I will Love You Forever - Chapter 147

Kara was worried that she would hurt herself if she continued to scrub her body like that. She crouched to her level and hugged her carefully. Kel’s clothes were soaked with water and the whole washed room was filled was the water as well.

Kel was breathing heavily but Kara still held onto her tightly and didn’t let go. She comforted her until she fell asleep.

With much difficulty, she was able to bring Kel to the car and the driver drove them straight home and Qin was already waiting there.

As Kel laid on her bed, Qin examined her closely. After he finished his diagnosis, he walked out of her room and spoke to Mr Johnathan. Kara was also there, anxious to hear what he came up with.

“She is fine. Based on my diagnosis, everything seems okay with her but I suggest you take her to the hospital for further treatment and observation.” Qin knew exactly what was going on but could mention it in front of Kara.

She had just recovered from the trauma of leaving as the basilisk’s hostage. It would seat well if he said anything that would bother her for now.

“Alright Mr Qin, I’ll see you off,” Johnathan suggested and Qin turned to Kara and gently spoke to her. “Ms Kara, would you please stay with your sister for a while. When she wakes up, it would be good if she saw someone by her side.”

Kara nodded. He didn’t even need to ask her to stay with Kel, she was more than willing to do that.

When Johnathan and Qin went out of the mansion, Qin stopped in his steps and looked at Johnathan seriously.

“What type of demon is she?” he had a serious expression on his face as this wasn’t about business anymore but about the balance between different creatures.

Johnathan said nothing. Revealing that aspect of Kel’s life to Qin wasn’t the best option for him because he feared that his daughter would be taken away.

“You either tell me now or watch as she gets worse.” although win knew that Kel had the blood of a basilisk running through her veins, he couldn’t quite understand why she operated differently from the other basilisk.

“She isn’t just a basilisk but also has the blood of a harpy.” Johnathan didn’t want this to result in something else so he told Qin the shallow truth.

Qin’s brow furrowed. How was it even possible that she was a harpy when this was a union between a man and a woman.

A harpy was always a woman and if Kel’s mother was a basilisk then what Johnathan was saying didn’t make any sense.

“Are you saying she has the blood of a harpy as well as that of a basilisk?” he asked to be sure that that was what he meant and he got a nod from Johnathan.

Qin was sceptical about the answer he got but knew demons to be very secretive and protective of their children so he didn’t press further.

“As soon as she wakes up, bring her to the hospital and the sooner you get a therapist, the better for everyone,” Qin suggested and Johnathan nodded in agreement.

Qin got into his car and drove off. As Johnathan watched his car leave, his eyes turned dark. Rather than taking his daughter to the hospital, he thought of something else, running away.

He rushed back in and began to pack all the clothes he could find. He rushed to Kel’s room as well surprising Kara.

“Pack anything you can carry. We have to leave.” he was nervous and Kara could see it in his eyes.

“Why father? Where are we going? And why do you look frightened? Are we running away?” she asked so many questions at once but Johnathan could not find anything suitable to say.

He knew that she was worried because of his sudden request to leave town but he didn’t have any other option other than to do this. If any Qin cracks the code early, Kel would be in danger.

Johnathan held his daughter by her shoulder and finally came up with something tangible. “I want to flight Kel to Singapore for medical treatment and I thought you would want to go as well but since you have just begun your exams, you can stay back for a while.”

Kara got worried. She wanted to

follow her father but at the same time, she was sceptical about travelling out. It was all of a sudden and she had her doubt about the whole thing.

She nodded and didn’t reveal any sketchy expression. As soon as her father walked out of the room, she paced for a while before picking up her phone to make a quick call to Ayla.

The phone rang for a while before it finally went through. “Hello?” Ayla’s voice was heard from the other end but Kara hesitated before talking.

“It’s me, kara.” because they had not spoken for a while, Kara found it hard to speak to her about this mess.

“Oh, Kara… How are you now? I was looking for Kel after our exams but she was nowhere in sight. Did you maybe see her?” Ayla asked while sorting some papers at work.

There was silence on the phone and Ayla began to have a weird feeling. “Did something happen to her?” she asked and Kara finally let the cat out of the bag.

“Doris street.” was her short response but it was too sudden for Ayla who was still at work.

Ayla blinked twice. She was still stuck at work with an hour left to leave and she was in a tight spot at this moment that she couldn’t even make an excuse.

The lines disconnected and she pursed her lips worried. If Kara had called with that detail, it means she was in dire need of help.

They always had a code for talking when they were young so that others would not understand what they were saying.

Just as she was thinking about what to do, her gaze fell on Zee who was working on something. This was the only person she could ask for help.

She hurried over to her and when Zee saw her, she had a wide smile on her face. “What brings you here?” she asked and Ayla responded.

“I have a quick errand to run so would you please help me tell secretary Lisa that I wouldn’t be long if she asks of my whereabouts?” she urgently needed to leave and she knew Lisa would not let her if she asked.

Zee thought for a while, taking her sweet time. “Umm… What do I get in return?” she asked with a smile on her face and Ayla was forced to give in to her demands.

“Shopping on Saturday.” Zaiah had been on Ayla’s neck for a while now to go shopping with her because she didn’t have anyone to go with and Ayla had been pushing it back but now, she gave in.

“Deal. I’ll try to buy you some time but make sure you come back before closing hours so you can sign out.” she reminded and Ayla nodded before rushing out.

She stopped a taxi as soon as she got out of the building and drove straight to Doris street. It was a big city and it took a while before she could get there.

When. She finally arrived at the said location, she didn’t find Kara there until she walked deeper in. “You came.”

She turned around and found Kara standing behind her. “Aish… I had to rush here from work. Do you know how stressed I am?” Ayla protested seeing Kara in a good state.

Kara scoffed seeing Ayla still as lazy as she used to be back then. “You’re still a weakling.” she smiled mockingly.

Ayla wanted to retort but Kara was quick to say what she had to say. “Father wants to run away with Kel.” she was sceptical in the beginning about telling Ayla this but in the end, she knew she could not save her father and sister alone.

“Huh?” Ayla got serious. She felt that Kara’s choice of words was rather too bold. For her, saying the word relocate was better.

“He is her father. Why would you say he want to run away?” she asked confused.

Kara shook her head wondering if Ayla ever grew up. “Mother is trapped now but I’m guessing it awoke something in Kel. She hasn’t been stable for the past few weeks.” she narrated.

Ayla’s brow furrowed. She sensed that something was wrong with Kel but felt as though it was just stress or anxiety and nothing else and she never got the chance to ask if she was okay.

She took some time to think. “So this is like the scene where she gets possessed after losing someone she loves?” she asked but Kara shook her head.

“She was always like this but now that mother is not around, she can’t be tamed anymore.”
