Chapter 660 A Dream Or A Memory?
Zu Wan was quick to react, catching Titania in his arms.
"Eva… Eva…" Zu Wan still called his wife\'s name as he could see Eva in Titania.
He immediately carried her in bridal style. He held her body tight and her bag as he used teleportation to go back home.
Ella was still inside her room when Zu Wan and Titania arrived at their house.
"Ella…" Zu Wan called her. A few seconds later, Ella came out of her room excitedly.
"Father, you are back!"
She was about to hug him when she noticed that he was carrying her mother.
"Mother?! What happened to her, Father?" Ella asked him worriedly.
"Don\'t worry, Ella. She is just fine. Where should I put her?"
Ella immediately ran to the other room, signaling Zu Wan to follow her.
"Father, put her inside this room."
Ella opened the door for them. Zu Wan followed her. Upon reaching the bed, Zu Wan put Titania down.
Ella helped him fix Titania\'s position on the bed. She placed her little hand over her forehead to check her temperature. Her mother was always doing it when she was feeling sick.
"Father, could you please help me get a basin of warm water on the faucet and a towel?"
Zu Wan just stood there, not sure about what he should do.
"Oh, never mind, Father. Just let me do it. Just stay here by my mother\'s side," Ella said before leaving the room.
Zu Wan sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes focused on Titania.
"She really looks like my Eva," Zu Wan mumbled before reaching out to touch her hair. He began stroking her head.
He could imagine how frightened Titania was a while ago. If he hadn\'t controlled himself, he should have killed those five men brutally without mercy.
He wanted to torture and punish those men further but he had no time to waste. Ella was left alone at home and Titania fainted. He had to go back immediately.
"I promise Ella that I will protect both of you while I am with you. I will not let other people hurt nor touch you," Zu Wan softly mumbled.
He had to admit that Eva\'s face was one of the reasons he wanted to protect them.
"Titania, who are you? Why do you have the same face as my wife? I can\'t understand. But I feel so close to you."
Zu Wan was still talking to Titania when Ella\'s little figure entered the room, holding a small basin filled with warm water. The towel was hooked on top of her right shoulder.
She put the basin on the bedside table and started wiping her mother\'s face with a towel and warm water.
Ella was done cleaning her mother\'s face when she noticed Zu Wan\'s shirt that was tainted by his own blood.
"Father! You are hurt! You\'re bleeding!" Ella gasped in surprise.
"It\'s not a big deal. I\'m just fine."
But Ella didn\'t believe him. She immediately pulled Zu Wan\'s hand.
"Come with me, father! Let\'s clean and treat your wound."
Ella asked Zu Wan to help her get the first aid kit in the drawer. He removed his shirt so that Ella could see his wound. It was just small because the bullet only grazed his skin.
He was so amazed seeing how a six-year-old kid knew how to take care of his wound. Ella cleaned his wound and covered it with bandages.
Zu Wan could tell that Ella was a very smart kid. She was a sweet and kind-hearted little girl. Too bad, she was being bullied by her own relatives.
Zu Wan subconsciously raised his hand, touching Ella\'s face. After that, he began stroking her hair.
"Good job, Ella. You are a big girl now."
There was a longing in Zu Wan\'s eyes. He hoped Zhen-Zhen was also there with him. He was certain that she would also grow as a sweet loving daughter.
He missed his daughter a lot. He could still remember their bonding time together in the forest and at the mountain.
He was teaching her to control her fire element power. He was letting her watch him as he went hunting wild boars. The two of them would fly high in the sky as this was Zhen-Zhen\'s favorite bonding time with her father.
While Ella was taking care of Zu Wan in the living room, something was happening inside Titania\'s room.
She began to sweat profusely. Her hands clutched on the bed sheets tightly and her breathing became erratic. She was dreaming about something.
She kept moving and thrashing around her bed. Her heart constricted and her head throbbed in pain as a fragment of memory flashed in her mind.
She saw a cave and a mountain. Then a stone coffin and bright lights. Her memory was fragmented.
Then her memory shifted into another memory. She saw a woman holding a golden dagger. She was drawing circles and symbols and continued chanting something.
She heard several voices resounding in her ears as if those words were being planted in her subconscious.
"Kill the demon god. Kill him. You must kill him."
"Kill the demon to avenge the people he killed, including your family… your sister."
Titania didn\'t know why but seeing these series of memories, her heart was being squeezed and she felt suffocated. Her tears continued to flow down her cheeks.
"Noooo!"
Ella and Zu Wan heard Titania\'s loud voice. It sounded like a scream. She was afraid of something.
Ella and Zu Wan rushed inside her room. They saw her writhing and squirming on her bed.
"Mother! Mother!" Ella jumped to the bed to wake her up.
Zu Wan also approached the bed, shaking Titania\'s body to wake her up.
"Titania! Wake up! You are dreaming!"
After a few seconds, Titania finally opened her eyes with her trembling body. Ella pounced on her mother right away, hugging her tightly.
Titania also hugged her daughter back. She didn\'t understand why she woke up feeling scared. Her mind was in shambles. She didn\'t know if what she saw was just a dream or a fragment of her memory.
