Trapped in Love

While lost in thought, Axel glanced at Liora, who sat motionless on the bed, her face cold and drained of any emotion.
Her dull eyes no longer reflected her past brightness.
Feeling sorry for her, Axel walked over and pulled her into his arms.
“You don’t have to hold back, Lia.
Just cry if you want.
I’m here.” She leaned her forehead against Axel’s chest and hoarsely whispered, “Axel.” “Yeah, I’m here,” Axel reassured her.
“Is Daddy also dead?” Liora’s icy voice broke Axel’s heart.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know.” Tears welled up in Axel’s eyes.
Liora shifted her head and sounded even sadder.
“I heard what Mommy said.
Uncle Neil, Uncle Kenny, and Daddy got into accidents, and it was him who did it.” Axel softly patted Liora’s back, offering silent
comfort.
Usually, Liora had the most agitated reactions, but now she didn’t even shed tears.
This realization made Axel panic–he was worried that something might be wrong with her mentality.
Liora took a slow breath, closed her eyes, and fell silent.
Axel looked down at her, and his complicated feelings intensified when he saw her breathing evenly wa her eyes closed.
But at that moment, all consolation would be meaningless.
After closing her eyes, Liora dozed off and started dreaming.
In her dream, Fairy and Whitey appeared again, but this time, they were very far away.
No matter how much she wanted to get close to them, they remained out of reach.

Failing to catch up, she called anxiously, “Fairy, Whitey!” Her words made them disappear.
Afterward, she saw Kenny, drenched and startling her.
It made her widen her eyes.
She was moved and hurriedly caught up to him.
“Uncle Kenny!” +15 BONUS Her scream made Kenny turn.
At the sight of Liora, he smirked mischievously.
“Hey, Lia!” Instantly, Liora started crying profusely.
“Uncle Kenny... Oh, Uncle Kenny... She ran to Kenny, but he pulled away when she extended her hands.
“Lia, you can’t,” Kenny stopped her with a low tone.
Liora stared at Kenny in confusion–his face was full of water.
Liora sobbed and asked, “Why can’t I hug you?” Kenny squatted, and his gaze was level with Liora’s.
“It’s because, uhm... I’m gone.” “Gone...” Liara’s lips trembled.
“Does it mean you’re dead?” Pain painted Kenny’s eyes.
“Yeah, I’ve already left this world.” “No, I don’t believe it...” Liora didn’t stop crying as she tried to wipe away her tears.
“It’s not true...” Feeling sorry for her, Kenny sighed.
“Stop crying, Lia.
You should go looking for your Uncle Neil now.” Twitching, Liora asked, “Uncle Neil... Where is he...” Kenny shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not sure either because the river pulled us apart.” Liora fixed her gaze on Kenny.
“Uncle Kenny, can you guys not go... Mommy, Axel, Ty, and I are heartbroken.
Can you please stay?” Kenny’s eyes were red.

“Go and learn from Benjamin, Lia.
I’m sure you’ll be very powerful!” After that, he got to his feet.
“I should go now.” “Go?” Liora asked hurriedly, “Where are you going?” “Well...” Kenny lowered his gaze bitterly.
“To the place I should go to.” He exhaled deeply afterward.
“But I don’t regret my prayers though the price was too great.” He was satisfied as long as Caroline was alive,
