Chapter 359

When Keith reached the Mourntale Estate early in the morning, he was a little surprised to learn that a special guest was waiting for him.

Despite having sensed the guests, he still walked into the main compound. And headed straight to find the girls who had just returned from their morning walk.

"Samrath is here," Kashish informed him when he entered the room where the girls were gathered. "He's unconscious and his Shadow Guards brought him to see you."

"Oh. Where is he right now?" He asked, finding that Rebecca was not in the room.

"Resting inside a guest cottage." She informed him. "Rebecca checked him since you were not here."

"I see." He nodded and then smiled at the girls in the room before turning around to go and check on the Child of Destiny who had come to him as a patient this time.

"Lord Erebus!" The Shadow Guards of Arya bowed to him when he approached the cottage.

"Is he up?"

"Lady Hecate is still treating him." One of them shook his head.

"What happened?" He nodded and asked, and then listened to their accounts of the event.

Keith was a little amused in his heart at their words. Apparently, the loss of Sunaina had a bigger impact on Samrath than he anticipated.

Then again, the two were bound by invisible strings and were truly meant for each other. It would have been surprising if her loss had no impact on him.

After he listened to the old man tell him about Samrath's behaviour and state in the last few days, he finally entered the cottage and walked into the room where his dear wife was curiously inspecting the patient.

"How is he?" He asked, and Rebecca nodded to him.

"Physically, he's perfect. His mental state is a little chaotic as he is having some nightmares, but he is still fine and is in no danger. I am not quite sure what is wrong with him." She narrowed her eyes.

Rebecca had an idea about what was wrong with the patient, but it was not something she could speak about when people were listening.

"He's not in a coma and is only sleeping. He is still aware of the surroundings, and he can listen to us. However, he is seemingly forcing himself to stay in whatever dream he is having." She told the Shadow Guard who was in the room, an aged lady. "Though I can forcibly wake him up, it's better to let him wake up when he wants to."

"Thank you, Lady Hecate." The woman gratefully bowed to her.

Her assessment was only an assurance of what they all had found when they checked on their Young Lord. All of these Shadow Guards were the finest of Doctors in their own right, but Samrath's condition did take them by surprise as they failed to find the root cause of it.

"Do you want to give him a check-up?" Rebecca asked, and Keith nodded to her before he stepped forward, curiously inspecting Samrath's body.

The woman hopefully looked at him, expecting him to find the root cause of it, and when she saw him frown, she could not help but ask the question.

"Have you discovered the cause?"

"Yes." He nodded as he feigned a sigh. "Don't worry, he will be fine, and as Rebecca said, he will wake up in a few hours."

"What did Dr. Keith tell you?" He asked, cutting her off, and the old woman tensed up at his question. "Aunt Vidya, what did he say?" He stressed his words, and the old woman sadly lowered her head.

She hesitated if she should inform him what Lord Erebus had told them, but then took and deep breath and decided to tell him the truth.

"He believes that you have lost someone very close and special to you." Her heart tensed up when she saw a tear drip of out his eye, and she stepped forward, sitting by his side on the bed.

"Sunaina's gone." His voice cracked, and Vidya felt like someone had plunged a dagger into her heart when she sensed the pain in his voice.

"We don't know that yet. Old Bali has gone to check on things..."

Samrath shook his head at her words.

"She's gone, Aunt Vidya." He told her. "I can feel it." He painfully closed his eyes as his heart raced erratically.

It was not just a hunch, but Samrath could actually feel that Sunaina was dead.

The vitality of the treasure he possessed in his heart had suddenly diminished, returning to how it was before Sunaina and he had consummated their love.

At first, he did not know what was happening, but seeing Sunaina haunt his dreams as Samantha did, gave him an idea. And now Keith's words had ascertained it.

Vidya did not know how to console him, and she just stayed there, hugging him tightly, letting him shed all the tears he needed to.

All of them had understood it too that if what Lord Erebus told them was true, then the person whom their Young Lord had lost was likely Sunaina Ozell.

"Samrath." She suddenly called out to him as a bad premonition hit her. "Let's go back home..."

"No!" He resolutely cut her off, shaking his head. "We are staying. And we are going to make them pay for killing Samantha and Sunaina."

"Now is not the time. Let's go back home. We will come for them later." She advised, but he had already made up his mind.

"I am not going. If you want to, you can leave without me."

His words ached her heart and then she lowered her head, feeling helpless.

There was no way she was going to leave him alone.

She had raised him like her own child. How could she abandon him here when he planned on going against some very powerful enemies?

"We are going to meet Ozell." Samrath tried to get up, but Vidya grabbed him and put him back to bed, glaring at him.

"You are not getting out of bed, Young Lord." She resolutely told him. "Rest. We will wait to hear what Old Bali finds out, and then we will meet the Ozell if we have to."

Samrath could see that she would use force if he insisted on it, and he relented, allowing the weakness to creep in again. Soon he closed his eyes, hoping to fall asleep.

Another tear escaped the cornered his eye as his heart ached terribly, but he did find some solace in the caresses of Vidya, who stayed by his side, running her fingers through his hair.

The moment he drifted off to sleep, Samrath asked the Gods why they were being so cruel to him. It was getting too painful now.
