but suddenly realized something was wrong: "Wait a minute, you still have to eat something easy to digest first."

"I want to eat meat."

Delphinium's tone was as cute as a spoiled child: "I want to eat barbecue..."

But Russell became stern: "No! Although I don't understand this, I feel that this must not be possible... I will order you another stomach-nourishing porridge."

"Then I want to drink the porridge you made."

"...but I'm not very good at it."

"It doesn't matter. You can do it without porridge," Delphinium looked at Russell eagerly, "and I can teach you."

It is different from the cool, steady, rational and indifferent temperament that Delphinium always maintains.

After experiencing a battle with the devil, Delphinium woke up again... It was as if she had become enlightened, and there was a subtle softness in her words.

But Russell vaguely sensed a fragile emotion.

So he hugged the delphinium without saying a word.

Delphinium was just quietly held by Russell, and said softly: "What I can actually feel... is what happened outside when I was fighting with the 'lethal amount of love'.

"I also know what you said. What you did."

"...Then, will you blame me?"

Russell whispered: "I could have asked the Paradise Bird to help."

"I would only blame you if you found her...and in that case, I might not be able to wake up."

Delphinium sighed helplessly, and the fragile and delicate feeling in her body gradually dissipated: "It's really not easy... to tame the devil in your heart. You and Mr. Bad Sun are both much better than me..."

"I think you'll be fine."

Russell let go of Delphinium, looked into her eyes, and said seriously: "Because kindness from the heart is a power in itself. A power that comes from the depths of the soul."

If it were the former Delphinium, he would have repeatedly argued that he had no so-called "kindness"... he was just a sinner who had killed someone and had the blood of his relatives on his hands.

But now the Delphinium just looked at Russell, suddenly made a puff, and showed a smile as bright as a blooming flower.

She hugged Russell - she had been unconscious for three days, but her arms were still as strong as ever.

"Thank you...Russell."

Delphinium thanked her sincerely again: "It's all because of you that I can wake up.

"Without your... [love], I might sink to death in that ocean."

Just saying the word "love" would make her cheeks turn red.

And Russell was too shy to answer the question.

He probably also guessed what Delphinium encountered... It should be an investigation from the devil.

In the end, "Lethal Love" recognized Delphinium and was willing to entrust her with his power.

"...But I think I may not be able to live without you now."

Delphinium let go of Russell, stared at him steadily, and sighed softly: "So, how can I keep you?"

Russell couldn't help laughing: "What you said reminded me of a poem."

Then, he shook his head seriously: "I won't leave."

"Have you actually read poetry..."

Delphinium felt a little surprised.

Russell was a little dissatisfied: "What are you talking about? Of course I have read it. The scope of my reading is very wide and miscellaneous."

"Then...can we have a session?"

Delphinium's ice-blue clear pupils stared at Russell, like a puppy with wet longing, and whispered: "That poem you said."

"...Is that a love poem?"

"I'm going to listen to that."

She pursed her dry lips and said seriously.

The second tail behind Delphinium slowly pulled out and slowly went up along Russell's tail spine. But the cold metal made Russell feel a warm burning pain, like red-hot copper.

"I give you all the insight my books can contain, all the manliness and humor I can have in my life..."

Russell whispered softly and chanted melodiously: "I give you the loyalty of a person who has never had faith.

"I give you the core of myself that I managed to preserve...

"Don't make sentences with words, don't trade with dreams,

“A core untouched by time, joy, and adversity.”

It was a poem by Borges that Russell had heard in his previous life.

He could remember it immediately because he felt a strange resonance from it.

He stared into Delphinium's eyes, feeling the heat on his back, and chanted softly, as if he was chanting from his own heart:

“I give you the memory of seeing a yellow rose at sunset, before you were born.

"I give you interpretations about you, theories about you, and true and strange news about you.

“I give you my loneliness, my darkness, my heart’s hunger;

"——I want to bribe you with impermanence, danger, and failure."
