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

However, Kai focused his attention on the boy when the towel draped over his head fell off.

”He has blonde hair?” he blurted out.

Emily's eyes widened, hastily picking up the towel from the ground to cover Akim's hair.

After the doctor diagnosed her son with Leukemia, she hurried to wash off the dye to not complicate matters. She was not experienced in the medical field but she knew those things contained chemicals nor could she tell how it would affect her son now he was sick. Her only thought was to give him the maximum comfort.

”Mum, who is he?” Akim asked, eyes taking in that strange man in a mask.

”Urm, he's a very important person, Akim. He's the prince of this kingdom,” she answered, going over to lay him on his body - the doctor told her exhaustion would be one of the symptoms he would experience henceforth.

”Wow, must be cool to be a prince,” He chuckled.

”Yeah, must be cool,” Emily agreed, tucking him in bed and wondering why that prince was staring intensely at her son.

”You're Akim,” said Kai, walking over to the boy's bed. For some strange reasons, the more he stared at the boy, the more resemblance they both shared.

”Yes,” Akim nodded with admiration in his eyes.

”He needs to rest,” Emily's voice was taut, Kai noticed. Why was she so sensitive about her son and why had she been dyeing his hair black when it was blonde all this moment.

Something clicked in Kai's head abruptly, Ahmed wasn't blonde neither was Emily, the only blonde person she dated was… him? No way.

”The boy needs to have a rest,” Emily's forehead wrinkled from worry. Prince Kai was staring at her son intensely, did he find something out? Sure, he must have looked into her background since he has the intention of doing business with her.

That statement must have woke him from his thought because when his eyes found hers, the truth was there. She understood that enlightened orbs.

”Let's go outside. Cecil, help take care of Akim for me, I'll be back briefly,” She at once grabbed his hand, beginning to lead him out of the room. She dragged him to the hospital garden, with thankfully few people around.

”What do you want from me?” Emily asked him sternly. He was strangely interested in her and Akim and didn't like it one bit.

”That's not Ahmed's son, is he?” Kai asked, eyes boring into hers.

”What rubbish are you talking about and why are you unhealthily nosy about my family?” She hid her nervousness.

”Answer my damn question, Emily!” He boomed at her, she almost jumped.

”It's none of your business! Why are you so interested in another person's family?! ” She yelled back.

”Because I'm Judy!” He pulled off the mask at the same time as his words were uttered.

Emily's eyes grew wide, her jaw dropped, nor did she move; her feet were stuck to the ground. For a minute, no one said a word, just staring at each other. How was this possible?

”G-ghost,” She choked and fainted.

”Emily!” Kai caught her before she could touch the ground. Seriously, this was the reason he wanted to take everything slowly but then, fate always seems to have a plan of its own.

When Emily woke up, she found herself on a hospital bed. What the hell? She had the strangest dream where she saw…

”Judy?” she sat up abruptly, discerning a figure sitting on the edge of her bed.

”Emily,” He responded.

Oh my God, it wasn't a dream.

The sleep in her eyes cleared at once, giving her a clear view of his face. It was him.

Tears clouded her vision as she moved to clasp his face with both hands, ”It's really you,” her words were a whisper while tracing his features.

”Oh my God, you're alive,” Her hands shook before she lowered her head and kissed him hard on the lips; pouring all her relief, anger, and words she could not say into that kiss.

Judy kissed her back, his arms wrapped securely around her waist, afraid to let go and realize this moment was not real. Fate has given him another chance and he would take advantage of it - and pay back his oppressors in their own coin.
