28 Aftermath (2)

The incident stirred the public. 

The police were discreet, they did not expose the existence of vampires. The deaths of the Wilson family were so weird it left the people questioning whether it's still safe to live in this city.

The police assured the public that their deaths might be strange but no harm would befall the masses. They are still investigating the cause and more news will be made soon when the investigation progresses.

At this time, Lawrence was put under protection. He and the old butler were recuperating in the hospital. Because of Nala's injury, Lawrence insisted on staying inside the hospital.

After three months, the mysterious deaths of the Wilson family controversies finally died down. The huge manor of the Wilson family was left in the hands of Lawrence. His relatives from his stepmother's side tried to step up, wanting to support him and gain access to Wilson's family assets but Lawrence's did not let anyone in.

He firmly stood his ground, aside from the servants who were willing to work for him, Lawrence only let the old butler stay.

Kevin was extremely pleased with the outcome. The thrill of facing the villain was exhilarating! He can write ten thousand words of praise for his smart protagonist!

Not to mention he is living the life of a spoiled ruler cat!

The beautiful carpets are there for him to scratch! Long corridors and spacious hallways for him to jump and run around. He has a separate room full of towering toys for him. Not to mention he's got the softest bed. He can lie down and roll around all day.

Such a blissful life.

He's got the perfect lazy life he always wanted.

Even if he wants to leave this place as soon as possible, the rules clearly state he has to live with Lawrence in this world until they grow old and die naturally.

But... isn't the cat's life expectancy short? 

He can live probably up to twelve years? 

Tsk, tsk it's hard to figure things out. 

Kevin jumped out of the window and went to the grass in the yard to play. The gardener took great care in growing flowers and he took his sweet sweet time destroying each one of them.

After spending all afternoon running around, Kevin dashed straight to the dining room.

The old butler just served dinner, including his too. 

Lawrence just sat down, seeing him, Kevin's round jade eyes sparkled and he ran straight to him. These past months, he had grown slightly and became heavier. 

But in Lawrence's opinion, slightly is an understatement. 

The fluffy black and white cat has gained weight and the belly has become rounder and bigger. 

Kevin confidently jumped and sat on Lawrence's lap. He raised his head and softly meowed at Lawrence.

Despite his body growing, his soft voice hasn't changed. He still sounds like a little kitty. 

Lawrence helplessly chuckled and lifted Nala up. He carefully placed him on the table to eat his dinner. 

Within ten minutes, Nala is finished eating. He looked up and frowned at his smart protagonist.

Because he's not eating. 

Lawrence's complexion was pale. And he only ate three mouthfuls before putting down his spoon. 

He was looking at Nala with a slight smile on his face. He then got up and carried Nala on his shoulders. 

The old butler was worried. 

"Young Master, these past few days... Are you not feeling well?"

Lawrence stopped in his steps. 

"I'm feeling fine."

The old butler looked at the pile of untouched plates and creased his brows worriedly. 

Did the Young Master's sickness start again? 

He diligently cleaned up the table and wrapped the untouched food. So as not to waste them, he let the servants eat most of the portions and planned for tomorrow's meals.

Lawrence walked steadily with Nala in his arms. The moment he arrived in his room and closed the door, he got dizzy. 

He dropped Nala to the ground and leaned on the wall for support.

"Meowr??!!" Kevin panicked.

What? What?! 

What's going on? Is he injured?! 

Lawrence slumped weakly in the ground, covering his mouth. Kevin jumped into Lawrence's folded knees and stretched his soft meat paw pads.

"Meow meow?" 

'Are you okay, meow?' 

'Feeling unwell?'

'What's wrong?'

Lawrence did not speak. He just stared at the fluffy cat that's looking at him with worried eyes. 

"I'm fine." Lawrence paused. After a few seconds, he opened his mouth and said in a low voice.

"The mission is done. And it seems this body won't last any longer."

Kevin's eyes widened.

What?! 

"Killing the Master of the Manor resulted in the rest of the pure blooded vampires in the family dying. I expected this at least.. but not so soon."

"Meow!" 

'Speak clearly!'

'I don't understand!'

Lawrence gazed at Kevin with calm eyes. 

"Nala, killing the Master will also kill the rest of the vampires. This boy may not have been turned yet but the vampire's blood is running in his veins. And I can feel the blood dying inside me."

Meeting Kevin's gaze, Lawrence smiled slightly.

"You must be confused. I know you are smart. I am not your owner. I'm just a stranger sent in your owner's body to eliminate the enemy."

"I'm sorry." Lawrence slowly touched Kevin's chin and scratched it lightly. 

"I killed your owner." 

"I wish I could bring you with me. Having a cat... is nice,"

At that moment, a sharp ding echoed in their heads. The two look up at the same time to see an announcement hovering on top of them.

Like a screen pop up message.
