Chapter 66: The one who loves and the one who misses
After a long time of trudging from street corner to street, Samson finally reached the alley leading to Aurora’s house.
After ringing the bell twice, he leaned his back against the pillar, looking up at the night sky, where the white snow rain was falling.
There was a soft sound of footsteps and soon, Aurora appeared. As soon as she saw Samson, she immediately opened the gate.
The appearance of the man in front of her was enough for her to know what he had been through.
She didn’t need to ask, grabbed his hand, pulled him inside, and locked the gate carefully.
On the way here, he tried hard even though he was very tired, but when he saw Aurora, he knew he didn’t need to try anymore, leaned on her and let her help him into the house.
– Please sit down here.
She helped him sit on the sofa and quickly ran away. A moment later, she returned with two glasses of blood in her hands.
Samson tremblingly took them and drank them all. If he hadn’t been able to control himself and drink to satisfy his craving just now, Lucasta would probably have lost her life.
He was worried because he didn’t know if anything was wrong with her. The feeling of wanting to protect someone but being helpless makes him hate himself.
Aurora carefully treated the burns caused by the garlic juice on Samson’s body.
From the day he brought Lucasta to the city, she had a bad feeling but could not force him to return to the deep forest because after all, he was her master, she could only obey his words.
– Don’t cry Aurora, I’ll be fine. Samson tried to smile to reassure her.
– Why don’t you love yourself? What have you been through? She asked while crying.
He didn’t want to hide anything from her, so he told everything clearly. However, he did not say that Lucasta was the one who gave William the plan to trap him but only said how she took the risk to save him.
He was never angry with her, he just felt sad but not angry with her.
– Will Lucasta be safe if she is discovered by him? Perhaps the purpose when he brought her home and cherished her was to trap you. But now that things have turned out like this, is she safe?
Samson said nothing, just remained silent, and closed his eyes. He was also confused and could only pray for his little girl to be safe.
He believed that William would not harm her for the time being. Perhaps that old man would keep her as a shield in case he came back to take revenge. A petty, cunning person like William will certainly do the same.
After covering Samson with a blanket, Aurora immediately took the phone to call Harvey, informing him that Samson was still safe.
– That guy’s appearance now is three parts human, seven parts vampire, right? Harvey’s voice rang out on the phone, clearly showing anger.
– Harvey…
– Okay, I’ll come tomorrow.
Before Aurora could finish her sentence, Harvey interrupted her and then hung up. He’s afraid he’ll say things that will upset her because he’s in a very bad mood right now.
Aurora sighed, put the phone away, and checked the doors, then took down the blanket and pillow, sleeping right next to the sofa to watch over Samson.
She was afraid he would suddenly have a fever because the wounds on his body showed signs of infection.
When vampires become exhausted, their bodies are no different from humans. They will not die but must endure pain, fatigue, and a long time to recover.
In the quiet space, only the steady breathing of the two of them could be heard, and occasionally there was Samson’s groan of pain every time he moved.
The night passed quickly and when the alarm bell from the phone rang, pulling Aurora out of her sleep, the shiny, luxurious car of the noble vampire stopped right in front of her gate.
As soon as the gate opened, Harvey didn’t say a word but just walked in, approaching his stubborn, stiff-necked friend.
He originally intended to yell at Samson to release the anger and anxiety that had accumulated over the past two days, but when he saw that pathetic appearance, he couldn’t bear to raise his voice.
– Why were you captured so easily by them? Harvey sat down next to Samson and asked.
– I heard that Lucasta was sick so I went to visit her and…
– That girl still has a bit of conscience.
– You know? Samson asked Harvey but looked at Aurora.
– Who is that guy? He’s Thomas. Can you escape without someone’s help? It’s pathetic. You caused the value of noble vampires to decrease when captured by humans.
Samson smiled and nodded. How could he forget that Harvey is very smart? Unlike someone who lurks in the jungle like him, Harvey’s head thinks extremely quickly, judging situations extremely accurately.
– Let’s have breakfast. Aurora spoke up after a long time of being a light bulb illuminating the two guys’ conversation.
– I’ve eaten. Harvey replied.
She shrugged and went inside to get blood for Samson to drink. Since the day the hunters raided her house to catch vampires, Harvey stopped coming here and only talked to her over the phone.
He doesn’t use social networks and only makes voice calls, so she can’t see his face. Today he came, making her nostalgia lessen a bit.
– Samson, please go back to the forest. Forget everything and ignore everything. If you don’t even love yourself and can’t protect yourself, don’t try to protect anyone.
