Chapter 340 340. Imperial Physician’s Condition
"What the hell was that! Did that psycho apologise or is my brain malfunctioning?" Harry asked in a stupefied tone.
"Let's not lower our guards." Rose said, similarly surprised by the Professor's behaviour.
But none of them expected the Professor to retreat and go back to his palace with his mom while all guards were ordered to dothe same.
The professor's sudden decision was shocking for everyone including Markus as well.
He knew that at least this would put them in a positive position but never in his dreams had he expected the Professor to leave the battlefield at that very moment.
"Guess a little humanity was still left within him." Aaron said to Markus.
Markus just nodded while turning his attention back to his beloved wife who was now only at a distance of ten steps from him.
"Stop." Suddenly Markus said, taking everyone by surprise because of his stern tone.
Even Kizy was no exception as she was unable to guess what Markus was thinking right now.
"You broke our promise and landed ahead of me." Markus said, one single statement, but his tone was cold and strict, leaving no room for discussion.
"I just wanted to make sure that all of you will be safe." Kizy said, her voice almost a whisper by the end as she lowered her head.
"By putting your and baby's life at risk and compromising your own safety?" Markus questioned back, his tone still the same.
This time Kizy didn't even answer as tears started pooling in her eyes. She wanted nothing but to run back towards Markus and hug him tight.
But right now Markus was questioning her and though no matter how much she felt it was not supposed to be like this, she knew somewhere deep down that her decision on whim had resulted in a lot of loss.
She didn't even know how Joel was or where had Victor disappeared?
"Do you accept what you did was wrong?" Markus questioned back.
Kizy simply nodded with her head lowered, knowing that if she was to face Markus, she would break down completely.
"Stop being so cold to her. She has been through a lot as well." Rose tried to meddle, knowing Markus won't argue with her.
But guess she was wrong.
"Who asked her to go through all this though? She was supposed to land last when nobody would have dared to lay even a single hand on her or more appropriately even touch a single hair on her head." Markus said, his voice reaching a pitch higher, not caring he was talking to Rose.
"So you accept your mistake?" Markus turned back to Kizy.
Kizy weakly nodded once again.
"Will you accept whatever punishment comes with your rash act?" Markus asked, not backing down a little.
"Y.. yes." Kizy said as a single tear rolled down her cheek to the ground.
"Your punishment is to promise me that you will never leave my side. Never take decisions against my will. And never put yourself in a risky situation. You are forever tied to me Mrs. Evans, no running away from me now." Markus's tone softened by the end.
Kizy immediately looked up, not caring about her tear stained face as she thought she heard Markus wrong.
"Accept your punishment, you have no way out." Markus said with a playful smile, making everyone happier as well.
"Accepted." Kizy said while taking a step ahead.
"Wait." Markus once again stopped her.
"Now what?" Kizy whined through her tears.
"Only step ahead if you accept to stick by my side for the rest of your life. I will be your shadow in light and your light in dark. No matter where you go, there is no getting rid of me in this lifetime and maybe afterlife as well. Do you accept this? If yes, only then walk ahead." Markus said while bending on one knee, creating the most memorable and loving proposal in the world.
Kizy pretended to think for a while before taking a step back, making Markus's eyes go wide.
"Off course I accept, Mr. Markus!" Kizy said while taking hurried steps before reaching Markus, who instantly lifted her up, resulting in a giggle from Kizy.
"I love you Mrs. Evans." Markus said.
"Love you too Mr. Evans." Kizy said while touching his forehead with hers.
All others started howling and hooting, cheering the powerful couple who had finally united after going through all the troubles since the very beginning.
"Let's check on others, they have suffered a lot for us." Markus whispered to Kizy to which she nodded.
Markus and Kizy then instantly went towards Andrew where Markus hugged him as Andrew watched with mixed expression towards the blasted ship.
"My father, my biggest enemy. He. Is. Gone." Andrew said each word with a heavy heart, not knowing how he was supposed to react. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗ｏ𝚟𝚎𝚕.ｏｒｇ
Markus just hugged him while rubbing his back, knowing no words could console Andrew.
"His condition isn't good." Kizy said while checking Joel's condition who was still unconscious and pale.
Markus and Andrew both exchanged an understanding look before turning towards Joel.
"We need some emergency service before shifting him to a good hospital." The doctors informed, knowing they had done everything that was in their control.
Everyone was racking their brains to come up with something, like maybe the shortest route back or the closest hospital in vicinity with all facilities when someone interfered.
"Maybe we can help him out." The person said and everyone turned back to the source of that voice.
Standing not far away was the Imperial physician along with Sia, who looked a little uncomfortable under everyone's attention.
"Can you do that?" Markus asked immediately, knowing he could trust the Imperial physician.
"We can try." The Imperial Physician said while looking towards Sia before looking ahead.
"But on one condition." The Imperial physician said, taking everyone by shock.
