Love The Psycho

Chapter 25: Starved to death in her past life.

''Are you throwing a bait at me?'' Mai asked with a knowing smirk.

''Is it working?'' Dr. Sam asked and smiled.

''No, don't. The next time we meet? It might not be me. Doctor, you know, right? I have DID. Next time, it could be any of my sisters and I doubt they would want to meet you. Honestly, I didn't know we were coming here? Let's say, I got fooled?'' Mai said and looked at the portrait again.

''Really?''

''Yes. My sisters hate doctors. I don't like them either, but, I like science that's why I'm even having this conversation with you'' Mai stood up and picked a scalpel from Dr. Sam's aid box.

''I see. So Mai, before you go, can you answer one question for me?'" Dr. Sam asked and took the scalpel from Mai adding "careful with that"

''Sure, since is just one question, but, it can't be two or three because I will get angry'' Mai frowned feeling the emptiness. She smiled lifting her hands in surrender before going back to sit on the chair.

''Sure. I want to know. Do you and your sisters share the same memory?'' Dr. Sam asked and opened his file.

''No''. Mai answered as a matter of fact and got up with her bag adding ''that's it for today, right? Cos I hate been asked a lot of questions at one time''

''Yes, since you don't want me to ask more than one question''.

''Good. Thanks for the chocolate, see you next time'' Mai waved at Dr. Sam before leaving.

''Take care Mai''.

Dr. Sam took out a picture of two girls in a senior high school uniforms as soon as Mai went out. Dr. Sam looked at the picture. It was a picture of August Maijune and Julieta holding flowers with smiles.

Dr. Sam murmured as he looked at the picture ''what connection do you have with my daughter, August Maijune. Why didn't she ever mention of you?''

....

Aaron Saint noticed a car tailing them since he started driving from the hospital and watched it silently through his rare view mirror.

Meanwhile, Mai oblivious to what he saw pointed at a restaurant on their way and turned to Aaron Saint ''let's stop here and eat before we go home''.

Aaron Saint continued to drive ignoring her and she continued ''Mr. Saint, are you ignoring me? I just said I'm hungry?''

''I saw you munching on a chocolate when you came out of the consulting room'' Aaron Saint said to Mai.Find new 𝒔tories on novelbin(.)com

''That is chocolate, not food'' Mai said and glared at him.

''Let's go home and eat''

''No, I don't want to eat at home. I missed eating outside. I want pizza''.

''I will buy you pizza at a place I know''

''Really?'' Mai exclaimed excitedly. Aaron Saint looked at the mirror as he approached a roundabout. Mai saw a few cars ahead blocking their way in the lone road and said to Aaron Saint ''it looks like we are being followed, Aaron Saint".

''Are you now realising it? You kept talking about food I almost thought you were starved to death in your past life''. Aaron Saint retorted.

''Starved to death? That is unlikely. I was probably found dead with my face stuffed in food. Looks like we won't be getting out of this that easily''. Mai added while looking at the cars.

Aaron Saint saw the cars in front of them and nodded his head saying ''yeah, looks like it''.

Aaron Saint sighed and slowed down as they approached the cars. He turned to Mai and spoke ''Mai, listen to what I'm about to say. I think they might be men from Lorca or maybe himself, I don't want you to panic or show any signs of recognition, okay?''

''Does he think I don't remember anything?'' Mai looked at Aaron Saint and asked.

''Yes, sometime ago, your records went missing for a few hours at Dr. Kash's office and I found out he got someone to find out about you in the hospital''

''He really is fast, but, is August who doesn't remember him not me. Even Maijune knows him'' Mai muttered.

''That is why you must pretend to be August and not expose yourself. Leave everything else to me, right now, we are outnumbered, so we have to be careful''.

''Then, I will listen to you, otherwise, I was thinking of using this'' Mai opened her bag and remover a small bottle containing a liquid spray.

''What's that?'' Aaron Saint snatched the bottle from her.

''Thisthis is a mixture of dangerous chemicals, I made it last night. When this touches the skin, it poow the skin like this'' Mai removed a tissue and poured a little of the liquid on it and the tissue burned and began to melt and Aaron Saint looked at her.

''I was thinking of giving our visitors this little gift but, I guess it won't be today. I will keep it then, Maijune will be happy to use it later on''.

Aaron Saint pulled over in front of the cars and the one behind them blocked the way just like the ones in front of them.

Aaron Saint unbuckled his seatbelt and said to Mai before getting down ''stay inside until I say otherwise'"

''Okay''.

Aaron Saint got down and walked to the cars in front of them while Mai watched him as she sat in their car.

Aaron Saint got to the cars and the bodyguards of Lorca blocked his way as one of them opened the door for Lorca to get down.

Lorca got down and Aaron Saint looked at him coldly as he spoke ''blocking the way in broad day light, are you tired of living in D-City?''

''Off course not, I dare not anger the heir of Saint Group, hi, I am Lorca Don Marco''.

''What is the meaning of this?'' Aaron Saint asked looking at the cars and the people.

''Oh, I just wanted to say hello and also to ask you to give back something of mine which is in your custody''

''Something of yours?'' Aaron Saint chuckled and continued ''the last time I checked, this is my first time of meeting you, so, how could I be keeping something that belongs to you?''

''Mr. Saint, that girl in the car there is my niece. You see, she ran away from home a few years ago. i recently got to know about her whereabouts when one of my men saw her with you''.

''So what? If you saw her with me, do I have to give her to you because you want her?''

''Well, for peace to reign, I suggest you have to. After all, August Maijune is my only family member. I am her uncle''.

''You had the guts to stop me when I'm going home, and asked me to give you someone who has become my person. I Aaron Saint, should give you back my pupil for peace to reign? Don't even dream about it, Lorca or whatever you call yourself, I have full custody over August Maijune, if anyone wants to take her away; then that person must pass through me before getting to her. I don't give my warnings twice. Stay away from what's mine or face the consequences''.

Aaron Saint turned to go and Lorca's men stopped him. Lorca gave a dry laugh and said ''if only you knew who she really is, I guess you two must really have a fate. To be able to meet like this again''.

Lorca raised his hand and signalled to his mean to let Aaron Saint go. Aaron Saint ignored him and went to his car.

One of Lorca's right hand men turned to him and asked.

''Big boss, are we just letting him go?'' Lorca smiled and replied.

''No, for now, yes. But, it won't be for long. We get the girl as soon as they let their guard down. Keep tailing them''.

''Yes, boss''.

Aaron Saint got into his car and Mai looked at him anxiously and asked ''Mr. Saint, are you alright? Did he threaten you?''

''You worry too much''. Aaron Saint patted her hair a little and drove away as the cars parted and made way for him.

''He wants me, right?'' Mai asked solemnly.

''Yes'' Aaron Saint replied as he looked at Lorca and his men one more time before driving away.

''Are you going to send me to him?'' Mai asked back, her voice laced with fear.

''Scared?''

''Am I not allowed to? That man is the definition of what we call unrecyclable human trash. You have no idea what he is capable off. He is a monster''

''You are mine, August Maijune. Anyone who wants to take you away will have to pass through me'' Mai smiled and relaxed.

''Let's go and get you some pizza''.

Mai's mood lightened and she said ''really? I almost forgot about food. Now that you mentioned it, my stomach is growling''.

Aaron Saint chuckled and shook his head as he drove away.
