Chapter 154: Her Search
A few hours later...
Mineah felt so utterly drained that she almost slumped her body onto the bed as soon as she teleported back with the help of Wizard Lurio. She turned around, finding herself gazing at her husband’s serene sleeping face and all exhaustion seemed to wash away in that moment.
She chuckled softly and hummed, "Look at you, smiling so gorgeously." Unable to resist, Mineah leaned in and gave her husband a quick peck on his lips before hurriedly changing into a nightgown. She then slid under the covers, nuzzling her body against Nikolai’s naked form.
Knowing that the spell would lose its effect before dawn broke, Mineah sighed deeply as her mind lingered on Tarah’s words.
’He’s struggling now, but I saw Ezekiel succeed with your help. We, humans, are made up of body, soul, and spirit and they all interact with each other. But Ezekiel’s spirit was expelled when he shifted into Vulcan’s form. Right now, it’s still Ezekiel’s body, but Vulcan’s soul is trying to take charge but hasn’t because Ezekiel’s soul is fighting hard to keep Vulcan from fully taking over. He just needs more time, so please make sure he won’t be harmed during these crucial days. You need to find Ezekiel’s spirit which is lost and help him return to his body. Ezekiel needs his spirit to shift back into his human form.’
She would have to search for Ezekiel’s spirit, and only someone with angel blood connected to him through blood ties can locate his spirit. She closed her eyes, preparing herself for another long day and night of searching– this time for Ezekiel’s spirit.
She buried her face into Nikolai’s neck and whispered, "I love you, Lai. I’m sorry that I still need to hide certain things from you." She wanted to be completely open with Nikolai, but hesitated, knowing about the painful past he had with his father’s death, whom Nikolai dearly loved.
Mineah closed her eyes, allowing exhaustion to take over, and drifted into a deep slumber.
