Chapter 323 - The Ark Of The Childs Blood (1/2)
”Ysabeau! Are you alright?!” asked Gab, shaking the poor woman.
She had blacked out. Ysabeau was slightly dazed as she tried to absorb her surroundings. That's right, she was on a mission and she came across a tortured baby.
”So, what's your next move?” asked Gab, carefully supporting Ysabeau.
Her eyes darted around and she looked at the tubes that were running around the room. Just then, a doctor was stumbling about outside and went into the room. he screamed but was quickly subdued by Gab using his pistol to hit the man's head.
”You could've just shot him,” said Ysabeau, looking at Gab dragging the man into the middle of the room.
”I can't do too much sound now. First, it's gonna hurt my ears. Second, the sound will cause trouble after such a long period of silence. Shall we get back to work?” asked Gab, pointing to the kid.
Ysabeau nodded and both got to work. They gingerly disconnected the wires while leaving the necessary tubes. Particularly the ones that ran down his lungs and into his heart. With those useless tubes out, they stared at the kid once more.
Both knew that the kid was going to be gone soon, so they tried to devise a way to let the kid pass on without having tubes stuck in him. But the Bahamut was getting tired and angry at the situation. So much so that she broke the cylinder of liquid.
Toi Gab's shock, there was no trigger to the other areas the moment she broke the tank. She caught the kid quickly and tore off the tubes. She flipped the boy over and tried to purge the liquid out from him. He started coughing but it was no use. The baby was truly gone.
”There's nothing else we can do. I just wished that we gave him a better send-off,” said Gab, as the baby laid limp in the High Queen's arms.
It reminded her of how she cradled her dead child in her arms all those years ago.
”This was the best send-off for him, out from the tank that killed him. And whoever did this-”
Ysabeau's eyes grew with a hint of fury as she looked straight ahead of her.
”Will have to pay.”
