My Unconventional Lover: Seeing A Different World
Chapter 93

93 I Don’t Dare, Milady

I looked at Tom who was also looking at me. My heart felt heavy when I thought he would leave me. But, it hurt even more when I thought he would die for real.

If I were to think rationally, I would have let him go back to his body. I didn’t mind being separated from him for a bit, as long as I knew that he would eventually return to my side.

But, this time it was different.

I didn’t know if he would come back or not. I didn’t even know if he would still remember me or not.

There were too many possibilities that made me scared to let him go.

But, I reminded myself again that there was a high possibility of Tom being alive; breathing, warm, and... human.

Even though it was hard, I decided to let him go.

“Milady?” Siji was waiting for my decision.

“Send him back.” I was surprised to hear my own voice sounded so weak.

.....

“Jane.” Tom hugged me tight. “I will stay if that’s what you want me to do.”

I shook my head. “I’ll wait for you. Just come back safe and sound. You do know that I have Sanji beside me. If you take too long to return, I’m afraid you...”

“No!” He cut me off. A smile bloomed in my face as my intention to tease him succeeded.

His face hardened as he glared at me. “Don’t you dare!” He growled.

I chuckled. “Go...” I pushed him lightly.

“Jane, promise me you’ll wait for me.” He pleaded.

I nodded my head. “Of course.”

Only after hearing my answer that he released his hold on my body and walked towards Siji who was waiting so patiently.

“I’m ready.” Tom stood in front of Siji.

Siji reached out and widely spread his fingers. His thumb and point finger touched Tom’s forehead while the others were covering Tom’s eyes. Seconds later, I saw Tom’s transparent body disappeared bit by bit. My heart thumped loudly and painfully as I watched him disappeared.

When he was finally no where to be found, I found Siji frowned slightly.

“What is it?” I squinted my eyes. Don’t tell me you send him to a wrong place, I said in my mind.

“Nothing, Milady.” Siji bowed slightly. He looked calm but somehow I felt that he was hiding something from me.

“Siji, you better don’t hide anything from me.” I reminded him.

“...I don’t dare, Milady.” He lowered his head. “It’s just... I detected something from him, an aura not belong to him is in his body.”

I frowned. “Is it harmful?”

“I have no idea, Milady. I didn’t have any chance to look into it before he went. Seeing the way the owner hid its aura so well, I could only guess the owner is powerful.”

My frown got deeper. I was worried that it would bring trouble to Tom even before he returned to his body.

“Is there any other way to know where his body is?”

Siji shook his head, but then he stiffened. “Actually, there is one way to know it.” He looked at me with serious gaze in his eye.

“Speak.” I really hoped I could hear good news from him.

“By following the thread of one of his family member. The closer the member to him, the clearer the thread is. It means, it will be a lot easier to follow. As long as one is still alive, the thread will not be broken.”

“I didn’t know such thing exists.” I exclaimed. Finding a close family member of Tom was not a hard one. I could either choose his mother or Uncle Ben.

“But...” Siji stopped talking hesitantly.

“What?”

“How you do it, you need to learn it from Sir Sadewa.” Siji seemed restless.

“Who is this Sir Sadewa? And where do I replace him?” Seeing his expression, the problem must lay in the way I could replace him.

“He is an elder, well-known in our dimension. You can’t replace him. He will appear in front of you if he wants it. There’s no way to replace him either way.” Siji smiled apologetically.

I sighed. Of course, there was no easy way to it. “I’ll think of a way. Thanks, Siji.”

“My pleasure, Milady.” With that, he disappeared.

I crawled back under my blanket and laid down silently. As I glanced at the clock on the grey wall, I saw it had passed two o’clock in the morning.

I sighed softly. Too many had happened in this past months. I needed to set my mind straight before I was consumed by this weird power in me.

Finally closing my eyes, I took a deep breath and breathed slowly. My body started to feel the flow of energy around my body. With the white-clothed army standing on guard, the energy around me filled with positive vibes, creating a cool and soothing sensation in me.

I felt safe.

With that feeling inside, I finally fell asleep again.

———–

I heard noises.

There were many people talking at one go. Were they debating?

I opened my eyes slowly. The blur image slowly became clearer.

A frown formed in my face as I realized the odd around me.

Could someone, please, tell me where I am now?
