118 TOO BAD IF I HAVE TO THROW IT AWAY

Jenny didn’t know what they wanted with her baby and why they starved her, as she is due in two months now...

She wouldn’t have energy to go through labor at this rate and her baby would die during the process. Or maybe they wanted to see the endurance of a baby shifter. How could the baby survive such a situation...

How cruel could they be? .

In the distance, Jenny heard someone approach her room and her body shivered involuntarily because she knew what she would face later.

She hugged her body and whispered to her unborn child. “Mommy loves you, my baby. I love you... your dad loves you...”

Her heart swelled in pride when she felt her baby move, kicking her lightly, as if saying that the baby could hear her voice and understand it.

It was the only thing that could make Jenny persevere in this environment.

“It’s time!” a man said, as he gestured to the other two men behind him to take Jenny away for another observation.

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

.....

Knox looked at July indulgently, her skin glowing under the soft moonlight that came through the balcony in this apartment, as they laid down on the couch.

July yawned and rested her head against his chest, she was like a spoiled kitten. Her black hair scattered on Knox’s chest and the smell of her shampoo was one of his favorite scents.

“I need to go,” Knox said softly. He didn’t want to break this serenity, but he needed to tell her about this.

On the other hand, July had expected this, but she still couldn’t come to terms with it. “Where?” Now she was on alert, all of her sleepiness had disappeared. Her eyes became sharp in this dimly lit room.

“Somewhere far...” Knox couldn’t explain it to her, since it was something complicated to be understood.

July clenched her jaw, she didn’t say anything for some time and then she slid down from on top of Knox’s body and took his shirt. She wore it carelessly, as she strode to her bedroom, leaving him there alone.

Knox sighed, he pushed himself up and sat down. His head hung very low, as he was trying to think about something that could make her feel better, yet there was no other way to tell this without hurting her.

However, after a few minutes passed and Knox was about to stand up to follow her to her bedroom, he heard the door being opened and July reappeared, still in his shirt.

She looked beautiful and radiant like always.

“Sit,” July said, as she pushed Knox back onto the couch and they faced each other. For a moment, she closed her eyes as she asked him. “When will you come back?”

“Don’t wait for me.” Knox clenched his jaw when he saw pain glistening in her eyes. “I don’t want you to wait for me and waste your time. You deserve more than what I can offer to you.”

“You didn’t answer my question,” July said stubbornly. “When will you come back?”

“I can’t say it for sure.” There is a huge difference in time between this realm and the supernatural realm, where they needed to find Chaos. They could spend a week there, but it would have been decades in the human realm.

“Give me the exact time.” July was about to break down when she thought about the worse. She realized that she couldn’t make him stay, so she would wait for him instead.

“July...”

“Knox, please...”

“You can’t ruin your life like this.”

July’s gaze hardened, she wiped away her tears with the back of her hand harshly before they could fall on her cheeks. “You ruined me, now you must take responsibility for that.”

Knox was taken aback. It was harsh, but it was the truth. “If I can turn back time...”

“I will fall in love with you all over again...” July finished his line and didn’t let him end it with regret. “If I can turn back time, I want to love you longer than my lifetime.”

It was one thing that Knox always knew. Their lifetime...

Someday, Knox would reach the day when he would see her standing in the final phase of her life, while the only things that were left for him would be only their memories. He would have to live with that, regretting every passing second that he spent without holding her tightly in his arms.

“I want to meet you again, no matter how long it takes.”

“It will not be fair for you.”

“I don’t want fairness,” July became emotional. “I want you.”

Knox pulled her closer and hugged her even tighter. He wanted to forget everything and despised whatever the things that put him away from her... he wanted the time to stop.

“Please come back and see me again...” that was the only thing that July asked from him. She didn’t care how long it would take Knox to return, she wanted him to see her again.

“I will.” Knox knew it was a mistake to promise her something that he knew very well would hurt her, but he would do anything to keep his promise to her.

July cried silently and then freed her body from him, as she showed him something in her hand. It was a ring. The same ring that Knox put on her finger the last time he saw her, when everything had not turned into a mess.

“I want you to put it on my finger,” July said. “You should do it properly and look at my reaction.”

Knox laughed softly when he heard that. He intended to see her reaction, but something came up and he simply was not able to meet her for such a long time.

“I thought you had thrown it away.” Knox thought that way because he didn’t see it on her finger.

“That crossed my mind, but it’s a diamond, too bad if I have to throw it away.”
