88 DO YOU WANT TO HEAR A STORY?
Archie was waiting for Lise to wake up with a docunt in his hand. He leaned his body against the wall, staring at the first rays of the sun gradually illuminating the dark sky.
He looked deep in his own thoughts when he sensed a slight movent on the bed, as Lise woke up and stared at him with her sleepy and tired eyes.
“Mr. Williams...” Lise greeted Archie in confusion. She blinked her eyes and rubbed her face to get rid of her sleepiness.
“Good morning Lise,” he greeted her.
Lise looked at her side and couldn’t find Sol. That man must be sowhere else, taking care of his own business, since he wouldn’t leave her in the evening until very late at night.
“I still rember you when you were a little child, playing with Sol.” Archie took a step forward and stood right beside Lise’s bed, as he stared at her IV drip.
On the other hand, Lise was not sure where this conversation would lead them. It felt strange to talk about the past with Sol’s father, because as long as she rembered, Lise barely t him.
“I know Sol likes you even before he realized his feelings for you.” Archie finally ca to this point which only made Lise even more confused. “He took after his mother a lot, especially her character.”
“I don’t understand what you want to say, Mr. Williams.” Finally Lise questioned his intentions, since she felt uncomfortable with him being there.
.....
“I don’t have any grudge against you, Lise. I think of you as my own child, but I need Sol to be more mature in this situation and for that, he needs a little push.” Archie then laid the docunts that he had been holding in front of Lise. “I know you are pregnant and I don’t need to guess who the father is, am I right?”
Lise couldn’t see clearly what kind of docunt that Archie was showing her, as she was too weak to focus on that.
However, what he said right now was the only thing that she should focus on.
He knew that she was pregnant... He knew that she was pregnant with Gael’s child. Sol had told her to keep her pregnancy a secret, as he would get her out of his house as soon as possible.
Sol needed so ti to prepare everything because he didn’t need people from the organization to co after him, yet, Archie found another way to know about this pregnancy.
“This baby is that dirty creature’s child, right?” Archie shifted his attention to Lise’s flat stomach, as a disgusting look crossed his eyes. “The baby belongs to that man, right? There is no way that it is Sol’s...”
Lise didn’t answer that, she bit her lips, but her silence answered everything.
“I don’t believe that my own son has been hiding this truth from us...” Archie let out a dry laugh that sounded like a bark.
“What do you want to do with ?” Lise asked, her voice trembling. She wouldn’t mind if he wanted to get rid of the baby, but there was no guarantee that she would survive in the process.
“Before I tell you what I want, will you answer a question of mine?” Archie tilted his head. “If you have to choose between Sol and that baby’s father, who will you choose?”
It was an easy question, Lise would answer that without even a second thought, but there was so part of her, a tiny part, that told her that whatever her answer was, it wouldn’t change Archie’s plan.
“Why does it matter?” Lise asked him instead.
“Or, maybe should I change the question? Do you want to kill the baby’s father? Because I have a great idea in my head to do so.”
However, before Lise could reply to his second question, Archie had pulled a syringe out of his pocket and injected a strange liquid into her IV drip.
“What are you doing?” Lise widened her eyes, and tried to pull the IV needle out of her arm, but Archie held her down.
It was easy to do it, because Lise had no strength left in her.
“Why are you doing this to ?” her voice was barely a whisper, as she felt her consciousness slip away and her heart rate beca even and the last thing that she could hear was a mumbling voice from the doorway.
It was Jasmine, who ca to check on them.
“Why don’t you kill her right away?” Jasmine asked her father, and folded her arms in front of her chest, tilting her head to take a look at Lise’s sleeping face. “We will save the trouble.”
“She is more useful when she is alive.” The creature would be more interested if he heard his wife and child survived. “Have you checked everything?”
Jasmine raised her thumbs. “Don’t worry.”
“Go to your brother and inform him.”
Jasmine scoffed when she heard the words ‘your brother’, it had been a long ti since she stopped thinking of him as her brother.

“Anne, where do you think Chaos has disappeared?” Blue ca to Anne’s room one night because she couldn’t sleep well.
“I don’t know my little child,” she replied, patting at her bedside for her to sleep. “He will co when it is ti.”
“He is taking so long...” It had been two months since the disaster happened and Chaos had never once appeared. Blue was worried about him, especially when Knox didn’t want to tell her about what had happened to him during the ti she was dead.
Knox just said that Chaos had done sothing outrageous and he needed ti to recover. And when Blue asked for how long, Knox simply said;
‘It could be a year, two or even a decade or two, no one knows.’
Blue almost bit his hand off.
“Do you want to hear a story?” Anne asked, she always wanted a child of her own, but she was not able to have one.
