Chapter 59 - What happened in two months: Two broken hearts (1/2)

"Why did you get up?" a man's shadow came from behind, his tall figure can be seen. The bathroom has a large bathtub, almost resembling a swimming pool only it comes with a heater, however, the fair lady chose to shower instead.

Although her body is covered in bruises, her eyes with no hint of sparkle and her heart chopped and shattered, she is still beautiful.

Broken can be beautiful too...she guessed.

The man bore his eyes on her body, shamelessly looking at his masterpiece. Although his heart aches every time he sees her getting hurt because of him, he knew that 'love' meant doing a painful thing to another. The rulers of Theavarian empire always say that "Love hurts" "Love is painful"

Love...in their kingdom is equivalent to emotional pain.

What really is love?

They do not believe in such thing, as a kid what he saw in his parents were brutal, even more harsh than what he is doing, his mother died from the hands of his father after all.

Amor Gevaar....love disease.

He created the cure, yet why is he still hesitating to spread it all over his empire? Why is there a voice commanding him not to?

But won't it help the people so that they will not get hurt anymore? No more sorrow and agony.

Just neutral. No feelings, no emotions, no love.

The woman's wet long hair drips small drops of water as she walks closer, her eyes gazing at him intently but now with visible sadness, she literally took his breath away.

His heart clenched at the sight of Celestia, he wanted to hug her tight not just her body but the whole of her, mind, body, soul and heart. However his knowledge and brain is suppressing him, his rational thinking says, 'Do not give her too much of your attention, she will suffocate and right there, she'll slip in your own hands'

'No...she can't leave me'

'Then don't show any emotions, do not show you care so you won't end up in great pain' another voice from his head ushered.

But why is he still feeling his heart crumbling?

The demons Logan has to fight with is in his own self, contradicting every move he wanted to take.

He can't take the risk of losing her, not now, not ever.

"Hey, are you okay?" the woman strokes his face lightly waking him from his deep thoughts, her hands still cold from the shower yet her voice filled with worry.

Logan held Celestia's hand, looking at her blank eyes.

Where did the brightness of her eyes go?

"I'm fine...why did you leave?"

Leave...

Why did his mother leave?

Why did Astrid chose to leave him before?

"I had a nightmare" Celestia's voice soft yet empty.
