Ep71| Souls and Secrets

- She seems to be getting better. That's good.

Lorena approached to put her hand on Ella's forehead, who was lying in a bed in some room in Delagoria's house in particular.

She moved away to stand in front of the window, which clearly shows the moonlight

I think she'll be able to get up soon, her mind is in a coma

- That blow was so strong, if she was an ordinary vampire, she would have already died

Rina, who was sitting next to her daughter, sighed, holding her hand, a look of worry on her face

- Lorena... Actually, if it wasn't for your blood, Ella wouldn't be okay.

- Rina, a lot of things happened, but our friendship is undeniable. Even if you try, you can't.

Your daughter, she's so sweet and loving, she's the perfect woman for Eugene, though she's not his choice...

Rina raised her head and rose from the small chair and took steps towards the window from which Lorena was looking, softly clasping her hands towards her chest.

What do you mean, Lorena?

I mean, Ella isn't Eugene's chosen one, she can't be a vampire.

- These words are not my words, but rather the words of what was said in the book

The chosen one must be human

Lorena, you're hinting at something

- Yeah, I'm hinting

Lorena turned around to meet her friend face to face

- It's Marilyn... the enemy who wants to kill Eugene, is Eugene's chosen woman

I spoke in a sarcastic tone and walked into the room, away from Rina

- But this does not mean that I will allow him to get close to her, because that snake is the one who will cut off its head, but not now, there is something I have to do

Listen, Rina, your daughter will stay here with me for a while until I complete her treatment regimen. She needs a period of attention from me personally.

Rina sighed and lowered her head in frustration

- I'm sure I can trust you

Lorena walked out of her office, walked into the room, closed the door, and headed toward the office with quick steps, but she slowed down after seeing a window on her desk.

- What is this?

Lorena opened the envelope and took out the letter from inside as she walked towards the sofa while quietly lighting a cigarette.

She sat cross-legged confidently and raised her right eyebrow while reading

It was as if that old woman had already died with her blood exchanged

- Huh~ That's cool, party so...

- Ian, you can enter, no need to spy on me from behind the window like this

She spoke as she looked at the letter and Ian entered from the big window and appeared from behind the curtain

- Mom... I'm sorry

- But can I ask you something?

His answer and her eyes on the paper in her hand

- to speak.

You don't plan to use Eugene to revive my father, are you?

- Ian, why do you think so much?

- Eugene Khaled does not die, even if his body explodes, it will regroup again.

- So even if I were to plan something like this, there would never be any dangers

You mean you want to use my brother?

- Ian, don't bother me and don't meddle in these matters, I'm in control of everything already.

Ian walked quickly to close the office door firmly behind him without looking and without even caring for Lorena

Love is the thing that's been buried inside Lorena since losing Renee

- Rene...I can't wait for those nights we used to spend together laughing and eating like the first days

If I knew what you wanted in those days...

- What happened to happen.

Ian, you knew everything that was going on

Listen, Eugene, you can't accuse me of anything because I was threatened by our mother

- Just a moment

Eugene sat upright on the bed in his room at his mother's house

The room they have already prepared for him

-Why do you call her our mother and my father your father, and why do you and Anita look so much like my father?

Ian leaned against the wall and wrapped his arms around his chest

Your father gave us everything. One day my real father, Stephen, wanted revenge on Mr. René

My real father was so stupid that he tried to kill Mr. René, but he had failed miserably.

-Mr. Rene killed my real father for his stupidity and betrayal, and my mother too, but he did not kill me and my sister, but embraced us like his family

He always loved and pampered us

Then at some point he used to give us some of his blood in a grape drink, which was a substitute for blood.

From this little blood in the grape drink, our forms began to change little by little

- We embraced this change and knew that we were gaining strength little by little

After us, when we learned that Mr. Rene had died, our grief was so great that Anita refused to eat entirely for a week.

And from this, Mrs. Lorena took care of us, defending us even when we were young and exposed to strong situations, as she was always present in such situations for us.

You may not have lived with her, Eugene, but our mother is the best mother in the world.

- She acts like this with you because she doesn't know what to do when she sees you crying, she just wants to hug you, I'm sure of that.

- But Ian I did not get anything in return? How can I love her? I did not feel her warm chest, nor did I sleep next to her and feel her hair

- Ian, those days won't come back, and I can't do anything at all.

Mr. Slurs, I tried to break into Mrs. Delagoria's house, but I failed. There are so many guards in that house, so literally, that crossing could easily kill me.

- Damn this!!

Mr. Slurs hit the desk hard with his other hand over his mouth

So, Athelos, you should try again while I'm going to act and hold this party, for whatever the reasons, it's my job to get rid of these land-occupiers.
