Chapter 119 Chapter 119 Damon.
Im your sister.
Noelle she said with a playful grin.
Damon wasnt having it.
His faced darkened, and he shot her a sharp look.
Dont play dumb .
You know exactly what Im asking There were too many things about Norẞe that didnt make sense.
She wasnt just skilled, she was too skilled.
Most people her age wouldnt even cclose to what she could do.
It was almost like the had cheated her way through life.
And now, she had taken a bullet, hadnt seen a doctor, and yet, somehow, she seas already healing. Way too fast Damons mind raced.
The only logical explanation was that she had been part stop secret organization, trained for God knows what.
That would explain the insane abilities, the unnatural recovery Noelle saw the way he was looking at her, like he wasnt going to let this go.
Her gaze flickered, her usual carefree expression dimming just a little.
The shift was subtle, but the air around her felt different ity kills the cat.
Her te was light, but there sull, she smiled, Soft, calm, almost lazy.
I get that youre curious, but you know what they say curiosity was something sharp underneath.
I really dont want you dying just yet.
So how about stop asking? Because if she told him the truth, she would have to kill him to keep him quiet. People al e always thought Noelle was all fun and games, nothing but smiles and jokes. But when she got serious, she had a way of making the air go Damon felt it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA quiet warning He stared at her, his usual confidence shaken just a little .
Noelle ... For a second he wasnt sure how to respond.
Then, almost like he was switching topics out of nowhere, he asked.
By the way where are the Noelle blinked at him, caught off guard by the question.
Hmm Assassins? She tilted her head, her expression all wide eyed innocence, like she had no clue what he meant.
Then, after a beat, she smiled and asked, Damon, are you sure you want to know what happened to them? Noelie didnt really mind selling him, but she figured it might freak Damon out Damon suddenly felt a chill run down his spire.
His throat felt dry, but he finally managed to ask, Umh, are they gonna be a problem for us They wont Noelle grinned.
Chill.
Theres no way this comes back to us, I swear.
Ikamon just stared at her, completely at a loss for words After everything that happened today.
Damon saw Noelle in a whole new light.
All the things she had said before, the ones he brushed off, were Marting to seem a lot more real He remembered that night after the competition, during the celebration party.
Two guys from the team had ined to pull something on Noelle, and she had beaten them so badly they were barely breathing.
At the time, she had looked at him, dead serious, and asked if she should just finish the jobs and get rid of the evidence.
He thought she was joking, but now ... he wasnt so sure.
If he hadat stopped her back then, she would have actually done it.
That thought alone made his blood run cold.
For the first tam tame, Damon felt something close to fear when it cto Noelle .
And worse, he started worrying about the Anderson family as a whole.
This girl is dangerous.
What if someone in the family crossed her one day? What if she got pissed off and- Ne Damon denteven want to fish that thought.
The car fell into an eerie silence.
Nyelle, meanwhile, was watching him, her head tilting slightly as she took in his expression.
His face kept shifting, going pale, then dark, like he was dast in sotar horrible thought.
She blinked.
What the hell is he thinking After a moment, she tried to put herself in his shors, just like Nick hard taught her Then, it clicked Her eyes brightened, and she let out a small laugh before flashing Damon a reasuring umile.
1/2 773 AM C☐ Chapter 119 Damon, are you seriously worried that Id hurt you? she asked, amused.
Con.
Youre my family.
Youre not like the others.
And if anyone ever Toner 1 after you.
Ill be the one protecting you.
As if to prove her point, she reached over and gave his head a light pat, like she was comforting a scared puppy It was almost funny, considering she was about to kill him earlier.
But in Noelles mind, none of this contradicted itself.
If it werent for the labs orders, she would never lay a hand on her family.
In fact, she would do the opposite; shed protect them.
After all, she liked them.
There was no reason to kill them.
Damon stared at Noelle, unsure what to say.
He had wanted to ask if everything was true.

However, then he remembered, ΠΙ back at the illegal street race, when they got ambushed by those thugs.
They had threatened to break his hand, and it was Noelle who had stepped in to protect him. And this time, she had taken the hit for him.
That was the only reason she was so badly injured.
Even the assassins admitted it Noelle was fast enough to dodge bullets.
If he hadnt slowed her down, she wouldnt have gotten shot at all.
Damons gaze drifted to Noelles face.
She might have been acting all casual, laughing like it was no big deal, but her body couldnt lie.
Noelle must be in pain.
Her usual healthy glow was gone, replaced by a sickly paleness.
Even her lips had lost their color.
She was clearly holding on Is she pretending so I wont worry? That thought hit him harder than he expected. A wave of guilt crept in as he remembered how, just moments ago, he had been afraid of her.
He had actually thought she might kill them if she ever got angry.
But the truth, when it really mattered, Noelle had been the one to protect him.
Not many people would do that.
Damon feli silly for having such negative thoughts about his sister over something that hadnt even En happened. Damon sat there, wrestling with everything that had just happened.
Finally, he looked at Noelle again.
He wasnt great with emotional stuff, but for the first time, he reached out, resting a hand on her head.
Noelle ....
thanks for this one.
