Chapter 237 Gloomy
Inside the shower room, Davi was feeling strange. She didn’t know why her heart was strangely palpitating. She was badly anticipating what he will tell her. It was because that moment, something strange seemed to be reflecting in his eyes.
The look in his eyes made her felt somewhat restless and she reflexively put her hand on her chest, feeling the abnormal beating of her heart.
"Why am I feeling like this? I’m just feeling way too nervous, right?" she murmured to herself as her eyes began to wonder. But the the longer she thinks about it, for a reason she herself didn’t know, part of her seemed to be telling her that it’s better for her not to hear what he was about to say. A thought that made her felt an unpleasant feeling and caused her to just shook her head, trying to clear her mind from those negative thoughts.
Sei on the other hand was about to leave his study room when he heard a certain sound coming from the computers he left working on their own hours ago. He then halted and stepped back. And the moment he looked at it, darkness instantly began to envelop his entire being.
...
Davi waited for him but Sei didn’t step out of his study room. She went and knocked on his room at lunch but Kir told her that there’s an emergency and that he was busy. Davi of course understood the situation, she was already aware that Sei was fighting against the world. She already knew just what kind of war he’s into and its making her heart aches every time she thinks about it.
The sun was already setting when Zaki finally arrived home. But the first thing that he noticed was the gloomy vibe coming from the grandfather and the granddaughter-in-law who were both sitting across each other in the dining room.
"Er... what happened here?" Zaki asked when Davi lifted her head.
"Ah, Mr. Chen! You’re already home?!" she exclaimed and her gloomy look disappeared.
"Yep, I’m home." He said and Davi walked closer to him.
"So? How’s your fiancée’s birthday?" she asked as though she was waiting for a good news when Zaki just scratched the back of his neck.
"The party was cancelled because her grandfather was suddenly rushed in the hospital." Zaki replied and Davi’s excitement slowly faded. Well, the unexpected event that happened before Hinari’s party could even start was such a disaster. Zaki didn’t even see her until he visited her grandfather in the hospital. And by the time he was there, Hinari was already sleeping beside the sick old man. Zaki didn’t wake her up, so he just stayed for a couple hours watching them sleeping before he left, leaving the gifts behind.
"I-is that so? I hope her grandfather and your fiancée are alright." Davi said and Zaki smiled as he replied.
"Don’t worry, they’re alright. Anyway, where is Sei?"
"He’s inside his study room. Kir said he’s busy. He never step outside either so I couldn’t use the thing you gave me." Davi said as she pouted and Zaki could only wonder.
Busy? I wonder what is that guy doing...
"Well then, I’ll go see what he is doing." Zaki said and Davi nodded.
That moment, as soon as Zaki left, the old man beside her suddenly talked.
"May I know what is the thing he gave you?" the old man curiously asked and Davi didn’t hesitate to answer him.
She sidled towards him and whispered what it was and for some reason, a certain light of hope glittered across the old man’s eyes.
"Young miss, can you lend it to me?" he asked and Davi nodded.
"Of course, Mr. Chen is already here so I can’t use it anymore. Wait gramps, I’ll go get it." She replied before she hastily left. Leaving the old man started grinning mischievously as though he finally found something that will redeem him from all those tragic loses he suffered from his own hard headed grandson.
