Chapter 88: Haven Has Awaken
People said that children were the embodiment of pure souls, and Charlotte had never doubted those words, not even once in her life.
The moment she stepped into Haven’s hospital room, the little girl greeted her with a warm smile. She waved excitedly, her innocent grin somehow reigniting the energy in Charlotte’s body, which had felt drained all day.
"Auntie Charlotte!" Haven exclaimed cheerfully. She reached out, trying to hold her hand. "You came!"
Charlotte walked closer, letting the little girl wrap her tiny fingers around hers. "Of course, I came," she whispered, then pressed a soft kiss to Haven’s forehead. "I’ve been waiting for you to wake up."
Haven giggled, pulling back slightly. "I have so much to tell you! Daddy said I survived a deadly wizard’s poison, and now I have superpowers!"
Charlotte responded with a laugh before sitting beside Haven. She listened to every one of the little girl’s ramblings, whether they made sense or not.
Across the room, Damon watched Charlotte quietly. Louis stood beside him, his expression calm, but Damon knew better that his brother’s heart was still filled with anger and vengeance.
"Brother, I want to kill him," Louis muttered, his voice laced with barely restrained fury.
"So do I," Damon admitted. "But it’s not that simple."
Aside from the fact that Julian was still their family, the Nocturnal Order wouldn’t allow them to kill each other so easily. Since the modern era, a strict law had been in place, every crime had to go through the court.
"The court won’t serve justice," Louis scoffed. "All they’ll do is throw him in jail, but that means nothing. He’ll still be alive after nearly killing his own cousin."
