Chapter 259 - Two Hundred And Fifty-nine: The Lovers Reunite (1/2)

The third point of view

”What is this I hear about you chasing after a married woman?” The queen was furious. Her eyes were bloodshot, hands trembling on the armrest of her throne while glaring at her stubborn son.

”How did you find out about her?” Was Kai's question

”How I found out doesn't matter, what matters is that you'd be leaving that poor woman alone!” She declared.

”Didn't you want me to get married and produce an heir as soon as possible? Then here she is; I've been waiting for here all these while,” said Prince Kai standing in front of the queen.

”Christ, Kai!” She blanched from shock, ”That I want you to get married desperately doesn't mean that I'll let you destroy another's marriage, not to mention that her husband is a potential president, I would not let you cause me such hostility in the long run -”

”Or what?” he challenged.

The queen was taken aback by his blunt challenge of her authority yet didn't show it. She continued her calm demeanor, ” It's either you let her go or I'll help you let her go,”

”I'm not going to let her go, do your worst,” He made his point known. What could she do? Take his title from him? That was impossible, he was the only rightful heir to the throne.

The queen, seeing that coercion wasn't going to work, decided to reach to him on an emotional level.

”Kai,” She called out to him, ”You're my son and I would never do anything to harm you. But then, you're hurting this woman. I get that you both had a history together in the past but the past is past, she's married and even has a child for him. Do you ever consider how the consequences of your actions might affect the child? ”

”She's drowning in that marriage, I need to save her,” He simply replied.

”Did she tell you she wants to be saved? And what makes you think that you're the savior? Have you considered if she'd sacrifice her marriage to be with you?” She barraged him with questions.

Kai smiled wryly, ”I guess there's one way to find out,”

”What?” the queen's brow drew together in confusion.

Kai turned around,” I'm going to tell her the truth,”

”Kai, stop right there!”

He continued with his journey without looking back.

”Stop there this instant, it's the queen's command!” She used her authority which produced a result this time.

Kai stopped, turned once around to her saying, ”My command overrules yours, queen dowager,” and left while the queen almost fainted from disbelief, her handmaids rushed to rescue her.

Kai didn't waste further time, racing to the hospital like a madman. It seems the queen wasn't all that heartless because he saw the guards secretly tailing him to ensure his safety.

It wasn't hard to find the hospital room since he ordered them to be assigned to one of the VVIP rooms.

He knocked on the door which was opened by another woman who Kai recognized to be Cecil.

”Christ!” Cecil almost jumped out of her skin upon seeing Kai which reminded him that he was still in his mask.

”Sorry about that. I'm prince Kai and I need to see Emily, is she here?” his searching gaze darted across the spacious hospital room.

”Y-you're the p-p-prince?” Cecil stuttered. So Emily had not been joking earlier when she mentioned the prince's odd interest in her. Oh boy, this was going to be a problem. But then, what's with the mask?

”She's supposed to be here,” he muttered, peering over her shoulder and taking note of the empty bed.

”She's not…” Cecil was planning to lie when the man let himself in.

”Well... ” She had no choice but to close the door. This was the prince of Lincolnshire who showed them hospitality when they first arrived, it would be rude to chase him off. Would her head be cut off for chasing him off?

Cecil scratched the back of her head, there was no need to question this man's motive. Just a look in his eyes and one could tell he was taken with Emily. Was that why they had a smooth journey here? She couldn't help but feel that coming here was somewhat orchestrated. But then, this was the first time the both of them met, what brought on this attraction? Had he and Emily known somewhere? Whatever it was, this wasn't good for Emily. That girl needed peace for once in her life.

”Where is…? ”

Judy was interrupted by the sound of a door opening only to realize it was Emily coming out of the restroom with the boy in her arms.

”P-prince Kai,” Emily was startled. She never expected to see him here nor so soon.
