Bab 199: Departure

"Honey! Are- are you alright?" Yelena shouted and quickly opened his shirt to reveal a deep wound that made her close her mouth in shock.

"I'm fine," the blond man said. "Are the kids alright?"

"Yes, yes, they are alright," Yelena said. "He never got to them."

"Good," the blond man slowly stood up and looked at his own wound. "This… is not good."

"No, I'll call Damien," she said.

"No!" the man caught Yelena's arm. "Not Damien. Call… call Ray."

"Ray? Why?" Yelena asked.

"We need to get rid of this body… urgh," he held onto his chest, pressing on it to stop the bleeding.

Stanley watched with a horrified look. Was this how his father died?

Yelena had never been clear about his father's death. He remembered when she said it was an accident and also remembered when she said he was a weak man with an ill body.

He had never known what to believe and had even wondered at some point if he had been the victim of a Crawler attack.
