Chapter 429: His Absence Created a Void in Her Heart
After thanking Mimo and telling the crochet fox toy to return to Calix, Leslie spent some quiet time to herself. Following her heart, she moved from her bedroom to his.
Lying on the huge mattress, Leslie’s eyes blankly wandered to the summer sky outside the windows. She picked up the lingering minty scent in the air, which reminded her of Calix.
Receiving several shocking revelations from Mimo overwhelmed Leslie despite being prepared for them. She needed time to think by herself, including crafting her next moves.
"...what should I do?"
Leslie grabbed a pillow, the one used by Calix last night. Hugging it close to her, she took in the scent she had grown familiar with. Tears pooled in her eyes, hidden behind her closed eyelids.
Calix was Axel. The original Calix had long been dead in the car accident six years ago.
The transmigrated Axel’s final wish before stepping into Death’s door was to reunite with his lover – her.
Mimo was the mystical link that led Leslie and Calliope to the new world Axel was living in as Calix Xu.
Calix would eventually regain his memories as Axel but, Leslie didn’t know when it would happen, including the conditions that needed to be fulfilled.
And...
Axel, now Calix, would face the last and major conflict set in the storyline soon. Once he survived through the ordeal, he wouldn’t be bound to the plots anymore.
