Chapter 20

"how is the procedure going?" King Alastair asked sternly and glanced at his son through the glass.

"He's steady, your highness. Completely passed out a minute ago and he is about to wake up. We are preparing the machine."

The man said and yelled out some orders at the rest of his team.

The king nodded and waited, his eyes fixed on Canton.

"I detect movement. His eyes are opening. Press the button now. I'm starting the recording." The scientist yelled out and pressed a button himself.

Alastair placed three of his fingers under his chin and started rubbing at it, expectantly. "Come on, don't fail me, kid" He mumbled under his breath.

ERROT

I slowly opened my eyes and rubbed at them so hard I almost felt like I blinded myself.

I stared sleepily at the mid closed curtain and the light that managed to seep through the window.

I sat up on my bed when I felt something slightly heavy on my legs.

I frowned and looked down only to see a small box.

My frown got deeper at that.

I looked around me but no one was here, the door that connects my room to Canton's only a tiny bit opened.

I took the box in my hands and opened it carefully.

My eyes widened at the sight of a brand new phone inside it.

I felt completely taken aback.

The only person that knows my phone was shattered is the one that shattered it.

And there is no way in hell that this person would actually buy me a new one.

I took the phone out of the box and pressed the home button, waiting for it to explode on me or something.

It didn't.

The screen lit up and the first thing that appeared when I unlocked it was the notes app.

I pressed at the only note that was written in there.

'I need to be aware of your location every single time of the day when I'm not with you. My # is added.'

I blinked again.

And then I smirked.

A brand new phone.

I own a brand new phone.

I got up with the phone in my hand and was ready to go see if he was in his room when I heard someone walk in there.

"Morning."

Elvina.

I furrowed my eyebrows and stepped closer to the door, careful not to make any noise.

Canton didn't reply apparently.

"Did you get any sleep?" She asked, her voice serious.

"Three hours tops. Then it happened. I woke up. Stayed awake since." Canton sounds tired.

I heard her sigh. "Canton... you're gonna exhaust yourself again." Her voice softened a bit.

"I shouldn't have listened to you. It gets harder to stay awake for days after you actually get a small amount of sleep..I knew that, how could I be so stupid." He mumbled the last sentence.
