Chapter 76: Miss you
Exactly eight o’clock, when Aurora had just finished washing the dishes, the sound of the bell rang outside.
Thinking it was Harvey, she quickly ran out and was shocked when she saw William’s face. This was the first time he had come to her house. Luckily, she had already predicted that he would doubt her.
– Hello sir, what’s wrong? She smiled friendly.
– I went to visit a friend nearby and it was convenient so I stopped by to visit you. William also happily replied.
Seeing Aurora frown when looking at the crowd of bodyguards behind him, he immediately explained that to ensure his safety, he was forced to bring them along.
However, Aurora knew his purpose. Some of his followers wore necklaces, the pendants were crosses, and she could smell the scent of garlic wafting in the wind.
– Yes, the house is a bit cramped, please come in. She stepped aside to make way.
William cleared his throat and quickly entered. The bodyguards also followed him in droves.
The moment he saw the red liquid remaining in the glass on the table, his eyes lit up, and silently signaled his henchmen to prepare for action.
– Can you use tomato juice? Or drink tea? Aurora walked closer to him and asked.
– Are you drinking tomato juice? William rolled his eyes and asked.
– Yes. A beauty drink in the evening. She nodded.
– Give me a cup of hot tea.
While Aurora went to make tea, William signaled his bodyguards to go around her house, looking to see if anyone was still inside.
They quickly took out the cross and headed towards the hidden corners, upstairs, but there was no sound, which proved that there were no vampires here.
William’s forehead had blue veins because he was so angry. He was one step late again. The last chance was lost in just one day.
– Please have some tea. Aurora put a cup of fragrant hot tea on the table and invited William to drink.
– Oh, I suddenly remembered I have an appointment. Okay, I’m leaving. Please consider that I drank this tea.
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the gate, muttering a curse. Not being able to capture Samson meant he couldn’t find Lucasta because she was taken away by Samson.
He was targeting Harvey because Harvey was the only backup plan. However, he also understood that catching that guy was very difficult.
Behind him, Aurora smiled slightly. She felt that he was crazy. Researching dried blood to store and then put it back into the human body is difficult, so how could he use vampire blood to research the elixir of immortality? He’s a paranoid person.
When the luxury cars disappeared from the small alley, the burden on Aurora’s heart was also laid down.
She just hoped Samson would forget Lucasta, stay in the deep forest forever, and hope he would quickly regain his form as a cold, immortal vampire gentleman.
As Aurora expected, after more than a week of Samson being cared for by Maris, he was able to walk and do everything by himself, not bothering her anymore.
However, according to her wishes, he still allowed the owls to help him clean inside and outside the castle.
Maris wanted Samson to create jobs for the owls. If they had too much free time, they would tease each other and chase each other around.
– Lucasta, I miss you so much.
The man’s thin hand gently opened the closet door and caressed the dresses hung neatly inside as a way to soothe the longing for the girl he loved.
Every day, morning and afternoon, he went to her room even though she was not present there.
More than once, he wanted to go back to the city to see how she was living, but his health did not allow it and Maris always monitored him with owl cameras. He only hoped and prayed for her safety.
When night fell, he left the castle again, climbed the branches of a towering tree, and lay down to look at the moon, reminiscing about the warm and peaceful times in the past.
He didn’t know that in the city filled with light, there was a girl who always missed him.
Tonight, the moon illuminates the forest and even the dark corners of the city, illuminating the yard where Lucasta is sitting.
She propped her chin up, looked up at the sky, and missed the moonlight in the forest. She wondered where Samson was right now.
– Samson, you’ll be okay, right? Why don’t you take me with you? If at that time you offered to take me with you, I would have agreed.
Speaking of this, she was about to cry, but the sound of a car stopping in front of the gate made her control her emotions.
Because she obeyed Michael, even though she knew he was outside, she still sat quietly behind the bushes and did not run out to welcome him.
If someone accidentally saw her, it would be trouble. After all, she is playing the role of a missing person.
After parking the car, Michael walked over to her and sat down opposite her. She noticed his tired look and sunken eyes.
Over the past few days, he and Bevis along with some of his trusted police officers have been quietly investigating William but the results were nil.
– Lucasta, hear me out. The old case could not be investigated. If you want to convict William, the only way is to investigate the illegal things he has just done and is doing. He put his hands on her shoulders and spoke in a low voice.
– You mean he killed Ben and Natasha? Lucasta quickly asked.
