Chapter 87 - 4.21
A week after they had returned back to Great Arctyr, Layla had slowly recovered and seemed to be in good health. She looked calmer than before, but she seemed to be in peace. Meanwhile, it was Lyon who seemed to be living in sadness from days to days.
Nobody really knew the reason for his sadness, except himself, Javier, and Layla.
Yunyu was sitting alone in a pavilion. He still couldn’t let go the sadness in his heart, Although Layla repeatedly told him that she was alright and would return stronger than ever, but it was him who felt like a failure.
He really wanted to protect the baby, he thought, at least, in this world he would be able to protect a baby. But he was still as powerless as he was in his real world.
[Pupa: Host, remember not to get too attached with a world, because we have a lot of worlds to visit. It will be hard to suppress your emotions in the next world.]
[I know... I just... I really want to protect the baby. I saw how my mother was mourning for her unborn child. Even though Layla is a strong woman, I can’t help feeling depressed over it...]
Meanwhile, Javier was watching Big bro Lyon from afar with a bouquet of roses, standing stupidly while holding the letter that was written by Layla. Layla pushed him and warned him, "Don’t forget my word, you must tell him the stuff we’ve discussed before!"
Javier gulped. He was nervous, he was afraid that Big brother Lyon would reject him because he was still grieving, but Layla kept pressuring him, because she didn’t want her brother to be depressed for too long. It was never his fault to begin with, in fact, Lyon was trying his best to help her, it was time for her to help.
He was so nervous that he forgot all the lines he had practiced with Layla last night. He walked unnaturally through the garden to the pavilion.
Lyon glanced at Javier who had entered the pavilion, and he chuckled, "Did Layla send you?"
"N—No!" Javier shook his head. He tried to dodge it by kneeling in front of Lyon, "I—I come here by my own will, I swear!"
