Chapter 494 The Knight With A Weredragon Baby

"But why did she leave?" I asked. Sitting among the others. They have all just woken up and haven't even had breakfast. And because of the depression caused by everything happening around them, I don't think any of them were willing to eat anything for now.

"We don't know. All we know is that she has been feeling down. And then the letter-," Reign uttered, instantly zipping her lips when she got a harsh stare from Akin.

"What letter? She left a letter?" I questioned anxiously. It must be so exhausting for them to keep looking for us while we leave behind letters that we don't even know when we wrote them.

"There is not much in the letters. We have the guards looking everywhere for her, so just hope and pray we replace her for the sake of her baby," Akin spoke and as he tried to hold my hand, he stopped himself.

He must have thought I didn't catch it, but I did. I only stayed silent because, right now, we had a bigger issue on our hands.

"How is Helel?" I inquired from Colt, whom I had seen walk into the room where Gwen used to be just a few minutes ago.

"He is taking care of the baby. I understand his frustration and concerns, but he is not letting anybody else hold her even for a second," he added to inform me of what had been up with Helel. I guess he was being overprotective after Gwen left.

"I haven't even seen the baby yet. Do you think he will let me hold her?" I asked the three sitting around me.

It was a simple question, but the way they shared a very anxious glance, I was perplexed as to what was going on.

"Maybe you should let him be for some time. You have only returned to yourself. Why not rest a bit and then tell us what Flynn wanted from you?" Akin quickly dismissed the idea, but that didn't help me calm down. I wanted to see Helel and speak to him.

He was lonely and needed someone on his side. This had happened before, when I was in deep slumber and he went through a lot all alone.

I didn't want him to suffer alone this time when he could have his friends and family with him.

"I won't be able to rest until I see him and make sure he is doing well," I insisted, and with a very clumsy head nod, Akin let me decide for myself.

Just by how everyone was acting, I could tell more than what they had told me happened here while I was gone. "I'll go speak to him," I got up from between them and walked over to the room. They were able to see me as the guestroom was on the side of the living room.

After knocking on the door, I heard him call.

"Come in."

While entering the room, I noticed he had made quite a mess. Everything was scattered all around the bed for him to fetch quickly when his daughter needed it.

He was still in the process of changing her diapers when he acknowledged my presence and raised his head very steadily.

As our eyes connected, I noticed his muscles stiffening.

"Hey," I greeted, feeling odd about the way he was watching me.

"I'm glad you are home," he mumbled and forced a smile across his l*ips.

The way he was acting was weird. I have known him to be very expressive, at least towards me. But then again, the mother of his child was missing. I cannot ask more from him. "Thank you," I replied, watching him stare at me nonstop.

"I missed you," it was random when he murmured that. I gave him a smile and then kept staring at the baby in his arms. I wanted to hold her, but because others have told me that he hasn't let anyone else hold her, I felt like t*ouching her would trigger him.

"You haven't met her. Do you want to hold her?" he asked himself, shocking me with his change in behavior towards me and the others.

"Really?" I asked before I jumped in bed and stretched my hands out for him.

He lowered his head and shook it, smiling to himself, before carefully placing her in my arms.

The instant I saw her cute face, I smiled. She had such red, chubby cheeks that I wanted to k*iss her instantly.

"She is so cute," I whispered with a smile.

"I told Gwen, she got the beauty from her," he murmured before his smile faded away.

"I heard about her. Why did she leave?" I questioned myself after I couldn't keep this conversation to myself.

I know he must be upset or probably blaming himself for not being by her side for half of her pregnancy.

"She just left-," he paused as he rubbed his face in his hands, "I'm just thinking maybe I should have given her more love or security. She didn't know where she stood now. I never talked about our relationship with her. I just couldn't bring myself to lie to her and tell her that I will become a better husband when in my heart-there was someone else," he was murmuring in the lowest tone, fighting the urge to not blame himself.

"It's not like she is a bad person. She is wonderful, and the friendship we developed seemed better, but I didn't know that was eating her up inside," he sighed, making me wonder what reason she gave for leaving. "Why did she leave, Helel?" I asked again, insisting on knowing while the baby fell asleep peacefully in my arms.

"Nobody told you?" he frowned. "Then I shouldn't tell you either."

"Helel, if you think of me as a friend, you will not hide it from me," I pressured him into looking into my eyes and telling me the truth behind her, leaving the mansion and even her baby behind. "She said she was leaving because you don't want her around," he mumbled, watching me let out a yelp of shock.
