Chapter 923 - Master Hollow (3) (2/2)

Aiden sat on the ground with Sarah in his lap. She rested her head on his shoulder with her eyes closed and took a deep breath. Ah, she can smell that woody-flowery fragrance. It is real. He is here. She held onto his sleeve firmly, unwilling to let go.

Sarah and Aiden paid no attention to anyone around them. After an endless longing for each other, they reunited. Finally.

She looked into his dark pools which stirred with happiness and smiled. ”Why are you here?”

”I was missing you.”, his smile reflected hers and he tightened his hold on her.

He was missing her to the point of losing his mind.

Aiden arrived previous night and could not sleep in that inn. Not with the knowledge that Sarah is close by. Jesse reminded him that Sarah should do the trial by herself, and Aiden held himself back until after breakfast, but then he was unable to wait any longer. He had to see her.

Jesse said that if Aiden is going, he will follow as well because it's boring to just sit and wait. So, two of them packed their things and headed to find Sarah.

Aiden's only concern was that Sarah might head back and they miss each other, but he modified one tracker to use satellite signal, so even without the cell phone reception he can confirm the location of her ring. He was happy to see that his modification was successful. It seems that after all this time with Sarah and Felix, some things rubbed off on him as well.

Back to present...

The older man next to them cleared his throat, making them aware of his presence.

Sarah's smile dropped when she realized that this is a form of disrespect. Luckily, they didn't start making out. She swiftly got on her feet and pulled Aiden up.

”This is Master Hollow.”, she told Aiden and then looked at the old man. ”This is my fiancé, Aiden.”

Aiden gave a deep bow as a greeting. ”I apologize for intruding. I only wanted to make sure that Sarah is safe. I will not be in the way.”

Master Hollow looked at Sarah and then at Aiden, amusement apparent in his expression.

”Interesting. Lebedev and Voronin together... Very interesting.”

Sarah and Aiden exchanged glances before looking at Master Hollow.

”Master, can you repeat that?”, excitement mixed with confusion was evident in Sarah's voice. She realized that just now they got a clue about background of Aiden's skills. That second mysterious Eastern European family finally got a name! But she needs to hear it again, just to make sure.

”You know that you are a Lebedev. And his skills tell me that he is a Voronin.” Master Hollow explained and observed their expressions.

”It seems that you didn't know about your fiancé. Now I know why you came to seek my guidance. Neither of those two families will allow for your union to happen.”

Master Hollow turned around to leave.

Sarah made few steps after him. She has so many questions to ask!

”You should take care of your companion.”, Master Hollow said without stopping his movements. He went inside one cabin.

Aiden and Sarah turned to each other in confusion until they realized... Jesse! Right!
