Chapter 74 Eve’s Time Is Up?
"Oh-okay"
"I will continue the story."
"During that day when the boy didn't visit the girl on the 200th day, the girl was filled with lots of grievances, she took it for granted that he would come for her."
"One day passed, second-day, third-day and so on.
The girl who initially had a temper why the boy was not coming to coax her suddenly panicked."
"She thought maybe something had happened, so she visited the boy's house and confronted him. The boy was leisurely sipping a cup full of tea."
"He just looked at her. His eyes no longer had the same emotion. He closed his eyes and finally answered the girl- love is not always about giving, if only one side is always giving then it's no longer love.
I visited you every evening for 199 days, I think it was enough to show my sincerity and that my love was real but sorry I can't come to visit on the last day...because if I had come, I would lose my dignity as a man.
If you can't see it clearly in those 199 days then I don't think the 200th day can make any difference. After saying he ordered the servants to see the girl out. At that point the girl was thunderstruck, she saw his eyes which had no emotion."
"She finally realised he no longer has any feelings for her. When did his love die for her? On 200th day? On 199th day?
100th day? Or much before when I asked him to do such a thing? Looking at his cold eyes, she finally knew the greatest suffering was indifference...because if the boy still showed some hate, spoke bad etc, it meant he still had her in his heart, but showing no emotion meant he completely got over her.
All the time with him from her childhood flashed through her eyes. She knew she lost something she couldn't get back. In the rainy day, she sat on the road with endless regrets in her heart."
Parul was already emotional and her mood showed fluctuations but before she could speak we saw two girls who were in a bad condition.
"What?"
Both of us were taken aback by seeing someone completely unexpected.
Yes, it was no other than Eve and Evelyn!
Seeing us was like seeing a candle in the dark of night.
Eve dragged her exhausted body along with her sister towards us quickly.
Q
Seeing Eve's blood-stained clothes, cracked skins, and charred lips I knew they had been through something rough.
Evelyn looked at us with her big eyes filled with curiosity.
"Sister, is he the one you said can help us?"
"Will he take us around the world to visit a lot of places and help us eat all the delicious sweets?"
-Evelyn spoke with burning eyes like a child who found her most precious treasure.
"Evelyn?"
-there were a lot of weird emotions on Parul's face, she remembered being dragged to prison by Evelyn.
"Who are you?"
"My sister said we must not talk to strangers! Are you thinking of luring and kidnapping me?"
"Don't think that I'm a fool, you can't trick me!"
-Evelyn put her hands on her waist and stood proudly.
"Why are you acting like you don't know me? You were the one who slapped me, bitch!"
-Parul spoke with a little anger in her tone.
"I already said I don't know you!"
"Don't try to blame this lady."
-Evelyn argued back without any fear.
Seeing her like this I looked at Eve who noticing my gaze gave a wry smile.
"Is she suffering from Amnesia?"
-I asked Eve.
"Yes, it's a long story."
After replying Eve hurriedly fell to her knees to hold my thighs.
"Elandor, please save us!"
"Those brothers will kill us and never let us live peacefully!"
"Leon must already be on his way chasing us."
She already started crying, seeing her like this I looked at Parul.
Parul had a complicated expression on her face, she nodded towards me signalling to first know what was with the situation.
"Okay tell us everything!"
Hearing my words was like an amnesty.
Eve who was already exhausted from hunting to feed Evelyn along the journey while being chased by Leon, using all her remaining strength started telling her and Evelyn's story.
She told everything she could remember about David's new backers, about his newfound strength, about his alliance with Leon, about her being stabbed, her being cheated, her living in a bubble waiting to burst open...slowly she told everything.
Hearing her story, Parul who was already emotional from the story I told before already started crying after sympathising with her.
'Aah, another girl who hides her secret-weak side like Jasmine.'
After she told everything she looked at me with some hope in her eyes.
"I don't know if anyone can help us. The only one who comes to my mind is you. Even if you don't want to save me please at least save my sister.
She was only driven by circumstances which must have been created by you, she has already lost her memory and I don't know if she will even recover it in future."
Her body once again fell to the ground as she looked at me with her pleading eyes.
Parul who was touched at listening to how both sisters were thrown aside by David and Leon after using and breaking them looked at me with her aggrieved eyes.
"You must save them!"
"If it wasn't for your tricks they wouldn't have suffered."
I admit it was truly an indescribable situation, a strong shield-user was lying helplessly on the ground, her sister was suffering from amnesia and only cared about tasting some sweets..not even caring about injuries on her body...while the victim who was beaten by them was touched and was pleading for them.
'But Parul is right about one thing...Everything happened because I interfered.'
'I guess I will have to take responsibility, I can't let my image in Parul's mind go down anyway!'
I once again looked at Eve but after looking carefully I bit my lips.
With my dragon eyes, strengthened by the power of luck from the luck-devouring lotus I could already see the things others could not.
"Even if I want to help I can't."
"You must have been hit by some strong attack and you used some means of overdrawing your vitality to get away."
Hearing me Eve lowered her head, she already had an idea about her situation.
"Your organs inside are already ruptured, your body cells are already breaking down, your skin has started cracking up. It must be taking a lot of your willpower just to stand up enduring all the pain!"
I looked at Parul helplessly.
"She only has 1 hour left."
"It's already her luck she could find us but saving her at this point is impossible."
I was not uttering nonsense, when I looked at her, all the luck over her was exhausted..probably already being forcefully devoured by David. The strange technique and attack with which she was being attacked had consumed too much of her life's force.
She was no different than a grandma in her eighties refusing to die before seeing her grandchildren one last time. I was pretty sure that if I even shook her slightly, she won't be able to endure and leave the world directly.
Eve who knew about her situation just lay on the ground and looked at me one last time,
"Promise that you will take care of my sister when I leave the world."
Seeing Eve's miserable and pitiful condition, Parul held my hand tightly.
"Promise her, looking at her taking her last breaths, she doesn't seem to have much time left."
Evelyn, who was busy eating the cake brought by us for refreshments, looked at us.
"Sister promise what?"
"Didn't you say we will eat tasty sweets together?"
"Why are you speaking as you will leave me?"
Seeing her like this, Eve wanted to say a lot of things but her strength was constantly draining, even if she wanted to speak her mouth was refusing to open...she knew her time was coming.
She looked at me one last time,
"Please promise! I beg you"
Parul bit her lips.
"If you can save her, I will admit you are a good person and will give you a chance to follow me."
I just looked at Parul and shook my head.
It was not that I didn't want to help Eve,
Her entire luck was devoured ruthlessly, as a heroine if she had even a small amount of it left..then maybe she could use this opportunity to rise and be reborn like a phoenix.
But it's already too late for her, if you look clearly at her ..her life's origin is already exhausted. The attack by the old man as said by Eve was too vicious, it was a soul attack directly trying to annihilate her internally.
'Probably the reason she can hold on until now is that she still cares for her sister's well-being after her death!'
'She really has a strong willpower!'
