Chapter 248: Test
Jules’ pov
I touched Elio’s cheek, feeling guilt swamp up my chest as I took in his pale, unconscious appearance. I was extremely thankful that he didn’t end up dying, because if that happened, I really wouldn’t have been able to forgive myself.
Elio had been operated on a few times since last night and now he’s currently in a coma. The doctors said he was hanging on fine and should be up before the end of the week.
I wondered if we should contact his family members or not. Blaze advised against that, claiming his family members believed he was currently in school and that it was best they don’t start worrying for him unnecessarily.
I stared at him for a moment longer before moving away from his bed and shoving my hands deep into the povkeys of the large hoodie I currently had on. Kim was the one who provided me with these clothes; he and Roy went to do a little shopping this morning.
On remembering that my powers really are unlocked, I felt a smile stretch across my face. I really couldn’t believe that this was my new reality. When Kim saw me this morning, he could instantly detect the change in my scent, and I wondered how I’d return back to school this way with me smelling strongly of magic.
When I stepped out of the room, Kim was waiting for me and we soon fell into steps beside each other. A few guards were accompanying us, assigned by Blaze to accompany me to the hospital this afternoon because he claimed my life is undoubtedly gonna be in more danger on moving forward.
"Thank you so much for saving my life. I mean this from the bottom of my heart. I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness, I never did, but I want you to know that I genuinely regretted all of this and if I get the chance, I’d take it all back in an instant." As he spoke, the sincerity was starkly painted across his face and I felt my chest squeezed tightly, I didn’t know what it was about him that just left my heart feeling heavy and aching.
"Of course. I couldht let you die no matter what, and I do forgive you. Everyone deserves forgiveness." I responded and within my mind, I said, ’except the murderers of my entire family’.
