章 62: The Red Painting

Lev who finally understood the woman's friendliness came from her feelings of wanting to see her late younger brother, couldn't help but to stay around. He offered the woman a kind smile and continued to talk with her even though at first he had planned for it to be a short meeting. On the other hand, the woman stared at him, smiling softly in a thought. 

"So what is your name?" Asked the woman. 

"Lev," responded him. "It's nice to meet you."

"Those words are mine," responded the woman. "And my name is Rachel. That's how most people call me, it's a shame that I have to go now but I hope next time I could talk with you again." 

"Likewise," he said, offering it with kindness as he knew how much he would pay to talk with the family members that have left the world, such as those nuns who had worked so hard to raise him even though in the end they have failed to completely protect him from danger.
