Reed took a deep breath as he looked at Alex and Emy, both fast asleep. Only then will he talk to the mages about testing Alex's blood. He couldn't provide Eldron or Devin with everything they needed.
Reed walked up to Alex, grabbed his leg, and then used a needle to stab him. The blood came out, and Reed got it before he could cry.
Alex's crying woke Emy up, and she saw Reed carrying Alex in his arms. He is no longer crying and is enjoying his father's hug.
"What happened?" Emy questioned Reed. "Why did he cry?"
"Sleep, my queen. I'll look after Alex." Ree said.
"I can no longer sleep. Alex, come see Mom. I'll take care of you." Emy said.
"Okay." Emy got Alex from Reed. Alex was glad that Emy was able to hold him.
"I need to leave, my queen," Reed said.
"Huh? Where do you want to go?"
"Let me take care of something quickly," Reed said. Reed was sitting beside Emy. "Don't worry. I'm doing this for Alex's safety."
