Tempting Fate Chapter 159

159 Chapter 159: Jasmin’s Accident

“Are you all right, Avery? You’ve been acting nervous for a long now,” Jasmin said to her friend when she arrived.

Avery had been uneasy since Reed’s father came. She continued to squeeze her katana and blew some air.

“I’m just fine, Jasmin.”

“Are you sure? You’re behaving strangely.”

Avery gave a little grin. “When a shaman is confronted with or near a demon, they behave this way. I have the same feelings for Sir Reed and Sir Damon.”

“I don’t believe so. You feel more at ease when you’re among the two men.”

“I’ll just go outside to catch my breath,” Avery said as she rose up and exited the home.

Emy witnessed Avery’s departure and approached Jasmin when she was nursing the baby.

“Because Sir Reed’s father, she felt uneasy. She went out to breathe,” Jasmin said.

.....

“Could you please hold Alex first?” Emy said, “I’ll simply go after Avery.”

“Sure. Give me the adorable baby,” Jasmin smiled as she took the baby from Emy.

Emy hastily left home to pursue Avery once Jasmin finally received the baby. Since they met, Avery and Jasmin have been really helpful to her. That is why she will not tolerate them in her domain.

Emy saw Avery in the garden right away. While standing, it gazed up. She was staring up at the sky. When I walked out the door, I noticed. Thunder and lightning erupted, and the sky became dark and crimson. It doesn’t imply that the sky is the same hue as the ground. Emy approached Avery swiftly.

“What brings you here, Avery?” Emy asked.

Avery grinned. “I’m just venting.”

“I’m sorry you don’t feel at ease at home.”

“I’m alright, Miss Emy,” Avery said. “To be honest, I’m thinking about you.”

“Don’t worry about me. Reed and Damon are both powerful. They can protect me.”

Avery remained quiet for a while before taking a big breath. She talked again afterward.

“Do you realize what you’re getting yourself into, Miss Emy?” Avery asked. Emy looked at her friend. “I mean, you realize the person you married and loved wasn’t a human being, right?”

Emy gave a little smile. “Is there a problem, Avery? Is it about...”

“I’m sorry, Miss Emy, but I genuinely feel strange, and I’m repeating myself.”

“Don’t be worried. Furthermore, Eldron, Reed’s father, is nice.”

Avery remained silent. They turned to find Devin and Eve with him at the gate. The two were conversing and seemed to be in agreement at the time. Eve and Emy’s gazes locked, and for some reason, it seemed as if the lady had a plan. Emy looked at Avery, who appeared to observe Eve’s conduct.

Emy’s grin broadened as Devin neared. Devin quickly released Eve’s grasp on his arm.

“What exactly are you doing out here, Emy?” Devin inquired, clearly thrilled to meet Emy.

“Ah, just breathing some air,” Emy said.

Eve took a deep breath and frowned at Emy. “Have you had a visitor?””

Emy gave the nod. “King Eldron is inside the house, speaking with Reed.”

“Uncle? Is Uncle here?” Devin was taken aback.

“Ah, absolutely. King Eldron just came.”

“I think I should go home,” Eve said. Eve instantly turned her back, but Devina caught her hand before she could walk away.

Emy and Avery exchanged glances. “And where are you headed?” Devin asked Eve as he drew her closer to them.

“I’m leaving. I don’t want to confront Eldron, the previous king.”

“Why is that?”

“I simply don’t like it.”

Eve cast a peek toward Emy, who was gazing at the two of them. Eve later grinned. “Have you kissed Devin yet, Emy?”

Eve’s question caught Emy off guard. “What? “Emy asked.

Eve kissed Devin on the lips, which astonished Devin, Avery, and Emy. Avery and Emy averted their gaze. Devin shoved Eve.

“What are you up to?” Devin asked.

Eve burst out laughing. “Look at Devin. You shouldn’t get your hopes up since she doesn’t care about you. In addition, she already has a kid.”

Avery and Emy turned to look at Devin. Eve giggled as she spotted Devin’s expression.

“What? Do you suddenly feel embarrassed? A great prince feels embarrassed by a common mortal,” Eve said.

Devin said, “Shut up. You’re not doing well at all. Uncle has arrived.”

Eve became terrified again, and she dashed out of Reed’s home. None of the three talked as they observed her. Reed emerged from the house and saw the three staring at the gate. Reed put his hand around Emy’s hip right away.

“What exactly are you doing here?” Reed inquired. “And what do you see outside?”

