Chapter 208 - Safe heaven (2/2)
He sat there for a long while and without realizing he was laying next to her and was asleep, holding her as lightly as possible to make sure not to press on her injuries. Jessica knew that Robert could stay healthy even if he didn't eat for a solid many months in a row but he needed to be strong and always be prepared to fight for which he required the energy so she went to bring some food for her brother but when she returned she was welcomed by an adorable view, seeing how gently yet possessively he held Rachel in his arms made her heart melt. Rachel lay in his arms as if she was not scared of the world and as if it was her Safe Heaven, she smiled and took the food away to let him rest because he had been working too hard.
She then faced her maid ”I am going out, do not disturb them and when they wake up serve them with food.”
The maid obediently nodded ”Yes ma'am” and then went to do her work.
Jessica went out to save the people that Kevin had held captive. She didn't know where they were but now that Kevin was not in the state to come out she had enough time to find them out and save them. Robert had told her that he would do that after Rachel was safe but she didn't want to disturb him now that he had a little peace to himself after such a long time so she let him stay there and decided to go alone.
She began from searching in the farthest corner of the forest where she thought he could be and after searching for a long time she finally found a tunnel but it was too dark inside that she could not see anything. She took out a pen and swished it, it turned into a wand and then she swished it again and a strong light came from one end of it which lightened the tunnel immediately and she entered it.
After waking for a while she came across some rooms, she realized this must be the place where all the polymorphs lived so she began pushing each door to see in which room they were. All the doors were numbered and there were 50 of them and Jessica checked them all but no one was there. Even the door that were locked were opened by her with magic but she could not find them. She then looked at the numbers of each room carefully while she checked again. She realized that there was no room no. 30, after 29 the next room was 31, she looked around carefully to see if could find and invisible or camouflaged door but there was none. The strange thing was that there were mirrors placed on the opposite walls were room no. 30 was supposed to be, she was too confused but then she thought that Kevin was smart enough that he would not bring those people where everyone else lived and they must the somewhere else.
It was already late by the time she came out of the tunnel and before she could decide to go anywhere else, she received a call from Robert ”Where are you, it's too late and Rachel is also awake so come back.”
Although she thought to herself that it was not strange that a room was missing, she still wanted to tell him about it so she said ”OK, I will be back.” and then was on her way back hiding her wand again turning it into a pen.
Robert woke up and saw that Rachel was still asleep, he realised that she needed some more rest so he carefully placed her on the bed and went to take a shower then he decided to eat something because he knew he had to have a lot of energy for anything that could come at him any second. He went to the kitchen and ordered the maid to bring him the food and within some time the food was served in front of him, he ate and then told them to bring the rest of it to the room. If Rachel would be awake he would make her eat or he will ask them to bring it back. When he entered the room, Rachel was awake but still lying down, he helped her up very carefully and said ”It is time to eat.”
She smiled and got up resting her back against the back of the bed. Robert sat on the bed next to her and fed her like she was a kid, she had protested that she could eat on her own but he didn't listen so she had to give in as he kept feeding her with a straight face as if he was doing a very serious job and if that goes wrong, it could cause him his life. This view made Rachel smile and after she was full, he still insisted her to eat a little more but she held his hand and stuffed the spoon filled with veggies into his mouth ”I will burst if I eat more, you eat now I am done.”
Robert was taken aback and he almost choked on the veggies as they were forced into his mouth out of nowhere but then he slowly swallowed them. She looked at him and as if something mischievous came into his mind, he spoke ”I will eat, if you feed me.”
Rachel knew he was doing this to make her feel good and at ease but she was too heartbroken to go with it so she casually replied ”Suit yourself, I want to take a shower, I feel too dirty.”
At those words Robert remembered the time he was creasing her hair, a frown appeared on his forehead and as she was about to get up, he held her back gently so as not to hurt her ”What did he do to you, I want to know everything.” he ordered.
