Chapter 850 - Heartbroken (1/2)

Nicolae was not ashamed when he cried in Marie's apartment. The building manager was very sorry to see him and finally decided to leave the young man himself. Nicolae stayed in Marie's room and pondered for a long time.

He did not know what to do now. It felt like his life had become completely empty. So much hope that filled his heart a day ago, today turned into deep sorrow.

For some reason ... it seemed now he understood how his father felt a hundred years ago when he learned of Luna's death, together with the child in her w.o.m.b.

Was this really my destiny ...? To never be happy?

He had never felt a heartbreak so severe like this ... In fact, this could not be compared to what he felt when Aleksis was married to Alaric. He had shed so much tears at the cemetery, that he thought he couldn't cry anymore.

As it turned out, he was wrong. In Marie's apartment, he felt so broken and cried ceaselessly. After all his tears were dry, Nicolae sat quietly for the night, unable to do anything.

Some incoming SMS and phone calls came from Terry, but he just ignored them. He did not want to talk to anyone. He was despondent and had no d.e.s.i.r.e to do anything.

In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

”Nic ...”

Nicolae did not eat nor drink for two days. He only sat pondering in a chair named Edgar that Marie often used for work. His eyes stared blankly out the window. Alaric's voice that called his name gently was unable to move him.

His brother walked slowly to him and then hugged him.

”We already know what happened ...” Alaric said quietly.

At first, Terry thought Nicolae didn't want to reply to his texts and calls because he was having fun with Marie and didn't want to be disturbed, but after 24 hours, they realized something bad must have happened to Nicolae that he didn't reply to any of their texts.

Alaric called Takeshi, who immediately checked Nicolae's situation and found out what had happened to the girl named Marie Lu. The news that Takeshi delivered greatly shook everyone who was enjoying their holiday on F Island.

Alaric and Lauriel immediately flew back to Singapore to meet Nicolae. They understood how bad Nicolae's situation was and wanted to immediately console him. Alaric decided to go in first and meet Nicolae while his father waited outside, so Nicolae would not feel overwhelmed by them.

”Nic ...” Alaric called again.

Nicolae, who was in his arms, was completely silent. The young man had run out of tears, and his heart was filled with such a painful void. He did not respond to Alaric at all.

”Father ...” Alaric finally called out to Lauriel, who rushed in. ”It's very bad ...”

They understood what made Nicolae so devastated. He lost two people at once: the woman he loved and the child in her w.o.m.b. And that terrible event happened only a few days ago when Nicolae was actually very close ...

Lauriel crouched down and hugged his eldest son's knees and looked into Nicolae's blank eyes. He felt so sad to see Nicolae in such conditions. Nicolae took after Luna's warm and cheerful personality. The young man was not a cold and sad person like himself and Alaric. So, seeing him turn out like this felt very suffocating.

”My son...” Lauriel said hoarsely. ”You have to eat and rest. Otherwise, you can get sick.”

An alchemist had a perfect body, and normally, they wouldn't get sick, but if they didn't eat and drink and didn't rest, they would die of hunger and fatigue.
