368 Berserk (1/2)
The silver-haired witch was frozen still the instant she entered the room. Abigail was already awake but she looked utterly broken, overwhelmed with grief, and crumbling in pain.
The witch looked at where the crystal ball had stopped and she was surprised. She only planned to show her the deal between Alexander and the queen! That was all the truth she wanted her to know in exchange of what she was asking. She wanted Abigail to know the reason why Alexander lost his memories and for her to know what she had to do.
But she actually gone beyond that. She couldn't believe this woman managed to see so much in such a short period of time. But she didn't have enough time to spare to ponder over that. She still had things to explain to her. She still had so much to tell her. She had to bring this woman back to that man before it was too late.
With an alarmed face, the witch approached Abigail and rubbed her back to calm her down.
”Are you okay? Please calm down,” she asked her but Abigail didn't stop weeping. She didn't even look at her. She was doubled over, still in so much pain.
Seeing that Abi might take a while to calm down, the witch decided to cast a spell on her.
Her pleasing chants played like warm music inside the room until Abigail's cries slowly died down. The unbearable pain in her heart didn't disappear but her mind was slowly brought back to reality, as if the ominous, hopeless clouds that enveloped her world had dissipated.
She sniffed as she finally looked at the witch. Her mind was a little clearer now, although her heart was still bleeding and aching.
”Abigail… I am sorry but I need to return you to him,” the witch told her in an almost frantic voice. Gone was her calm and collected expression. She looked worried.
”H-him?” Abi somehow managed to respond as she wiped her tears. Her spell really worked.
”Your husband, he's here.”
Abi's eyes widened. Hearing that Alex was there made her want to cry again.
”Where is he?” she immediately stood up. All Abi wanted to do that moment was to run to him and embrace him as tight as she could. She wanted to just glue herself to him, to never let go of him even for a moment. What she saw broke her heart so much that she felt like she could die from the pain. It was too much. Why? Why did Alex have to suffer so much? Why did he need to be in so much pain? It wasn't fair… it was too cruel…
