Chapter 921
Trapped in Love
While lost in thought, Axel glanced at Liora, who sat motionless on the bed, her face cold and drained of any emotion.
Her dull eyes no longer reflected her past brightness.
Feeling sorry for her, Axel walked over and pulled her into his arms.
âYou donât have to hold back, Lia.
Just cry if you want.
Iâm here.â She leaned her forehead against Axelâs chest and hoarsely whispered, âAxel.â âYeah, Iâm here,â Axel reassured her.
âIs Daddy also dead?â Lioraâs icy voice broke Axelâs heart.
âIâm sorry, but I donât know.â Tears welled up in Axelâs eyes.
Liora shifted her head and sounded even sadder.
âI heard what Mommy said.
Uncle Neil, Uncle Kenny, and Daddy got into accidents, and it was him who did it.â Axel softly patted Lioraâs back, offering silent comfort.
Usually, Liora had the most agitated reactions, but now she didnât even shed tears.
This realization made Axel panicâhe was worried that something might be wrong with her mentality.
Liora took a slow breath, closed her eyes, and fell silent.
Axel looked down at her, and his complicated feelings intensified when he saw her breathing evenly wa her eyes closed.
But at that moment, all consolation would be meaningless.
After closing her eyes, Liora dozed off and started dreaming.
In her dream, Fairy and Whitey appeared again, but this time, they were very far away.
No matter how much she wanted to get close to them, they remained out of reach.
Failing to catch up, she called anxiously, âFairy, Whitey!â Her words made them disappear.
Afterward, she saw Kenny, drenched and startling her.
It made her widen her eyes.
She was moved and hurriedly caught up to him.
âUncle Kenny!â +15 BONUS Her scream made Kenny turn.
At the sight of Liora, he smirked mischievously.
âHey, Lia!â Instantly, Liora started crying profusely.
âUncle Kenny⦠Oh, Uncle Kenny⦠She ran to Kenny, but he pulled away when she extended her hands.
âLia, you canât,â Kenny stopped her with a low tone.
Liora stared at Kenny in confusionâhis face was full of water.
Liora sobbed and asked, âWhy canât I hug you?â Kenny squatted, and his gaze was level with Lioraâs.
âItâs because, uhm⦠Iâm gone.â âGoneâ¦â Liaraâs lips trembled.
âDoes it mean youâre dead?â Pain painted Kennyâs eyes.
âYeah, Iâve already left this world.â âNo, I donât believe itâ¦â Liora didnât stop crying as she tried to wipe away her tears.
âItâs not trueâ¦â Feeling sorry for her, Kenny sighed.
âStop crying, Lia.
You should go looking for your Uncle Neil now.â Twitching, Liora asked, âUncle Neil⦠Where is heâ¦â
Kenny shook his head.
âIâm sorry, but Iâm not sure either because the river pulled us apart.â Liora fixed her gaze on Kenny.
âUncle Kenny, can you guys not go⦠Mommy, Axel, Ty, and I are heartbroken.
Can you please stay?â Kennyâs eyes were red.
âGo and learn from Benjamin, Lia.
Iâm sure youâll be very powerful!â After that, he got to his feet.
âI should go now.â âGo?â Liora asked hurriedly, âWhere are you going?â âWellâ¦â Kenny lowered his gaze bitterly.
âTo the place I should go to.â He exhaled deeply afterward.
âBut I donât regret my prayers though the price was too great.â He was satisfied as long as Caroline was alive,
