Chapter 337: Anemone Aroma (7)
I lay in bed together with Laura. The bed supported our weight comfortably.
I sang Laura a lullaby as I stroked her hair. I’m terrible at singing, but I could at least hum the lullaby that I had grown up hearing. It was a song that my mother sang for me when I was very little.
“This lullaby……sung by the sea.”
Laura rubbed her face against my chest. Like a bird that had already broken out of its egg and was trying to push its head against the shell further. I couldn’t help but smile because it felt like I had a daughter who was acting like a spoiled child. I didn’t push her away as I accepted her entirely.
Laura muttered with a voice that was still raspy due to having just awoken.
“Lord, I heard you can live forever if you become a vampire.”
“Indeed, I heard that as well.”
“I must ask a vampire to turn this young lady into one as well. If I can become one, I would be able to remain by your side. Forever in my prime…….”
A single memory went through my mind. There was a girl who declared that death alone was hers and hers alone. That child had now cast aside something that was hers.
