The smell of the drugs was the start of Caroline awakening, her beads continuing to flicker as she felt a bright light entering her retina. Looks like she in the hospital now, although I don't know who took him but Caroline can see Luis lying on the bed next to her.
Looks like they were both pretty badly injured, so who took them? Is it her mother?
"Caroline..."
The soft voice that greeted her ears made Caroline turn around. Looking at his mother who was slowly walking towards him, her hand was gripped tightly. It seemed that Caroline had just realized that her mother was worried about her.
It was clearly visible in her bright yellow beads that were shaking with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Mom.."
And she also just realized that all this time she had never called his mother so gently and comfortably. Will everything change now, or is this the beginning of the destruction that exists?
"I'm sorry dear mom, I shouldn't have ignored you. I should have tried to convince your dad more but I'm too weak to do that, sorry."
Caroline heart ached, she had just heard a truth and an apology from her mother. The mother who he thought only cared about the job was now worried about him even to the point of apologizing to him.
Does Caroline look so evil now? Has she became a rebellious child now?
"No mom, I'm fine. You're not wrong, everything is destiny that I have to live with. Do you know that behind the pain there will always be happiness, I believe in that. So please don't apologize"
Caroline didn't know how to express herself, but she just wanted to lighten her mother burden. The burden of a mistake her mother made accidentally. All of this happened because the fate that went unnoticed brought them a disaster.
And Caroline realized that this was just a hope that she wasn't sure about at all. But he didn't want to make his mother worry even more, just this time he wanted to act like a good guy.
"I will be happy someday, and mom must also promise me to be happy"
Caroline could see a guilty look from her mother. But Caroline smiled ignoring the look on her mother face. She lifted his little finger with a big smile looking at his mother who also smiled. Their little fingers joined together to form a promise to make each other happy.
'This time I will also try to be happy'
"Mom, how Luis doing?"
"He fine and maybe Luis will wake up early enough"
Just as his mother answered, Luis moaning voice made both of them turn their heads up. Luis opened his eyes looking at Caroline who smiled at him "Caroline"
Luis was shocked but he sat up quickly, even his body was in pain just to sit.
"You don't act recklessly" Caroline warned Luis but instead he chuckled at Luis who looked in pain.
Is that funny? Even though Luis felt like his body was about to crumble when he made a small move.
"You guys are just like siblings," said Caroline mother seeing Caroline interaction with Luis.
"Ah.. auntie, are you okay?" Luis asked to remember what happened in the forest earlier.
"The most important thing is you, you have to get well soon okay"
Caroline understands, she clearly knows that there is something her mother and Luis are hiding. She doesn't remember clearly what happened earlier, she remembers that he was running when Luis was about to be killed by his father and then she was injured. And after that she argued with his father until she finally passed out.
And after that she didn't know anything, and she was sure there was something Luis and his mother did at that time "what happened after I passed out?"
Caroline doesn't like it when she doesn't know anything, so she will always find out from other people. It was clear that Luis and his mother face had turned panicked as to whether the question was wrong. Even though he only asked about the incident earlier, why do they seem to cover up something that he should know.
"Say now!!"
And Caroline is not a patient person, in fact she often yells at Luis like what happened in her room yesterday.
"We're going to the hostel"
Luis answer left Caroline speechless, her face was flat but a disgruntled laugh was heard after that. There was no expression, only a mocking laugh at his unlucky fate. She just promised his mother that he would be happy.
But what was this, she was like being turned back to the fact that it would never happen. And what he remembered was his father words saying that the place would become a prison for him. For him who was abandoned by his family and because of his disability.
Caroline stopped laughing and immediately took off the blanket, she got out of bed and was about to leave. But her mother hand made her stop, her mother looked at her pleadingly. Wait! Did she not see wrongly, that pleading look to tell him to obey turned out to be.
Seems like she being toyed with by his mother in a soft and warm voice, she better go and forget about his original purpose. Everything her mother did was just a pretense to get her to agree to her father wishes.
"I'm not going there!!"
Caroline screamed with a hand that jerked her mother hand. She walked towards the door before Luis blocked him. Why has Luis also changed his mind now, even though he was the one who asked to run away with him this morning. But why is now Luis following the wishes of his father and mother.
Has Luis forgotten that she was hurt now? Where is Luis who is more concerned with himself than anyone else. What Luis she knew was dead and was replaced by Luis, the puppet of the Edgar family.
"Trust me, it will be fine this time. If we run away uncle will not stop looking for us, Lin trust me I will take care of you there. We will be together and take care of each other, won't you believe me?"
Luis knows he selfish that he isn't just hiding behind his fears again, but he knows very well that he won't be able to keep Caroline from his uncle. And all he could do was comply with his uncle wishes now. If only he was stronger Luis would have taken Caroline away instead of going there.
But he is a young Alpha who is still not very good at fighting, and Luis realizes that he will only become a burden to Caroline if he indulges his ego.
"Believe? Are you crazy?"
"This is for your own good" Luis said with a sad expression on his face.
"Kindness? Are you dreaming, isn't this a misfortune"
