She teleported back after ensuring that Viktor would not be able to escape on the island to hurt his uncle. She hurriedly approached the unconscious man and was horrified when she saw what Viktor did to him. He had several deep and nasty wounds in different parts of the body. The face was also disfigured and now beyond recognition! He was bathing in his blood and now his blue imperial clothes turned dark red after absorbing too much blood! 

She felt a strong anger inside her heart after seeing the monstrosity that happened to him! She could not believe that Viktor would be very violent and merciless to the man who raised him and loved him like a real father. 

"Aiden! Aiden! Wake up!" She tried calling his name several times but he remained unconscious.

This time, the anger was easily replaced by great fear when she found out that he was no longer breathing! Her eyes were misty and she began to tremble when his soul started to separate from the body... 

Seeing someone die was not an unusual occurrence to her but at that time, it felt like she was witnessing it for the first time. She was shaking and cold was all over her body. Her heart was racing uncontrollably and her mind was so chaotic! Her hands trembled as she used her energy to force his soul to settle and attach to his body again. It was a very risky procedure, especially in her state of mind then. Instead of healing him, she might obliterate him if she loses her focus and control!

After successfully securing the soul inside his body, she cleansed the blood and returned it inside his body before ultimately healing all the wounds at the same time. Everything returned to its original state. No blood, no wounds, not even a small scar. Even the damage to his clothes created by the dagger was all gone. There was no trace of the incident that could be found now. It was like everything was just a nightmare... 

She cuddled him and whispered to him, "Aiden, please wake up! You must wake up now! All your wounds are healed... Even your face..." 

The man slowly opened his eyes and stared at her for a minute before saying, "You are so pale... And why are you crying?" He reached for her cheek to dry her tears. 

"Why didn't you fight back?! Why did you just let him stab you, disfigure you, and kill you?!!" She angrily scolded him and was tempted to hit him for scaring the hell out of her. 

He chuckled and teased her, "So you want me to hurt our baby?" 

"Viktor is no longer a baby! You said it yourself!" She hurriedly replied and tossed him angrily to the ground.

Before his back hit the ground, he hurriedly clung to her body and appeased her, "Psi, don't be mad... Okay, I will kick his bucket next time!"

"No! I want you to fight back but do not hurt him!" She explained and let the man cling to her like a Koala.

"Now I'm confused. How am I going to fight back and not hurt him?"

"I don't know... Just prevent him or other people from hurting you! Don't let anyone hurt you!" She angrily wiped off her tears but the tears fell once again when the image of what happened to him earlier returned to her mind. 

"What is it this time?" He was confused about why she would get angry and then cry the next second. 

"Aiden... "

"Yes...? What is it?"

"You must promise me one thing... "

"What? "

"Don't let anyone kill you!" 

"What if Viktor comes back? That lad is very stubborn. "

"He can't. I imprisoned him on the island. He can't go anywhere now... "  She sadly informed him.

"B-But what if... "

This time, she smacked his head and glared fiercely, "Did he also stab your brain, huh?!! Remember this, Emperor Aiden of Sky Empire! If you must die, you can only die of old age! Remember that! That's an order!!!"

"Yes! Yes! Why do you have to be so violent?" He complained and gently rubbed his aching and dizzying head. Next, he decided to lie on the ground to rest and gaze at the beautiful stars which reminded him once again of her magnificence.

"Psi..."

"What?"

"The stars are so beautiful... Come here. Join me. "  It seems that facing death can make a person more courageous. He waited for her anger to show up but it did not happen.

She quietly lay down beside him and used his arm as a pillow while looking at the same constellation he was gazing at.

He was surprised she did not get mad and even joined him on the ground. Her warmth and fragrance positively assaulted his senses.

"Aiden... It was so strange..."

"Why?"

"The stars did not look very interesting before but now, they are so amazing!"

"Psi... Are you close to your Celestial Father?"

"Yes. We are...We have a very special  connection since the beginning."

"So you could communicate with him anywhere and anytime?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Can you establish a way for me to talk to him?"

"What?!! No. No. No. I am going to get into trouble! No way!!! "

"Psi, it is more likely that he already knew about me..."

"Of course! He knew everyone!" 

"Then introduce me to your Celestial Father! Please... " He begged and then used his charming smile to convince her.
