Chapter 1001: BONUS - : REMEMBER ME
"I will not let him go, honey." Iris approached Zaya and she hugged her mother, tears welled up in her eyes, because she was too afraid of the possibility that might happen to her father. She didn’t want to lose him.
"I don’t want father to die." A single tear streamed down Zaya’s eyes when she said that. It was traumatizing for her to watch how Lil Thing left her, but she was terrified to think she was not going to see her father again.
"I don’t want too, dear." Iris kissed the top of Zaya’s head. She was glad that Cane was sleeping right now and didn’t wake up, because he would be heartbroken to see his little princess cried like this. "He will be fine. He will be fine honey."
Zaya lifted her head and looked at her mother through her teary eyes. "Promise?"
Iris kissed the tip of her nose, but she didn’t answer her.
For the next couple of weeks, Zander had to mature overnight, because Cane couldn’t handle the state affair effectively.
Thankfully, there were a lot of people that helped him to go through this. Lou, Ethan and Jace had never left his side and everyone would jump in to help the young future king to tackle some problems.
Iris would always be there for her children too, but the rest of her time would be with Cane.
Zander got all the help that he needed, but still, he missed his father dearly. He wanted him to teach him like usual. He missed their late night discussion.
Zaya would come to her father’s bedroom often to read for him. She would bring a bunch of flowers in her arms to replace the previous one.
"Good morning, Zaya," Carla greeted her when she saw she hugged a flower bouquet. "Do you need help?"
