Chapter 495: 495 RHEA

495 RHEA

It could be counted with two hands the time when Gael drove and picked her up from school, thus what he said was nonsense.

“Don’t kid me, you didn’t drive me to school, you gave me money to take public transportation.” Zuri swatted his hand away.

“Oh, did I?” Gael looked surprised when he heard that. “I don’t remember that, you know when you grow old, you become senile,” he chuckled at his own joke and then immediately stopped when he saw the way Zuri threw him a dagger look. “Okay, I will stop here.”

The moment they opened the gates and entered the house, it was a front yard that was not too big, but they could hear a giggling sound from a little girl, while July’s voice talked something to her.

Zuri froze for a moment in her place, July’s voice was exactly the way she remembered her and then there was another voice, this was a man, this must be Sebastian.

“I think they are in the back yard.” Gael tilted his head and then looked around this area, but he halted his step when he realized that Zuri didn’t move from her spot. “Zuri?”

The look on her expression alone told him his deepest fear, the worst thing possible that could happen.

“So, that’s it,” Gael said under his breath, his eyes hardened and he kept his eyes at the girl beside him. “Do you want to confirm this again?”

Zuri didn’t need to confirm anything, even though she wanted to see July and Sebastian again after six years, she didn’t want to confirm this. If she could, she would choose to stay away from them and know nothing.

.....

She didn’t want to put herself in the crossroad again and chose, who she would save, it was enough for her to ask Chaos to spare Eros and Nikolai’s life, but if she asked for more, she was afraid that Chaos would put her in arms length again like before.

She didn’t want Chaos to think that she was conflicted with the situation they were in right now, even though that was the truth.

Zuri didn’t want to admit this, but she started despising their situation right now, it was a mild feeling at the beginning, something that she could brush it off easily, but it was like a seed, time would take care of it before it grew stronger. She wanted to cut that kind of feeling.

“We… we need to leave,” Zuri stammered, because she could hear the sound of small footsteps came closer to them, but it was too late.

Zuri took a step back, but before she could leave, they heard a shrill scream from a little girl, who was rushing toward them and Zuri was mortified when she found the blue eyes stared back at her.

“Guess!” the little girl squalled and then her beautiful eyes darted toward Gael. “Uncle Gael!”

The little girl ran toward Gael with her short arms raised, she asked for him to carry her up, she looked so happy to see Gael. From the look of it, he must have visited a few times for the little girl to remember him.

“Rhea! Where are you going?” July’s voice could be heard before they could see her, coming with Sebastian behind her.

The two of them had a pleasant surprised when they saw Gael, but their expression immediately changed when they saw Zuri was there as well, after all, it was hard to not recognize her with this peculiar white hair, even though she had turned around and was about to leave this scene.

“Zuri?” July called her, as she hastened her steps and then grabbed her by her wrist to turn her body around. “It’s really you…” she sighed.

How July was right now? She must not be that old, right?

The woman before her eyes, was beautiful, she must have broken a few hearts of men in her golden years, but even so, time didn’t lie on human like her, she grew old. The young woman that Zuri remembered was well hidden behind her hardened expression. She looked fragile, but not to the point of concerning.

However, Zuri recognized it, she was growing old, like what July scared the most when she left the McKeltar manor six years ago. She grew old and in a blink of an eye, she would like Ann.

Human’s lifespan was so short compared to the supernatural creature and what Zuri could understand from what she was seeing right now was; they would be gone in a few years.

Ten to twenty years meant nothing to her, but for them, they would come closer to their limit. In the end, she would need to say goodbye to the people that she knew.

“Zuri? What are you thinking?” July shook her arms to get her attention because she had been staring at her intensely. “I miss you.”

And without waiting for her reaction, July pulled her into a tight hug. She always said that she thought of her as her little sister, she was her family, no matter what happened in the future.

But right now, Zuri wondered if she would still think of her as her family when everything had done and she must do what was necessary…

Zuri didn’t think she would be forgiven. She was at lost…

It would be easier for her to kill hundreds of people that she didn’t know rather than have to face the reality before her eyes.

“Oh, I have not yet introduced you to my daughter,” July said, as she freed herself from this hug and then scooped the little girl in her arms. “This is Rhea, my and Sebastian daughter.”

Everyone there knew that was a lie, except this little girl named Rhea.

“Hallo, Rhea,” Zuri greeted her dizzily and the little girl’s smile bloomed warmly.

“I love your hair!”
