Chapter 0168
Silver's POV
When I opened my eyes, I was back in the examination room. I blinked a few times to adjust my eyes to the new lighting but then my eyes found a familiar set of gorgeous eyes staring back at me and my heart nearly melted at the sight of him. "Hey," Elliot breathed as he cupped my face with his warm and inviting hands. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm okay," I assured him. "I was just tired."
He brought his lips to mine and gave me a chased kiss. I breathed in his incredible scent and basked in the warmth of his body. I hadn't realized how badly I missed him until this very moment. I know I've only been apart from him for a little while, but it felt like an eternity. He pressed his forehead against mine and inhaled deeply, taking in my scent.
"I've been worried about you," he whispered. "I don't like being away from you."
I smiled and lifted my gaze to meet his.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"I don't like being away from you either," I admitted. "I'm glad that you are here now, though. Did you talk to Shirley?"
He sighed and released his hold on my face so he could run his fingers through his hair.
"Yes," he murmured. "She's in the dungeon right now, but she said something about your brother being after revenge."
Something about what he had said jogged my memory from when I was asleep. I gasped and nearly jumped away from him when the Moon Goddess's face came into my mind. He frowned and narrowed his eyes at me, confused by my sudden reaction. "What is it? What's wrong?"
"I met the Moon Goddess," I whispered hoarsely, meeting his eyes.
His brows shot up so high that they blended with his hairline.
"What do you mean you met the Moon Goddess?" He asked, his brows pinched together.
"She came to me in a dream," I explained. "She told me that I'm the savior that restores the world from my brother's destruction. He's planning something I'm terrified of what that means."
He nodded almost thoughtfully as he processed my words.
"Maybe he revealed it to you and that was why he erased your memories," he suggested.
I shook my head.
"No, I think he erased my memories to prove a point. He wanted you to choose Shirley over me. He was so sure that you would throw me to the wolves if you thought I was nothing more than a rogue. You almost did toss me aside, but you didn't..."
"I wouldn't have," he said quickly. "I would have figured it out way before that."
I nodded. I knew he would have; that was exactly what I also told Erik.
"There's something else that the Moon Goddess told me, Elliot," I said, grabbing his arm to draw his attention. "What is it?" He asked.
"She said that you're in danger," I told him. I decided not to tell him the part about him being my mate. I wanted that part to be a surprise and plus, I was still having trouble believing that to be real. I wanted to make sure before I gave him any type of hope.
"In danger how?" He asked, his tone hardening.
"She said something about my brother being after revenge. I guess your family had something to do with his hardships. He's after your entire family. I guess you and your sister."
He was about to say something more but then the door swung open, and Charlotte ran into the room, followed by Dr. Scott.
"I have the potion that'll restore your memories," Charolette says as she stands on the other side of the bed. She held up a syringe filled with a salmon-colored liquid. I crinkled my nose at the strange shade.
"Is it safe?" Elliot was the one who asked as he protectively stood in front of me.
I smiled at his protectiveness.
"Of course, it's safe," Charlotte said, folding her arms across her chest. "I would never betray you, Elliot. You're my brother."
He nodded, but his eyes never left the syringe that Charolette held firmly in her hands.
"And this will restore her memories without damaging anything?" He asked her. She rolled her eyes; having had enough of his questioning.
"I already explained to her the process. It'll be very uncomfortable, and maybe even painful. But it's safe and she will be fine. Once she gets her memories back, we will know for certain what her brother wants and maybe even where we can find him," she assured him. Content, belongs to FindNovel
He thought about it for a moment longer before nodding slowly. He stepped aside and looked down at me. I could see the worry clear in his eyes and I found myself giving him a small smile to reassure him that I was going to be okay.
