I will Love You Forever - Chapter 111

His voice was cold and Ayla could hear the jealousy in his tone. “Mr Jarek, don’t be so jealous. I may as well just fly over to see the look on your face.”

“If that ever happens, I’ll lock you up and stay with you for a whole week as punishment.” he blurted out and laughter was heard from the other end.

“Whoosh… Goosebumps.” she played around and he couldn’t help but smile after hearing her.

“You should sleep early. Call me when you wake up,” he suggested even though he was hesitant to end the call.

“Um… Bye,” she responded.

“Goodnight.” he also responded but didn’t hang up.

“Goodnight,” she spoke again and still didn’t hang up.

“If we go on like this, I’ll end up keeping you awake till the cock crows,” he warned and she immediately said bye and hung up leaving him to smile at her funny mannerism.

As soon as I dropped the phone, I went straight to my computer. There was a piece of important information that the doctor had disclosed to me and I wanted to research it.

There was a mark on Kara’s neck which indicated that she was biting or stung by something.

Although I had never seen a mark like that before, I was sure that it belonged to the reptile family but how did that happen?

I had taken a picture with Qin’s phone and that was what I used to search. Immediately after inputting the photo, several pieces of information were displayed on the screen and most of them pointed out that it was a mark from an ancient mythology creature called a basilisk.

I squinted my eyes and wondered how I ended up with an ancient mythology creature from just a bite.

However, I read through the content. The basilisk was a creature that could kill by just glancing at a creature but they were not real. These were just myths and even if they existed, they would have been extinct a long time ago.

This didn’t make sense to me. How does a basilisk which was supposed to be extinct be in Kel’s house? Could it be that the mark wasn’t really from a basilisk?

I sighed and continued searching. Finally, I stumbled across a chat room where mysteries were discussed.

Although joining groups like these weren’t the best option, I was desperate.

I shared the picture on the group with Kara’s face cut out but I didn’t get a response immediately.

After a few minutes of waiting, I finally got one reply and the person typed the similar work, basilisk.

My brows furrowed. I replied to him and he asked me to chat with him privately. I wasn’t stupid and instantly hid my IP address and every other important information.

“The basilisk are creatures from long ago. Although many people believe them to be extinct, they still roam the earth in human form.” the man typed very fast and after three minutes, he deletes the message.

I guess he was trying to stay on the safe side by doing this and I couldn’t blame him.

“Human form? You mean things like those truly exist?” I asked to be sure that I wasn’t misunderstanding him.

“They aren’t humans. They just take up the form of humans and feed by inserting their sharp tongue into the veins of the host and depositing their venom there.” he was fast when typing all this and delete them after precisely three minutes.

“So how can the host survive this kind of thing?” I asked back even though I wasn’t buying the story.

“The host has to cut their wrist and that’s the only way I know of. It’s hard to find a cure for the venom. In fact, a cure doesn’t exist.” he replied and it was only then that I was able to relate to what happened to Kara.

She cut her wrist to save her life so that means, it wasn’t suicide nor was it accidental. She did it to save herself. But who could have done such a thing to Kara? This man clearly says that the person could be a human which I fund hard to believe.

I sighed tiredly. This case was worse than I had anticipated. From suicide to venomous marks to mythology creatures. Are you kidding me?

“Thank you. Can I keep in touch with you?” I asked but the man didn’t reply until a few minutes.

“No, never.” his response was unexpected and he soon vanished as though he was never there from the start.

I clicked a few keys on my keyboard but I couldn’t get in touch with him again. Weird.

I sighed and left my computer to think more about the incident. The only person in the house was Kel and the staff. Also, how did Kara and Kel become siblings?

There were so many questions on my mind and I didn’t know where to get the answers.

Urgh… It can’t be Kel. U know it can’t be her. She isn’t that type of person but at the same time, basilisk can take on human form. Can I trust her?

I couldn’t help but wonder who could be responsible. The more I thought about it, the more only one name came to my mind, “Kel.”

I didn’t want to doubt her but it was hard not to think about it considering that she was the only one at home when this happened.

“Maybe one of the staff? Yes, that must be it. Kel would never do something like this, I’m sure of it.” I murmured.

I downloaded a picture of the basilisk and the picture of Kara’s wrist and neck and was about to send it to Gerard with the caption, do you know what this is?

After a long thought, I figured it would be best not to get h involved. This would only make him worried.

I changed the name of the receiver to Madison and asked her to hide it from Gerard.

I took a bath and wanted to go to bed because I was exhausted but just as Gerard said, I was unable to sleep. “That man indeed put a spell on me didn’t he?” I sighed and closed my eyes tight.

The more I tried to sleep, the more I thought about something disturbing. This was not even related to Kara.

This was the picture of a beast attacking me in a bathroom. The scene was blurry but I could feel his grip over my neck.

I had seen this same thing this evening after returning from school and seeing the windows open.

Why do I keep seeing that creature? What is it and why is it hunting my dreams?

I stood up and paced the room hoping to find sleep but it was already 3 am and I still couldn’t sleep.

I didn’t know how exactly but I eventually fell asleep on my chair with my hands on the table supporting my head.

I didn’t know for how long I was asleep but all I know was I woke up with a terrible headache and my neck ached because of the position I slept in.

I walked out of my room and was greeted by Lucy who was taking some clothes for ironing.

“Sorry I worried you yesterday. I had to help a friend of mine.” I responded and she smiled calmly.

“It’s nothing. But I was really worried. Please tell me before you leave the house next time just so my mind can be at peace.” she requested and I nodded.

“Your food is ready. I’ll just take these clothes for ironing.” I nodded and went down.

I rubbed my temples and took some water. That was all I could take at this state. I had no appetite for food at all.

I walked to the cooker and smiled. ‘Oh, poor Lucy. She must have been worried or wasn’t she?’ my face revealed a mischievous smile when I remembered an incident in the Jarek mansion.

The pipe of the gas was removed and Lucy took so long to come back down. I remember seeing her peeking at me through a corner and although I pretended not to see her, I knew she was there.

I scoffed remembering the day I got kidnapped as well. Before I jumped out of the car, I took the phone of the gang leader and read through the messages.

I even called the number and heard a ladies voice which I recorded. “You need to hurry, Gerard is already on his way. Kill her if you must.” the girl didn’t even wait to hear the voice from the other end and just hung up.

“Too wise yet foolish.”

I called Lucy with my phone and recorded it then compared the voice and it was a match. She was so dumb to the point that she didn’t even use effects on the call with the kidnappers. Brilliant.

Just to be sure, I took the sample to an analyzer who confirmed that it was the same person.

Her two-faced character is just too impressive but her brain is as dead as her face.
