Hellbound With You (WN)
Chapter 466: The Long Lost Tale Part XII
Alex ’s gaze flew to Zeres ’ face, eyes narrowed with suspicion as his heart thudded in his chest. Alex clenched his fists but kept his face and tone neutral, as if those words bore no weight.
”Don ’t fabricate things, witch. The king would never look for me, ” Alex replied, seemingly unbothered. Alex knew that there was no way his father would ever look for him. He was the black sheep of the family, a waste of space and time. But even so, a small light of hope flickered inside of him. Even though his brain knew for a fact that he was nothing in his father ’s eyes, Alex still wasn ’t able to crush that hope that maybe his father did care, that maybe his father was actually looking for him. And he hated himself for it. He hated the fact that he couldn ’t seem to stop himself from hoping. He loathed himself for giving his father this kind of control over him, hated the fact that even after what his family had put him through, he still wanted their acceptance.
Silence enveloped the small room. It was obvious that young Alex wasn ’t pleased with what Zeres said.
”Well, it ’s not my problem if you don ’t believe me, ” Zeres simply shrugged.
But, young Abigail looked like she didn ’t like the news Zeres had brought, causing Alex to feel surprised when he saw that look on Abigail ’s face.
Young Alex stared at her, with the thought that he was probably just reading too much into her expression, but the longer he observed her sad face, the more he wanted to see her smile.
”I am not going back even if that ’s true, ” he mumbled, his eyes never leaving her face, waiting for the reaction she would show upon hearing him.
The girl ’s eyes slightly widened as she looked up at him. Her bright eyes glimmered and he could tell that what he said made her happy. A small smile was about to form on young Alex ’s face when suddenly, a ball of silver light passed by between them in a whoosh!

Young Alex immediately looked at Zeres and the two halflings continued their glaring competition.
”Okay. You two stay here for a bit and let your wounds heal. I ’ll go make some food for us, ” Young Abigail said and she left the room, leaving the two wounded halflings by themselves.
