Chapter 90 - HIS CURSE

"I simply want to make it simple for him. He has been pestering me for the whole day, just to ask about the monster," she complained.

"Both of you are not allowed to talk about that in public."

"I am not talking about it, he did." Blue pointed an accusing finger at Nikolai.

Meanwhile, the boy raised both of his hands. "But, no one was there, I am sure there was no one listening."

"Ah…" Gael sighed deeply when he saw this. Children…

=================   

Nikolai's house had been renovated and it looked worth living in again. Probably after the attack of the minotaur, his father finally realized that they wouldn't be able to live in such a house.

"Thank you, Mr. McKeltar," Nikolai said as he came out of the car.

Gael waved his hand and was about to drive away when he heard his phone ringing. He took the call first before he drove away.

It was Nathen.

Everything that he said would be important, thus he took the call.

"Yes?" Gael listened to what he was saying and Blue could see his expression change instantly. "What? Are you sure about that?"

Gael's jaw clenched tightly as his grip on the steering wheel tightened.

"I will be there immediately," Gael said before he hung up the phone. He reversed the car a little before he turned the car around. He headed in the opposite direction.

"Hm? Where are we going?" Blue asked him when she realized they were not heading to their home.

"I have to handle a matter for a while, no biggie, just a little bit of a problem, you can wait inside the car, okay?" Gael said. He looked restless and Blue assumed he was not telling the truth.

"Okay," Blue agreed with him and crawled to the backseat as she took a nap there, not really caring where Gael would take her.

==================== 

"Blue. Wake up. Blue."

Gael shook her awake when they arrived at their destination.

The little girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at him, while still laying on the backseat. "Hm?" she mumbled.

"I will go for a while, stay here, okay?" Gael said, and looked around him, slightly worried. "Or, do you want to come with me?"

"No, I will stay inside the car," Blue said, she then rolled to her other side and continued sleeping. Her lips slightly ajar.

"All right then…" Gael then opened the window so she wouldn't get suffocated inside the car, as he gave the car keys to Nathen. "You don't need to come with me, just keep your eyes on her."

Nathen nodded.

Gael didn't go into the hospital alone, he took six men with him, who were wearing casual clothes, so they wouldn't attract unnecessary attention.

Nathen got information that Lise was inside one of the hospitals in Abalon city. There were not many people that knew about the fact that Lise was still alive.

Even Nathen didn't know why Gael chose to announce that his bride had died during the earthquake, yet he kept looking for her behind everyone's back.

Not only that, how could this girl be Knox's daughter? She didn't look like him at all and he had never heard that man had any relationship with any other woman.

However, all of a sudden, he had a daughter of this age.

This McKeltar family was indeed very mysterious…

================== 

Gael tried to look normal, as he walked at a normal pace and had a normal expression on his face.

However, who did he want to lie to? There was nothing normal about him right from the moment he heard that Lise was inside this hospital.

She was sick, she needed medical attention, that was why she was in this hospital, there was no other explanation. Something had happened to her and their child, that was why she was here.

Gael could no longer keep his stoic expression when he strode inside the corridor. He wanted to run as fast as he could, but he needed to be cautious as well, especially when he brought six men with him.

It would look fishy if he started running and the six men followed him. He didn't know what kind of trap that was laid in this place.

Room 306.

That was the room that Nathen told him, where Lise stayed and now Gael was standing right in front of the door.

He gritted his teeth and pushed the door open, fighting the urge to slam it open as hard as he could and threw all of his caution out the window. He wanted to feel her in his arms again, he wanted to feel her skin against his and this feeling was overwhelming. His body even started trembling slightly at the thought of her alone.

Gael entered the room and closed the door, leaving the six men out there, after he was sure there was no one inside the room. It was just Lise inside.

His heart was beating so fast when he finally could see her sleeping face again. She looked very beautiful, though she was paler than the last time he saw her.

"Lise…" he called her name softly, caressing her cold skin. "I am here… I finally found you, love." Gael couldn't explain how relieved he was to see her again, to feel her again.

He lowered his head and a tear fell on his hand. He blinked his eyes and tears streamed down his cheeks. He touched the warm liquid and laughed in disbelief…

"Wow… it has been a long time since the last time I cried," he said in a hoarse tone. "I don't know that you hold such power over me…"

Gael shook his head, as fear crept in his heart. He knew that he would be hurt again. He knew that this love was unrequited, yet he was helpless, he couldn't go on without her.

Gael just realized it now, how deep he had succumbed to his own curse. It was terrifying…
