502 WHY ARE YOU CRYING?
“Apparently, he has been collecting Chaos’s shattered soul as well.” This time, it was Knox, who answered Zuri’s question in cold tone.
Zuri had a bad feeling when she heard that. “Why? What his intention to collecting Chaos’s shattered soul?” She looked at Chaos, asking for an answer.
“We don’t know yet about that,” Knox replied. “We are still trying to figure things out.”
“And why you are the one, who answering my question?” Zuri turned her head to look at Chaos. “Why don’t you answer my question.”
“Don’t bother, he has been like that, since yesterday,” Knox replied, which meant, Chaos has been very quiet without him knowing what the reason was.
“Are you okay?” Zuri was worried about him.
“I am fine.” Chaos took Zuri’s hand and kissed her palm, which made her blushed.
And while the three of them were having conversation with each other, Gael was still bickering with the young shifter, who demanded to know their identity, or else he would alarm the other guards.
“Hey! Stop being lovey dovey! Why am I the one who is doing this job?!” Gael was annoyed to see Chaos and Zuri being all flirty with each other.
.....
Knox’s patient had become thin to hear this old man complaining about everything, he then raised his hand and at the same time, the young shifter’s body was lifted from the ground.
The poor shifter was mortified, his mouth opened wide, but there was no word that came out of his lips, which meant, Knox had done something about it and silenced him effectively.
And when the shifter’s body had raised around ten meter above the ground, Knox made a slamming gesture, which resulted the body to drop to the ground very fast.
There was no scream or any noise from him, but there was a loud sound from the collision of his body and the hard ground.
“Why do you have to use such brutal method?” Gael clicked his tongue, he frowned at Knox. He knew that this man could be very extreme some time.
“If we have to wait until he passed out because listening to your argumentation, we will waste our precious time,” Knox replied lightly. “Let’s go.”
Gael was pissed hearing that, as he charged forward and punched his shoulder, but Knox dodged it easily.
“You are really an old man now,” Knox scoffed, clearly he was trying to provoke Gael.
On the other hand, Zuri looked at the poor young man, but seeing how his chest moving slightly, it meant he was still alive, only unconscious because of the impact.
As a shifter herself, she could tell that he would be fine in a day.
=======================
“Calm down, July,” Sebastian said in firm tone. “We don’t need to move now, we can wait for Gael’s first. If Zuri decided to tell Chaos, he will inform us.”
July snapped at him, horror in her eyes. “At that time, it would be too late for us to hide!” she screamed at Sebastian. She was frustrated. She didn’t know that Gael would bring Zuri along with him, even though she mentioned in passing that she missed her.
She knew that they were in this city, therefore, she had been very careful when she was outside, just in case she would run into one of them, but right now, it was not matter anymore, they were going to leave.
“Zuri will tell Chaos for sure. She will kill for that man. Don’t you know her?!” July shrieked, fear rushing in her vein to think that her little girl was being hunted down. “They have been hunting the shattered soul for centuries! And now Rhea is one of their prey! You must know about that! How dangerous the situation could be for Rhea!”
Sebastian had been facing July’s irrational thought for all day long, ever since Zuri and Gael left the house, she had been freaking out and packing all their stuffs, she wanted to move away as soon as possible.
“If you really know the danger, you should think twice before you conceive that creature’s child!” Sebastian snapped back at July, which made her face blanched and a second later, he knew that he had said something that he shouldn’t. “I am sorry, I didn’t mean in that way.”
July was silent for a moment when she heard what he said. She knew there was this possibility, but her desire to have a little family on her own, to have a child from Knox, overshadowed all the possibilities and now when the truth was thrown to her face, she didn’t know how to react to that.
This was her fault, but she couldn’t help, but being angry for Sebastian to say such thing.
“You don’t have any right to say that,” July hissed viciously, she took a step back and flinched when Sebastian tried to touch her. “You are the one, who came with me willingly, knowing what you will face, but you insisted to be with me nonetheless.”
“I am sorry, July…” Sebastian didn’t know what to say more to calm her down, she was already upset even before hearing what he said and now he only made the situation was getting worst.
“Leave me alone, I need time to think,” July spoke in stern voice, she raised both of her hands, trying to keep a distance from Sebastian.
“Mommy? Are you mad with dad?” Rhea poked her head through the gap of the opened door, she came because she heard a loud sound from her parent’s room.
Seeing that both of them went silence, the little girl was holding her bunny doll, blinking her blue eyes innocently.
How could there was someone had the thought to hurt her? Her precious little girl…
“No, we are not,” July said, she came to approach her daughter and hug her tightly.
“Why are you crying, mommy? Are you hurt?”
