78 HE TAKES THE PAIN FOR HER

“What do you mean he is not here?” There was no way Blue could escape from that strange place without Chaos’ help. She was sure that she was not dreaming about that. She could even still smell his coffee scent inside this room... “He was here,” she insisted.

“He was here and now he was gone.”

Blue was silent, letting the words sink in her mind when he said that Chaos was gone. She didn’t like the sound of it.

“When will he come back?” she asked sullenly.

“I don’t know.” This time, Knox really didn’t know when Chaos would return and he was a little worried about it as well.

Unlike before, this time the way he left bothered him and he couldn’t help but remember the last words that he said to him.

“Is he all right?” Blue muttered, she looked down. She just escaped the clutches of death, but there was no joy in her voice or face.

Whether she didn’t realize it yet or not, she didn’t seem aware of her little journey to the underworld realm and the chaos that the man had created because he thought he lost her.

He indeed lost her, but he got her back...

.....

“Of course, he is fine.”

“How can you say that?”

“Because I am alive.” That was the only solid proof that Chaos was not dead yet. After all, that abominable creature couldn’t have died so easily...

He wouldn’t die, but maybe ‘vanish’ would be the right word to use in his case.

=====================

Hades was livid when he learned what Chaos had done to reach the girl. He had created havoc in his own hell.

What the f*ck with the way this abominable creature was thinking?!

However, when he saw the man sitting on the ground, leaning his back against the wall behind him, he calmed down a little bit.

Chaos was not in good shape.

What he had done in the underworld had taken a toll on him now.

“You are so stupid to take the pain from the girl.” Hades approached him and stopped just two steps away from him.

It was only then that Chaos lifted his head and stared at Hades. He threw him a nasty look. “She was in pain,” he hissed as the very same pain rendered him exhausted.

“Of course she was, but it doesn’t change the fact that you are so stupid to take the pain away from her,” he said righteously.

“You said nothing about the pain.” Chaos just knew when he was about to take Blue out of that d*mn place that it would cause her an excruciating pain.

Apparently, those devils in the underworld couldn’t get out from that f*cking place because they were not able to endure the pain.

They, who had belonged to that place, wouldn’t be able to leave without feeling the pain, as if they were being skinned alive, while their body was burning.

That was the same feeling that Chaos had to endure right now, the pain that Blue had to go through as well for a brief moment.

“Because you didn’t ask.” Hades tilted his head. “Keep doing this and she will become your weakness. You do remember those creatures that want you to cease to exist. They will hunt her down to bring you to your knees.” Hades clicked his tongue, as if he was reprimanding a nine years old child. “You are hopeless.”

Chaos ignored those words as he closed his eyes. He needed to get better soon, so he could leave this place.

“And I still don’t forgive you for releasing those monsters.” Hades then walked away from this realm.

It was not a specific place that one could find it easily, this place was a realm that Chaos created for himself, thus no one would be able to enter without his permission.

He needed time to heal...

===============

Lise still didn’t want the baby, but Sol kept telling her that she only took the decision out of anger and that was not her at all.

Though Lise kept yelling at him that the childhood friend, the woman that he knew, had long gone, Sol didn’t budge with his decision.

“If you don’t want the baby, we can put the baby up for adoption.” At least with this, if one day Lise changed her mind and she wanted to see her baby, she would still have a chance.

Sol knew her very well. She was not someone that would kill an innocent soul, just because she wanted to free herself and make herself feel better.

This wouldn’t make her feel better, this would only destroy her.

Because when she finally realized it, the guilt, for killing her own flesh and blood, would eat her alive. She wouldn’t be able to get rid of that thought out of her mind...

“We arrived,” Sol informed Lise, who was sleeping, resting her head on his shoulder.

They took a taxi back to the Fokosa city and Sol could see how much damage was caused by the calamity while the taxi driver spoke about the casualties and also sad stories from the people, who lost their loved ones.

Lise stirred awake, she was on medication and this made her feel sleepy most of the time, therefore, she missed seeing the ruined city along their way.

Fortunately, this part of the Fokosa City, which was Williams family residences, didn’t seem to receive so much damage.

“Let’s go,” Sol said softly, he got out of the car after giving the driver the money and then opened the door for Lise.

“I don’t want to stay with your family.” There was no offense in her words, Lise just didn’t want to mingle with other people in her current condition.

“Don’t worry, we will leave after I see my father,” Sol reassured her.

However, someone suddenly talked behind him. “Who said you can leave?”
