The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 300
Ren felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard Linda’s words.
Madame had come…?
Was Linda referring to his wife, Vega?
How could it be? Wasn’t Vega currently in Targu Mures with her family? Did she really come to Almstad?
“Ren?”
That soft voice instantly moved Ren from his shock. He could immediately recognize his wife’s distinctive voice, which was so gentle and soothing. Unknowingly, tears began to form in Ren’s eyes.
He just realized how much he missed this woman.
Ren immediately rushed towards the sound and found Vega standing behind Linda. “Vega, you are here?”
Vega nodded. Her face looked so tired and her eyes were sunken. It looked like she had cried a lot.
Seeing Vega looking so miserable, it felt as if Ren’s heart was being torn apart. He immediately hugged Vega tightly and kissed her hair many times.
“You look unwell,” he whispered. “You shouldn’t travel here. I was just about to visit you in Targu Mures.”
“I’m all right,” said Vega hoarsely. “I want to see you.”
Linda, who knew it wasn’t right for her to stay there long, immediately stepped aside and let the husband and wife vent their longing for each other.
Ren immediately kissed his wife’s lips after they were alone. He then lifted Vega’s body in the air and turned it around. He was very happy to have her by his side again.
They had only been apart for two weeks, but somehow it felt like it had been decades already. Ren was surprised to see Vega suddenly appear at Almstad without notification.
However, his astonishment was overcome by the joy he felt at seeing Vega when his heart was filled with longing for her and frustration from his encounter with Karl earlier.
“You don’t know how much I’ve missed you,” Ren whispered hoarsely. He hugged Vega tightly to his chest again after lowering the woman to the floor.
Vega nodded, but she didn’t say anything.
“Okay … you seem tired. Have you had lunch? Do you want to rest?” Ren asked after loosening his hug to Vega. He looked at the girl’s face with great affection.
Vega tried to smile, but her teary eyes made Ren very sad.
“Is something troubling you?” he asked in a worried tone.
Inwardly, Ren wondered what really happened to Vega. Everything felt so mysterious. Why did Vega suddenly come to Almstad? Did Elios know that his daughter was here? Or …
Did something happen in Targu Mures that caused Vega to run away from there? Was that why she came here alone?
“Honey … what happened? Does your father know you’re here?” Ren asked as he touched Vega’s chin gently.
Only after Ren asked those questions worriedly, Vega answered it by shaking her head. “No … Father doesn’t know. I came here without his knowledge.”
“Oh…” Ren’s chest immediately felt really tight at Vega’s answer. It felt as if it was going to explode at any moment.
If Alaric didn’t know Vega was here, it meant that something happened in Targu Mures so Vega decided to come here without telling her father.
“I’ve met your father and we talked a lot,” said Ren, looking deeply at Vega. “He loves you very much. I don’t think it is wise for you to leave quietly without telling him. He told me to step down from my position as the crown prince of Moravia and return to Targu Mures to be with you. I was just about to ask you to talk about our future.”
“Father asked you to go to Targu Mures? Really?” asked Vega. “What did he say?”
“He said he didn’t like me, but he understood that we are married. So, he told me to talk to you about our future together. He thought that I should go back to working at SpaceLab,” said Ren. He then took Vega and invited her into their room. “We’d better talk inside. I see you look tired.”
Vega nodded. They walked into the room and sat on the comfortable sofa in it. It didn’t take long before Linda knocked on the door. After Vega invited her to enter, the middle-aged woman came with a tray filled with a pot of tea and two cups.
“Have a drink, Sir and Madame,” said Linda. “Earlier, Madame brought a traditional Romanian tea.”
“Thanks, Linda,” said Ren.
Linda poured two cups of tea and straightened the pot and tray on the table. Then she excused herself.
“You brought traditional tea from Romania?” asked Ren with a smile. “I’ve never tried it.”
“It tastes nice and has a calming effect,” said Vega. “I think it’s good for relieving stress. I really like it.”
Ren took one teacup and took a slow sip of his tea. This tea smelled special. He smelled chamomile and several kinds of spices in it. Ren liked this tea just how Vega liked it.
Vega looked at Ren enjoying his tea with a sad expression. When her husband’s cup of tea was running low, she took the teapot and offered to pour some more. Ren happily gave her the cup.
While pouring more tea into Ren’s cup, Vega finally told him the reason why she came to Almstad alone.
Her hoarse voice still sounded sweet to Ren’s ears. The man paid close attention to every word that escaped Vega’s lips. After the cup was refilled, Ren took another sip of his tea.
Vega was right to say this tea could relieve stress. For some reason, Ren felt relaxed and his restless mind was now calm after drinking the tea.
Ahh … maybe it was not because of the tea but Vega’s presence.
That was true. Ren remembered that since he was with Vega he could sleep soundly and his mind was not busy thinking about so many things. Somehow, whenever he was with her, he felt so comfortable that he could sleep well without sleeping pills.
“I underwent several processes of therapy and medication at Targu Mures to restore my memory,” said Vega. “My grandfather said that I went through a heavy brainwashing process and maybe my memory won’t be able to fully recover…”
“Oh…” Ren halted his cup mid-air when he heard Vega utter her words despondently.
Of course, he knew this very well. It was Ren who was responsible for erasing Vega’s memory at that time with the latest brainwashing techniques.
They used advanced drugs and various hypnosis to suppress Vega’s memory during the sixteen years of her life and then force-fed her with false memories.
Even if Vega’s family tried their best to recover her memory, they would have a hard time and it was very likely that the girl’s memory would not recover completely. Ren knew this best and he honestly felt very guilty about it.
Because of that, he was determined to make up for everything by looking after Vega and making her happy for the rest of her life. From now on, he would dedicate his whole life to his wife …
Ren wanted to atone for his sins to this innocent woman.
“Oh, Honey … I’m so sad to hear that,” said Ren in a trembling voice.
He didn’t lie. Vega’s condition made him very sad and sorry.
Ren sincerely hoped that he could reverse time and undo everything …. However, what could he do? He was an ordinary human who had no power over time.
