Chapter 52: Endlessly Long Night
Peter had heard of the reputation of Star Corporation and neither he nor the hunters expected that one day they would see the face of this senior leader.
Although Peter knew that the president of Star Corporation for many generations had the genetic ability to be intelligent and ingenious in leading the corporation with up to tens of thousands of employees.
But the fact that Harvey has vampire-like qualities still makes Peter suspicious.
While smiling at Harvey, Peter reached back and motioned for the hunter to stand near him.
Understanding what the leader meant, he secretly pulled out the cross. However, Aurora quickly discovered their intentions so she touched her foot to the circuit breaker to pump water even though she knew that the valve in front had not been opened.
As soon as the cross was pulled halfway out by the hunter, the pipe also burst due to too strong water pressure.
As a result, water splashed, causing the people outside the yard to panic and quickly run away to avoid it.
– Harvey, run to the back of the house and turn off the circuit breaker for me. Aurora blinked and shouted.
The vampire understood and quickly ran away. However, he knew that was just her excuse because the circuit breaker was located near where she stood.
When she was sure Harvey was out of sight, she used her foot to push down the circuit breaker.
At this time, the hunters were already soaking wet, shivering when the wind blew because it was the beginning of winter.
– Oh, what should I do? All the pipes are broken. I wasted money again. Aurora ran out into the yard, sighing and expressing her regret.
Because she was standing next to the door, water splashed on her, and now through her thin shirt, her translucent white skin appeared, making the hunters extremely confused.
Vampire hunters often pray, eat vegetarian food, and practice a pure lifestyle, so when they saw this scene, everyone blushed and felt embarrassed.
They hastily apologized to the homeowner, then ran to the fence and quickly climbed out.
When she was sure they were far away, she went back in, locked the door, and went to the kitchen to find Harvey.
At this moment, she saw him as just a good, obedient boy. He stood hiding behind the wooden cabinet, silent.
– Harvey, they’re gone. Aurora tried to suppress her smile and softly called out.
– Luckily, I thought there was going to be a fight. He said as he lifted his foot.
– It seems like they were following you from before, what did you do? Jump from a building or draw for five minutes?
– No.
Harvey shook his head and replied, but just a few seconds later, he suddenly remembered what he had done on the road. He should have let the bakery owner and the glass cabinet fall down instead of being a good person.
The fall wouldn’t kill her, but once he was discovered, it would be difficult for him to live.
If he comes into contact with bad guys for a long time, he will become a bad guy and vice versa. He felt dissatisfied with himself for learning Samson’s good habits.
The moment Harvey looked up at the person opposite him, his face turned red because he saw the skin behind the thin, water-soaked silk shirt.
It’s not that he’s never seen a woman’s body, he’s seen girls in bikinis running around on the street, but he never had this burning feeling.
– You… you should go change your clothes, you’re all wet and you’ll catch a cold.
Hearing what he said and seeing his appearance, Aurora glanced down and wanted to scream because she was so embarrassed. No wonder the group of hunters ran away when she rushed out.
Her dressing style is always discreet and only when she is home alone does she wear thin shirts to lighten her body.
Quick as a flash, she turned around, ran upstairs, and slammed the door.
– Damn it, what am I thinking? Harvey hit himself on the head, muttering.
Ten minutes passed and Harvey didn’t see Aurora appear. He was about to go up to her room to call when the door opened and the girl’s footsteps gently tapped down the stairs, coming towards him.
– Don’t be embarrassed, people even wear bikinis. Your body is not bad. He tried to act normal to calm her down.
– It seems like you really like girls in bikinis, right?
– Why did you bring me watermelon juice? Harvey quickly changed to another topic.
– I was just going to tease you a little.
– I thought you had discovered them before.
Aurora gently shook her head and motioned for Harvey to follow her into the laboratory.
Taking the glass of blood from her hand, he immediately drank it all in one gulp.
This was also the first time he stepped into her paradise, the place where her youth was buried and the place that soothed her lonely emptiness at night.
– If they stubbornly rushed in just now, what would you have done?
– I believe you will be able to retain them. You are very quick-witted and smart.
The answer was like a compliment, making Aurora laugh. In fact, she was extremely panicked and instinctively wanted to protect the man she loved, so she suddenly did it without any logical arrangement.
He rates her too highly. However, when she heard him say he believed in her, a warm feeling somewhat soothed her cold heart because he had always been skeptical and suspicious of the whole world.
Because Harvey didn’t want to be ambushed by a group of hunters on the way home, he asked Aurora to let him sleep here until morning and of course, she happily agreed.
Remembering the time she secretly drew his blood while he was sleeping, she felt sorry for him. Perhaps because he trusted her completely, he wasn’t on guard.
At the same time, in a pretty little house in a deserted alley, Lucasta and Samson had just finished watching an entertainment program.
