Chapter 104: The Secret of Crime
After a month, Harvey and Samson’s bodies gradually recovered, and Lucasta’s legs could also walk normally. However, Bella warned that with every season change, she will still be tormented by pain.
However, for Lucasta, that pain is nothing when she has gone through so many incidents. As long as Samson is by her side, her heart is filled with happiness.
Aurora’s passing left endless sadness for those who loved her. And everyone understood that it was a deep hole in Harvey’s heart.
Although he still smiled and talked to everyone, his sad eyes proved everything. Previously, Harvey’s eyes sparkled like the stars, containing no sadness.
– When do you plan to return to the forest? Harvey had just rearranged Aurora’s beauty accessories, jewelry, and photos and asked.
– This weekend, when that guy is sentenced. Samson replied.
Harvey didn’t ask anything more, continuing to focus on the boxes in front of him. This is a way for him to ease his feelings of missing his lover. He arranged them every day, took them out, looked at them, and then put them back.
He also gave the blood concentration formula to Bella so that she could continue to develop her research and also to help Samson and Maris because it would take another year for Samson to break the curse. As for Maris, she needs blood permanently.
Since that tragedy, Aurora’s house has always been crowded, at least three people are Samson, Lucasta, and Harvey, and at most there are a few more people like Michael, Bella, Bonita, and Bevis.
Today, Michael took Lucasta to the police station to complete the documents to receive the inheritance from her parents, so there were only two vampires left at home.
Also after that tragedy, Peter and the vampire hunters withdrew from the city at the request of the police.
– Can I meet him? Lucasta asked when she had just finished signing the documents.
– I advise you not to meet him. Michael quickly answered.
– Just this one time.
– Okay.
According to Lucasta’s request, Michael took her to the place where William and his accomplices were being held and told her that she would only have a few minutes to talk.
Michael didn’t want her to know about her parents’ past. Once she meets William, her good image of them will completely collapse.
Lucasta sat silently behind a transparent glass layer with small round holes.
When she held the documents of the assets in her hand, she wondered if they were worth more than a human life. They are lightweight.
– How’s it going? You came to see my pathetic appearance, right? I should have killed you as soon as I saw you. William spoke up as soon as he sat down, facing his niece through the glass.
– Even after coming here, you still do not repent. Do you think you are more miserable than me? You made me an orphan and harmed everyone I loved. Today’s outcome is your retribution, don’t blame anyone.
– Then what happened is also your retribution, kid. That cop still hasn’t said anything to you?
– What?
The space around Lucasta almost froze when she heard the words coming out of William’s mouth. He said it was her parents who led him down this bloody and foul path with no way out.
They were the ones behind the kidnappings and blood trading thirty years ago and he was just the one following their orders.
Because he was dissatisfied with the little money they paid him, he decided to take their place.
The meeting ended in William’s screams and Lucasta’s silence.
Two police officers dragged him inside, and she slowly walked towards the door. His words kept echoing in her ears.
– Lucasta. Michael quickly caught her right when she almost fell.
The look of dismay on her beautiful face was enough for him to understand that she already knew the truth. He was also extremely surprised with the results of this investigation.
At first, he did not believe William, but after piecing together all the testimonies and evidence, it was the truth.
At that time, William was just a teenage boy, with no relationships, no money, and no status, how could he do those things alone?
– Is what he said true? Were my parents the ones running that blood-trading ring? She asked, her eyes still staring into space.
– It is the truth. I’m so sorry, Lucasta.
She collapsed in the middle of the yard and cried without a sound. Is the blood flowing in her body from a demon? Why did her parents do such cruel things?
She went to demand justice for them but did not know that they had cruelly taken the lives of so many people and destroyed so many families.
She has always thought that they are the best people in the world, deserving to live on and live happily.
Returning home with a sullen face, Lucasta just bowed to Harvey and Samson, then went upstairs, into the room and sat huddled on the bed.
Just in the morning, when she left the door, she was still as chirpy as a baby bird, but now she had a funeral look on her face, making the two vampires extremely surprised.
– What happened to her? Samson asked worriedly.
– She knew that her parents used to run a kidnapping, murder, and blood trading ring.
Both Harvey and Samson were extremely shocked when they heard this.
