35 Margare (2/2)

”It's late, Margaret. Go to sleep. We will talk about this later...” he patted her head and went out of her room without giving her a chance to wish him good night.

”Good night, Father...” Margaret whispered. She went to close the door.

Putting all the thoughts aside, she tried to sleep. She couldn't sleep and turned to her sides to find a better position to sleep but failed to find one. Staring at the ceiling she forcibly shut her eyes. After a while, she was in her deep sleep.

....

”We shall now take our leave.” Gerard turned out to leave gesturing Alexander to leave too.

”I know that she has a daughter. Keep her safe.” as David saw the distancing figures, he spoke.

Alexander stopped in his tracks.

”I will.” he spoke and moved out of the house.

Both went directly to the castle. On their way back to the castle…

”Alexander, the girl's soul was transferred to a living body before she died.”

”...”

Alexander stopped and stared with both his brows furrowed.

”What?”

”Yes, being a white witch, I know and have been keeping this a secret from you.” Gerard wanted to reveal all his secrets before dying.

”Who is she?” Alexander's eyes shone brightly.

”Have you ever met a person and not know what he or she is thinking? You can easily read the minds of others excluding me… Have you met someone like me? As in, you tried hard but failed to know what's in his or her mind?” Gerard had to be patient to explain the things carefully.

The first image that popped in his mind was Margaret's.

”Don't think much about it. You already know who she is. Two souls one body. You need to protect the body having two souls.” Gerard's face broke into a small smile.

”It is true that I tried to know what was going on in her mind, but I just couldn't.” Alexander murmured to himself.

Now , all he wanted was to return to Brookville and protect his only belonging.

No matter what happens in futurem he will not leave her side.
