604 Thank you... (1/2)

”Lies...” Due to the injuries Lincoln Lu inflicted, his rebut trailed off as he finally lost his consciousness.

Before he completely lost his consciousness, his mind flashed images of the past: Edward Lu's smiling gently that he used to despise, memories with his late mother and the words, ”your Uncle Ed is my savior — never hold a grudge to a good man.”

For several seconds after Lincoln Lu was knocked out by Ethan Lu, none of them could say a single word. What transpired tonight, the roller coaster of emotions that took placed, it was just too much to process in one go.

If they were not in there, they would not believe that this happened. Yet, at the end of the day, they could finally sigh in relief as it finally ended.

When everyone recovered from what happened, Edward Lu's men carried Lincoln Lu's body to the ambulance outside the abandoned warehouse — Churu as well.

Lexi searched for the person who gave Churu the first aid. But, since her focus was diverted to her husband's confrontation with Lincoln Lu, she didn't notice him leaving.

Looking up, Seraphina Yue was also gone. It was as if she wasn't in there in the first place. However, none of them have the leisure to find the woman who comes and go without a trace.

Therefore, Lexi and Ethan Lu could only thank the said woman in their hearts while they rushed Churu to the hospital.

****

Outside the emergency room where Churu was being operated, Ethan Lu placed his blazer over Lexi's shoulder.

”Ethan...” Turning her gaze to her side, the built up tears that were tempting to fall since earlier fell from the corner of Lexi's eyes. Lexi was anxious, afraid that something might happen to Churu.

Lexi was unsure if a normal surgery would work on Churu. After all, Churu wasn't a normal human — she's a fallen angel. Hence, would a technology in this age could save an angel?

The uncertainties of not knowing the outcome, the anxiety of Churu's safety, and the fear of losing someone dear to her, Lexi's heart was pounding nonstop.

”She'll be fine — I know because my heart says so.” Although Lexi only whispered his name, Ethan Lu had guessed what's her worries. ”I'm sorry you have to go through this.” Wiping her tears, Ethan Lu's eyes softened as a hurt glint flashed across his eyes.

Ethan Lu was even ashamed to ask his wife if she was fine because obviously, she wasn't. Not just that, but also, Lexi nearly died right in front of him. If not for Churu, he would have lost his wife forever.

The fact that if he didn't have Churu with him, Ethan Lu would have caused his wife's death due to his indecisiveness. In his perspective, Ethan Lu failed his wife. He failed the twins and Churu.