From the afternoon until now, he noticed that his pretty little girl had strange behavior.
She kept looking at him as if she was observing something, but when he turned his head, she pretended to look elsewhere.
She spoke less and kept a certain distance from him, not clinging to him like usual.
– What’s wrong with you, Lucasta? Today you are so different. Why are you avoiding me? Are you angry with me? Samson turned off the TV and turned to look at her, speaking gently.
– I… I’m not angry with you. It’s just… it’s just that I feel so insecure, I… I feel uncomfortable and just want to be alone. – She quickly looked for an excuse.
– You have to stay by my side. Let’s go to sleep.
As soon as his hand was about to touch Lucasta’s silky hair, she stood up and walked away. She went into his room but quickly returned with a pillow and blanket in her hand.
– Won’t you sleep with me? Samson held her back, his face showing surprise.
– I want to sleep alone. I can’t keep being afraid and relying on you forever.
– Okay, if you have a nightmare, just come over, the door is always open.
Lucasta nodded and quickly entered her room. She had observed Samson for several hours but could not see any signs that he was a bloodthirsty man.
After all, when did he drink human blood? During the time before she came to work at Star Corporation, he was always by her side from morning to night.
Even when she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, she could still find him.
Lucasta curled up in the blanket, but the cold feeling kept lingering so she couldn’t close her eyes. Her eyes kept staring at the door, afraid that it would open at any moment.
Fear and anxiety surrounded her for a long time, causing her to almost become exhausted and gradually fall asleep.
In her dream, she clearly saw the horrifying scene of the accident ten years ago.
She seemed to recognize two very familiar faces in the rearview mirror. They were horrified when they saw the truck suddenly rushing towards them.
Next, she saw herself falling from the third floor of the hotel. She saw the man’s two legs in the car explosion on the road. She saw the cats meowing and finally Samson’s face with bloodshot eyes and two fangs. He walked closer step by step and grabbed her, biting her neck hard.
– Ah… ah… ah…
A scream rang out, causing Samson to push open the door and quickly run to the girl who had just woken up.
Seeing the man’s face dimly lit in the pale yellow light, Lucasta screamed loudly again, jumped up, and retreated to the head of the bed.
– Don’t be scared, it’s me, you…
– Don’t… – She shook her head, her hands clutched the blanket, her whole body trembled and she could only utter a single word.
– Lucasta, it’s me, Samson, please calm down.
Although Lucasta hid her face in the darkness, Samson could still clearly see the tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.
He patiently waited until she really realized who the person across from her was, instead of approaching because he was worried he would make her panic more.
Since that accident, the frequency of her nightmares has increased, sometimes in one night she screams several times.
Finally, seeing her trembling for too long, he couldn’t wait, so he proactively climbed onto the bed and moved closer to her.
– I told you to sleep with me but you didn’t agree. Come here, I’ll hug you to make you stop being scared.
Samson gently reached forward, unaware that Lucasta’s teary eyes were seeing a vampire raising its claws towards her.
Michael’s warning continuously rang in Lucasta’s ears, causing her to sweat even though the weather was very cold because winter had just begun.
She didn’t know if Samson would grab her, bite her neck, suck out her blood, or force her to become someone who helped him maintain his race.
She felt disgusted as she remembered the intimate touches between both of them.
The fragile, vague memory from the dream just now helped her somewhat remember that her childhood life had absolutely no trace of him.
– Don’t… don’t touch me, please… spare my life…
Before she could finish her sentence, he hugged her and comforted her. She was so frightened that she fainted on his shoulder.
Noticing that her body was limp, Samson quickly laid her down on the bed. This was the first time she had a nightmare and was so panicked that she didn’t recognize who he was and even fainted.
All night long, Samson did not dare to sleep, he just sat on the edge of the bed and watched his little girl.
He must quickly find out who is behind those dark plots so that she can rest assured and return to being a happy little girl.
The night kept changing color from dark to light and then morning came. When Lucasta opened her eyes, Samson was no longer in the room.
She struggled to sit up with her hands, the strength in her body seemed to be drained by someone, her head was dizzy, and everything in front of her seemed to be split in two.
It took a while for her to be able to see normally.
– Are you awake? Today I made a steak that you like.
The deep voice suddenly rang out, startling Lucasta. Her heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her chest. She suddenly touched her neck, looking for fang marks.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
– Do you have a tired neck? Do you need me to massage you? If you don’t feel well today, I’ll call Harvey to tell him you’re taking leave. Samson said as he approached her.
– No, I’m fine, I’ll come out right away, you… please make me a glass of milk.
She quickly spoke up and tried to chase him out of the room before he could touch her.
Now, the words and caressing gestures from him only made her scared. Today, she must find out the truth.
