The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 139

Early morning.

Doriaas was preparing their meals for breakfast in the kitchen.

Leera returned with her things and deposited them in the room where she and Rhett would be staying for a while. Done putting her things in the cabinet, she exited the room and went to the kitchen.

Doriaas looked at her visitor. “Do you need help putting your stuff in place?” she asked.

“No thanks, I already finished placing our things in the cabinet,” Leera replied.

“Just wait for a few minutes, breakfast will be ready by then. I’m still working on it,” Doriaas said.

“I’m sorry for disturbing your peace,” Leera apologized sincerely.

Doriaas smiled. “It’s okay. You and your husband can stay here as long as you like. This is a safe place to hide as long nobody knows that you come here,” she said.

“I told no one where I’m going when I left the mansion,” Leera responded.

“That’s great!” Doriaas said, feeling relieved.

“I’m planning to relocate in the capital if they accidentally find this place to avoid implicating you. I will install an invisible barrier around this area that will alert us if strangers are approaching this place,” Leera stated.

“Much better!” Doriaas said, liking Leera’s plan about creating the barrier.

Half an hour later.

Leera helped Doriaas arrange their meals on the table consisting of roasted fish and stir fry crabs that the latter had harvested from the stream near the hut.

Doriaas placed the plate and utensils on the table. “Let’s eat!” she said.

The women ate their meals in comfortable silence, Rhett was still sleeping in the room.

After the women finished eating, Leera brought the food to the room so that she can feed her beloved husband when he woke up.

When she entered the room, to her horror, Rhett was already wide awake and was urinating on the floor.

She quickly put the plate on the table and rushed to her husband’s side. “Darling, why didn’t you wait for me? You can’t urinate on the floor it will smell bad!” she scolded him softly.

Rhett just looked at her with no emotion in his eyes, he went to the table after his nostril smelled something nice and his eyes caught sight of the delicious aroma of food.

Leera allowed Rhett to eat his meal alone while she grabbed the cloth nearby and wipe the smelly urine from the wooden floor. She looked at Rhett with love shining in her eyes. Because of him, she is willing to bear and do anything even if she will serve him every waking hour for the rest of her life.

Leera went outside the house where the basin with rainwater was located and washed the cloth with soap then return to the room to finish her chore.

Done cleaning the floor, she joined her husband at the table. “Eat some more, darling,” she said gently, she loves watching Rhett eat. She adores every little thing he says and does, that’s how much she loves him.

One hour later.

She brought Rhett to the toilet outside the house to make sure he won’t defecate on the floor of their room.

A few meters away.

Busy tending to her vegetable garden, Doriaas was shaking her head while watching the couple exiting the toilet. Leera was just a woman in love, for her serving the man she loves is her ultimate joy in life.

She resumed removing the weeds from the vegetable garden. She will harvest green leafy vegetables later for their dinner. It’s nutritious, perfect for the pregnant woman’s healthy diet.

One hour later.

Doriaas went back to the house to start preparing the dishes for lunch.

Lunchtime comes and goes.

Leera spent her time beside her husband, whether they are in the room or walking in the clearing in front of the house, or just being outside and enjoying the tranquil atmosphere around the forest.

The afternoon passed like a blur.

During the evening, Leera tried her best to help Doriaas with the food preparation for dinner at the same time watching over Rhett who is sitting on the chair alone, looking at the world outside through the open window.

Leera looked at Rhett then at the healer. “Is there any chance we can reversed what happened to my husband?” she asked.

“What-? You already regretted what you have done to him? I told you not to erase his memories again because it will make his situation worst but you still went ahead despite of my warning,” Doriaas said.

Leera breathed deeply. “Yeah, I know… I’m just asking…” she said.

Doriaas shrugged and replied, “I’m sorry there’s nothing I can do for him anymore when it comes to his memory. The only person who can cure him is the one who fed him the roots of The Green Bolean Tree.”

“Okay…” Leera said. “I admitted my mistake, let’s no longer talk about this issue,” she added, suddenly feeling guilty.

“You are now in the land of no return,” Doriaas commented. Then she asked, “What will you do if one day Sabrina and that mysterious guy will catch up with you and Rhett?”

Leera pondered at the question for a few seconds. “I will fight them to the death! I will never surrender Rhett to them, over my dead body!” she said resolutely.

“Okay, I respect your decision, but what if your unborn child will get affected due to your stubbornness?” Doriaas insinuated.

