Kidnapped

Rex stared at Valen for a while before asking, "don't you feel she's a thorn in your flesh–"

"She's not."

"OK, I agree, she's not. But look at you. You're almost like a ghost who doesn't exist. Everything you do now is for your sister and parents. It feels like you're no longer living. Valen, this is not a good sign.

"Valen," Rex held his hands. "I know you've missed your parents. You are but a shell of yourself right now. You don't even talk anymore these days. Look at you, you've grown thinner. Do you think Jeslyn will forgive herself if she comes back and sees you like this? Here is my suggestion. I'm sure it will help rekindle your hopes. Put Kaylus in school and pay your parents a visit."

Valen's eyes shone. "Will I be able to see them?"

Rex shook his head, "I'm not certain but being around them should do the magic. What do you think?"

"OK." He agreed.

Meanwhile, Doyenne was seen talking on the phone with Lady Sabrina.
