Chapter 610:1 Knew Since I Was Young
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Heller’s POV:
In an instant, 1 felt as if I was struck by lightning. It was as if my soul had left my body, and 1 couldn’t understand a single word Yarin said.
“She’s gone? What do you mean? Where did she go? Has she gone back to Mom’s side?”
Yarin was still silent. I couldn’t help but clench his sleeve and shout, “Tell me! Say it! Where did she go?”
The medical staff quickly ran over to pull me away, muttering words like, “Be careful of your chest” and “The needle is rolling again”.
However, I couldn’t hear anything. My soul couldn’t return to my physical body. I just wanted to run to the moon and find an old lady who would smile and pick me up to sing children’s songs.
“Calm down, Heller, calm down!” Yarin tried to help the doctor hold me down, but I didn’t struggle anymore. I just cried.
Kara! Kara!
“... You told me Kara is dead, right? Is it because of the car accident?”
Yarin nodded slowly. After realizing I couldn’t see, he answered dryly, “That’s right... Kara has passed away.”
I felt like I’d fallen into an ice cave.
I was not my parents’ biological child. I’d known this since I was young.
My parents didn’t deliberately hide this. They didn’t want to use lies to wrap up fake happiness, but they didn’t want me to feel like a burden under someone else’s roof.
They treated me no differently from Yarin, so I didn’t feel inferior because of my blood ties.
However, my parents were different from the parents of other children. They shouldered the responsibility of the entire werewolf race. Whether they were willing or not, they would inevitably be absent from the childhood of my siblings and me.
And Kara was the one who filled this gap.
Using a single word to describe her in my heart was difficult. She was so loving and friendly. Sometimes she was like my guardian, and sometimes she was like my friend. I had never thought about what would happen if she left me one day. She had always been by my side as if she would accompany me forever.
But she was dead. In my memory, a second ago, she was still smiling and preparing snacks for us, but now she was dead and had become a cold corpse.
People couldn’t come back from the dead. I’d comforted family members politely at many funerals. It wasn’t until the moment when the parting of life and death fell on my head that I realized how painful this was.
Kara was a good person. Why did a good person end up like this? She should be safe and happy for the rest of her life and enjoy her family when she was old. She didn’t have a family or a child. It didn’t matter because I was her family, and i was her child.
‘Moon Goddess, why are you so cruel and unwilling to give a good person a good ending?’ n0vElUsB.C0m
“I want... I want to see her,” I said blankly.
“Yes, Kara is in this hospital,” Yarin answered in a low voice. “But wait a moment, okay? You’ve got to get checked now – if Kara were here, she wouldn’t let you walk around with all these wounds.”
I nodded silently.
As soon as I was pushed out of the ward, I heard hurried footsteps.
It was my dad.
“Sorry, I’m late, kids.” He gently embraced me like a warm summer breeze.
“Daddy,” I responded to him softly, feeling down. This made him realize something was wrong with me, and he turned to look at the doctor.
However, the doctor could only tell him about my physical injuries. As for the rest, Marin wanted to say something but hesitated.
“Kara died in this car accident. Heller couldn’t accept this news for a while...
He’s very close to Kara, closer than anyone else, so – ”
He sounded like he was about to cry, and 1 knew he wasn’t feeling well, either. I grew up with him like a shadow. Could his feelings for Kara be any less than mine?
My dad let out a long sigh. No matter how powerful a mortal was, they were powerless in the face of death.
“Can we go for a checkup now?” I asked softly, “I still want to go see Kara. I still want to see her for the last time.”
Everyone suddenly fell silent because of my words. A few seconds later, my dad said, “Of course, don’t worry. We’ll always be with you.”
His voice was dry, like the hoarse strings of a zither.
I didn’t have any impression of the entire examination process. No matter how others touched me, even my perception of pain was blunted to the point where it was close to zero.
Until everything ended, I didn’t feel any sense of reality. It felt like everything was a dream. There were a few times when I almost fell asleep. I felt everything was a dream when I woke up, but this nightmare never ended.
I heard my dad and the doctor discussing my condition. My ribs were broken and got worse because I struggled a few times. There were also a few broken bones on his body. According to the werewolf’s recovery speed, these were only minor injuries.
The most important was my eyes. “The eye nerves are fine, and the CT scan of the brain didn’t show any problems, but there has been no sign of improvement in his blindness. Perhaps, it is not a physiological cause...”
I didn’t listen to the rest of the discussion.
If I couldn’t find the reason, I might have to be blind for a long time.
It was nothing. I was not completely blind. I could still see some light orbs.
The only regret was that 1 might not even be able to see Kara for the last time..