“Miss Eve...” Avery started, but Devin cut her off.

“Is Uncle there?” Devin inquired.

“Yes, he’s carrying Alex right now,” Reed said.

“I think we should go inside,” Devin asked. “Uncle could be upset since you abandoned him.”

“All fine, my queen,” Reed replied to Emy.

“Avery,” Emy began.

“I’ll be there later. I’d like to lie here outdoors,” Avery said.

They were taken aback when they heard a scream from within the home. Everyone turned to recognize that voice, and he dashed inside.

King Eldron is carrying infant Alex while his soldier is holding Jasmin, who has an arm wound. When they came, Jasmin was unconscious.

“What happened?” Reed asked.

Avery rushed up to Jasmin and examined her injuries.

“Alex unleashed his power, it was easy, and that girl was harmed, but my grandson seems hungry because he dragged the girl and swallowed her blood with dark power, and it appears that Alex drank more.”

Reed saw Alex’s lip was covered in blood. He grabbed Eldron’s boy and wrapped him in black smoke. He looked up to see Jasmin heading up the stairs to the room where they were.

Emy halted at the top of the steps and turned to face Reed and Alex. He inhaled deeply before approaching his wife and children.

Emy couldn’t put her buddy first, so she grabbed a towel and cleaned Alex’s lips. The infant was pleased with what she did. She afterward glanced at Reed.

“I’m just going to see Jasmin,” Emy said.

“All right,” Reed said.

Emy dashed up the stairs. Reed was contacted by Eldron.

“How come you let the queen in?” Eldron inquired. “He should not have abandoned his son. Alex is not guilty.”

“Neither is Jasmin at blame,” Reed said. Reed had a peek around. “Where has Emy’s father gone?””

Eldron, his father, turned around as well. “I’m not sure.”

“Oh, my king!”

Everyone’s attention was drawn to Becky, who was in the kitchen. “We’ve got an issue.”

Reed approached Becky fast and saw Eddie hiding beneath the table. Reed sat up and turned to face his wife’s father. Its terror and shaking of the whole body may be felt.

“He saw what happened to Jasmin,” Reed said. Reed blasted black smoke toward the elderly guy below the table. It eventually cooled down. “What are you doing beneath the table, Dad?”

Eddie spun around and dashed beneath the table. Becky, who was perplexed, assisted him.

“What exactly am I doing beneath the table?” Eddie inquired of Becky.

“That’s what we were hoping to ask you. Why are you hiding under the table? ” Reed inquired.

Eddie snatched his head. “I have no idea.”

“It’s better, Dad,” Marc answered, “Just rest. Perhaps you grew weary of making a snack for my father. You can’t possibly be exhausted.”

Eddie answered, “Then I’ll go home first.” “Perhaps the kids are seeking me as well.”

“Becky, you should take Dad,” Reed said. “If you say goodbye, Emy is upstairs with Avery.”

Eddie said, “No, I’ll call him later.”

.....

“Be cautious, Dad,” Reed advised.

Eddie turned to face Eldron. “It’s a pleasure to meet you. “I’m going to bed.”

“All right,” Eldron responded.

“We’re here, Dad,” Becky exclaimed as she grasped Eddie’s arm.

Eddie and Becky began to leave the kitchen. Eldron, Reed, and his soldier stood there watching them. Eldron inhaled deeply.f𝚛𝗲𝒆we𝙗𝙣o𝙫e𝗹. 𝐜o𝚖

“I’m not sure how you’ve survived on this planet for so long,” Eldron replied. “Why don’t you bring Alex up in our world? He is free to do anything he wants there. Perhaps instead of being fearless, he will be disheartened here.”

“Alex will not be deterred,” Reed said. “I’d rather not raise Alex, and when he reaches the appropriate age, I’ll just bring him to the realm.”

“What? Is that your plan? “Eldron inquired. “Do you intend to depart the realm?””

“I’m not leaving anything behind,” Reed said. “I want him to live like a human to demonstrate that he is not a threat to both worlds.”

“But you’re just now seeing what Alex is capable of. Do you believe you can keep him safe from humans? You’re going to have to murder your kid.”

“I will do it if necessary,” Reed added, “but I don’t believe that will happen.” “Believe me, father, even if Alex injures Jasmin, she will not stop or be frightened to approach Alex.”

Eldron grinned. “You seem to be having a great time on this poisoned planet. People, you know, are more devils than we are.”
