Chapter 125 - Time Cannot Heal Every Pain

Alex shook Emmy's body with all his might. He saw that she was frowning and screaming with her eyes shut tightly. Both her fists were clenched and her body was very stiff. Elder Rotrigues and Lathodore had their hearts in the mouth by now. Elder Miandrake looked at Gabriella worriedly and she also knew that technique went wrong somewhere. 

According to their study, after drinking the concocted medicine which had an immense amount of the poisonous herb Alvish, the patient will be entering into a deep coma. The patient would not have any control of their body and from outside it would look like the person is dead for the following three days straight. However, seeing the changes in Emmy, Gabriella also got worried. She could not think of any solutions other than making Emmy conscious now.

" What should we do to wake her up ?"

Rotrigues asked Miandrake who was standing perplexed. Seeing the blank expression on Miandrake's and Gabriella's faces, Alex knew that things had gone out of their hands also. He couldn't blame them right now as it was purely Emmy's choice to experiment herself with this kind of concocted medicine. 

Emmy after screaming was now moving her body frantically as she was devoid of air. Alex shut his eyes tight and took a deep breath in, then he inched closer towards her lips and blew all the air inside his lungs to her mouth. He repeated this method repetitive times and after the seventh time, Emmy started to breathe calmly and soon returned to the normal state.

Rotrigues felt thankful to Alex but as a senior didn't want to appreciate him whereas Elder Lathodore approved of this young man then and there itself. Miandrake quickly took Emmy's pulse and found it normal.

" This is strange. Her heartbeats are normal."

Alex who was stabilising his breathing looked at Miandrake in a questioning manner, "Having normal heartbeats isn't it a sign of good health, why do you say it is strange?". The question raised by Alex was running through the other two elders' minds.

Hearing Alex's doubt, Gabriella chose to answer this time, " Having Alvish is really tricky, it directly affects the brain and heart as it has the ability to stop the flow of blood into them. So along with the person's complete consciousness being cut off, it also raises abnormal heart rhythm. Hence, having normal pulses is rather strange in this case.

"Can you make it more clear, please? Is Emmy in any kinds of danger now? "

Both Gabriella and Miandrake chose to be silent towards Rotrigues's interrogation. The later wanted to give Miandrake few beating as he hadn't experimented it well before administering to Emmy. Alex was also losing his patience but he remained calm and quietly sat beside Emmy holding her hands which were red in colour as she had clenched those really tight under the fit.

" If my love is true to my words then let my luck shower on her and let her pain rain upon me," Alex thought in his mind. The stubborn tears which were on the verge of his eyes found their way out. Others could see only his shoulders moving up and down as he had buried his face in her hands.

Meanwhile, on the other end, Emmy opened her eyes. Those eyes were bloodshot and the red arteries were clearly seen. She had felt that her brain had been stuffed with loads of memories. The suffocation and nightmares once again flashed in her mind.

" Now, tell me, am I not correct? He needs to scram away from him as soon as possible. No matter how strong you become, your weak point is love. It will affect you soon. That man had only brought hurt for you till now and in the next few decades also, with him in your life, you shall be put in life staking situations. Emmy, understand, Alex only cares for him, he may not even care what happens to him after achieving what he wants."

"I am Emmetina Esbertraz and this won't change in this lifetime. I don't care what had happened before, for me, everything changed when I made the promise to him. You don't need to interfere in my business anymore."

Emmy's voice was cold and sharp at the same, it was as a warning to the precious princess of the great dark clan. Both the women were glaring at each other. Finally, it was Anitemme who broke the silence at last.

" You will learn only when he inflicts the same pain once again on you. I pity you, how can you support that man even when you know the truth now, huh!"

Emmy still was glaring at Anitemme as she was watching a mad woman rambling on somethings which she was not concerned about.

Seeing Emmy standing silently with a sneer on her face, Anitemme understood that Emmy hadn't believed her at all. She wanted to thrash some sense into the latter's head but stood there helplessly.

At last, Emmy spoke, " Don't think with your identity, I will side with you. No never… I will believe what I see and feel. But knowing the past is a good thing and don't worry, if the past repeats, I won't be as stupid as you to lose the most important treasure of a woman. "

" You…. Don't forget, it was your own..."

"Enough"

Emmy roared. The only offspring of the great enchantress had never been screamed on in her lifetime and today she was scolded by her junior. Nevertheless, Lady Vilmon stood there spitting venom in her mind.

" I already said, I won't be such a shameless person who didn't dare to confront reality and after losing everything pointed the blame to some other's head. What happened previously, you were also at fault but till now why are you spiked up? It has been so long and you won't be able to return anymore, so let the time heal everything. Just let it go.."

" Not even in any lifetime can I forgive that vile man… and those who say that time can heal everything haven't felt the pain themselves. Emmy, remember one thing, time cannot heal every pain… some remains in our heart forever and Alex is my only pain."

Emmy raised her eyebrows after hearing Lady Vilmon's words. She knew in her heart how much had the young Anitemme Vilmon had suffered due to Alex but the fault lay on both sides and she won't hate Alex for the past encounters. This life … as Emmetina Esbertraz, she loved Alex much more than Lamia and Lady Vilmon had loved him. After recovering the memories, she was in a bliss that whatever Alex said was true and there was more which he didn't know at all.

Emmy calmed down after thinking of it and saw the forlorn expression on Lady Vilmon's face. 

" You still love him, don't you?"

" No..."

A quick response was heard but Emmy knew that it was the woman's stubborn mind answering. If this powerful being had hated Alex in real life, he wouldn't have lived after fake engagement day and would have met the same fate as Agrona Agnartic.

Seeing Emmy smiling at her, Anitemme could not believe that this girl had the audacity to question her and the smile on her face concluded that she hadn't bought her answer.

" The question is not whether I still love him or not, but you being hurt. He will hurt you in future and I don't want that to happen. I cannot disclose what is in the future to you but like to warn you about it. Staying away from him is better."

Emmy nodded her head and laughed. " Alright, thanks for the advice but I cannot stay away from him because I love him. See he is still holding my hand and crying, he too loves me. Even though in the future, he might hurt me but I won't get disheartened. I will fight for my love and for my happiness."

Listening to Emmy's words, Anitemme decided to leave. Now what the future has for Emmy cannot be changed and this was Anitemme's last try to change her future.

" Goodbye, I will reappear here only when you both separate and you are alone in that unknown place all by yourself. "

Lady Vilmon bid goodbye To Emmy and turned to see Alex once more. In her eyes, there were a lot of questions but after lining the memories she knew, all the answers for those questions which were hunting her for the past years.

Emmy also closed her eyes and soon she felt again amidst never-ending darkness. After a few seconds, Emmy opened her eyes to see Alex trembling holding her hands.

" Alex, I am back."

Alex, who had thought that he had lost his soul heard a faint voice. As he was leaning near to her, only he could hear her voice. 

" Am I hallucinating?"

Alex asked himself wiping away his tears, then he saw it clearly that Emmy had opened her eyes already. Her smile was radiant and the air around her was so energetic.

" Elders, Emmy is awake. Check on her quickly."

Hearing Alex shouting, Gabriella was the first one to rush over. She took Emmy's pulse and checked her eyes. The three elders also approached quickly.

"How is she? is there side-effects ?"
