Chapter 118 - TOO BAD IF I HAVE TO THROW IT AWAY

Jenny didn't know what they wanted with her baby and why they starved her, as she due in two months now…

She wouldn't have energy to go through labor in this rate and her baby would die during the process. Or maybe they wanted to see the endurance of the baby shifter. How the baby could survive, such situation…

How cruel they were.

In the distance, Jenny heard someone approached her room and her body shivered involuntarily because she knew what would she face later.

She hugged her body and whispered to her unborn child. "Mommy loves you, my baby. I love you… your dad loves you…"

Her heart swelled in pride when she felt her baby moved, kicking her lightly, as if saying that the baby could hear her voice and understand it.

It was the only thing that could make Jenny preserve this environment.

"It's time!" said a man, as he gestured to the other two men behind him to take Jenny away for another observation.

===================   

Knox looked at July indulgingly, her skin glow under the soft moonlight that came through the balcony in this apartment, as they laid down on the couch.

July yawned and rested her head against his chest, she was like a spoiled kitten. Her black hair scattered on Knox chest and the smell of her shampoo was one of his favorite scent.

"I need to go," Knox said softly. He didn't want to break this serene, but he needed to tell her about this.

On the other hand, July had expected this, but she still couldn't come to term where she could accept it. "Where?" Now she was on alert, all of her sleepiness had disappeared. Her eyes became sharp in this dimly lit room.

"Somewhere far…" Knox couldn't explain it to her, since it was something complicated to be understood.

July clenched her jaw, she didn't say anything for some time and then she slid down from on top of Knox's body and took his shirt. She wore it carelessly, as she strode to her bedroom, leaving him there alone.

Knox sighed, he pushed himself and sat down. His head hung very low, as he was trying to think about something that could make her feel better, yet there was no other way to tell this without hurting her.

However, after a few minutes passed and Knox was about to stand up to follow her to her bedroom, he heard the door was being opened and July reappeared, still in his shirt.

She looked beautiful and radiant like always.

"Sit," July said, as she pushed Knox back to the couch and they faced each other. For a moment, she closed her eyes before she asked him. "When will you come back?"

"Don't wait for me." Knox clenched his jaw when he saw pain in her eyes. "I don't want you to wait for me and waste your time. You deserve more than what I can offer to you."

"You don't answer my question," July said stubbornly. "When will you come back?"

"I can't say it for sure." There is a huge different in time from this realm and the supernatural realm, where they needed to find Chaos there. They could spend a week there, but I had been decades in human realm.

"Give me the time." July was about to break when she thought about the worse. She realized that she couldn't make him stay, so she would wait for him instead.

"July…"

"Knox, please…"

"You can't ruin your life like this."

July's gaze hardened, she wiped away her tears with the back of her hand harshly before it could fall on her cheeks. "You ruin me, now you must take responsibility for that."

Knox was taken aback. It was harsh, but it was the truth. "If I can turn back time…"

"I will fall in love with you all over again…" July finished his line and didn't let him to end that with regret. "If I can turn back time, I want to love you longer than my lifetime."

This was one thing that Knox always knew. Their lifetime…

Someday, Knox would reach the day when he would see her in the end of her line of life, when all the things that was left for him was only their memories. He would live with that and regretted every passing seconds that he spent without holding her tightly in his arms.

"I want you to meet you again, no matter how long it takes."

"It will not fair for you."

"I don't want fairness," July became emotional. "I want you."

Knox pulled her closer and hugged her even tighter. He wanted to forget everything and despised whatever the things that put him away from her… he wanted the time to stop.

"Please come back and see me again…" that was the only thing that July asked from him. She didn't care how long it took Knox to return, she wanted him to see her again.

"I will." Knox knew it was a mistake to promise her something that he knew very well would hurt her, but he would do anything to keep his promise to her.

July cried silently and then freed her body from him, as she showed him something in her hand. It was a ring. The same ring that Knox put it on her finger the last time he saw her, when everything had not yet turned into a mess.

"I want you to put it on my finger," July said. "You should do it properly and look at my reaction."

Knox laughed softly when he heard that. He intended to see her reaction, but something came up and he simply was not able to meet her for such a long time.

"I thought you have thrown it away." Knox thought that way because he didn't see it on her finger.

"That crossed my mind, but it's diamond, too bad if I have to throw it away."
