Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 120

Ethan at the time didn’t care about his surroundings, nor his own twin stone. He quickly ran to Mia’s side as soon as Jieun laid the girl down on the snowy ground. His mind only being occupied by her. Only her!

As soon as he was by the girl’s side, he continued to kneel down on the snowy ground and lifted the girl’s weak body so that it lay on his thighs. He held her tightly then, as if not wanting to let go.

Mia, who had closed her eyes before, opened her eyes again then. She feels a bit relieved seeing the man that she loves with all of her heart is there. Right beside her.

She is now looking at Ethan’s face that show her full of various feelings there. His face looks so broken, just like what she saw in the vision that Freya showed her. She knows, the time finally comes.

“Ethan…” Mia tried to talk, but was a little out of breath there. Her body really feels tired at the moment.

“I’m here. I’m right here with you.” Ethan said in his soft voice. Trying to cover up his grief.

“I think my time has come.”

“Don’t say that!” Tears finally come down to the man’s eyes. Hearing she said that really make him broken apart.

“You’ll be fine. You’ll be alright. We… Will figure something out. Jieun  probably can heal you.” Ethan said that but he actually didn’t feel confident. The scene is too similar to his nightmare and its make him feel so much afraid.

Mia, who is now also crying with him want to reach out to his face with her hand. She is trembling there. Ethan, use his hand and holding her hand up to where she wanted.

Softly with so much care and love, Mia strokes his face with her fingers, as if she wanted to memorize his face one last time.

She also wiped the man’s tears there. His tears for her. Make her realize how much he really cares. How much he loves her. But, the way they love is so different.

What was left is only regret. What was left is only the lingering feeling. Both of them kept telling this in their mind, ‘if only I know…’  Which is already too late.

“Remember always Ethan. That I love you so much in this life.”

“Don’t say it like that. Don’t say it like you want to leave me. You are not dying!” Ethan can’t face the reality yet.

Mia didn’t stop.

“If one day you meet someone else that you will fall in love again, please, love her without restriction.”

“I don’t want anyone else!” Ethan is getting angry now.

“Don’t be too hard on yourself. Promise me that you will be happy.”

With that, Ethan put his hand at the back of her head and pulled his face closer. He kisses her there with so much passion that he has never done it before. Making Mia also widens her eyes there, shocked by the sudden gesture. But as she feels longing for that, she also kiss him back with the same force.

After a few seconds, he stopped. Wanting for air. Both breathlessly there watching each other in tears.

“That’s the first.”

Ethan just looks at her.

“The first time you kiss me without me telling you to do it.”

“I will do it more if you continue to persevere. Please don’t give up yet.” Ethan pleaded.

At that moment, Jieun’s voice was heard approaching them.

Jieun that now also not so have much power there, scanning Mia inner organ one more time.

“Please tell me that she is going to be fine.” Ethan said to Jieun.

Jieun hasn’t said anything but her face is full with worries and her eyes seem to cannot stay in place.

“Let’s take her to the palace first. They must have a reliable physician.” She said there as she didn’t know what to do either.

They then at a fast pace bring Mia back to the crystal castle. Once there, Mia was immediately taken to the treatment room and began to be attended by the palace physician.

While the others wait for the result, Eun-Woo faces both of the king and queen to tell them what happened. Avoiding about the stone of course. He need to keep that as secret for now.

Hearing about the mysterious group making King Arthur feel uncomfortable. Such an organization has never appeared before, why now?

“So Mia is being stabbed with something while trying to save Jieun from being kidnapped?” King Liam asks.

Eun-Woo nodded, confirming.

“Its seems like he’s using some forbidden power. It’s like black magic, but a different type of that. Jieun manage to kill him but I believe there’s more of them outside. We got two hostages now for interrogation.”

The anxious Queen Anna there began to feel uncomfortable to keep sitting down. She wanted to see her daughter -in -law immediately.

Queen Lucy tries to persuade Queen Anna there. Know what’s on the woman’s mind.

“If that’s so, we should postpone the wedding ceremony first to catch this group first. Or, we might be in danger.” Princes James who also there voiced his opinion. Even if he is waiting for the wedding the most, but he cannot risk his family and guests who will be present later.

“I’m very sorry for the inconvenience.” Eun-Woo said there. He also cannot deny that the move to postpone the wedding might ne the best for now as they face a rather dangerous group there. Who knows if they try to do something during the ceremony?

King Liam didn’t say anything there, but feel a bit furious about the group that suddenly appear and try to mess with the royal.

“Arthur, how about we call that person from Elysium Land. she might know something about the forbidden power.” Queen Lucy gave a recommendation there.

Although Winter Region is an area under Dream Land, means under that King Liam, but as King Arthur is the one responsible for that land he keeps a good relationship with the Elysium Land people even if King Liam cut off ties with them.

“That’s probably a good idea. James, please contact Adele from the Elysium Land to help.” King Arthur began to give instructions.

Hearing the name that Anna knows very well there, she feels a bit nervous and thrilled at the same time. Finally, they will get to meet after so many years.

:: Treatment Room::

“I’m very sorry Princess Jieun, there’s nothing that I can do. I also never encounter the sickness like this for the entire of my life.” The physician told Jieun who is there to assist her at the time. While the others waits outside.

Listening to that, Jieun broke into tears once again. The physician excuses herself now. Feeling a little guilty for not being able to help much.

Jieun rub her face multiple times to stop her tears and with utmost  determination, she tries once again to use her power.

She looks again inside Mia’s inner organ and tries to find something to heal, but it seems like her organ was eaten by something from the inside. Her lungs also looked like they were starting to hollow out little by little.

“What the heck is this?!” She almost curses.

With the healing light in her hands, she tries again and again to save Mia but none of her moves bear fruit. Her frustration, make her tears fall down again.

Mia, look at the Jieun exhausted shape, now hold her hand.

Jieun watching her now that try hard to smile even in pain.

“It’s all my fault.” Jieun started saying with sobbing.

Mia shook her head there.

“Don’t make me mad by saying those Jieun. I’m too tired to get angry now.” Mia said there.

Jieun just keep crying.

“Hey, Jieun. Can I ask you for a favor?” Mia asks her.

“What favor?”

Mia in trembling give her a pouch that she always keep with her these days.

“If I die, please open this and give it to my father. He is one head strong man. He probably makes some chaos in the palace later on. So, please give this to him.”

Jieun still take that while crying. This can’t be happening. Mia can’t die!

“One more, can you do something else for me?”

Jieun nodded. This time Mia whispers to her ears. After she hear the request Jieun in fast nodded in agree there.

“Can you call him in?”

Jieun then got out of there and called Ethan.

Quickly Ethan entered the room. Then he holding Mia’s hand tightly.

“Why do you look like that? I want to see you smiling at me like usual.” Mia teases him there.

Ethan just stares at her. He does a lot of thinking while waiting outside. How he regrets not spending time with Mia when they still have a lot of time before. How many people try to make him realize that, but he didn’t want to listen. How foolish of him this all time. But is that true this is the final? Is it too late to apologize?

“I’m so sorry for everything. I’m so sorry. So sorry. Sorry.” He really felt like he shouldn’t be forgiven.

Mia knows it even if he didn’t say that, but she refuses to feel sad, even though this may be the last time.  No, because this is might be the last time.

“If you really are sorry. Will you do something for me? For the last time?”

Ethan didn’t like the word that she said, but he didn’t want to argue. This time he will do whatever she wanted him to do.

“What is it?” Ethan wanted to know what’s on her mind.

“Let’s go on a date.. The two of us.”
