Chapter 346 Date With Silas (1)
In the afternoon, Kyra decided to take little Toma and everyone else to her space capsule for some much-needed relaxation. Toma, with his wide green eyes, looked around in pure wonder, taking in the futuristic and cozy space. He eagerly ran around, exploring every corner, his excitement bubbling over.
To keep him entertained, Kyra turned on a children’s movie, Stuart Little. As the screen lit up with the tiny mouse’s adventures, Toma sat down, completely engrossed, his little hands clapping in delight. But to Kyra’s surprise, Lucas seemed to be enjoying the movie even more than Toma. He watched Stuart Little with such fascination, laughing and making comments about the mouse’s bravery.
At one point, Lucas stood up, crossing his arms with a serious expression. "I’ve decided," he announced, "I’ll never treat rat Beastmen badly again. Not after seeing this."
Kyra couldn’t help but burst into laughter at his dramatic declaration. "It’s just a movie, Luca," she teased, wiping a tear from her eye. But Lucas wasn’t budging; he seemed genuinely moved by the story.
Meanwhile, Damon and Silas watched the whole thing with amused smiles, finding Lucas’s sudden change of heart about rodents highly entertaining. Even Oceanus, who was usually calm and composed, chuckled at Lucas’s newfound respect for rats.
As the movie went on, Toma curled up next to Kyra, resting his head on her lap. His small body relaxed as he dozed off, worn out from the excitement of the day. Kyra gently stroked his hair, her heart swelling with affection for the little boy and the peaceful moment they were all sharing.
It was a rare moment of quiet and happiness for their family, and Kyra felt an overwhelming sense of contentment, grateful for the lightheartedness and love.
In the evening, as everyone began preparing for the meal, Kyra decided to turn off the space capsule and head in outside. But as soon as she stepped outside, a wave of nausea hit her, and she quickly rushed to the bathroom.
The feeling was overwhelming, and before she knew it, she was hunched over, vomiting.
Silas, noticing her sudden departure, followed her quietly. Without saying a word, he knelt beside her and gently patted her back, offering silent comfort. Kyra, her eyes teary from the nausea, glanced up at him. They hadn’t spent much time together recently, and in this vulnerable moment, his presence felt surprisingly comforting. Before she could even thank him, another wave of sickness hit, and she started vomiting again.
Silas stayed with her, patiently waiting until the nausea subsided. When it finally did, Kyra leaned back against the wall, exhausted and pale. She felt weak and wasn’t sure she could manage to eat dinner, but she knew she had to. Not eating wasn’t an option, especially with the baby.
Silas helped her up, his hand warm on her back as they returned to the kitchen. Despite her lack of appetite, Kyra forced herself to sit at the table. Damon, Vincent, Oceanus and Lucas, concerned, looked over at her as she slowly took a few bites. The food was delicious, but she could barely taste it. Still, she ate what she could, knowing it was important for her and the baby’s health.
