<h4>Chapter 207: Bad News.</h4>


    Kaito stood back, staring at the man who had just given him the worst news of his life. Ang’s blood could make anyone immortal? The thought alone made his head spin. It sounded insane, yet something inside him told him it wasn’t a lie. Could Mr. de really be making this up? No, not now, not in a moment like this. No one in their right mind would lie about something so heavy.


    "You must be thinking about what I said," Mr. de murmured. "It sounds like a fantasy, but it’s not, Kaito. There is much more you need to know."


    "Howe I never saw that in the prophecy?" Kaito asked, his brows pressed tight. Every pack was given the scroll, and he had heard it read over and over. Not once did it ever speak of Ang’s blood or her power to make anyone immortal.


    "I don’t know," Mr. de rasped, his voice trembling. "But you should be worried. Someone tampered with the prophecy. They erased her part." He coughed hard, his face pale, his eyes dimming with every passing second.


    Kaito felt a knot form in his chest. He had to help him, but that meant involving Taros. The thought alone made his jaw tighten. Taros would never keep it quiet from Ang if she pressed him, and Renn wasn’t any better. Hiro had too many burdens already. No, this was something he had to do alone.


    He found a piece of cloth and tied it around de’s bleeding toe to stop the flow. "Don’t think I’m doing this to make you feel better," Kaito muttered once he was done. He turned to the table, filled a cup with water, and brought it back. de’s eyes followed it desperately, his throat dry, his lips trembling for even a drop.


    "I want you to survive," Kaito said firmly, pushing the cup toward him. "You are the key to helping me find Dr. Dn."


    "What?" Mr. de’s voice cracked as fear clouded his eyes. "No. I can’t help with that. He is dangerous, and I want you to stay away from him."


    Kaito’s frown deepened. "Do I look scared to you? I want to know who else is working with your brother. And tell me what happened to Evan."


    At the mention of the boy, de’s eyes flickered upward before sinking back to the floor. His shoulders shook as tears gathered, the weight of guilt breaking through. "I feel so bad for what happened to him," he whispered, his chest heavy with regret.


    "I’m not buying that," Kaito snapped, clenching his fists. "You nted Evan in that school to use him against Ang, and then you killed him when he was no longer useful. Don’t deny it. Was it worth it? He was just a boy. He deserved to live."


    "I didn’t, Kaito. I swear I didn’t," de said, his voice rough and filled with pain. "Evan was chosen without my knowledge. By the time I found out, it was already toote."


    Kaito hissed, anger spilling from his chest. "You should have stopped it. You had the chance, but instead you let him die. Do you know what is even worse? His parents still don’t know. They will one day, and when they do, the pain will destroy them."


    "I didn’t kill him. I would never do that, I—"


    "I don’t believe you," Kaito cut him off coldly. His eyes burned into de’s. "Are there more students like Evan?"


    de lowered his head. "To be honest, I don’t know. Maybe there are."


    "You are a waste of time," Kaito muttered. He grabbed the purse, closed it and ced it back on the table. He had no reason to stay longer. "Alex will bring you food. Eat it and gather your strength, because I still need you to talk about your brother and his operation."


    He did not wait for a reply. He turned, climbed the stairs, and left the PIT. The ce was quiet, too quiet, nothing to raise rm.


    He locked the door and turned toward his car, but his heart almost jumped out of his chest when Renn’s car screeched to a stop right beside his.


    Kaito froze. His pulse thundered as he saw Ang seated in the front. She stepped out with Renn following her, and both walked toward him. He forced himself to stay calm, trying to steady his racing heart.


    Did they know? Did they already find out about his secret?


    Shit. That would be bad. If Ang discovered it, she would be furious, and she would demand answers he wasn’t ready to give.

    Hailey walked into the hospital, her steps quick and uneasy. She had already called Taros, and he told her to meet him in theb. When she entered, she found him there with her cousin.

    "Hello, guys," she greeted softly.


    "Hey, cousin," Dr. Dave said warmly, pulling her into a hug. He kissed her cheeks when they broke apart and smiled at her. "You came to see us?"


    "Yes. But I really need to talk to Taros in private," Hailey replied, her eyes moving to him. "Are you busy?"


    Taros was just finishing up, washing his hands. He pulled off hisb coat and walked toward her. They hugged briefly before he nodded. "We spoke already. I told you I’d be avable. Shall we?"


    "Of course," Hailey said with a small smile. She turned back to her cousin and said goodbye before following Taros outside. They walked until they reached the park, where they sat down together.


    "What happened? You said it was important," Taros asked, watching her closely. Her face was pale, her eyes unsettled. Something was wrong. "Tell me."


    Hailey drew in a deep breath, her hands twisting nervously. "It’s my sister. She knows Ang is your mate."


    Taros froze, his chest tightening. "What? I wasn’t expecting that." Shock spread across his face. Principal Valois knowing was dangerous. "So what was her reaction?"


    "That’s the strange part. Nothing. She’s supposed to be furious, she should be dragging Ang away to Luna school, but instead she’s quiet." Hailey shook her head, her shoulders sagging with frustration. "It’s not good, Taros. When she’s quiet, it means she’s nning something."


    Taros narrowed his eyes. "What do you think?"


    "I know her too well," Hailey whispered. "She’s selfish, and she never does anything without reason. The best advice I can give you is to protect your mate. Don’t let Ang out of your sight. And warn your brothers too." She stood up, ncing around the park as if she feared someone was watching. "I have to go."


    "You look scared," Taros said, concern filling his voice. "Tell me what’s going on."


    Hailey shrugged, but the heaviness in her eyes betrayed her. Taros understood immediately. Principal Valois had threatened her again. It wasn’t the first time. "If you don’t feel safe, I can talk to—"


    "No, Taros. You won’t," she cut him off sharply, her tone firm. "We’ll talkter."


    He didn’t stop her. He only watched her leave, his chest heavy with worry. He couldn’t let her go on like this, living in fear of her own sister. Something had to be done.


    Pulling out his phone, he scrolled quickly and pressed call. Renn was the only one who could soften Principal Valois, and right now, that was the only chance they had.
