《Kael's Chosen Girl》全部章節：第 21 章 - 第 30 章

I could see clearly that Kaelith had given up; he let out a heavy sigh, and then he and Simon went to check inside the house whilst I waited in the car. I didn’t feel the same anxiety as before; for some reason, I had a feeling that Red wasn’t here. Perhaps Kaelith’s house had indeed been broken into, but whoever had broken in had already left. Kaelith returned; the man was half-running whilst Simon walked behind him. He seemed to be looking around, as if making sure there was no danger here. I thought long and hard: how much longer would we have to endure all this terror? I was utterly exhausted by it; I just wanted peace and to live happily with… Kaelith. Kaelith opened the car door; he looked at me gently then held out his hand. I took his hand, then got out of the car, holding Kaelith’s hand which… was still cold. “Everything’s fine; we just need to fix the door. It seems someone broke in looking for your family’s ancient book,” Kaelith told me. I turned my head, rememberi

Kaelith has never been like this before; I never expected him to be so much like Red. I guess it’s because Red is a part of him.Kaelith slowly backed away, clutching his head and closing his eyes as if in pain. Meanwhile, I could feel the heat rising in my neck again, all the way up to my throat.Is someone trying to hurt me? I can’t take it anymore.“Let’s go to the hospital now, Vaelora, come on,” Kaelith looked at me, his eyes back to normal.I wasn’t aware of what happened after that, because I lost consciousness as soon as I stepped out of the room.I woke up in the hospital; my hand was hooked up to an IV, and I could see Kaelith’s head resting beside me—he was asleep, sitting up. My body shifted slightly because I felt so stiff.My slight movement woke Kaelith; he immediately looked at me in panic.“H-how do you feel? Does it hurt? Should I call the doctor?”“No, I’m fine, Kaelith. It’s just… my neck still hurts.”Kaelith let out a long sigh, then clasped my hand tightly, kiss

Kaelith fell silent for a moment after I asked. His hands were still gripping the steering wheel tightly, but our car began to slow down slightly. It was as if he were holding back from speaking. I knew he was hiding something, and he had to tell me. “Don’t hide anything you know from me anymore,” I said to him. The car pulled over to the side of the road, and then Kaelith turned to look at me. “I didn’t mean to hide it from you,” he finally said, “but I was just waiting for the right time to tell you.” I could see the uncertainty on his face, it wasn’t like him at all. Lately, he’d been acting like this a lot. Sometimes he looked sad and very anxious. “Just tell me, honey. If this has anything to do with everything that’s happened, then I have a right to know,” I said again. Kaelith leaned back, taking a moment to breathe before finally turning to face me again. “Saga… doesn’t seem like an ordinary human,” he said. I furrowed my brow in surprise, this fact was quite shocking

The light in this room had been dim since we arrived, but now it was pitch black. A few lights were flickering, and a draft was coming in through the cracks in the broken window.From outside, I could see the moonlight beginning to change, turning a deep red.“How could there be a blood moon tonight? Isn’t it supposed to be tomorrow?” I said softly. I covered my mouth again, trying to stop myself from coughing, but it was in vain.The burning sensation in my throat now felt like it was scorching from the inside, spreading all the way to my chest.“Kael…” my voice was so faint, barely audible.Kaelith hugged me tighter, I could feel his hands trembling. He wasn’t just afraid of losing me, he was also holding back his anger.For now, Kaelith’s power seemed sealed away; he couldn’t do much, and Red felt far superior.“I’m here, Vaelora, hold on,” Kaelith whispered to me.But all I could feel was my body growing weaker. The pain had spread throughout my entire body, and it felt as if some

Am I the ultimate target? If that’s the case, the book Alaric brought seems completely useless.“In the end, I’ll still be sacrificed if that’s how it goes,” I said without thinking.“There’s a way to end this, Vaelora,” Alaric said, looking at me seriously. “This curse can be lifted without sacrificing you.”“How?” asked Kaelith.Alaric took a deep breath, then turned to Kaelith, “You and Red must be completely separated.”Red emerged from inside the mansion, he had managed to break free from the ritual seal Kaelith had created.“Impossible. We’ll always be connected because, fundamentally, we were the same soul from the start,” said Red.Red prepared to attack again, but Kaelith immediately blocked him.“Enough, Red. You’ve already destroyed this place, so that’s enough fighting,” Kaelith said firmly.I watched the two of them, Kaelith and Red, who looked identical but were different versions of the same person. Then I realized something, Red had said they came from the same soul.T
