Chapter 284: Not Meant to Be
The extremely saddened look that fogged up the hope shining in her eyes when he told her his answer came back to him too clearly than he would have preferred.
“Your little sister is desperately searching for you so if you’re ever going to wake up, this might be a great time to do so...” he whispered as he kept his eyes on Roxanna’s sleeping face.
Roxanna showed no signs of waking up or acknowledging any of the prince’s words. Darius let out a soft sigh before averting his gaze from her face. Staring at her too much only reminded him of the woman who counted herself as her younger sister.
“Your little sister is very bold...and brave...” Darius said before his lips curved into a grin.
He could still hear Asana’s voice as she described the appearance of the sister that she had been searching for. Unfortunately for her, the current situation barred her from ever seeing her sister ever again. Darius’s eyes turned cold and emotionless when he reminded himself of the secrets that must be kept buried forever. There was no way that he could ever let Asana find out about what really happened to her sister.
“Don’t you worry about her. I’ll make sure that she can live in comfort for the rest of her life in a good place,” Darius promised softly.
The beeping sound of the machines returned to his senses once more and he was certain that that would be the only response that he was ever going to get. According to the doctors, it would be a miracle if Roxanna regained consciousness and yet a bigger miracle if she could return to normal. Sometimes Darius couldn’t help but wonder if Roxanna would have wanted to die rather than being in a vegetative state from which she may never recover from. Ultimately, it was Leonard who understandably refused to let go of her.
“A week. If you don’t wake up in a week, you will most likely never see your precious little sister again,” Darius said sternly although he was certain that she could not hear him.
