Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 443

Chapter 443: A solution_Part 1

Time began to pass like sand in an hourglass, and Belle knew that sooner or later, she would have to take Rav as well. Rohan accompanied her as she collected ten more souls, and after each one, he took her to places that made her smile again, trying to keep her heart from breaking completely. Most of the time, they went back to the waterfall, touching the stones and letting her bring one back with her every time.

True to his words, the stones worked like magic and soothed her heart.

But nothing could ease the dread and heartbreak that would come with Rav’s turn. And not just that, Belle realized something else a month before Rav’s time would be due, something that might make everything even harder.

Rohan wasn’t always around during the day because he had to keep up appearances at the royal castle with the king, pretending to study war strategies while secretly staying close to learn their plans and find out if they still intended to take her hostage if a war breaks out.

For now, there had been no news about the war, but they knew the humans were still planning it. That was why Rohan stayed close to the royals at all times, to know what was happening and avoid being caught off guard.

When he returned home in the evenings, he made up for his absence by spending time with his son. After what had happened that day when Belle had been gone and Rohan had left Angel, their relationship hadn’t been as strong as before. But over time, Rohan began to win his son’s trust back.

He made sure to come home carrying presents and blood snacks for the boy, and Angel, who had a sweet tooth, could never resist. Rohan even gave him four bundles of parchment for his drawings and bought him more tools and equipment.

"Now tawk, Papa. An-jo tawk wi Papa," Angel had said one night with a bright grin, hugging his father tightly and giving him a moist kiss on the cheek. "I wuv Papa."

"I love you too," Rohan replied with a grin of his own, and since then, their relationship had mended.

Thankfully, Belle’s morning sickness wasn’t too bad, though she had begun to crave food more often. That afternoon, she was in the kitchen preparing vegetable soup to satisfy her craving when Evenly walked in to drop off her used plate. Suddenly, Evenly clasped a hand over her mouth and rushed out the back door to throw up.

Belle, who was stirring the soup while her son sat on the table behind her with his drawing tools, turned just in time to hear the sound of retching outside.

A frown creased her face. She lowered the firewood beneath the stove, lifted Angel down from the table so he wouldn’t hurt himself trying to get down, and hurried outside, her son following close behind, calling, "Enny!"

Belle found Evenly crouched down, emptying her stomach. Sensing them behind her, Evenly raised a trembling hand and managed to say, "Don’t come closer, it’s ugly..." before another wave of coughing and vomiting overtook her.

Angel looked up at his mother with wide, worried eyes as if asking what was wrong with Evenly. Belle crouched to his height and said gently, "Go back inside and continue your drawing. I’ll come in after I check on your Enny." She placed a kiss on his cheek, and Angel looked back at Evenly once more before nodding and walking inside, dragging his feet and glancing back again before finally running off.

Belle went in briefly and returned with a pitcher of water, handing it to Evenly, who was now trying to catch her breath and patting her chest weakly. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Thank you," Evenly said as she rinsed her mouth and splashed water on her face before handing the empty pitcher back to Belle.

"Are you all right?" Belle asked softly, reaching out to hold Evenly’s hair away from her damp face and tucking it behind her ears.

"I don’t know," Evenly admitted with a weary sigh. "I’ve been feeling unwell for quite a while now. The aroma of the soup you were making just triggered it again." She looked tired, uncertain what was wrong. She already had too many things to worry about, but this feeling was getting worse with each passing day.

Rav had been avoiding her more than usual lately, only coming around on nights when it rained. Even then, she could tell something was bothering him. He looked paler, thinner. She might have said he was sick, but vampires didn’t get sick in that sort of way. So what could it be?

"Since when have you been feeling this way?" Belle asked, helping Evenly to her feet and guiding her to sit on a bench in the back garden.

"I don’t remember exactly," Evenly replied after a moment, frowning in thought. "But I think it’s been about a week now."
