Chapter Four

I regret leaving Charles.

Every 5 minutes, My Phone would begin to vibrate and I had to keep myself from growling too much, Especially not in front of my father.

His texts were just consists of:

' When will you go home '

' I'm hungry and I can't cook for myself '

' I'm lonely '

Yeah, Those are what he texted, It's not true that he is alone, Cause, From the hunches I've heard from my apartment neighbors, Charles would bring a guy inside of our Apartment everytime I leave for the evening.

I wouldn't think it's Harvey, Harvey loves his job as a lifeguard, So pretty much, He's there 24/7.

Anthony? Nah, He doesn't really go out that much, I noted, Cause, Let's just say he's part of some Agricultural shit, He's a leader on it too.

I sighed and rubbed my muzzle as I place my phone back in my pocket, Looking at my sleeping dad, So far, It's been 4 Days, He had been eating those vegetable soup and dishes, I'm happy that his color seems to be back.

Right now, It's friggin' Three In the morning, Nick had asked me If I can guard my father to refrain him from doing stuff, To which I agreed since Nick is in need to buy more food.

I yawned slightly, I only got enough sleep, Plus, Nick said that If he will come back, I can go back to sleep.

Joy.

I heard a soft groan and shuffle, Making me blink out of my thoughts, I looked at my dad to see him awake, He just sat up and slightly smiled at me.

" Glad you didn't leave Firn. " He said.

" I'm planning to do it soon. " I replied, Looking at him sternly.

His happiness dropped and replaced with a deep frown. " Oh.. " He muttered, Disappointment at me leaving.

I mean, I needed to go back to my apartment to continue on with my life and pretend that my father doesn't exist after he is cured.

I know, I'm so mean.

Though, I blinked for a moment before looking back at him, He had his head bowed, Looking at his paws, I had this question lingering in my mind right now.

" Why did you get so sick?, I thought demons would never be affected with the illness, That's what you said to me. "

He raised his up to look at me before gulping hard.

" I was cursed.. " He replied.

" Cursed?, How so? "

He looked away at the window before explaining.

" Furcifel had cursed me for mating a mortal fur, His curse was quite hard to dodge, If I get to feel all sad and alone, I would get weak and eventually get sick and.. Well die, The moment you left me, I began to feel weak, I'm still glad that I managed to survive for four years cause of Nick. "

I frowned deeply, I didn't knew about this, So it was quite shocking and painful for me to take in, His only happiness was me and I had stupidity chose my subconscious' words that my father is just making rules to look my freedom away, But in reality, He was just doing it to keep me safe and sound, That's why he gave me what I wanted so that I would be happy.

He's happy when I'm happy.

" I'm sorry.. " I apologized, My voice was quiet, As If I'm going to cry cause of my stupid decisions.

" It's alright.. I already forgave you, I was rather harsh on implementing the rules.. " He said, His eyes still at the window, Watching the rain tainting the glass outside, Trickling sounds can be heard as it hit the glass.

I licked my lower lip and sighed, My ears flickering before sitting down at the foot of my father's king size bed.

" It's not okay.. I ran away from you and made you like this, Sick. " I said, Looking at him to which he looked at me with his concerned eyes.

" It's really fine, Really.. As long as you have your time here, You would leave sooner anyways. " He muttered sadly.

Now I'm having thoughts on whether I should stay or leave.

Stay, I would have the chance to bring our bondings back

Leave, I would forget most about him and move on, Until he die.

I frowned, These decisions..

Suddenly the Bedroom door creaked open, Revealing Nick in his Light Blue open hoodie, Revealing his pectorals and defined abs, He also wear a claw-ripped light blue jeans, He also held a rather large paper back in his paws, Backpack on his back and a Box of Letter on top of his head, Balancing it with his horns.

" Sorry to keep you waiting My Lords, I may or May have not stumbled to Keido, He gave me these kinds of vegetable for demons to which he found out on the internet, He also gave me this box, Full of Letters about your work and some get-well soon cards, I also brought some new medicine for demons and A Box of doughnuts for Lord Firn in my backpack " He said, Gently placing the paper bag with the vegetables in it on the chair where he sat yesterday, He gently grabbed the box balancing on his horns on his head, Walking over towards the bedside table, Placing it down just in the line of reach for my Father, He then grabbed the backpack, Slinging it forward so he can open it, He then pulled out a box of doughnuts, Walking over to me to which he bowed and handle it to me.

I clumsily took it slowly, Looking at the designs of the box before looking at Nick, Muttering a 'thank you', He nodded in response and proceeded to place the medicines on the medicine cabinet in my father's bathroom.

Afterwards, He eventually excused himself to change back to his armor he usually wear around the mansion.

I looked back at Jin, Who is asleep once again, I slowly crawled over to him and slowly leaned in, Giving his cheeks a kiss before hopping out of the bed rather quietly, Before muttering.

" I love you dad.. "

I then smiled, Heading out of the door.
