During the day, Irina and Camille went out. As aforentioned, I had no clue where they went off to or what they did. However, they had shown that they trusted by leaving their house to , not to ntion allowing to move about as I pleased.
I went up to the second floor again, where Camille and Irina lived. It was also where Dragon Mom was held captive. I knew where the keys were. Irina didnt have her guard up against , either. The keys were exactly where they were last ti. I opened the door and went in to sit next to Dragon Mom.
Mom was in the sa shape as a few days ago. She was still sleeping in peace without budging. There was no look of pain on her face, so it didnt hurt my heart as it did before. I was just very worried.
I gently grab hold of Moms hand. Her hand was very soft and warm. I looked at her face and gently sighed. In a quiet voice, I muttered, Mom, when will you be able to wake up? I really dont know what to do We never expected this to happen What do I have to do to help you wake up now? I never thought the dragons would target you instead of . I thought that I possessed imnse power, but Im still so powerless before a true dragon Mom, Mom, tell , what do I do?
My speech turned to whimpers. I felt that what I did was too much. I didnt think about my mom. I, instead, started to get clingy to Irina.
I silently cursed and questioned myself: What on Earth am I doing? I should be taking Mom away from here right now. I should be helping her recover and then taking her away from here. Just what in the world am I doing? Why have I beco muddle-headed over Irina? What happened to my original thoughts and determination? When did they vanish? What in the world am I thinking? What am I doing? Why has Irina rendered unsettled?
I tightened my grip on Moms hand and declared, Mom Ill take you ho. Ill definitely take you ho. I promise.
I suddenly felt my hand warm up. Mom seed to respond and squeezed my hand. I was trying to reinforce my resolve, but the feeling felt akin to thunderclap on a clear day. I never expected Mom to respond to .
Isnt Mom still sleeping?! I wondered, surprised.
I held my breath and looked at Moms hand. I didnt see anything out of the ordinary, though. Her hand was still in mine. I didnt dare to do so much as breathe, as I was afraid that Id miss any minor details hinting that she woke up. Unfortunately, Mom just lied there in silence. Her expression didnt change, and not even her hair budged.
The warm sensation that I felt in my hands was definitely not an illusion. I clearly felt the warm sensation transferred to my palm. I could feel a warm sensation and strength from Mom. She wasnt as strong, and it was a gentle warmth, but I could feel her warmth, nonetheless.
Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom! Have you woken up?! Mom!
I jumped to my feet, thereby knocking over my stool as I stood up. I leaned in over to Mom and emotionally shouted as loud as I could, but she didnt budge. She remained there in silence.
Mom, listen to !! Mom! Can you hear ?! I know that you can hear ! Im sure you can hear ! I felt it! I felt it! You should be awake, right?! If youve woken up, please open our eyes and look at ! Please say sothing to ! Please let feel reassured!
Shout as I may, caress her hand and face as I may, Mom didnt respond. It was as if that warm sensation I felt in that mont was my imagination.
I thought, Has Mom not co to? Was everything just my imagination? I dont think so. Im not convinced. I could distinctly feel that warmth. It was very, very distinct. It felt the exact sa as when we held hands in the past. I didnt mistake it. That wasnt my imagination. That was real. I truly felt Moms warmth.
Mom definitely responded. The thing was I didnt know why Mom didnt respond any further. Perhaps she could feel sothing, which ans that she couldnt subconsciously express herself properly yet. I thought that suggested the effects of the drug I was uninford of were gradually wearing off. Put another way, Dragon Mom would gradually recover even if I dont do anything with Irina. I guess that ant dragons unique instinct to sleep wasnt for nothing. Mom was slowly recovering during her sleep.
That explained Camille rushed to switch to another thod. Dragon Mom would eventually recover at that rate. Once Mom wakes up, her fury as a pure-blooded dragon will be more than they could handle. If the deal was sealed before her awakening aning Irina was pregnant with my child even Mom would have to consider foregoing her anger out of consideration of the child, having said that.
I began to contemplate what I should do: What course of action shall I take, then? If Mom has begun to recover, then therell be a point where she fully recovers. Do I need to stall for now? No, that wont work. Theyre all dragons; Camille knows Mom will eventually recover. She, in fact, might already be planning sothing. Shes an excellent pharmacist. I dont know what sorts of weird drugs shes co up with. Shes able to create all sorts of drugs to realise her wish. If there are more strange drugs, its going to be even tougher to deal with. Who knows if that bitch will co up with sothing even more dangerous? As Ive confird that Mom will be safe and can recover without Camille, I need to hurry up and get out of here. Irina and Camille have yet to do anything to , so now is the best chance!
I released Moms hand and then took two steps back. I kept my eyes on Dragon Mom the entire ti. I looked at the peaceful expression she wore while sleeping silently. I breathed in deep then said, Im glad to know that you are all right. Since you have regained conscious, I will take you out of here. Trust . Trust on it. Ill definitely take you out of here! Well definitely get to go ho!
Right when I left the room, I suddenly heard the crisp sound of knocks on a door. After a short pause to carefully listen in, I confird that I didnt mishear it. It was the sound of sobody knocking on a door, and it ca from the main door.
I reasoned, Since this is Camille and Irinas ho, not the palace or my house, I guess its safe to assu that the visitor wants to see Camille or Irina. I dont think I should open the door then. Those living within this vicinity are all dragons. Im in the dragons den. Its probably dangerous for to allow a dragon in without Camille or Irina being around.
What if Camille or Irina is locked outside, though? I dont know what those two are doing outside, while I cant detect the passing of ti in the cave. The only indicator that its dayti is when Camille and Irina leave. Could it already be ti for them to return? Theyve never locked themselves outside before, however.
The knocking didnt stop. Whoever it was, continued to knock and they were very patient. In spite of nobody responding, they continued to stop every three knocks in an orderly manner. They showed no intent of stopping. The continuous knocking was pollution for the mind. I covered my ears, but I could continue hearing it as if it was knocking on my head.
I ran downstairs to the door. Unfortunately, the door didnt have a window on the door to see who was outside. It was just an ordinary wooden door. Furthermore, it was so thick that not a shred of light could shine through.
Whoever was outside had so ntal issues. Nobody responded. Normally, youd leave if nobody responded, yet whoever it was, kept on knocking. I genuinely reckoned they wouldve continued knocking until night ti if they werent Irina or Camille
I hesitated for a mont. I wondered if I should ask who it was but realised that if I asked, then Id have to open the door. If the individual outside was a dragon and heard my voice, theyd definitely ask to open up; otherwise, theyd continue knock on the door until I died. But nevertheless, if I allowed them to continue knocking, Id have a ntal breakdown. They just wouldnt stop. Plus, the cave was silent, so the knocking was akin to having my ears hamred.
I took in a deep breath. I didnt think it was probable for them to kidnap from their leaders ho even if they wanted to harm . Plus, if that was their plan, they could just break through. There was no need to knock.
I pulled the heavy timber door open.
