Chapter 218 - My Death Can End Part 1
RECOMMENDED SONG: Arcade By Duncan Lawrence ~?
The announcement shuddered Jasmine who was indulged in coaxing her new born baby. Her eyes shot up in fear and right away, all the earlier happiness had completely faded away like a sudden wave of ocean leaving only traces of unspeakable fears. Her hold on her baby's tiny figure subconsciously tightened. She could feel her heart drumming like a hammer and her body felt more weakening than before.
Even the midwife and maids had exchanged meaningful glances and left her side considerably. Jasmine panicked more when she was left alone inside the room but she knew that she had to face it now or then.
The large door was creaked open following up a familiar sound of footsteps walked in slowly. The maids quickly left after giving short bow hastily and closed the door off from outside gently.
Oscar kept staring at her fearful face blankly. She still had traces of exhaustion that probably happened due to being in long labour. His unfathomable eyes dropped down blankly and fell on the child in her arms. His gaze had no emotions thus it was difficult to assume that what was he feeling exactly.
Jasmine felt her own breathing hitched under his scornful gaze. He was looking exceptionally calm as if it was a signal before storm. Jasmine sucked a deep breath and muttered nervously,
" Milord, you come.. back.. Look..look..at our son.."
Oscar didn't answer back immediately and lifted up his eyes dangerously. His mouth parted open slightly and a hoarse voice came out,
" He isn't..my son..How many times I have to correct you?"
Jasmine bite down her bottom lips and hold back her tears that were threatening to fall down. She sniffed and rebuked courageously,
" At least.. he.. he has..your blood.."
" Shut Up! ", Oscar roared beastly and gave Jasmine a ferocious look which seemed one kind of hell in earth. Grinding his teeth together in rage, Oscar emphasized each words harshly,
" If you haven't stolen my blood, nothing would have happened, Jasmine. You used my blood to create this monster, how dare you ask me to accept him as my nominal son? He will only bring disaster in my kingdom and I am not going to let this happen."
He sneered looking cold and resumed,
" Since he is born, let me deal with him."
" No! ", Jasmine shouted loudly and clutched the baby in her arms tightly. Breathing rapidly, she sutured pleadingly,
" Milord, look at him. He is our son. Although he came in this world from magic, he still has our bloodline. How can you be so cruel to him? I promise that I will teach him to be good and generous. He won't behave like demon ever. I will teach him personally."
Unfortunately her words had no impact on Oscar who was already heading on her way. His footsteps were full of rage as he replied back coldly,
" Even if you give all of your love, he will still be Demon, Jasmine. Do you think that you can change his instincts? Your love wouldn't stand a chance against his evil powers. I better destroy him before he destroys my family and kingdom. You have already paid enough for his sake. If he didn't live in your womb, I would have killed him long back."
Oscar declared and snatched the baby from her arms harshly. Jasmine shouted hysterically and directly fell on her knees after jumping down from the bed.
She hugged his knees and begged crying desperately,
" I beg you..I beg you.. Milord..He isn't in fault..It was me who brought him in this world.. Please punish me however you want..but leave him for my sake..He is still an innocent baby..He is.."
Her words didn't get completed this time. Before she could finish off, the flower vase from a corner suddenly fell down on the floor without any reason. Jasmine's face turned horrified again and saw Oscar looking at the vase dangerously.
His raged eyes fell down on the baby whose face suddenly seemed so dark and cold. He knew that who had done this.
He shoved off from Jasmine's arms and roared with a sneer,
" That is it! That's how he is going to become a generous person. He isn't even a month old yet already started fearing people. Jasmine, you are too naive to believe in his evil powers."
After speaking his last words, Oscar turned around and started to head outside. Jasmine cried out loudly and stumbled up to stand saying,
" Milord.. don't take him away from me..I..I swear that you will regret.."
Oscar halted in his track and turned around to face her blankly. A flash of disbelief could be seen in his expression. His mouth curved up into a self mockery and told,
" So you are now abandoning your whole family for his sake? What did you mean by regret? I would like to see what your demon son can do to me."
Oscar once again turned around to leave ignoring her pathetic cry. Jasmine suddenly stopped crying as her eyes fell on the fruit knife stucked inside an apple.
She wiped her tears off stubbornly and pulled out the knife from that apple. Looking up at his retreating back, she smiled faintly and suddenly called him out coldly,
" Milord! "
Oscar paused in his track again and felt an omnious feeling arousing up inside the room. Turning around, his expression stiffened almost instantly when he saw the sharp knife on Jasmine's hand.
Jasmine swallowed hard and took a glimpse of little Cedric in his arms. Curling up her lips into a bitter smile, she muttured painfully,
" I hope that my death can end the hatred between you and him."
Oscar startled and let out a loud scream,
" Jasmine..No..Jas.."
Oscar froze in his spot without saying a word. Without giving him any chance to speak, Jasmine smiled and cut off her own tongue with the knife.
A huge amount of blood quickly flowed out from her pale skin. Her body fell down on the floor with a thud. Inside the room, only a loud wailing of baby buzzed like a mournful cry.
