Chapter 756

Chapter 101 : Proud of You

“Miss Mila…” Enzo tugged my sleeve, pulling me out of my thoughts.

I glanced at Enzo, who had large dark circles under his eyes. He must be exhausted. Yet, he didn’t want to leave his grandfather’s side.

“I can’t lose him…” he murmured. Enzo moved around the bed, fluffing Charles’s pillows and tucking him in gently.

I wished there was more I could do. However, after looking through the journals multiple times in the past couple of days, I was at my wit’s end.

I sighed. “Enzo, it is late. We’ve done all we can for the night. You should get some rest.”

“No! I’m not leaving his side. What if—”

I put my hand on Enzo’s shoulder. “You’re no good to your grandfather if you don’t keep up your strength. Why don’t you grab a bite to eat? I’ll watch over him.”

“Yeah, you’re right. I need to keep up my strength.”

Enzo wiped off the tears that threatened to fall from his eyes, stood up and walked towards the door. He parted his lips as if he was about to say something, but he didn’t. He knew I’d done what I could. There was no use for more pleading.

Before he left the room, he gave me a look. A look that was desperate, helpless and yet…still hopeful.

And it broke my heart.

I sat next to Charles, watching his pale face. Life was leaving his body.

The sad glance from Enzo lingered in my mind. I thought I’d seen that similar look before…I wished I could do something, but the only thing left to do was pray for a miracle from the Goddess.

The bright moonlight shone through the window, covering Charles. I closed my eyes, my hands folded together.

“Goddess above, please hear my prayer. Your light shall guide us and your mercy shall be praised…”

Suddenly, something popped into my head.

It was a distant memory, something that I’d known so long ago. The words were similar, possibly deep from my memory.

That was right. It wasn’t just something I’d known, it was a spell. A spell I’d used to do something important…to save a young boy.

The words came to my lips before I could stop them.

“Amina hasteth corro sinat, amina hasteth corro sinat.”

Then I chanted again, and again. “Amina hasteth corro sinat, amina hasteth corro sinat…Amina hasteth corro sinat, amina hasteth corro sinat…”

Suddenly, my head slumped and my legs and arms shook. All the strength left my body and I could barely keep my eyes open.
