The soft smile that was starting to form on Lane's face instantly vanished.
Right. There was that thing.
Suddenly, Lane began to feel uneasy.
How would Damien feel about Lane's actions? Ignoring Brian and leaving him to drown? Lane might not have cared about being scorned by others, but when it came to Damien…
Damien was a very righteous person. He would surely disapprove of it. Especially since he would know that Lane's situation was nowhere as perilous as others who didn't know Lane's true rank might think… It was far from the worst thing that Damien knew Lane had done in his life, but still.
There was no way he was going to pat him on the back for that. Team Leader Patel knew it, and he had said it purposely. To drive a wedge between the two of them, even if just temporarily, and make Damien falter, so that he could escort Lane to the Allen Guild's hospital without any further issues.
