Jeremy was awake for a while. He could hear the machines around him and he figured out that he is in a hospital. His memories returned almost immediately. Especially the car ride to the airport. He was hurting like he was getting split into two at that time, but all he remembered now was her screaming at him, asking him to survive. More than his pain, what he felt was her pain. But more than feeling sad, he felt relieved and relaxed. She loves me and... That's what he thought at that moment,…-

Jerlina waited in front of the ICU for some time. Mikhail had some work to do and he left after keeping her company for some time. "It's about time," the nurse monitoring Jeremy came out and said. "Yes," Jerlina stood up to get in. She already told the nurse that she wanted to be beside him when he wakes up. Her heart started to beat fast and she fixed her clothes and checked in the mirror if she looked presentable. Joel... I'm here... She went through the sterilization process and as she…

"How did you even bring me out of the country without a passport?" Jerlina asked the question that was bugging her for a long time. Mikhail chuckled, "Rules, laws... they don't exist for everyone, Ms. Hopkins. Some can fly above them all, like eagles..." "Or like the hagfish," Jerlina couldn't help but say it. "People just avoid them because they don't want to get drenched in slime." Have I become one of those hagfish? "Ah..." Mikhail looked to the front. "So Rose..?" She asked. "I have…

"Because of Jonathan, Edward had to go to hiding fearing his boy would be the next victim of an "accident". Patrick followed his master, taking my sister with him...They changed their names and they kept it all even from me since I was under Jonathan's radar constantly," Alexander's eyes watered. "I only could take a quick glance at my only sister's children recently after they are all grown up and are married with kids..." His voice was filled with regret and pain. Jerlina could now understand why…

Jonathan Erling? Isn't Rose a relative of that vampire? Summon? Audience? Is he a King? Jerlina's eyes ended up at Mikhail and he bowed his head. Judging by how he found it hard to swallow, Jerlina inferred that he is stressed. "Why would he want to meet me?" Jerlina asked, placing the spoon down. She somehow managed to finish that bowl of porridge just by thinking of Joel. He'd have hated it! Alexander took a deep breath. His wrinkled face looked troubled and his eyes were red with…

"Have lunch with me," Alexander smiled. "After I check up on my husband," Jerlina smiled back. The old man pressed his lips and banged his cane on the marble floor expressing his displeasure using his authority. "After I check up on my husband," Jerlina repeated and Alexander let out a sigh. "Give way," she added. "How long did I sleep?" she mumbled and jumped over the cane. That old man really is very adamant. But where am I? This doesn't look like a hospital at all. Jerlina was…

Jerlina kept a safe distance from the professionals as they checked on him. She couldn't help but check his heartbeat placing her ear on his chest. It was very low. And it made her cry some more. He was fine just yesterday. He had such a strong heartbeat. Why is he like this now? "Mrs. Fitzgerald," one of the doctors pulled her aside as they loaded the stretcher on the plane. "We already have a blood reserve. We'll ask you if it is needed. For now, we'll be taking him to the ICU. And since it is a…

Mikhail could sense Jerlina was in great distress and is sceptica about everything. "Ms. Hopkins, Jeremy is my King. Take it as you please and I don't know if you know it or not, but my family and I are greatly indebted to him. I won't even wish harm on him," as he spoke, his hand naturally ended up on his chest as he spoke from his heart. Jerlina who was stressed to the max could feel his sincerity. She figured he was talking about the kidnapping incident that Joel talked to her about. "Thank…

Jerlina looked at her left hand. There was dark red blood on her hand. As the cold air blew, the blood dried and her hand started to shake. She looked to the front and Charlie and the others were subduing one of their guys. Why would someone from Joel's gang shoot him? "Joel!" Jerlina ran to his front and looked at his wound. Jeremy was placing his hand over the entry point and blood was oozing out. His big hand that caressed her head just now was now soaked in blood. "I'm-…

Jeremy at first thought they didn't notice him here because he's not in his car and they are confused. But when he looked in the direction they are pointing their weapon, he realized nothing is simple. That white hair... It is my Luna. Why is she not realizing weapons are pointing at her? He blared his horn. For one, to distract those guys with the weapons and secondly, to warn Jerlina. Jerlina was a bit careful to see if she was followed. There was nothing weird on the road as far as she…
