Chapter 394: Han Shuo’s promise (1/2)

GDK 394 – Han Shuo’s promise

After leaving Babylon Academy of Magic and Force, Han Shuo had originally decided to return to his residence. However, he discovered through his mystical demon that Emily and Phoebe were walking out of her room.

Contrary to Han Shuo’s expectations, Emily’s eyes were red, as though she cried. Phoebe, who originally came to admonish Emily was not as overbearing as he had imagined and was instead repeatedly persuading Emily.

Holding each other’s hands, their friendship had deepened since the time when they were in the Valley of Sunshine. Emily’s eyes were red as she continuously took tissues to wipe the corners of her eyes, her miserable appearance causing others to feel pity for her. Phoebe gently supported Emily as she sighed, “Elder sister, I was rude. I didn’t know your life had been like this.”

“Let it pass Phoebe, it’salready hard for you to be able to forgive me. I am indeed at fault regarding this matter. An unexpected combination of factors just so happened to occur. Ai…” Emily gently wiped the corner of her eyes as she confided in Phoebe.

“Alright, alright. We’ve almost reached your doorstep, you should head back in and not let others see you in this state. It’s all that guy’s fault, not yours. I’ll settle scores with him and shouldn’t have caused trouble for you.” Phoebe persuaded Emily, stubbornly urging her to return to her room.

“Phoebe, thank you. You are a good woman, no wonder he likes you so much.” After entering her room, Emily held Phoebe’s hand and said sincerely.

“Haiz, I wouldn’t have expected that Sister’s life was worse than mine. I had always thought that as a daughter-in-law of Betteridge Family and also having a brother who wields great authority, your life was surely more blessed than mine. Let’s forget it, I will be leaving first. It’s already quite late, you should get some rest.” After she finished speaking, Phoebe released Emily’s hands from her grasp and departed from Emily’s residence.

Han Shuo had heard the whole conversation through his mystical demon, causing him to momentarily feel puzzled. He had originally believed that even if both of them did not cause a ruckus, they would be ridiculing and abusing each other. Who would have thought that the matter would turn out in this way?

Altering his direction, Han Shuo headed towards Betteridge Family. Emily who had just wept precisely needed his comfort at this moment. No matter the situation, Han Shuo did not wish for Emily to be hurt. Having made this decision in his heart, he hastened over.

Having been busy in Babylon Academy of Magic and Force for a long time, the sky had already darkened when Han Shuo left. There were currently very few people on the streets as the night quietly descended. Han Shuo was like a demon in the night, drifting silently across the empty streets toward the Betteridge Family.

Han Shuo did not bother about Phoebe who had left on a carriage, only dispatching a mystical demon to observe and ensure her safety. He had observed during the conversation between the two girls that Phoebe’s emotions seemed to be in check and there shouldn’t be any problems. Currently, only the red-eyed Emily required his comfort. Hence Han Shuo was naturally able to distinguish who he should prioritize.

Although the security of the Betteridge Family was tight, it meant nothing to Han Shuo who had the mystical demons. He easily avoided the guards and silently arrived in front of Emily’s room.

Emily’s magic barrier was still active around her room, hence Han Shuo did not force his way in, for fear of Emily’s erroneous retaliation. Instead, he gently knocked on the door.

“Who’s that!” Emily asked as she slowly headed toward the door.

“It’s me!” Han Shuo said softly.

Emily hastened her steps and arrived at the door within a breath. Upon opening the door, Emily saw that it was indeed Han Shuo and her red eyes suddenly brightened. Looking around to ensure that there was no one around, she then pulled him into the room.

“Why are you here? This is the Betteridge Family, what would happen if you were seen?” After pulling Han Shuo in, Emily hurriedly closed the door and set up a soundproof barrier before questioning him.

“I was worried about you.” Han Shuo suddenly embraced Emily tightly as he replied tenderly.

“I am alright. Phoebe had just left, did you see her?” Being held tightly by Han Shuo, Emily felt her heart calm down and asked softly.