“I’ll try to get my child out of the way but worse come to worst, my husband, me and our unborn child will go down together because we are family, we should stick together come what may,” Leera stated in a determined voice.

Doriaas released a deep sigh. She keep her mouth shut no longer wanting to pump righteousness in Leera’s head since the stupid woman was madly in love with her husband, and no amount of advice could get through her head anymore. She hoped that Leera’s madness won’t become the demise of the unborn child in her womb, it’s a tragedy waiting to happen.

After the women finished cooking the food, the three of them gathered around the table to eat dinner together.

Meanwhile…

At the Portwell Mansion, Sabrina was waiting for Ivy’s arrival in her room.

She wants to return to the Priestess’s mansion tonight and rescue Rhett once and for all!

She stood beside the window looking at the star-filled sky above.

She remembered her sweet life in the cave with Rhett. She wants him back even if he had already impregnated another woman. She didn’t hate him because she know that he was being forced to do those things against his will. His memory was tampered with, erased, therefore he impregnated that woman without his consent.

That shameless woman having Rhett’s child is not a big deal to her, she just wants him back and continues their love story where they left off.

Once she already got Rhett back, she will go back to her previous home and find Granny Azere and Aunt Olga and explained everything to them what exactly happened to her and Rhett during their absence.

First, she needs to get Rhett back so that they can finally go home. She’s excited to start a family with Rhett, she was dying of jealousy after she learned that her boyfriend impregnated another woman, it hurts so bad, but the sad and painful truth didn’t diminish her love for Rhett!

She still loves him so much, she is willing to forgive him and forget everything that happened between him and that shameless woman.

A few minutes later.

Sabrina saw a bird flying towards the window, it’s Ivy!

She smiled brightly.

Ivy landed on the window sill. “I’m here!” she announced her presence cheerfully.

“I thought you’re no longer coming. I thought you’re already tired helping me,” Sabrina said.

“No, that will never happen! I’m committed to helping you in any way I can. That’s why I’m here now, ready for the showdown again!” Ivy said enthusiastically.

Sabrina noticed the renewed enthusiasm and blinding confidence Ivy had shown today. “You look confident today, why is that so?” she asked curiously.

“You only have to instruct the guardian of the medallion to freeze everyone in the mansion then we will be able to achieve our goal in rescuing Rhett quickly and effortlessly,” Ivy said smugly.

Sabrina smiled. “Only if the guardian is in a good mood today – he might help us,” she stated.

“He will help us I’m sure of that!” Ivy said confidently.

“Okay, let me wear my jacket first before we return to the Priestess’s mansion,” Sabrina said and grabbed the jacket from the door. After donning the jacket, she said, “I’m ready!”

“Alright, I will now summon our magic carpet ride!” Ivy said.

A few minutes later.

The magic carpet materialized on the floor.

Ivy and Sabrina step on the carpet and teleport back to the Hillsraine Grove.

A few minutes later, they resurface outside the mansion, the magic carpet was hovering in the air.

Unlike before, the residents of the mansion didn’t bother to gather outside the house and attacked them.

No one cares!

Sabrina found the situation weird and strange. “Eh? What’s going on? Why does no one attack us this time around? Are they planning to ambush us?”

“Strange indeed. Don’t worry, we’re inside the magic carpet, we’re protected by the invisible barrier, we can teleport right away if the need arises,” Ivy reassured her.

Suddenly, a lone woman exited the entrance of the mansion and looked up. She rose in the air and leveled with the carpet looking at the visitors warily. “What can I do for you, ladies?” she asked in a friendly tone.

Sabrina looked at the woman. “Where is Rhett? Where is the Priestess?” she inquired.

“The Priestess and the wolf already left this place early in the morning. Priestess Leera put me in charge of this house and told me that she and her husband will leave this place for good so that my sisters and I won’t be dragged into this mess that she had created on herself,” Dolores explained.

Sabrina eyed the woman suspiciously. “How do we know that you’re telling us the truth? Or you’re just lying to protect the Priestess?”

Dolores sighed heavily. “You can search the whole place, I’m not going to stand in your way. We just want peace, now that the Priestess is gone there is no need for you to return here because the person that you are looking for is no longer here. They went to a faraway place and never told me where that place is…”

Sabrina looked at Ivy. “Can we trust her?” she asked.

“Don’t worry, I’ll find out the truth, I have my ways. I’ll check the house from top to bottom, just wait here,” Ivy said.

Dolores lowered herself to the ground, Ivy followed her inside the house.

Sabrina watched above from the carpet, dreading what is going to happen next.
