The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 311
Mischa stared closely at Vega and tried to read what was in the girl’s heart.
“Do you … want to give Ren a second chance?” he asked softly.
Actually, if it were up to him, Mischa wouldn’t give Ren a second chance. That man’s crime was too great to the innocent Vega. According to Mischa, a man should never touch a woman.
Just like in a boxing match, when the athletes were fighting, the area below the stomach which was the opponent’s vital area, or weakness, was off-limits. Hitting someone, where they were the most vulnerable, was cheating. To him, hurting an enemy’s wife or child to get revenge on a man was cowardly
For Mischa, cowards didn’t deserve to be pitied and given a second chance.
However, he only kept his thoughts to himself and did not convey what was in his heart to Vega. He was worried that the girl would think he was partial or unfair because Ren was his enemy, the one who had killed the woman he loved.
Vega looked thoughtful at Mischa’s question. After a while, she finally nodded.
“I do think everyone deserves a second chance,” the girl replied softly.
Mischa swallowed hard.
Ahh .. it looked like he really should say goodbye and forget about this family. He wouldn’t be able to meet them again at family functions if Vega did decide to go back to Ren.
“Vega …” Mischa looked at Vega and smiled faintly. “I support whatever you decide, as long as it makes you happy. You don’t have to think about anyone else.”
For the first time that day, Vega smiled back. She nodded. “Thank you.”
“Do you want to go inside? The air is freezing,” said Mischa, who just realized that Vega’s body was trembling a little. He immediately took off his suit and draped it on the girl’s back. “If you still want to be here, I will accompany you.”
Vega touched Mischa’s suit on her shoulder and smiled again.
“Thank you,” she said quietly. “I’ll stay here a bit longer.”
“Very well then,” said Mischa. He then sat beside Vega and returned to his thoughts.
Ahh… soon, he must go and leave this family.
***
Elios actually saw Vega outside chatting with Mischa, but he purposely let them be. He knew that before Vega returned home, she had a close relationship with Mischa while she was still working as his assistant.
In fact, if Elios could choose, he would prefer Vega to fall in love with Mischa and forget about her evil husband. Mischa seemed to be the right man for his daughter.
Elios had known Mischa for most of his life. He met Mischa when Mischa was 7 years old, and the child had been with him for decades.
Mischa was a very tough, responsible, and kind man. He also had a warm personality and was much nicer than Elios himself.
Ahh .. Elios could only take a deep breath. Unfortunately, only Vega could determine the course of her life. Elios couldn’t do anything if Vega wanted something else.
Although Elios felt that Ren was not the right man for Vega, if his daughter chose to return to Ren and give him a second chance, then, as a father, he would support whatever Vega wanted, including accepting the enemy as family.
“What are you thinking?” asked Aleksis, taking her husband’s hand. Elios shook his head.
“Nothing important.”
Ten minutes later, they saw Vega walking into the living room through the door on the terrace near the kitchen. She was still wearing Mischa’s suit that draped over her shoulders. Behind her, Mischa walked slowly, looking dejected.
Ahh .. Elios suddenly felt sad too. He could guess that there had been a conversation between Mischa and Vega outside earlier, and the result made his foster son upset.
Did this mean Vega would forgive Ren, give him a second chance, and come back to him?
Then what about Mischa?
Elios could also imagine that the atmosphere at family events would be awkward if Vega and Ren got back together. The whole family would surely know what happened between Vega and Ren.
Well .. maybe they could also learn to forgive Ren .. but it seemed like it would be very difficult for Mischa to forgive the person who killed Lisa.
“Father .. Mother …” Vega’s voice sounded so small because she had been crying for a long time and almost lost her strength. “I’ve made up my mind.”
Everyone stared at the girl with pounding chests.
What did Vega decide?
“Honey, you don’t need to decide right away. Take as much time as you need,” Aleksis coaxed her. “You need to think things through.”
Vega shook her head. “I’ve thought this through. I don’t think I need to postpone anymore.”
She bit her lip and turned to face Lauriel. “Grandfather, did you bring the antidote for Ren?”
Lauriel nodded. “Yes. I can treat him right now. He won’t die.”
Vega’s face immediately filled with a look of relief. She nodded. “Please heal Ren, Grandpa …”
Lauriel got up from the chair and walked towards the room where Ren was locked up.
Vega looked at all her family members in turn. “I’ve decided to forgive Ren. He did what he did because he was raised that way by his uncle and his mother. He harbored a deep grudge against Father. I really hope we can stop this vicious cycle. He has made my father suffer for years, in return for the suffering he has experienced all his life.”
Elios held his breath. He knew that his daughter must be blaming him for what happened in the past. He stared at Vega with sad eyes.
“Ren always believes that an eye for an eye, and a life for a life …” said Vega again. Her voice trembled as she continued her words. “I suppose, if we continue to follow that principle, then all eyes and all lives in this world will not be enough, because, in the end, people keep taking revenge one after another…”
Elios looked closely at his daughter. He could not read Vega’s heart. Ah … what was it that she wanted?
“Then, what do you want, Honey?” Elios held Vega’s hand and squeezed it gently. “Whatever you want .. I will make it happen.”
At that moment, Lauriel came out of the room where Ren was being held, and he nodded at Vega. “Ren is awake, and he is begging to see you.”
“I need to speak to him,” said Vega. She turned to Mischa, then took the man’s suit off her shoulders. “Thanks. I don’t need it anymore.”
Mischa accepted his suit back with a smile. Only Elios knew his foster son well enough and realized that Mischa’s smile did not reach his eyes.
The man could guess what was in Mischa’s heart. It must be the same as what he was thinking. Mischa was actually not willing if Vega forgave Ren and come back to him, but that man was too kind and would not voice his opinion.
“Let me go with you,” said Aleksis hastily. Vega touched her mother’s arm and shook her head.
“It is okay, Mother. I’ll be fine.”
She then walked to the room where Ren was being treated and didn’t look back at all.
“Just let her be. Ren won’t hurt her,” said Lauriel. “I think they need to say goodbye and sort things out.”
Everyone in the room suddenly gasped. They didn’t understand what Lauriel meant. They need to say goodbye?
The man with long golden hair finally took a deep breath and began to explain what he knew.
“For the past two weeks, Vega has always had nightmares. At first, she had a dream about the shooting incident she experienced, where she lost her babies. It made her very sad. But then, after her memory slowly recovered … she started dreaming much worse things. She dreamed of seeing someone that looked like Ren as the person who kidnapped her and suppressed her memory by various methods of brainwashing and hypnotherapy …. ”
Aleksis held her breath and pressed her lips in shock. She didn’t know this at all. She only knew that Vega had a dream about the shooting incident …
She also dreamed about the torture she endured during her captivity where they hurt her to remove her memory? That was so awful!
Tears streamed down hard from her beautiful blue eyes.
“Then…?” she asked under her breath.
“The dreams haunted her, and it was so hard for her to accept reality. She finally decided to confront Ren directly .. to find out the truth. That’s why she asked me to take her to Almstad and asked for veritaserum potion to use on Ren.”
“Did she tell you what she thought about her own husband being the mastermind behind her kidnapping?” asked Aleksis. “How did she take that possibility?”
Lauriel let out a long sigh. “She is feeling devastated and heartbroken. I think she would forgive Ren, but …”
