Chapter 44 - ✧ 43 ✧

"By the way, Mister Shirong."

"Yes?"

"Do you know where Xiao Mei Zhi is now?"

"Those who took her did not tell me yet. But, of course, they will tell us soon about Xiao Mei Zhis situation and location."

Mister Shirong together with the kids and the people who guided them then go separate ways now with Bai Biao in the residence.

And at the moment, Xiao Mei Zhi stood up, she thought she was awake. While everyone's attention was on her unconscious body, no one was attending to the border on the room. She eased away from her corpse, and attempted to step on the floor. There was no feeling of coldness. She was senseless.

She then began to blend into a group of familiar faces that were seen in the Freis Residence. She was being noisy, however, no one seem to see her presence until they move the body.

Her stomach clenched at the sight of her souless body. It clenched because someone poked her abdomen with a sharp syringe. But why?

The odor that came from the room grew stronger. And Xiao Mei Zhi can smell it. .

She does not like outsiders touching her body. What she hated was the syringe, and what she craved to scream was the two various aspects. Without expecting, she got dizzy. Her soul was being held up back to her body like an attraction.

"We should tell Mister Shirong that Miss Zhi is now stable." A whisper coming from someone who helped Xiao Mei Zhi to survive her critical moment in time spoked.

While, Bai Biao who was currently sitting in the cozy visitor's area grab a book to read and it was about the forbidden romance of werewolves and humans. He who does not like courtship-related things put the book down. Then a reflection came into his intellect.

"Those Vampires. . they knew the orphanages location and attacked with repulsive expression while going for Doctor Freis people." Bai Biao use a low noise as he speaks out what was on his mind.

He caressed his shoulders against the back comfort from the chair, there was a slight excitement of blood lust vibrating in his veins. The foresight of eliminating those vampires rose up behind his eyes, almost blinding him with a passion to boil them.

The vampires that attacked the orphanage did trap few other children that know nothing, died in vain. And Bai Biao only has one option and that would be; to locate another hybrid hunters. It was all he could do to avenge those children, besides he would gladly ripped those vampires throats out for annihilating those innocent people.

Bai Biao needed a drink to cool himself down before he will break or punch somethings closer to him. He stepped away from the chair and made his way out from the guests room.

"Excuse me,"

Bai Biao stared at the female person, he concluded that she was part of that young wolf clique. "Yes?"

"Miss Zhi is now stable."

"Can you take me to where she is now?"

"Yes, of course. That is mainly why I am here. If I am not wrong, you are Mister Shirong?" Bai Biao got out a tiny sound of a chuckle but he prevented himself from being uncovered since he was lying, "Yes. I am Mister Shirong."

"I thought they said you look old."

"What is your name kid?"

"My name? I do not think I have one. However, they call me Qiji."

"A miracle," Bai Biao and Qiji paused in front of a open door.

"Here we are Mister Shirong. You may check on Miss Zhi so that you can tell Mister Frei about her current condition."

"Yes, I will tell him."

"Alright, thank you. I will go now." Qiji waves at Bai Biao and then left him alone with Xiao Mei Zhi. He did not even have a chance to say 'Thank you' back at Qiji.

Then he discovered that he missed to get the cold drink that he needed. Yet, he was the only one who was left behind to watch Xiao Mei Zhi. He glimpsed at her with care. . a kind of care that he thought he could ignore it. And the suspicion that he does not want to have nor notice; To like a woman that he can never be with.

What was his problem anyway? It was not like he already want Xiao Mei Zhi. Through out what happened to them today, it was enough for Bai Biao to avoid encountering emotions that could affect him.

And liking a opposite sex, was not part of his mission as a hunter.

"Mother. ." Xiao Mei Zhi called out. She was having a nightmare. Bai Biao who shakes her body to wake up, failed. He did get out of the room to look for help but the corridor was quiet. He was the only one who can help Xiao Mei Zhi.

So he tugged out a chair that was placed beside the closet, "You should try sharing the pain that you have been hiding," He gradually intertwined his right fingers with Xiao Mei Zhis stiff right fingers as he sat down. He does not like Xiao Mei Zhi at all. He only cared. Just care.

"Mo. . ther. . please, come back." Bai Biao who was struggling on how to help a woman who has nightmares just planted a kiss on the back of her palm. His seldom, moist lips felt Xiao Mei Zhis coldness. He only did not kissed it once, not even twice , and practically not thrice. He kissed the back of Xiao Mei Zhis right palm five times until he worriedly whispered, "I am here, do not be scared. I am here."

"I would not let go of your hands. Not until you wake up." Bai Biao added up a word of assurance even if Xiao Mei Zhi could not listen to it.

He then rested his head on the side of the bed. He was closer to Xiao Mei Zhis waist. Staring at his fingers interlacing with Xiao Mei Zhi carved a term to Bai Biao that he must not let his sentiments take over.

Or else, everything that the hunters plan will be ruined.

"I should have not done any of this."
