I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

Chapter 524 - Unlucky



Chapter 524 - Unlucky

"Hey, where are we going?" Zaki asked when he noticed that the car was heading somewhere else.

"To the hospital." Yu Chen answered as Zaki’s eyes narrow.

"Huh? Why?"

"We’re going to abduct Kyuu’s girl." Yu Chen nonchalantly replied and Zaki fell speechless. What the hell! Stop acting like this was the same as abducting a puppy!

"Hey, don’t do that. I heard the girl is sick. If you abduct her, her health might only worsen if you scare her like that. Okay, how about I go and talk to her instead?" Zaki suggested but as expected, Yu Chen disagreed.

"No. I can’t let you go." He sternly said. If something happens to you, how would he face Sei?

"Haha. Don’t worry, don’t worry. Look... I have this, okay?" Zaki grinned as he showed him a mask.

Before Yu Chen could speak, the man was already wearing it.

"Ohh... now you look pretty normal!" Gu Wei was the first to react.

"Haha. I know, I know. My wife fell in love with this damned masked too though. The gorgeous me actually ended up competing with this damned normal-looking mask of mine." He blabbered on and everyone was speechless, except, of course, for the singular specie who seemed to be the only one who understood what Zaki just said.

"Mr. Zaki, you have such a romantic love story." Gu Wei said as his gaze at him now dramatically turned a little emotional.

"Of course, nothing can beat me and my wife’s love story." He shamelessly boasted and the next moment, he became serious. "Now it’s time for the mission. Gu Wei and I will go and ask get the girl to come with us willingly."

"Willingly? Even if she willingly came, once she set foot in Scarlet Hill, I will never allow her to leave again." Yu Chen said and the excited duo immediately realize that this was really not a good idea. Knowing Yu Chen, Zaki and Gu Wei’s shoulders could only slump over in disappointment. That’s right, this man does not trust so easily. Everyone knew that he always was the pessimistic freak when it comes to trusting someone, most especially towards women.

Zaki had found out that many years ago, the fall of the Yu family and the death of Yu Chen’s brother and father was all because of a woman’s betrayal. His father’s second wife ended up being the real traitor inside the Yu family. Yu Chen’s grandfather suspected it before, that their real enemy might be within their own household, so he sent Yu Chen away from home to hide him. The old man faked his death after the failed assassination attempt in Snowflakes village and that plan was at least a success. That was how this supposed-to-be almighty heir of one of the richest families in the continent ended up wandering in a war-torn country like an exiled prince.

Yu Chen was the one who uncovered the truth when he returned. But it was already much too late for any counter measures to be taken. His father and brother were already dead. Yu Chen himself, turned into a devil after that and killed the woman with his own two hands in what seemed to be the cruelest way. And he didn’t just stop there, he tortured and took the lives of many others, including his distant uncles who had viciously schemed and worked alongside that evil woman. That was how Yu Chen became the devil that he was. Turning completely ruthless and heartless was the unavoidable result of the disaster that befell his young life.

Zaki correctly guessed that it wouldn’t be easy to open Yu Chen’s heart, the way he was, at this point. It did cross his mind however, that his first love could achieve the impossible, just like what happened to Sei. The more he thought about this, the more convinced he was of this tried-and-true method. But Kyuu had said that the girl was already with someone else. He was unfortunately very unlucky. His girl didn’t only abandon him when they were young but was also already with someone when he saw her again. Maybe, his only hope now was to wait for the girl and her boyfriend to break up? But what if the girl really had fallen in love with her boyfriend?

"Sigh... never mind. It’ll be better to leave the girl alone, Yu Chen. Besides, if she ended up getting hurt or feeling lonely once she arrives in Scarlet Hill, I doubt she would be of much help to Kyuu, much less for herself." Zaki explained before he rested his face on his palm and stared outside the car window. "Actually, it’s better if they don’t see each other again. It would be painful for that girl to watch Kyuu suffer if she comes with us. It’s better if she didn’t know that he could die at any moment now." He added, his voice serious but there was a hint of pain in them. Even though he felt bad for Kyuu for not at least being with the girl he likes, he thought that this was better for the both of them. Though sad, they will not be able to miss what they do not know or have.

"Well, I think it would be better to have a chat and ask Kyuu about his opinion and how he feels about all this for now the moment we get back. So, let’s not get ahead of ourselves and rush into anything for now. For all that we know, our rash actions that we think is best for Kyuu might end up ruining everything instead." He switched gears and since left without a choice and with solid reasonings, Yu Chen finally nodded.

...

That night, when Zaki and Yu Chen arrived in the sanatorium somewhere in Scarlet Hill, what welcomed them was Kyuu’s agonizing scream.

Author’s Note:

For the readers who asked questions in the previous chapter, here’s my answer. The events in ILYM right now is happening in the same timeline of IHYD’s chapter 200+(after Yu Chen woke up from coma). That’s why when Xiaolei met Davi during Sei’s birthday, she’s still not pregnant there.

When Davi visited Yu Chen in the hospital while he was in rehab, Davi was already pregnant there which I didn’t mention in IHYD.

If my explanation is still confusing let’s do it this way. Stop linking ILYM with IHYD for now. Think of it like IHYD never happened yet. The events right now in ILYM are the present and IHYD never existed yet.

I don’t want to explain more because I don’t want to spoil you so this is better. Don’t worry, you guys will understand as the story progresses.
