Chapter 72 - UNDERWORLD (2) (2/2)

”How is it?” Lise asked after Sol finally managed to contact his family in Fokosa city. For the meantime, they were in Lucinda city, which was half a day away from Fokosa city.

”Some of my men died, but my family is alive,” Sol informed Lise and she looked relieved as well to hear that news.

They had stayed in this motel since they landed the helicopter on someone's farm, leaving that piece of steel there. They wouldn't be able to hide it or couldn't bring it around, thus they abandoned it.

Moreover, it didn't seem like they would need it again.

”I am glad to hear that,” Lise murmured. She rested her head against his shoulder and waited for Sol to talk, but the man kept silent, thus she said nothing, preserving the silence between them.

It was such a comfortable silence between them.

In front of them, the television broadcasted the news about the earthquake that happened and the number of casualties, which increased by each passing day.

Some important people in this country died and most of them were guests at Gael McKeltar's wedding party.

They had reported all the names of the guests that had been found, but those whose bodies had not been discovered or identified were still so many.

Even the bride and the groom were still missing. Lise was not sure whether she wanted to hear Gael's name on the list or not.

And after a moment, Sol broke the silence. ”Let's go to the hospital tomorrow morning, so we can leave this city after that.”

”Okay,” Lise agreed easily.

However there was nothing easy about this situation. Sol had been procrastinating on their trip to the hospital, because he didn't want to know the truth yet, but for Lise, she simply didn't know what to do with the baby once they got to the hospital.

She would be more relieved if she lost the baby during that distressful event, despite having the thought alone was horrible…

==================

Chaos gritted his teeth. He had fought those monsters for so long since the shield cracked open as they attacked him relentlessly.

Yet, their number was simply ridiculous and he had wasted enough time to fight them. He needed to find her.

'We can let you know where to find her, but what will you give us in return?' one of the monsters asked.

This fight could last forever, but to strike a deal with a monster from the underworld wouldn't make the situation any better.
