Free Web NovelChapter 1297: Chapter 1336: The Real Reason
His phoenix eyes slowly opened, "What if I’ve never lived well? What if I say, in this world, the only person who can save me is you? Do you know why in the Kinston Family’s Ancestral Hall, among all those memorial tablets, only a small portion has their partner’s tablet next to them, while most tablets are solitary? And for those Kinston Family members whose tablets have no other surname beside them, not a single one has lived past 45."
Mabel Quinn froze, surprise flashing across her face. She really didn’t know that those Kinston Family members on the tablets were all... so early departed... 45 years old? If we were talking about ancient times when people’s average lifespan was short, maybe it would be normal, but if it’s in modern times... with medical advancements, people’s lifespans have increased, if they still can’t surpass 45, then it seems strange.
"What do you mean by this?" Mabel Quinn asked, and at this moment, she inexplicably felt a sense of tension. Could it be... he was about to say that he also wouldn’t live past 45? But... how could that be, he seemed to be in very good health, moreover, he owns Falling City, even if he really gets sick, he could definitely find the world’s top doctors to treat him!
"Haven’t you always been curious, why every month, there’s always one night when I must spend it with you without leaving your side? Back then you asked me, and I said it was just Kinston Family’s kind of ritual." Kyle Kinston said.
Mabel Quinn pressed her lips. Yes, she had indeed been curious, but sometimes, when certain strange things become routine, she simply forgot to think much about them.
Thinking back now, even the time when she first reunited with him in G City, and when he made her change her flight tickets and arrive in Falling City, there was one night, he insisted on holding her hand through the entire night.
But at that time, all she could think about was how to leave him, she never really thought much about this matter.
"So, are you planning to tell me the real reason now?" she asked.
"Yes, the real reason..." His voice was tinged with self-mockery, "Do you know? In this world, there are people who bear a Blood Curse, every Full Moon night, this curse flares up, causing immeasurable pain, a fate worse than death."
Mabel Quinn was taken aback, his words were just like a fairy tale, but... Full Moon nights? She suddenly recalled, that seemingly every time he needed to spend a night closely with her, it was indeed a Full Moon night.
And his voice continued saying even more astonishing things, "But this pain is not without remedy, there are people called life-bound, who can relieve this pain. Yet each person bearing this pain will only ever have one life-bound, no one knows who their life-bound is, what they look like, or where they will appear, it can only rely on luck to find them. If found, they will cling to each other for life, if not..." His voice paused, his long lashes trembled slightly, "then whenever they can no longer bear the pain, that’s when they end it themselves."
Mabel Quinn was stupefied, she thought of his so-called mysterious illness, thought of how he seemed in agony whenever his illness flared up, and also remembered how every time it flared up, as long as he came into contact with her, everything seemed fine.
