Chapter 988: Lost in a Dream 2
The two people who walked in were none other than Lachlan’s parents, Cedric Wills and Aliya Wynter!
His father was still as stern as ever, with a hint of seriousness, but his eyes couldn’t hide his concern for Lachlan.
“What are you doing up so late at night?”
Cedric Wills asked with a stern face.
“Son, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”
His mother, Aliya Wynter, looked at Lachlan with a loving and gentle expression.
“Dad! Mom!”
“Is it really you?”
“I missed you so much! Dad, Mom…”
Lachlan choked up, tears streaming down his face as he called out to his parents.
He jumped off the bed and ran towards them.
At this moment, he was neither the Powerful Hollow Void nor the Seed of the Star Path.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
He was just an 18-year-old boy who wanted to hold his parents tightly and never let go.
“You missed us? If you missed us, why didn’t you come to find us?”
At that moment, Cedric Wills’ face suddenly twisted into a bizarre expression.
He looked at Lachlan with a sinister smile.
“Yes! If you missed us, why didn’t you come down to join us?”
“You unfilial son!”
The once gentle and loving Aliya Wynter also changed her demeanor.
Both of their appearances became terrifyingly grotesque.
Their bodies were covered in bloody holes from which worms crawled out.
Even their mouths, eyes, and faces were rotting with holes.
They lunged at Lachlan with ferocious grins, their hands reaching out to strangle him as if they wanted to kill their own son.
“Dad! Mom!”
“I miss you!”
“Your son really misses you.”
“I dream of seeing you again.”
“Are you really dead? Is this how you looked before you died?”
“Dad! Mom! Was your death painful?
Your son is unfilial…”
However, at this moment, Lachlan showed no fear or panic as he watched Cedric Wills and Aliya Wynter lunging at him.
He continued to look at his parents with tears streaming down his face.
His tears were filled with deep longing and heart-wrenching pain.
Even if they had turned into malevolent spirits, they were still the ones he thought about day and night!
Lachlan opened his arms and ran towards Cedric Wills and Aliya Wynter without hesitation, wanting to hug them tightly.
Even if they were truly vengeful spirits.
In the next second, the terrifying forms of Cedric Wills and Aliya Wynter reverted to their original appearances.
But Lachlan passed right through their bodies.
He hugged nothing but air!
At that moment, Lachlan felt an overwhelming sense of loss in his heart.
He turned around and looked at the now ethereal forms of Cedric Wills and Aliya Wynter, crying uncontrollably.
“Dad! Mom! No…”
“Don’t leave me! Take me with you!”
“Take me with you! Your son misses you…”
“Really misses… you!”
Lachlan knelt on the ground, crying and begging.
It was unclear whether he was begging his parents or pleading with the heavens!
“Son, you’ve grown up!”
“Mom and Dad are useless, we can’t do anything for you anymore.”
“You still have your daughter. Live well…”
Cedric Wills and Aliya Wynter looked at their son tenderly as they spoke.
Then, they gradually disappeared before Lachlan’s eyes.
Lachlan went crazy trying to grab them but only caught endless regret and emptiness.
“Daddy!”
“Daddy, are you ignoring Nora?”
At that moment, a sweet voice rang out.
Lachlan turned sharply and saw a small figure running towards him. The emptiness in his heart turned into deep love and tenderness.
“Nora! My sweet daughter!”
“Daddy’s here. How could Daddy ignore you?”
Lachlan squatted down, letting the tiny body rush into his arms.
Holding Nora felt like holding the whole world.
But in the next second, Nora’s sweet and dependent voice suddenly turned eerie and sinister.
“Daddy, Nora hates you!”
“Why? Why did you bring me into this world to suffer?”
“Nora hates you!”
“Nora is in pain. Nora is dying!”
“It’s all your fault!” “I want Daddy to die with me!”
Lachlan turned to look and saw that Nora’s once delicate face was now covered in bleeding spots.
Her big eyes were hollow like those of a ghostly doll.
In the next second, Nora opened her mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth.
She bit down hard on Lachlan’s neck.
At that moment, Lachlan still held his precious daughter tightly without any attempt to dodge or show fear.
His heart was filled with deep guilt and pain.
He was afraid! Afraid that his daughter would also disappear from his world.
No matter how terrifying Nora became, it couldn’t compare to the fear of her disappearing from his world.
“Gulp… gulp… gulp…”
He heard the sound of Nora swallowing his blood by his ear, but his face showed a look of relief and affection.
“Drink up! Drink up!”
“Daddy is sorry. Daddy is useless.”
Lachlan said chokingly.
But in the next second, even though he held Nora tightly, he found that she had suddenly vanished.
His arms were empty!
In the next moment, Lachlan found himself standing before an abyss.
Below him was an endless chasm of darkness.
And Nora was falling into that abyss.
The terrifying form Nora had taken earlier disappeared. Her delicate face was now filled with fear and despair.
She looked at Lachlan with deep longing and desperation, shouting urgently, “Daddy! Daddy, save Nora!
Nora is so scared! Will you come down and stay with me?”
Hearing his daughter’s call, Lachlan didn’t hesitate and jumped into the abyss after her.
“Okay! Daddy’s coming!”
“Sweetheart, no matter where you are, Daddy will always be with you!”
