Ch. 205 You Are Such A Fool (2)
Carlisle looked surprised to hear these words, but Elena’s sincerity was true. He had an inclination to think poorly of himself, but from the very beginning, Elena vowed to walk the road needed to save her family, even if it was a bloody one. Whether Carlisle was human or not didn’t matter. What was most important was that her husband was the man she loved.
Carlisle looked at her in stunned amazement.
“…I never imagined you would say this to me.”
“Then listen carefully, because I will say it only once. When your right arm changes, I worry most about your well-being—!”
Elena didn’t get a chance to finish speaking, as Carlisle abruptly stood up from his seat and pulled Elena into an embrace. Her eyes widened as she was wrapped in the cradle of his arms, and though she couldn’t see his face, she felt him slightly trembling beneath her. Carlisle murmured into her hair.
“…Thank God.”
The sheer intensity of Carlisle’s relief was conveyed in those simple words. Elena raised her hands to hold his waist and buried her head into his solid arms.
“Did you think I’d have second thoughts because of a child who’s not even born yet? Or did you think you could avoid me over such a matter?”
“Yes, I was worried about that.”
“You are such a fool…”
The unholy actions of Carlisle’s ancestor who devoured the heart of a living dragon were difficult to comprehend, but if there was a situation where Carlisle would die…
Elena would surely cut out the heart of a living dragon without a single moment’s hesitation. The depth of her love for Carlisle was so great that she would be a sinner for him.
“Please explain the other things slowly. But the important thing is that you are healthy.”
Carlisle hugged Elena ever more tightly. He had been afraid that she would turn away from him once she discovered the truth, but now he understood the enormous fortune he had finding a woman that was in love with him regardless.
The shadow in his life chased after him no more.

That day, Elena heard more explanations from Carlisle.
Firstly, he had incredible power when his right arm transformed, but it wasn’t Carlisle’s ability to control freely.
Secondly, during the transformation, he would sometimes lose his sanity. It didn’t happen every time, but was risky in its own way.
If Carlisle had been born an ordinary child he would not be in danger, but on the other hand, it was the dragon’s power that saved him in times of crisis.
‘It is fortunate in some ways.’
It was strange to think that the dragon’s power protected Carlisle during those long years without Elena. It would be enormously advantageous if he could completely control of his ability, but it would be difficult.
‘Most importantly…’
There was no precedent for a dragon-blooded boy to not drink human blood, and it was impossible to know the symptoms of abstaining from human blood and giving up the power. In the worst case scenario, one could be driven to madness. Although the couple did not yet have a child, it was certainly the imperative to find out more.
