Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 625 Do Not Regret It
"You have told me that you have a way to save him?" Hannah held her child in his arms as she looked at Eli with tears in her eyes when Eli looked away.
She did not know how to respond to the tears of the woman.
"Where is he now?" she asked Evan when Eli did not look back at him.
She knew that saving him was impossible since he was badly wounded. She was sure that they must have tried.
There was no way that they would let him die. It was all because of her. If she had not been tangled with George, her eyes closed and more tears fell.
"We had already buried him." Eli's head snapped back to Evan who lied with a straight face when even the eyes of Hannah widened.
"Why? You should have waited for me. Waited for my son to say last goodbye to his father." her voice raised as she stared at Evan with a cold and hurt look.
"Because his body was infected. The sword that attacked him had a poison that was damaging his body. This is the only reason that we were not able to save him and we had to bury him immediately." she closed her eyes and tears started to fall her eyes when Hannah kept staring at her for a few seconds before wailing loudly.
Andrew took the child from her arms and held it protectively when all three of them hugged each other and cried together.
"Warm some milk. I will feed the child first." he ordered the maid who left with concern.
Just as he turned, he saw Leo standing there and staring at the scene. The eyes of Andrw widened.
He was sure that Leo was not going to wake up too. But not only was he standing on his feet, there was no mark of injury on his body as if the explosion had never happened.
"Leo! You woke up! And you are fine too." Andrew held the child in his hand and took a circle around Leo who was standing there like a statue.
He had not said a word but kept staring at his wife and sisters. Their years, their pain was hollowing him and his eyes were turning colder. The voice of Andrww was not reaching his ears at all the moment he heard that Ethan died.
"Leo, I am amazed. This is no less than a miracle. But I am glad that it happened. But you still need rest. Are you feeling any kind of pain or nausea or anything..`` Before he could ask further, Leo held his collar and pulled him towards him.
Andrew stared at Leo with confusion when he stared into his eyes.
"Where is your father?"
"......." Andrew paused and then sighed. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎
He could feel the anger of Leo and understand it but his father was too dangerous for them to handle.
He had already killed Ethan and injured Leo badly. Only God knew what else he would do if they met them.
"I do not know and I am glad that we are away from him. He is a dangerous man, Leo we should stay away from him." he warned but the eyes of Leo only flickered sinisterly.
He let go of Andrww and then turned and left the room.
"Leo, wait. You should not go to find him. You need rest. And your family needs you. Your father still did not know the truth. You are needed here.. Shit!" He cursed when he saw Leo walking straight towards the entrance door and taking his horse instead of carriage.
"Damn! You fool! You should listen to me sometimes." he cursed again as he kicked the door.
"How many knights do we have in the palace right now?" he asked the maid who winced at his cold voice and started stammering.
"That.. we!"
"I did not have time for this. Call Theodore here." he growled when the maid nodded and ran away.
Theo, who was trying to handle his master and trying to find a way to tell him the truth, frowned when he was called urgently but when he looked at the grim face of Andrew, he could feel the ominous feeling kicking in.
"We need half of the knights with me right now. We have a battle to fight." If it was Leo, Andrew was sure that he would be able to find his father even if he was hiding in the depths of hell.
But he was not sure what tricks his father was holding in his sleeves.
The face of Theo turned grim instantly. He looked at the head maid that had followed him out of worry.
He took out the keys from his pocket and passed it to her.
"Take care of the palace and every member until I return. And if I do not, then you are the new caretaker of this palace." the eyes of the woman widened but he did not give her a chance to speak.
He turned to look at Andrew with a grim face.
"Come with me, your highness, I have already been preparing for this day for a long time." Andrew paused, a long time?
He nodded and followed the old man who was not even fit to fight. He wanted to tell him that he was not needed but for some reason he did not.
His grim face was emitting a lot of pressure. They walked towards the kitchen which made him confused again but he took Andrew into the attached store room and started fumbling with things.
"Theodore, we do not have this much time. Leo had already left half an hour ago and god knows what he would do if he found his father first.
We need to reach him before the war will start." he warned with a frustrated look as he could not understand the action of the old butler.
"Oh, i promise you will not regret coming with me here, your highness."
