Chapter 119: CAN I COME CLOSER?

Gael looked at the baby in his arms, it was a baby girl. She looked very small and fragile, her hands were only one- fifth the size of his hands.

However, that small hands with tiny fingers that curled around his forefinger, held his world. She gripped his whole world in her little hands and yet, Gael felt this was the most amazing feeling that he ever felt.

He didn't want to put her down, if he could, he wanted to hold her every time, staring at her sleeping face or the way she pouted her lips. She was so beautiful…

"You need to put her down, she barely sleeps on her crib," Anne said, as she strode inside the room and found Gael was there.

"I can't put her down." He wanted to cherish every moment that he had with his baby girl.

But when Anne said nothing at all and just stared at him in her intent eyes, he knew that this old woman wanted to say something to him.

"What is it? You can say it to me," Gael said, he lifted his head and looked at Anne's complicated expression. She would only make that look when she was very reluctant to say the thing that she didn't want to say it out loud.

"Knox said the two of you need to go this night." Anne tried to keep her expression straight, but she failed in her attempt. Not only that, her eyes started to tear up.

On the other hand, Gael knew that this time would come, but somehow, he didn't think this would be this fast. He still needed time with his baby girl.

But then, even if he was given thousand centuries, it would never be enough for him.

"Okay," he said curtly. And then walked over to Anne and gave the baby to her. It would be five more hours before midnight. "I will go to see Lise."

"Hm," Anne mumbled, as carefully, she cradled the two days old baby in her arms. The baby stirred in her sleep, but she fell asleep immediately after she felt her warm body.

Gael leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on his baby's cheeks, he kissed her a little bit longer and hoped he could stay like this forever.

"Take a good care of the two of them, please," Gael asked Anne. This would be those rare moments when he asked something from her. "And thank you for everything that you have done for me and our little family."

Gael said it as 'our', since this was the only family that he knew and Anne was absolutely part of it.

"I will."

======================   

Gael stared at the silence night, feeling July's breath against his neck. She has not yet fallen asleep, as they savored every seconds of their togetherness.

July knew it would be a very long time for her to wait for Knox to return and the thought of it alone had made her felt very heartbroken.

How could she stay away from him for such a long time? And not only that, the thought of there was a possibility that she would not be able to see him again in this lifetime made her heart wrenched in pain.

There were a lot of things she wanted to say, there was supposed to be a lot of things for her to say in this moment.

But then, she enjoyed this silence with him. This silence and the way their body intertwined together and how their skin touched one another spoke more than July could say.

Knox brought her hand to his lips and kissed her gently. "I think it's time."

July didn't want to cry, but she couldn't help and let out a stifle sob.

"I am sorry if this has to end like this." Knox couldn't say how much it hurt him, but then it hurt July too.

"This is not the end," July said firmly, as she placed a kiss on his lips. She kissed him until she could feel Knox disappeared and she was all alone there…

Yes, this is not the end.

But, why her heart hurt so badly, she felt her chest caved in and she was suffocated with his absence, he was gone only for a second ago and July had already missed his presence, the warm of his touch…

The room was the silent witness of how much this broke her heart, as her cry echoed throughout the wall and the moonlight shone brightly in the night sky…

It felt so empty…

===================   

Gael came to Lise bedroom. He entered the room and said nothing, he wanted to stay with her for a little while and took care of her, yet he had only a little bit time left before he had to go.

On the bed, Lise looked exhausted, her face slightly pale, but she was fine with enough rest.

She was sleeping soundly when Gael entered her room, but maybe it was because Gael's intense gaze, Lise stirred awake and found him standing not far from her, leaning his tall body against the close door.

"The baby is crying?" she asked, rubbing her sleepy face, she just discharged from the hospital this morning and the journey back to this house had drained her energy, not to mention that she had to feed their baby every three hours.

Gael had managed to give them new identity and hid theirselves for months now. It was only a few people that he trusted that new the truth.

Therefore, it was only a few men that guard this hiding place, since Gael disappeared as the McKeltar.

He wanted to give his little family everything that he could, whatever beautiful things in this world, but for now, the world was not as beautiful as he thought…

"No, the baby is not crying, she is sleeping," Gael said and then he looked hesitated. "Can I come closer to you?" he asked.