– Okay, when it’s dark, take me to the edge of the forest. I can’t travel such a long distance at the moment.
– Ah… okay.
Samson’s answer surprised Harvey a bit. He thought this guy would jump up, say moral things, then refuse, determined to stay here.
Perhaps when someone is exhausted and hurt too much, they will easily let go of everything, including the person they love so much.
Aurora also heard everything in time. She put the glass of blood down in front of Samson and secretly looked at the expression on his face.
Is Samson really going to let go of Lucasta? She thought that vampires were very loyal, despite everything for love, but it seems that’s not true, right?
Perhaps Samson is not so lovesick as Vincent. That’s good. But what about Lucasta? That girl is like a little rabbit living near the mouth of a tiger named William.
At the same time, in the VIP room of the hospital, Lucasta also woke up from a nightmare.
What caught her eye was William’s face. For some reason, at this close distance, she found him terrifying, like a demon with human skin.
Perhaps Samson’s words haunted her.
– How do you feel in your body? William asked gently.
– My head is a bit dizzy. She raised her hand to rub her forehead and replied.
– You lost quite a bit of blood. But it’s okay, we’ll feed you slowly and you’ll get better soon. Now tell me what happened?
Lucasta tried to keep her expression as natural as possible and made up a quite logical story.
She said that when the housekeeper turned her back, a man appeared from the window. He knocked her out and then knocked out Natasha.
– I was so scared, I wanted to rush over to hold him back and shout, but before I could scream, he bit my hand. I was in so much pain that I didn’t know anything after that.
William tried to find any strange expression from her innocent face but he saw nothing.
His work was interrupted by a phone call from the housekeeper.
The villa had more than ten bodyguards guarding it, but it was easy for a stranger to break in, so he guessed that person was not human.
He suspects that the president of Star Corporation is the one who freed the vampire named Samson.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
He did not know why the camera system throughout the villa at that time had interference and could not capture any images.
– Do you remember that person’s face? He stared at her and asked.
– No, he wore a mask. Lucasta quickly replied.
By 2:00 p. m., Lucasta’s discharge procedures were completed.
William had gone to the Institute of Medical Sciences, so she was escorted home by two bodyguards and Natasha.
– Did the boss ask you anything? I had forgotten that the villa had cameras but luckily they didn’t capture any images because of signal interference. Natasha spoke up as soon as she entered the room.
– I just told him what we discussed.
Lucasta also forgot that this villa was full of cameras. Luckily they had problems. Perhaps it’s because it’s too cold?
If her uncle found out that she was the one who rescued Samson, he would be very angry.
Looking at the figure of the blonde girl standing alone by the window, Natasha suddenly felt pity. She wondered whether she should reveal what she knew to this poor girl or not.
Natasha is just an assistant to the housekeeper. There are things that are just secrets between the housekeeper and William, Natasha is not allowed to know, she only works according to their orders.
However, she accidentally overheard a very cruel story.
The glass of milk that the housekeeper prepared for Lucasta that morning contained medicine.
Not an ordinary sleeping pill, it also has the effect of corroding her nervous system over the years.
William ordered that every night, Lucasta’s food would include an extra glass of milk but a smaller amount of medicine than the first time because he was worried that if she continued to sleep late, she would become suspicious and ask for a medical examination.
Thinking for a long time, Natasha decided to tell Lucasta what she had heard. The remaining bit of conscience urged her to do this.
– For what purpose did my uncle do that? Lucasta asked in panic.
– I don’t know, that’s all I heard. I feel so pitiful and don’t want anything to happen to you, so I say this to you. Please don’t ask your uncle. He will kill me. I will be the first suspect. Natasha earnestly requested.
– Don’t worry. I won’t ask. You just keep doing your work. Let’s just pretend that what just happened never happened.
Natasha nodded repeatedly and quickly left.
When Lucasta was alone, a feeling of emptiness and coldness surrounded her. Her arms and legs suddenly began to tremble. Even though she tried to control it, they still trembled.
Could it be that what Samson said was true? Natasha has no reason to lie to her, right?
That’s right, that morning when she finished drinking a glass of milk, she lost all consciousness.
It was because of the milk and she didn’t have a fever like her uncle said.
Did he spread the news that she was seriously ill to lure Samson into a trap?
But why did he want to capture Samson?
– Samson, where are you? I… I miss you so much. I wanna go with you.
Lucasta burst into tears. She regretted it, she should have followed him. She shouldn’t have been afraid of him.
Samson is a vampire, so what does it matter? He has never done anything to harm her. He always risked his life to protect her.
– I was wrong. What should I do now? Brother…
