Chapter 930: MANIPULATION AND THE TRUTH (3)
"Leane..." The name escaped Cane’s lips. He didn’t think he would ever see her again.
For a moment, he was startled. He even forgot the fact that everything he was seeing right now was not real. That the woman before his eyes was not his real destined mate.
The look in her eyes. The way she bit her lip, how she tried not to cry and also how she didn’t even try to reach him like the other two impostors he had met, making everything about her felt surreal.
Instead, Leane was trying to get away from him, she kept her distance from him. Her arms wrapped around her belly protectively and when Cane looked down he saw her pregnant belly, just like how the last time he saw her.
She was as pregnant as her last moment before they slashed her stomach opened and took their son out of her.
This sight, this memory, were still be his worse nightmare until now after the death of his daughters and Iris’s depression.
He started to believe that the pregnancy of his mate was akin to a curse for him. Because everything went so wrong, so fast. If it was not for Amee and Iris, who convinced him maybe he would ask his mate to do the most horrendous thing and lris might never forgive him just like how he would never forgive himself... just like right now.
" Why did you let them do this to me?" Leane asked, her voice was quivering. "Why didn’t you do anything to help me? Why did you let them take away our firstborn? Why didn’t you do something? Why?"
Cane was lost for words, there was nothing he could say in front of Leane, even now he was still trying to deal with the guilty feeling he had in his heart.
He was being thrown away by the guilt of his failure to protect them. That was not his fault. Cane was well aware of that, but sometime what you felt not always in sync with the logic you had.
In his mind, he should be able to do something to protect them, to save their lives. If he didn’t do a certain thing, the result would be different and they might still live right now.
