Chapter 403 I Didn’t Write That Letter
“Even though my main duty right now is to protect you, Ludwig’s voice was soft, like a trembling still take on some high–level missions from the group-
“High–level?” Jean Ginger’s eyes widened slightly.
I remembered that tasks from Abyssal Choir rarely involved anything like arson or murder. They weren’t supposed to be that difficult…
So, what kind of mission had Ludwig taken on to end up this badly injured?
“You’re that good, and you still got hurt this badly?” Jean tilted her head and muttered without meaning to
I always saw Ludwig through rose–tinted glasses, like he could do anything. I kept forgetting he was flesh and blood too
He looked like he’d been injured for days now-
And after so many days, he still wasn’t healed. He looked terribly weak…
“I’m not that great,” Ludwig leaned lightly against the headboard, lips curled into a calm smile.
“While carrying out the mission,” the corner of his eyes lifted slightly, as if recalling the past, “I ran into an unexpected situation…”
“It was Moon who brought me back. I passed out from my injuries and don’t remember anything after that Ludwig said those dangerously intense words in the calmest voice possible.
Moon. That was Jolene’s codename.
So even Jolene had to step in?
That must’ve meant things were really bad back then…
Jean studied Ludwig’s expression carefully. She wanted to ask more, maybe get him to tell her exactly wha had happened…
But the boy in front of her didn’t seem willing to say much.
I got it, honestly. Whatever happened must’ve been painful. Asking him to go over it again would be like ripping the sc off a wound…
Jean pressed her lips together and, wisely, didn’t push further.
“How long have you been recovering here?” she shifted the topic without making it obvious, eyes full of worry as she looked at Ludwig.
Ludwig instinctively swallowed. Adam’s apple moved up and down slightly before he slowly spoke up, “About a week… After Moon brought me back, they sent me straight here. I never went back to the Palette Building in StellarFord…”
His words came slowly, like talking itself took effort.
“If this hadn’t happened, I’d probably still be staying at the Palette Building,” Ludwig’s voice rose just a littl
but his tone remained even.

Jean raised her eyes slightly and focused on his gaze
“You don’t show up at school often, but I was worried that if something happened, you wouldn’t be ab find me… Ludwig went on. “Sure, we have our badges to communicate, but they’re not foolproof There times when they just don’t work
Because I was afraid you’d come looking for me and not know where to go, I’d planned to stay at the Palett Building. It’s relatively comfortable there too. But my injuries were too serious. After I was brought here T spent most of the time unconscious. Even when I was awake, it was rare….
At this point, Ludwig’s lips lifted in a fake–lighthearted way. “You’re actually pretty lucky today. I just happened to be feeling a little better–awake, and with enough strength to open the door for you…
Jean listened in silence, an odd feeling twisting quietly in her chest.
After all of this, he still worried about me.
“The note in the Palette Building, you saw it, right?” Ludwig changed the subject instantly, and talked about
the note.
Jean nodded, “Of course-‘
”
She hummed in half–smile, “If I hadn’t seen it, how could I have reached here?”
“Actually, I didn’t write the note.” Ludwig blinked his eyes and said.
