Chapter 99 - SUDDEN DISAPEARANCE (1/2)

Gael would spend his time beside Lise, even when he had to work, if he could do something without being present, he would do it next to her.

He didn't want Lise out of his sight, since he didn't feel relaxed whenever he was away from her.

”Love, I just picked Blue up from school and I did a little trick with her blood when the people from the government wanted to run a check on her,” he told her everything about his day patiently, as he held her hand and listened to her heartbeat. ”But I managed to trick them with my magic. If you are awake, you would probably get angry at me because you want them to find all the non- human beings like me and eradicate us from this realm, but I can't do that.”

Gael kissed her knuckles solemnly and caressed her cheeks.

”Because if they do it, I will not be able to see you again.” Gael stared at her, his eyes looked very bitter. ”I know I am very selfish for wanting you to be mine alone, but… can you understand me? Can you understand me and stay with me? I will give you everything, just for you to be with me… can you do it?”

Gael then laughed wryly. He shook his head.

”I just want to see you wake up, love…” He gritted his teeth. ”How long will you punish me like this? I will not mind if you want to punch me or stab me. I would love for you to do it instead of being like this…”

The doctor had done everything they could to cleanse her blood from whatever drugs that those people had given her, but she was still in a comatose state even after a month had already passed.

Gael lowered his head and looked at her pale face.

He stayed like that for a few more hours until the sun went down and he heard the sound of his phone ringing. It was Nathen.

”What is it?” Gael asked immediately, but his expression turned dark as a low growl could be heard inside this room when he suddenly stood up. ”I will be there in a minute.”

And then, Gael walked out of the room. But unbeknownst to him, a second later, Lise opened her eyes.

”Come with me,” Knox said softly, as he drew mindless circles on July's naked back. She looked sleepy with her skin flushed red while her lips were swollen. There were dozens of missed calls on her phone, since she was too 'busy' to answer them.

”Where?” July asked, her voice was very soft and Knox would love to hear it for the rest of his eternity. ”Do you want to take me on a vacation?”

Knox nodded. ”A long vacation.”

”Where?”

”Anywhere you like to go.”

July contemplated for a while and didn't give any response until Knox thought she had fallen asleep, but then she spoke again.

”Okay, but after my movie.”

Knox took a deep breath and pulled her closer to him, as he kissed her ears and made her wriggle in his arms.
