Chapter 442 - Changes
"You're never coming back?!!" Xing Han wailed, sobbing uncontrollably.
Kyle quickly got up from the bed, hugging him tight, "No, no ... I didn't mean that. I'm sorry. No. I will come back. One day."
He gently wiped the tears off Xing Han's face, putting his forehead on his, saying, "I just can't go back now and have him dictate my life. He will only spoil everything I have been working my entire life for."
Kyle then brought his head up, and looked at Xing Han in the eyes, and said softly so only Xing Han heard, "I have my children to save."
Xing Han cried again, for he couldn't find an answer to that. He couldn't be selfish now, could he? Not when he put it like that.
He knew, Kyle had all of this planned out. From their talks before, Kyle's plan to come to Country M was after he finished schooling at Sakura Academy, and was planning to enroll in one of the top Universities here in Country M.
He was supposed to have more time with Kyle. More time to adjust.
Not this.
Not this sudden thing.
If only Kyle hadn't been so eager to help that darn Nitocris.
?.?.?.?
Meanwhile, at that exact moment in Country Tz, Nitocris had this really, really cold feeling come over him. He had been feeling agitated the past few days, like something was not right. When Kay had called him about Kyle's situation, it made sense.
However, everything was already settled. Kyle was fine and had never been in any danger.
So why was he feeling like this now, and the sense was even worse than it had been several days ago? Did something else happen?
He immediately took his phone to call Kyle.
?.?.?.?
Patrick sat in the plane, and ignored the two women in his life that were equally ignoring him.
Delilah refused to sit next to Patrick, and stayed with her daughter instead. She couldn't believe how callous and cold-hearted her husband was. Even if Kyle was not injured badly and recovering, how could he just up and leave?
Why couldn't she have stayed and comforted her own heart to take care of Kyle?
He was all alone now in Country M.
True, there was Xing Han and Sam so that made her feel a bit more at ease, but it didn't detract the pain she had in her heart.
She missed her son, damn it. She had been under a lot of pain and sadness upon thinking he had died. Yet, her stupid husband didn't even let her be with her own son!
She just lay there. grumbling.
Kay, in the meantime, was just staring out the window of the plane. The sky was dark and there was nothing to see, really. Her mind was back at Country M.
To be specific, of a certain incident and a really special person that got imprinted into her heart. If it wasn't for that, she doubted she would have been able to follow her father out of the ward.
Kyle assuring her to leave helped, as well, but it was really what she had learned from that night which gave her the strength to do so.
Kay knew, once she followed Patrick, it meant that it would be a long time before she could see Kyle again. This would be the first time that they would be separated like this. Even though they had the mindlink, it didn't mean it made the pain go away.
She took a deep breath, fearing for the future.
A future without Kyle by her side.
She closed her eyes, thinking back on that night, to garner strength.
It had been when Kyle had gone out for his 'jog' and told her to block him out. She was upset. She was agitated. She needed her own release.
Thus, she had slipped out that night to go to the clubhouse right below the hotel. The 'Rock' Cafe. It was neither a cafe, nor was the theme full of rocks. It was a disco/pub, and a place one goes to, to just let loose and have fun.
Kay thought it was ironic that Kyle had gotten into trouble for slipping out without telling anyone, when it was actually her that had done so.
She dressed up and made herself look older. Kyle wasn't the only one that could do the make-up, but she liked being pampered by him. This time, her make-up was slightly heavier and though her dress was still figure-hugging, it wasn't a micro skirt. A shimmering silver dress that reached just mid-thigh.
When she entered the place, it was full of loud music and blinking lights. It was perfect.
It was also the place she met that special person, who changed her life.
Raine.
