Chapter 145 - Bad Blood (1/2)
Bai Lei quickly catches me as Zhen runs over with worry. I try my best to fight the dizzy spell as I say ”Blood... his blood...” Bai Lei's red eyes flash with confusion and panic as he asks ”His blood? Who's blood love? What happened?” I lift my head to look at him but everything suddenly goes dark.
~~~~~~
”Nova!” Bai Lei yells as he pulls her limp body into his arms. Her body was so hot! She's burning up... Zhen runs over and touches her head saying ”She's running a fever.” Suddenly, a little white fluffy head pops out from Nova's hair and says ”Master was forced to drink that evil man's blood! You have to save Master!”
Bai Lei's body stiffens as the surrounding air drops several degrees. His hands instinctively tighten on Nova's soft body in a protective manner as Zhen looks to little Bun with fear while asking ”You said she was forced to drink someone's blood? Who's blood?”
Little bun quickly decides to jump onto the fox, because the other one was too scary, and quickly says ”The evil man was too strong! Master tried to fight him off but... but she couldn't. He forced her to drink his blood and now she's sick! She slept for two whole days! It's Bun's fault... I was too scared. It's all Bun's fault!”
Little Bun breaks down crying as his guilt eats away at him. Zhen quickly pets the little guy and says ”If Nova couldn't fight him off, how could anyone expect you to? Do you know who the evil man was?” Little Bun wipes his tears and does his best to remember before saying ”They called him King.”
BOOM!!
A powerful blast nearly knocks everyone over as Bai Lei's anger hits a breaking point. The bastard!! Luckily, Zhen knew just how on edge Bai Lei was so he was prepared. He quickly jumps out of the way and covers Little Bun. His head whips back around to check on Nova but he's relieved to see her completely safe.
”Calm yourself, Bai Lei. We need to check on Nova.” Zhen says cautiously walking over. Bai Lei clenches his teeth as he looks down at the beautiful woman in his arms. His heart shakes in fear as he nods in agreement. They quickly go back to his room and call for a physician.
Bai Lei carefully places Nova on the bed and gently pushes her silver hair off her face. Her cheeks were bright red as her breathing becomes more and more uneven. Her fine delicate eyebrows were drawn in together, showing her pain and discomfort, making his heart clench in pain.
He turns to look at Zhen who stands at the end on the bed with a dark look on his face. Little Bun sits on his shoulder with his little ears back in worry. Zhen looks to Bai Lei and shakes his head. He has no idea what's going on.
