9/14/19 6:23 pm

Selena's face was full of happiness as Kenned was crown as King and she was crown as Queen but happiness was cut short when a news came.

She stared at the blank space looking gloomily as ever. Her temper turn indifferent as she want to struggle and break into pieces a certain system. Yue unconsciously static in fear of his host. She was on the verge of blackening again.

Since when?

[Host. I'm sorry, I didn't inform you that since child. The body you had been occupying had a congenital heart disease but since the body is healthy it was undetectable even by science to that point]

Oh really? She said calmly but her tone carried an ominous feeling toward Yue. Wait, since when he could feel anything?

yes. With that, the headquarters are willing to compensate you by making all the remaining missions completed]

Selena didn't said anything. She just continue to caressed her round belly as tears fell in her eyes. A sad smile crossed her lips, it seems that happiness wasn't for her after all.

That night, Kenned came to their bedroom. He kiss her forehead as he smile at her. She hugged him as she snuggle to his side. She now that he can read her very clearly. "What is it?"

"If near in the future, you and our child fell in a very dangerous situation and you need to choose. Whom would you like me to choose?"

They both fell in long silence as he soothed her long hair. "If that happened, please choose our child,"

Selena smiled thoughtfully as she pulled his hand and put it in her belly. Both of them caressed it while exchanging a meaningful smile. Her words held meaning but unrecognizable to his ears. "Please. Be a good father to them as I'll be a good mother to them too,"

He pulled her in his embrace but making sure there was enough space for her belly. She use his arms as her pillow as she sigh in comfort. It was breaking that just in months she need to left this man again after a month. In the middle of the night she was still wide awake, she caressed his hair, tracing his mouth, eyes and nose.

"In the next lifetimes I'll make sure. You would feel what love is through me,"

After a month, a scream of woman can be heard in a hospital room. The nurses and doctor can't help but fell in panic upon seeing that the heartbeat monitor has been rising abnormally. Selena screams became hoarse when the first child came out, it cost almost her consciousness but she stayed still intact. She need to still deliver the other one or it will die along with her. She can feel the intense pain in her heart but she endure it for the sake of her baby.

"Doctor her heartbeat is gradually became slower!" the nurse panic.

Selena take her remaining courage before pushing the second baby out of her womb. "Two boys!" they all shouted in happiness. But the story wasn't end to that, as the nurses rush the babies to her side. She took a short glances at them, she smiled as sweat dropped in every corner of her face. She close her eyes and drew her last breath, painfully but peacefully.