– Yes. I think he killed a lot of people. Lucasta, I’m thinking about something very terrible but…
– But what?
While the blonde girl impatiently wanted to know Michael’s thoughts, he was stopped by his emotions.
It wasn’t until a long time later that he calmed down and told Lucasta his suspicions.
But Jony did not allow him to investigate because there was not enough evidence for Jony to suspect William.
If he secretly investigated, it would be very difficult because he did not have enough human resources and could not ask other related units to support the investigation.
– Take me to see him and he will believe right away. I am the witness. – Lucasta took his hand and firmly affirmed.
– No, I can’t bet on your safety. If Jony doesn’t believe you, it means you have to return to William.
Lucasta lowered her head in disappointment, not seeing Michael’s miserable eyes.
More than anyone else, he wants to end this decades-long case.
When he saw his teammates having to work overnight year after year, with no time for themselves and their families, he felt very uncomfortable.
In the end, Michael took the initiative to tell Lucasta that the best way to find traces of William’s crime was through Samson.
A vampire with outstanding speed, strength, and immortality will easily track criminals. In short, he wanted to work with Samson.
– But I don’t know where he is. Lucasta cried when mentioning Samson.
– I guess he’s at Dr. Aurora’s house. Tomorrow afternoon, I’ll take you there.
Listening to Michael say that, Lucasta suddenly remembered. Why did she forget that place?
Samson was seriously injured so she believed he would get there. The extreme joy made her breathing difficult. She nodded vigorously to show her agreement.
All night long, Lucasta couldn’t sleep and when the sun had not yet appeared, she woke up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast before Michael woke up.
Her heart was calling Samson’s name, and her mind was filled with his image. Only she knows how much she misses him, only she knows she dreams about him every night.
After breakfast, Michael went back to the office and Lucasta continued to pray for the sun to quickly return to the mountain to sleep.
She imagined hundreds of situations when she faced Samson, practicing the questions she would use to ask him.
This feeling was strange, she felt her face heat up and her whole body numb when thinking of the two of them meeting again.
At exactly six o’clock in the evening, Michael hurriedly returned home after giving instructions to his subordinates.
Because Lucasta was ready, as soon as the car stopped, she quickly opened the gate and climbed into the car.
– Let’s set off.
– Yes.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
The car drove through busy streets and stopped in front of a small alley.
Lucasta looked surprised because she knew cars could still enter this alley and could exit at the end of the alley, there was no dead end.
– You go there alone, I’ll wait for you here. I’m afraid that if I’m present, everyone won’t be able to talk comfortably. Michael spoke up.
Lucasta nodded, opened the car door, and got out. The alley was so empty that only the sound of her heels clicking on the street could be heard.
Her heart was jumping and excited when it knew that in just a few minutes, she would meet Samson.
Perhaps she has fallen in love with him. The noble sacrifice he made for her made her heart flutter.
The moment he revealed his vampire appearance when being attacked by the hunters, although she was afraid, she also felt sorry for him.
After standing still in front of the gate for a long time, Lucasta boldly rang the bell and a few seconds later, Aurora appeared.
Seeing the blonde girl, Aurora opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked around.
– It’s just me. Michael won’t come in. Please open the gate for me. Lucasta begged.
The gate quickly opened and Aurora immediately pulled the guest inside, then locked it carefully.
Lucasta quickly ran into the house and looked everywhere.
– What are you looking for? Aurora crossed her arms, looked at the girl, and asked.
– Samson, he’s here, right?
Aurora shook her head and said Samson had been taken back to the castle by Maris and he would never return to the city again.
Or rather, he will return to his previous life, alone in the deep forest, no longer related to humans.
– He wanted to have a normal life like humans, get married, and have children, without being immortal. He loves you, Lucasta, he loves you very much.
Aurora originally intended not to say this, but more than anyone else, she understood her master’s burning wish.
It was very difficult for him to love another person and it was very difficult for this girl to agree to find him even though she knew his identity, so Aurora wanted to bet once and say everything.
– I know, I know he loves me, but what should I do? I can accept being his wife but I don’t want my child to be a vampire. They will have to live in darkness and suffer loneliness. Who will accept them? Lucasta collapsed and burst into tears.
Aurora gently bent down, helped Lucasta to the sofa and revealed to her that Samson was originally a normal person, but because he unintentionally angered the Sun God, he was cursed and turned into a vampire.
The only way to break the curse is to have a girl who loves him sincerely and accepts to use her blood as food for him for a year.
