บท 850: The Red Woven Wristbands

Hearing Altair's words and Vega's cries, Nicolae became silent and unable to react. His heart was too sad to answer Altair. Why can't he be happy? Why did this have to happen to him? These two children ... whom he really loved ... were not his biological children, but his brother's.

His own child died even before it was born. Nicolae didn't even know if it was a boy or a girl.

"Dad... please, don't leave us ..." cried Vega again. "Daddy, you promised ..."

Nicolae raised his face and looked at Vega in his arms. He finally took a deep breath and stroked the little girl's hair. He still could not speak, but his head slowly nodded.

Terry appeared shortly after with a tray of food and drinks. He put it on the table beside Nicolae and signaled the two children to force Nicolae to eat.
