Kidnapped by a Dragon Billionaire - Chapter 85

After Zi Mei walked into the Heaven’s Descent palace accidentally through the door at Thorin Loong’s house and found Jessica, she had told the dragon shapeshifter to bring help for Thorin. However, Jessica did not seem to be worried or concerned that Thorin Loong was lying unconscious on his sofa in his living room.

“Don’t worry girl, it takes much more to kill Thorin Loong, most likely he is sleeping,” Jessica told Zi Mei. She didn’t even make any effort to go into Thorin’s house to check on him.

Zi Mei will not let this rest. Thorin Loong had appeared pale and sickly when she walked pass him. She grabbed Jessica’s slim arms and tried to drag her towards Thorin’s house.

“Please, just come and check on him,” she pleaded. Zi Mei doesn’t understand why Jessica is so cold towards her husband. Ex-husband. Even if they are divorced, she could have shown at least a tiny bit of sympathy for someone she was once married to.

“I am not a healer,” Jessica told her and pulled her arm free from Zi Mei’s grasp. She looked around and spotted another person, a stocky young man with long green hair tied in a ponytail and large dark eyes. She signalled to him and he walked over to her, his expression questioning her.

“Hey, Kei, do me a favour, follow this mortal to go check on Thorin,” Jessica ordered.

“Did you say Thorin? Me? I check on him??? Don’t you mean to get a senior healer?” he asked nervously.

“Don’t worry about it, you know how Thorin doesn’t like healers to check on him, he prefers to heal himself but his match here is annoying me, so just go with her to appease her,” Jessica gestured to Zi Mei.

The man suddenly noticed Zi Mei standing next to Jessica. He was so focused on Jessica earlier, he didn’t even look at Zi Mei before Jessica pointed her out. He gave Zi Mei a shy nod.

“Where is Thorin Loong? I will go check on him for you,” he said to her.

Zi Mei extended her hand. “I am Zi Mei,” she introduced herself.

“I am Kei,” he shook her hand tentatively.

“Pshhh…just go already,” Jessica snapped, annoyed. This startled Kei and he looked at Zi Mei for her to lead the way.

“Oh right, come with me,” Zi Mei said. She turned around and walked towards the door which she had left open. Kei followed her meekly without saying anything.

Once inside, he looked around in awe.

“Wow, I can’t believe I am inside the Thorin Loong’s home in the human realm,” he whispered in awe, as if he is in a highly sacred place.

Zi Mei wondered why he held Thorin Loong in such high esteem. The handsome CEO must have a rather high position in his dragon world, she thought.

She led Kei over to the sofa where Thorin Loong lay, still unconscious.

“There, see? He is so pale and he is unconscious,” she said unnecessarily.

Kei went over to Thorin’s side and touched his hand tentatively. He frowned slightly and then quickly withdrew his hand. He stared at Thorin wide-eyed. Either in fear or in shock or both, Zi Mei isn’t sure. His expression itself is making her even more worried.

“Well, what is it? Is he okay? Why do you look so panicked?” she asked. “Is he dying?”

“No…no…” Kei stammered. He backed away slightly.

Zi Mei studied his reaction and was concerned. Why did he look like Thorin Loong has some weird disease and he must avoid touching him? Did Thorin Loong suddenly contract a deadly infectious disease?

“What’s going on? Why are you so scared?” she demanded to know.

Kei took a few more steps away from Thorin Loong, careful not to make a sound. Zi Mei’s imagination is now going on overdrive. He must have a highly infectious deadly disease. Maybe it is something like the coronavirus but for dragons. Maybe it is ebola for dragons. Maybe it will eat into their internal organs and kill them slowly. Maybe…

“Actually, the elder is asleep and I am worried that he might punish me for disturbing his sleep,” Kei whispered.

Zi Mei thought she heard wrong. Did he say Thorin Loong was merely asleep?

“Did you just say he is asleep?” she asked loudly.

“Shhhhhh!” Kei shushed her. He quickly but quietly walked away back to the front door.

“We must not wake him…he is healing in his sleep and if we make any sounds to wake him, it will not be pleasant for me…you, he might not punish but not me, I am but a junior healer,” he whispered.

Then he suddenly turned and ran to the door, opened it and went outside. He turned back to close the door gently, giving her a wave as he did so. Zi Mei stared at the closed door in amazement.

What just happened? She wondered. The poor man was so terribly frightened of Thorin Loong. She wondered if Thorin Loong was a fierce and horrible powerful dragon in his world. This must be it. Otherwise, why would the young man be so scared for him?

Well, it doesn’t matter. She is not afraid of him and she will tell him that she has no intention to continue being his contracted mistress. But first, she must ask him whether they had any babies and if they did, she wants to see them.

She is not the most motherly person, she is only 21 years old after all, but if she did have children, at least, she has to see her babies. Maybe even arrange to have shared custody of the children or something. She will not be an irresponsible mother and leave her children to their dragon father.

She walked back to the sofa and stared at the ‘sleeping’ Thorin Loong. She thought he was unconscious and she did try to wake him up but it didn’t work. Talk about sleeping like the dead. She sat down on the armchair and waited. She is itching to go back to check on her friends and her father but she is stuck here.

It would seem only this sleeping man-dragon can take her home now.
