Chapter 999: BONUS - : YOU WILL BE FINE
Zaya was sad after she lost Lil Thing, she refused to go out of her room and would often ask Zale to take her to Lil Thing’s grave, which happened near their family burial. She would talk to her sisters to take care of Lil Thing.
Sometimes, it would be Zenith or Zander who accompanied her there and her father or mother, but Zaya still felt very sad. Lucia tried to cheer her up, but despite everyone’s effort, there was no improvement.
People missed her cheekiness and the sound of her laughter and Cane reduced his working time to spend it with his little one, yet most of the time, Zaya would be sleeping, she would hug him and sleep away her sadness. This trait reminded Cane of his mate.
Understandably because this was the first time for Zaya to face death. Her first experience of the mortality, her first understanding that everything had its own time.
"Do you want to go with me to the east city?" Cane asked Zaya one day. It was the second month since they lost Lil Thing and no matter what they tried to cheer her up, it didn’t work.
Iris would check on her daughter from time to time, but Zaya would be sleeping if she didn’t go to the burial ground and put new flowers for their family and Lil Thing.
"I don’t want to go," Zaya said, she rested her head on Cane’s lap, as she went to find her father in his strategy room.
"I will go for a month, don’t you want to accompany me?" Cane caressed Zaya’s head. He was one among a few people that she allowed to touch her hair.
When she was little, Cane would style her hair often. Her father still did it now, but not as often as before.
"Zander will go with you..." Zaya said sleepily.
"Okay." Cane didn’t insist. "But, I would love for you to come. I remembered you sneaked around to follow Lou when you were little to go to east city. Don’t you want to see it now?"
