Thea leaned over and kissed James on the forehead. She caressed his face and said with a smile, “Rest well, Honey. I’ll be back by dusk if nothing goes wrong.”
A myriad of emotions welled up in James as her soft hands caressed his face.
He remembered caring for Thea the same way when they were reunited a year ago.
Unexpectedly, it was Thea’s turn to take care of him now.
He closed his eyes and stayed silent.
Meanwhile, Thea headed out.
She picked up the hoe in the yard and walked out of the village.
James could not move, so he stayed in bed as he stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Time passed by at a glacial pace.
After some time, James gradually fell asleep.
Suddenly, a person appeared in his room.
The man looked to be in his 40s. He had a short crew cut and was dressed in baggy white clothes.
He stood beside the bed and had a troubled look on his face as he looked at James.
“I’m sorry, my boy. I don’t want to do this either, but I’ve got no other choice.
“The Spirit Turtle’s blood in Thea’s body is aberrant and is beyond what I expected. I’ve carefully studied it and found that the blood in her body is affected by her emotions.
“The more intense her negative emotions, the stronger she’ll become.
“Which is why I have to take you away.”
The person that showed up was Thomas.
Thomas stood in front of the bed as he murmured to himself.
All of a sudden, he flicked his finger toward James.
An invisible force flew out from his fingertips and shot into James.
Immediately afterward, Thomas picked James up and made to leave the room.
Next, a man dressed in a black coat with a mask that covered his face walked inside the room.
In his hands was a black bag.
Inside the bag was an assortment of broken bones and chunks of human flesh.
He opened the bag and haphazardly emptied the gruesome contents of the bag on the bed.
After he completed his task, the person followed Thomas’ lead and quickly left the place.
Simultaneously, Thea was busy tilling a piece of land outside the village.
