New Life : A Second Chance

Chapter 757 - Confused

Kay was truly glad that the picture of the deceased was covered. She felt it may have been too much for Kyle to handle, seeing his death picture. Against her advice to him, Kyle also wanted to view the casket.

'Saying goodbye', he said.

Kay couldn't say anything to that.

As they neared the casket, Sayuri and Kay naturally took a step back to allow Kyle to be the first. It was his day, after all.

Looking at his straight back, she couldn't fathom what sort of emotions and thoughts were being experienced by Kyle right now. She could only, as always, silently stand behind him and be his pillar.

Kay looked at Sayuri and wondered whether she could become her brother's pillar as well. From the initial looks of it, it did seem so.

Sure, they may be friends with benefits, but Kay saw how her brother had been healed from the worst of the pain last night. That couldn't have been achieved just from having s.e.x. There had to be some sort of deeper connection, and that the physical intimacy was only a natural occurrence because of it.

At least, that was what Kay believed. She didn't think her brother, who was normally so careful with the opposite s.e.x, would suddenly dive straight into this sort of relationship.

She would need to observe more before she could make a conclusion.

As it was, things appeared to be good so Kay would naturally step back in this matter. Kyle was her brother, and she was merely his sister - not his keeper. Though many thought that they were like that to each other.

No one could truly understand the bond between them, that transcended the concept of 'siblings'. The bond was both a boon, and a bane.

A boon because she always had Kyle that would support her no matter what she did. A bane, because she felt that she was taking more than she was giving. It couldn't be helped, of course, since he was - technically - the a.d.u.l.t, but knowing that, and accepting that, were two different things.

Kay gave a deep sigh.

At least just her presence was enough to calm him down but Kay knew, he needed someone that could truly stand by his side to complete him.

Kay gave Sayuri a side glance and noted the concern on her face as she observed Kyle.

Kay hid her smile, for that would be inappropriate to be seen when people were mourning at the funeral parlour.

Kay and Sayuri were at the apartment, having left Kyle back at the graveyard to talk to Stephan, his ex-spouse.

"Do you think Stephan will agree?" asked Sayuri as they sat in the living room while the renovators were working double-time to ensure everything was in place.

Sayuri was referring to Kyle's plan in getting his kids to stay over at the apartment. She looked at the workers efficiently making the bedrooms just the way Kyle had instructed and which Kay had arranged.

She was truly amazed at how fast the twins worked.

Kyle mentioned it, planned it out and Kay executed it (well, Zero and the others did but Kay was the one that they referred to for details).

The fact that they talked to each other mentally as well made the whole process faster as they didn't need to meet to fine-tune the details.

Kay shrugged, "Although he is a variable that Kyle has no control over, from my experience - well, let's just say that the things he plans tend to go the way he planned them."

Kay looked around, "The kids would definitely come. What's uncertain is when they'll be able to come as they're going to have to get everyone's agreement. Whatever it is, the apartment will be ready within a day or two."

She sighed as she held the file that contained the name of the mastermind behind Kylie's death.

Finding out that it was Country M's own Minister of Defence had been a total shock to the both of them. Now that the initial shock had subsided, Kay's thoughts churned over how Kyle was going to take it.

Sayuri, seeing that file that Kay took again, asked, "What do you think Kyle will do with that information?"

Kay shrugged and threw the file back onto the table.

"The only thing he can do," Kay said softly, "Eliminate."

She leaned back on the sofa and hugged a cushion close to her c.h.e.s.t, "How and when, however, would be the mystery. For now, the main thing he'll be thinking about would be his kids."

"Lianne appears to the one most affected," observed Sayuri.

"Perhaps," Kay said.

"You don't think so?" Sayuri asked, looking at her curiously.

"I wouldn't say that," Kay replied, frowning, "I mean, it appears from the surface that Joseph is taking it way better than Lianne, but I somehow don't think so. He's hiding things pretty well and pretty deep."

"I can't say who amongst the siblings is the most affected, but I can definitely say that Joseph is affected far more than he let on," explained Kay.

"You could catch that?" Sayuri asked, surprised.

As one who specialised in the art of seduction, analysing and observing people was one of the things Sayuri did as well. Thus, what Kay said wasn't really a surprise to her as she, herself, felt that Joseph was putting up a front.

However, she didn't have enough time to really delve into it as she was more concerned with Kyle. Kay, on the other hand, not only picked that point up but she had also managed to come to the conclusion that the pain Joseph felt was deep.

"He reminds me a lot of Kyle, actually," Kay said with a frown, "Perhaps it's because Kylie raised him? So there are bound to be some similarities in personalities?"

This fact confused her greatly ... and worried her as well.
