Chương 78: Death.

Beau.

I bolt up from the bed as sweat trickles down my face, down to my torso. Alanis wants me to calm down, strategize. So, he kept me in his house. Sitting up on the bed, I run my hands through my hair in a frenzy. Bells is downstairs, I am supposed to rest for today. How can I rest now, knowing something is wrong?

Lanis's room is empty. He allowed me to rest.

Rest, rest, rest.

I put on my shoes and rush out of the room. They are all in the living room of the house. Everyone including his father, mother, Belis, and Elu. I stop in front of the door as their words travel into my ears.

''He is not strong enough,'' Eligio mutters.

They are talking about me.

''You don't know that. Beau is a fucking fighter. He can take what is his back. We have to believe in him,'' Lanis defends me.
