BXBX NOVEL Chapter 611 Another Life
"We can no longer communicate with you like this, Xenia. This will be the last time we\'ll ever get to talk like this. We have a lot of things to fix within Eferia. And as much as it pains us, Helena will be in your hands now," Devas explained.
"She will never regain her past memories, such is the price of doing something forbidden. Please take care of her. Let her start a new life. Give her a new name, and don\'t ever mention anything to her about Eferia or her involvement in it." He let out one last sigh before he ended, "We\'ll contact you again as soon as everything returns to normal inside our realm…"
Before Xenia could even ask for more details, the vision had already disappeared. From what she just heard, it looked like the Realm of Eferia was currently encountering a few more problems than it would normally have. Still, if they didn\'t have the time to talk, who was she to judge? She would just have to hold onto the good news she had for her friends about her pregnancy. As much as she would like to tell them about it, now was clearly not the right time.
Letting out another sigh, Xenia shrugged before quickly walking back to Helena\'s room.
"How is she?" she asked Aurelia.
"Physically, she\'s fine, Your Grace," Aurelia promptly replied. "Everything\'s fine with her, really. All except for how she lost her past memories…"
Xenia nodded. Right, Devas had already told her about why Helena lost her past memories. Having heard all that she could get, she dismissed Aurelia, the latter returning to her preparations for all of the medicines Helena would need for her recovery.
Watching Aurelia leave once more, Xenia then turned to Helena, the woman looking confused as she sat at her bedside.
"I… I don\'t know who I am…" Helena weakly murmured, staring at Xenia as if she would find the answers she was looking for if she stared at her longer.
Xenia let out a loud exhale before grabbing Helena\'s hand and squeezing it gently, allowing her friend to feel the comfort and warmth she was trying to provide her.
"It doesn\'t matter, dear. What\'s important is that you now have another life to be thankful for," she reassured the former guardian. "You\'re alive and well now, and it doesn\'t matter who you were in the past. You can simply make new memories for yourself in the future and enjoy the second life our Almighty has given you. If you don\'t know who we are, we were the ones who found you injured and on the brink of death. You can treat us as your family if you want. In fact, treat me like a sister. You can call me Xenia. Later, once you\'ve fully recovered, I\'ll introduce you to my husband and the others."
"But what if… I… Uhm… I don\'t even know my name…" Helena weakly murmured with snapped brows.
"We\'ll take things slowly, alright? Don\'t rush yourself. Just focus on your recovery first," Xenia warmly reassured her. She then smiled as she suggested, "In the meantime, how about I give you a temporary name? How about I call you Lena? Is that fine with you? Or do you think you can come up with a better name for yourself? We can go with anything you want…"
In truth, she couldn\'t think of any other name except for something close to her original name. But if Helena wanted something else, she\'d readily accept it.
"Lena\'s fine with me, Xenia…" Helena replied with a faint smile. "Thank you for your kindness. Even though you don\'t know who I am and what kind of a person I might be, you still helped me…"
Xenia gave her another reassuring smile as she replied, "Whatever it was, your past doesn\'t matter. It will be who will decide who you want to be from now on, Lena."
Soon, Aurelia returned once more to help Lena. Bearing the concoction she prepared, the healer made her patient drink it in small sips.
"This medicine will help you relax," Aurelia explained.
She then discussed the medicines\' effects and required dosages with the servants Xenia had assigned to take care of Lena. Before long, everyone was up to speed with what they were supposed to do.
"I feel dizzy," Lena suddenly breathed out.
"I\'ll leave you so that you can have a proper rest then," Xenia quickly remarked. She then gestured to the servants and added, "They\'ll be staying here to take care of you, Lena, so don\'t hesitate to ask them for any help and assistance you might need, alright?"
Lena weakly nodded, and Xenia took that as her cue to leave the room to give the weak woman the rest she needed.
[I can feel you getting exhausted, my love,] Darius suddenly told her through their Mate Bond. [Please don\'t make me worry like this. I sent you back there so you can rest and get enough sleep…]
[I will. I\'m now on my way to our chamber now,] Xenia answered. [I just let Helena stay in the other chamber for now so that I can closely monitor her situation.]
She then promptly explained all that she received from Polo and Devas regarding Helena\'s current situation. By the time she was done, Darius hummed as he digested the information.
[I can easily give her a proper identity, but it would be best if it would be close to us. How about I give Calypso a new sister?] Darius suggested. [That way, she can use our family name and enjoy the privileges a Grant could have. That\'s the best I can do for her, however, since we have laws pertaining to the royal family and bearing the crown. It would be impossible to legally make her my sister.]
[That\'s more than enough, my love,] Xenia reassured him with a grateful smile. [Let\'s just finalize everything once you get back. I\'ll be discussing this matter with Calypso tomorrow morning then. It\'s important that we get his opinion and approval on this matter first before we decide on anything else.]
Reaching their shared room, Xenia tiredly laid her body on the soft mattress and sighed deeply. Staring up at the ceiling, she asked, [How\'s the search? How\'s Bella?]
Darius didn\'t reply, but already got her answer based on his weary emotions. There was obviously no good news to be had yet.
[There\'s nothing, Xen. Not a single piece of information that could indicate Osman\'s trail,] Darius sighed. [Bella is always hysterical whenever nothing came up, which meant Jayra had to always put her back to sleep for her own good. Still, I won\'t stop the search no matter what… We already called for more help that could check even further down the river, but nothing substantial came from it just yet.]
[Sirens then?] she quickly burst out as she sat up. Sirens were cunning, and asking them for help was always too bothersome.
[Don\'t worry, Xen. I have friends among the sirens that we can trust. Some of them studied at Mount Sorell as well,] Darius reassured her with a light chuckle. [I\'ll introduce you to them once everything\'s settled down… For now, try focusing on yourself and our babies, alright? We want our pups all well and good before your due date, and I heard that a human\'s emotions have a lot of effects on pregnancy.]
[Pups? Are you saying I\'ll have more than one right now inside me?] Xenia scoffed. [Also, I have angel blood in me, remember? I\'m not purely human, so stop worrying too much…]
[Hmm… Well, I\'m not sure either, but I somehow smell two other scents around you,] Darius hummed. [Knowing that, maybe there\'s more than one baby?]
Xenia unconsciously touched her belly as her lips stretched wide. [Ah, I hope you\'re right then, my love! I would love to have twins!]
