Chapter 359: How Things Unfolded (2)
Ava’s eyes widened as she gasped, "Marcus?"
"Yes, Ava. It’s me," Marcus cried, holding Ava in his arms. "I’ve been looking all over the world for you..."
Despite almost melting with relief, Ava still managed to weakly push against him as she cried. "Marcus, my baby... Save my baby, please. My...."
Before Ava was able to finish her words, her head lolled back as she lost consciousness. As if snapping out of a trance, Marcus immediately yelled at his men as he held Ava’s unconscious body. He then looked at the crying baby in her arms and held her before letting his men move Ava.
Spurred by his orders, Marcus’s men instantly carried Ava’s body onto a stretcher while the man himself carried Raine in his arms. "You look exactly like your mother," he whispered almost lovingly. "Don’t worry, my child. You and your mother will be safe now. I’ll take care of the two of you."
Looking at the scene, their mother had obviously failed to tell Marcus about baby Mara being taken away. It was no wonder then why her Father Marcus wasn’t aware that she had a twin.
From there, Nathan shifted the vision to Lark’s past. The scene started with Lark having encountered a werewolf while searching the forest for more fruits for Ava. He had managed to escape, but unfortunately, he got bitten, causing him to lose consciousness while his body mutated.
"Ava... Oh, God... What’s happening to me?" Lark cried as he tried to fight the mutation ravaging his body. "Please don’t do this to me now... My wife needs me..."
Desperately, he tried to move and walk his way back to Ava. Unfortunately, he hesitated when he started feeling like he was losing himself in the process. This was what was happening to him when their Mother got worried to start looking for Lark.