Samson’s hand tightened and in a moment, he was next to his little wife and hugged her. He understood that her heart was very confused and in pain.
– Samson, am I going to be as cruel as them in the future? I carry their blood in me. She buried her tear-stained face in his chest and spoke in sobs.
– No, don’t think nonsense. They are them and you are you. You are my little angel.
– Don’t you hate me?
– I love you.
She pushed him away, sat up straight, and stared into his face.
That’s right, he will never let her become a bad person. He will protect her so that she will always be his angel.
Her parents and uncle were all passionate about money, so they fell into such a quagmire. As for her, she’s not like them, she just needs enough money to buy grilled meat, ice cream, cakes, and a few beautiful dresses.
Later, when she went to the forest to live in seclusion with Samson, she no longer needed to eat those dishes, she would eat wild vegetables, mushrooms, and wild chicken meat and did not need to use money.
– Samson, I decided to donate all the assets I just inherited to charity organizations.
– Yes, just do as you want. Anyway, we don’t need too much money. Your husband is a billionaire! Samson stroked her golden hair, speaking in a pampering voice.
Downstairs, Michael also summarized everything for Harvey to understand. He said he intended to bury this secret with William’s death, but Lucasta kept wanting to see him one last time.
– Maybe she needs time to accept this. Being an angel or a devil is a person’s choice, not related to bloodline.
Michael nodded in agreement with Harvey’s words. In his eyes, Lucasta is an angel and both handsome vampires are also angels.
The blood of bloodthirsty creatures flowing through their bodies does not make them cruel or bad.
Afternoon came, and Harvey returned to his apartment. Everything was fine, Samson and Maris had both recovered so he didn’t have anything to worry about anymore.
The case was solved and everyone knew that humans were the ones causing the disappearances that lasted more than three decades, not vampires.
Another important thing is that the vampire hunter groups have disbanded because people around the world have decided to no longer contribute funds to maintain the vampire hunting association.
Without operating funds, hunters are forced to do other jobs to make money.
After a long period of research, two weeks ago, a British doctor presented convincing evidence and arguments that there is a disease that makes patients look like vampires. This disease destroys their appearance and causes them much pain.
He also urged everyone to join hands to help these poor patients instead of fearing and stigmatizing them.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
As a result, just a week later, the amount of blood donated to patients with vampire syndrome around the world far exceeded his expectations.
Many people cried when they saw children suffering from this disease. The patients were taken out of the deep forest and given a better place to live with adequate living conditions.
– So it’s over. Aurora, wait for me.
Harvey signed the will, then wrote a letter to Bonita, one to Samson and Lucasta, and then placed them in the mailbox. Half of his assets in Star Group were given to Ricky, his adopted son, and Bonita.
When dawn came again, Harvey left everything behind, drove towards the eastern forest, and arrived at the grave of his beloved.
The morning dew still lingered on the leaves, condensed into drops, and fell onto his platinum hair.
This time, he didn’t cry anymore, just stood there, smiling and waiting for the sunshine. For the first and last time, he looked forward to those rays of sunlight even though he knew they would burn him.
The first rays of sunlight gradually fell, passing through the leaves and shining directly on the happy face of the vampire, the last descendant of the royal line.
Harvey felt the warmth brought by the sun, he thought about Aurora’s beautiful face, her radiant smile, her long slender hands, her soft lips.
Harvey’s body gradually disappeared under the sunlight, like countless small particles of dust mixed into the air.
A strong wind suddenly came, blowing the dry leaves from the branches down. Somewhere there was the sound of a lost bird calling to its flock and then its joyful chirping sounded when it found its flock.
When Samson, Lucasta, and Bonita received the letter and ran there, they only saw Harvey’s clothes lying in front of Aurora’s grave.
The dark purple afternoon light made the scene even more sad. Although heartbroken, Samson knew that this choice would make his friend happy.
Two thousand years have passed, and Harvey can only feel love and happiness when he is with Aurora.
The two girls knelt before the grave, clutching his pure white clothes, and burst into tears.
And Samson just silently raised his eyes and looked up. He believes Harvey met Aurora in heaven or they were following the wind, walking around the forest together.
– Harvey, wish us happiness. Samson whispered.
