~ Three Months Later ~
Tristan and Zhen-Zhen tried their best to move on after losing Zu Wan with the help of the Davis Family. It had been three months since Zu Wan disappeared.
Zhen-Zhen focused on teaching Tristan how to control his power. Until now, he couldn't summon FaMo.
Tristan almost burned their condo unit so they found a place where he could practice controlling his power. It was a private villa near Leo's villa. The land there was very wide. He could do anything he wanted without worrying about setting a house on fire.
Today, Tristan had another practice together with Miho while Zhen-Zhen went to Fiery Eagles' Headquarters to visit Liam. He hadn't regained his consciousness yet. He was in a coma for three months.
Leo was there inside the ward when Zhen-Zhen arrived. The beeping sound of the health monitor and apparatus could be heard as soon as she entered the room.
Zhen-Zhen's eyes dimmed, feeling sad for Liam. Though his condition already improved, he still remained unconscious. They didn't know what they should do to heal Liam.
Dos already made different tests and experiments but the result was the same. They failed to awaken Liam. They just continued injecting him with different supplements and medicines that could make his physical body healthy.
Zhen-Zhen was greeted by Leo. "Lillie, why are you here? You should be staying at home. Anytime you might give birth to your twins."
Zhen-Zhen smiled faintly, pressing her hand over her round tummy. It was so big now. Everyone was already looking forward to the day she would give birth to the twins.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince the husband and wife were still affected by Zu Wan's disappearance, Tristan chose to delay their wedding ceremony. They would just wait for the twins to be born.
"Don't worry about me, Leo. I just want to check Liam's condition. I'm strong and healthy. I am also prepared for giving birth to my children."
Leo just nodded his head. "Okay, Lillie. I will just go out so that you can have your privacy with Liam."
"Thank you, Leo… thank you for staying by his side…" Zhen-Zhen held Leo's hand. She felt grateful to him. For the past three months, Leo was the one taking care of Liam, watching over him every day.
"No need to thank me. Liam is my friend. And I owe him my life. Because of him… I was able to walk again. He healed my legs and he saved me from despair."
Zhen-Zhen tossed a look at Liam. Hearing those words from Leo, she knew that they were the same. Both of them owed Liam.
"I just hope… Liam will wake up soon." Zhen-Zhen softly mumbled with a hopeful look in her eyes.
"He will… I can feel it. Liam will wake up soon! Let's wait for him." Leo said cheerfully, being optimistic.
Zhen-Zhen just bobbed her head with a gentle smile on her lips. Soon, Leo left the room, allowing Zhen-Zhen to be alone with Liam.
She moved closer to Liam's bed. She reached out, touching and caressing his face. Liam looked like he was just peacefully sleeping.
"Liam… wake up now. Tristan is fine. We are patiently waiting for you to come back. You told us that you are no longer part of guardian warriors. But I want you to know that you are part of our family now."
Zhen-Zhen would always talk to Liam whenever she visited him. She would tell him some good news and share those happy moments that are happening outside his ward.
"Your students are already missing you. You should come back soon. My twins are about to be born. You will miss seeing them."
While Zhen-Zhen was talking to Liam, his body was becoming healthier than before. It seemed like her voice was some kind of medicine for him. His condition was improving because of Zhen-Zhen.
This time Liam's fingers suddenly moved. Zhen-Zhen gasped upon seeing them. "Liam?! Can you hear me? If you do, please move your fingers again."
Zhen-Zhen fixed her eyes on him, anticipating the movement of his fingers. For a long time, this was a good sign that Liam was responding to them. He could hear her.
Little did they know, the reason why Liam hadn't regained his consciousness yet was because of Mheera's curse. She cursed Zhen-Zhen using her soul but Liam took it on behalf of Zhen-Zhen.
The curse was transferred to Liam when Mheera attacked Zhen-Zhen using the divine dagger but it was Liam who got stabbed. Liam had awareness of his surroundings but he couldn't wake up nor open his eyes unless someone would break that curse.
He was like a sleeping beauty waiting for her prince charming to break the curse for her to wake up. That's Liam's current situation. But how to break the curse? No one knew!
After spending some time with Liam, Zhen-Zhen had decided to go. She had to see Tristan while practicing his fire control ability.
Zhen-Zhen said goodbye to Dos and the other members of Fiery Eagles. She had just come out of the headquarters when she felt her tummy ache.
Leo saw her at the entrance as he went out to have some cigarettes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Lillie?! Are you okay?" Leo ran in her direction when she saw her staggering and she looked in pain.
Zhen-Zhen glanced up at him, her forehead covered with beads of sweat.
"My tummy… it's aching!" Zhen-Zhen held onto him tightly.
Leo suddenly panicked after hearing that. "Oh my God! Don't tell me you are giving birth today?"
The first thing that came into his mind was to call the members of the Fiery Eagles. "Wait here, Lillie. I will just inform Dos. I hope they have a birthing clinic here!"
She just nodded her head as a response.
Watching his back, Zhen-Zhen tried to steady her footings when Leo called the others. She could still manage the pain so she was able to contact Miho through their mind link.
'Miho, what are you doing?'
'Tristan and I are still practicing in the field. Is there something wrong?'
'I think… I'm going to give birth today… please tell Tristan.'
'What?! Giving birth?! Wifey??! Where are you?' Tristan suddenly interrupted their conversation.
Zhen-Zhen and Miho were surprised when Tristan was now able to communicate through a mind link.
