章節 444: The Note In The King's Study

After ten seconds, Leland put Anne back down. For a moment the baby squirmed but did not wake up.

Then Leland picked Jack up and did the same to him. His heart ached to see the weak baby. He quickly took out Jack's soul stone and fed it to him. 

A faint blue light emitted from the pup's chest. And then Jack's heartbeat became louder, more steady, and his fever suddenly went down.

"It works...." Leland muttered to himself. He realized Eloise was telling the truth regarding the soul stones. This made his anger rise again. To think that the witch took it out on innocent children made his blood boil. He couldn't wait to punish Eloise when the time came. No, he wouldn't let her die easily like his mother.

"I love you, Anne. I love you, Jack," Leland spoke very softly right at the pups' ears to make sure nobody could hear him but them. He kissed Anne's and Jack's heads affectionately and then put them back on the box.
