“By the way, Mackenzie, about the Heart of the Sun-”
In the next instant, Emmanuel was reminded of the most pivotal matter.
Yet, Mackenzie gently grasped his large hand with her jade-like, delicate hand before he could act impulsively. She spoke, “You’ve suffered severe external injuries and poisoning. So, Mr. Payne rushed you to the health center in Anchortown. They changed your clothes during your treatment, and Mr. Payne has handed me the stone.” NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
“That’s good!” Emmanuel breathed a sigh of relief. That stone was the cornerstone of the Quillen family and was associated with numerous deaths. It was very significant.
Then, Mackenzie took the initiative to ask, “Queenie’s body is still in Anchortown. What do you plan to do?”
Tsk tsk! It’s a sensitive topic!
On the side, Beatrix quickly blinked her large eyes at her brother-in-law, hinting that he better answer carefully. A wrong response could quickly turn this into a life-or-death situation!
However, Emmanuel showed no signs of nervousness. On the contrary, he honestly replied, “Queenie was my childhood friend, my in-game wife, and she died because of me. So, I want to personally bring her body back to Hero’s Village for burial.”
Beatrix widened her eyes, thinking, What a clueless fool my brother-in-law is. Is he not afraid of making my sister angry?
Mackenzie was indeed a little irritated. She could understand Emmanuel’s grief, but she hadn’t expected him to express it so openly. Did he not consider her his wife, or did he hold her in too high regard?
Oh well, let’s assume it’s the latter!
Since her husband believed she was magnanimous, she should act that way,
way, right?
“Did she die trying to save you?” Mackenzie asked.
Emmanuel shook his head, casting a glance at her. He smiled wryly and said, “No, quite the opposite. She died trying to save Magnus, and I accidentally killed her.”
He went on to narrate the circumstances and their shared past.
Mackenzie listened silently while Beatrix couldn’t hold back her tears and cried uncontrollably.
Queenie had harbored a secret love for a man but never dared to confess due to her background. In the end, she could only witness, with heartache, his marriage to another woman. He also turned her away with no hint of remorse. How utterly tragic and heartbreaking it was!
If Beatrix were Queenie, she’d likely shatter under the weight of it all.
“Mackenzie, Queenie is so pitiful! Let Manuel take her back, okay?” Beatrix, who had previously been wary of and hostile toward Queenie, now spoke up for her. If she had known the truth earlier, she wouldn’t have stood against Queenie for her sister.
“Emmanuel, I’ll accompany you back to Hero’s Village, too.” Mackenzie agreed, not only allowing Emmanuel but also deciding to accompany him to put an end to Queenie’s tragedy.
As Beatrix observed this unexpected turn of events, she widened her eyes as if she had seen a ghost. She never expected her sister to possess this compassionate side. It was almost too heartwarming to believe!
“Thank you, Mackenzie!” Emmanuel expressed his gratitude with a smile.
“You fool, what are you thanking for?” Mackenzie pretended to glare at him coldly. Her foolish husband and sister seemed to make her look like someone who loved to be jealous and angry.
Right then, more people entered the room.
Leading the way were Terence and Alfred, followed by Sage and Ashton.
“Emmanuel, you’re awake? That’s fantastic!” Terence exclaimed, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Alfred secretly marveled at Emmanuel’s resilience. Even in his prime, Alfred doubted he could wake up so swiftly from such serious injuries. This guy’s natural talents were extraordinary!
Ashton, who had witnessed Emmanuel’s condition during the battle, was even more amazed. This guy not only has a robust physique but also an incredible willpower! The reputation of the Northern Region Wolf Warrior was well-deserved. No wonder even her boss, Sage, admired him so much!
“Yeah, Mr. Terence. I’m all good!” Emmanuel smiled in response.
Then, Sage quickly took the next moment to give Emmanuel a brief rundown of the situation. “Magnus got away. Due to his status and the Zelinsky family backing him, nailing him without solid evidence will be tough. Avery got caught. She took responsibility for everything. I have no idea how Magnus brainwashed her into being so devoted. Quinn and Felix are in custody. Dustin didn’t make it. By the way, Snake Master helped detoxify you just now. Otherwise, you probably wouldn’t have made it here.”
To keep Emmanuel’s identity under wraps, Sage spoke businesslike and refrained from addressing him as the boss.
