Incompatible Interspecies Wives

Chapter 168: Hidden Truths (4)

As Berg bid his final farewell, all strength seemed to leave Ner's body.

Overwhelmed with tears, she collapsed, unable to breathe properly.

Gidon Blackwood, who had been blocking her path, quickly moved to support his astonished sister.

"Ner!"

Berg flinched reflexively at the sight.

It seemed like he was forcibly suppressing his instincts.

Arwin was observing the entire scene.

Through Berg's reaction, Arwin spoke.

"...See..."

"..."

"...Your body still wants to stay with us..."

No matter how much one tries to disguise the truth with words, the body remains honest.

Arwin wanted to believe there was still affection towards her.

As long as that affection existed, no relationship was beyond repair.

She wanted to believe they could return to their past relationship.

This couldn't be a farewell with someone like Berg.

She couldn't part ways with such a brilliant existence with such a short lifespan.

Every passing moment was too precious to waste.

"..."

Berg didn't bother to refute Arwin's words.

Instead, he just confirmed that Gidon was safely supporting Ner and turned away.

Arwin, not giving up, followed Berg.

No matter how far he walked away, Arwin just needed to get closer.

Arwin was prepared to follow him to the ends of the earth.

However, there was a noticeable difference in stride between a man and a woman.

Berg quickened his pace, as if he wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

The members of the Red Flames group also quickly vanished, following his lead.

Arwin had to almost run to keep up with Berg.

It was not easy to do so while wiping away her flowing tears.

"Berg....where are you going..."

She asked, knowing he was leaving her.

The members of the Celebrien family followed Arwin, who was chasing after Berg.

"Where are you going, leaving me behind...!"

"...Theodore."

Hearing her voice, Berg, as if he couldn't endure it any longer, called out to Theodore.

Theodore nodded at Berg and turned towards Arwin.

His tightly clenched lips and strained expression revealed that he, like Berg, was struggling.

But perhaps it was because they had spent the past few months together that he acted this way.

"...Arwin-nim. Please, stop now..."

Arwin, without hesitation, extended a hand towards Theodore who was trying to stop her.

At the same time, she cast a spell on him, a defensive magic she learned from Sylphrien.

A spell to disrupt balance.

"...Ugh."

Theodore didn't fall but was momentarily immobilized by the magic.
