Chapter 261

Chapter 261 The vibe was somewhat heavy, and it didn’t feel right.

Noel’s sharp senses picked up on the oddness. He stopped in his tracks, cautiously observing for a while, his tail tucked between his legs and ears drooping.

“Noel Nyx’s sharp eyes spotted a little lump curled up in the corner, and the waved her hand. “Come to mommy”

She hugged Noel who came running towards her and noticed that his eyes were still filled with tears. Even after a night of sleep, his mood didn’t seem to have improved.

“What’s wrong?” Nyx wiped his tears. “You’ve already apologized. Mommy and daddy don’t blame you anymore”

They wouldn’t hold Noel’s mistake against him Noel sniffled and nuzzled his head into Nyx’s embrace, carefully watching her face, and quietly asked, “Really?”

He thought. But mommy and daddy’s expressions seem so bad. Could it be that they are still upset with me?

The thought that Nyx might dislike him made Noel feel bad. He was on the verge of crying his heart out.

Nyx followed his gaze around the room and noticed that her mates indeed looked upset.

The air was thick with tension.

She thought. There’s rarely such a vibe in the house, no wonder the little one is scared.”

“Yes” Nyx gently patted Noel and hugged him, kissing his fluffy little face. “Mommy and daddy are upset, but it’s not because of you.”

Everyone was indeed frustrated by Noel’s lie, but when they found out he could transform back into his human form, they were all relieved and happy for him.

The vibe in the house, however, was heavy because Nyx had just received news from Seafarion that his grandfather was near death, and the doctor had given him about a month to live.

For more than half a year, Seafarion had been staying at Sea Race Stars, accompanying his grandfather.

Nyx had also visited several times, and each time, the situation seemed to have worsened.

The former clan leader had always been in good health, with no serious illnesses, but his bodily functions were now deteriorating. Unlike diseases, aging was irreversible and incurable. No matter how advanced technology or how much wealth one had, no one could truly fight against death.

The family gathered in the living room to discuss the arrangements for sending the elderly man off at Sea Race Stars Such a serious matter naturally made them unable to be happy, and, having seen it. Noel thought the problem was with him.

Nyx comforted Noel, explaining the situation and gently asking. “Would you like to go with mommy and daddy to visit Seafarion’s grandfather?”

Noel nodded, his eyes red.

Though there was no direct blood relation with that former clan leader, everyone in the family, with Nyx at the center, was 1/3 05:46 Chapter 261 tied together, including Aurelius. The whole family took some time off and went together to Sea Rare Stars.

With new energy souces widely used, the originally long journey was now shortened to just a few hours.

From mal Planet to Sea Race Stars, they departed in the morning and arrived by the afternoon When Nyx arrived, Seafarion was keeping vigil by his grandfather’s side.

The usually appearance–conscious male was somewhat disheveled at the moment, standing there in a daze, his beautiful face thin and pale, filled with fragility, which made him especially pitiful.

Nyx quickly approached. “I’m here.”

“Nyx Seafarion shuddered, as if waking from a dream.

He tightly embraced Nyx, drawing much comfort from her.

The sound of medical equipment echoed regularly in the room, and the cold smell of medication lingered in the air.

The former clan leader, who was once full of life, was now confined to the medical pod and mostly in a coma, only occasionally surfacing into consciousness.

He couldn’t move on his own, and speaking was difficult. His eyes were half–open as he gazed at Nyx and Seafarion. embracing each other, a look of contentment spreading across his face.

Before his life reached its end, he was able to see that the Seafarion he cared most about found a happy home. He had no regrets left.

The former clan leader’s gaze slowly shifted, scanning over each of Nyx’s young offspring, his eyes filled with love and joy, as well as a sense of yearning.

Their lineage had always been thin, with only him and Seafarion in the main family, and not many on the side branches either.

He had never seen such a lively scene with so many young ones gathered together.

Although he couldn’t see Seafarion’s young ones born, he could imagine what they might look like.

Nyx called to him through the cabin door.

The last time they met, the former clan leader could still talk with her, but now, he couldn’t even say a word.

He merely scanned the visitors who had arrived, and then, satisfied, shut his eyes, appearing drained and drifting into a profound slumber.

No one could say for sure whether this closing of his eyes would lead to eternal rest.

Nyx embraced Seafarion, hearing his trembling and hurried breath, and her heart grew heavy with the weight of the moment.

She silently stared at the former clan leader for a while, unable to stop herself from asking the Divine Tree in her mind, “Where do people go after they die?

It was the first time she had seriously thought about this question.

For ordinary people, this question seemed abstract and unreal, but she could receive the true answer from the Divine Tree.

“Death is not the end, Nyx. The Divine Tree gently soothed her emotions. “When this journey ends, he will move on to another world, beginning a new life.”

Tue, 4 Mar Chapter 261 into its fold With this answer. Nyx felt a sense of clarity and She took Seafarion’s hand, leading him to the bedroom to rest, and relayed the Divine Tree’s words to him. “Your grandpa has done many good things in this life, accumulating enough merit. He will live a happy life after being reborn”

Scalarion’s gloomy expression softened significantl He believed Nyx’s words wholeheartedly, his pale eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at her deeply.

“Sleep for a while.” Nyx said, raising her hand to cover his eyes.

Seafarion hadn’t just missed a good night’s rest–he had spent the past six months unable to relax at work, constantly caring for his grandfather, always on edge, and trapped in relentless insomnia. His exhaustion was impossible to hide.

If this continued, even an SS–level male as him with strong physical constitution would eventually break down.

Nyx, with a heart full of sympathy, gently patted him, as though soothing a young child to sleep.

The room fell quiet, with only the sound of their two breathing intermingling.

Because of the heavy thoughts weighing on his heart, Seafarion struggled to find rest despite his body being so tired. His mind continued to wander, and he couldn’t relax.

Time ticked by, and his long lashes still trembled, as though he couldn’t fall asleep.

Nyx thought it necessary to take medicine. Ordinary doses of sleeping pills seemed to have no effect on him.

Nyx, helpless, looked at her poor mate, hesitated for a long time, and then took his hand and held him close to her.

Seafarion suddenly opened his eyes.

Having been apart from Nyx for over half a year, he had almost been trained like a dog by her–just a small hint, and he immediately responded.
