Chapter 106: The Diamond Returns To Its Original Owner (Last Chapter)
Time passes quickly, four seasons pass one after another. Every day, Samson and Lucasta worked together to clean the two castles, grow flowers, and vegetables, cook, and paint. Whatever they do, they do it together.
Although Samson and Lucasta did not know whether Maris and the owls would return to their old place or not, he and she still took care of the castle opposite and kept it clean.
These days, Lucasta keeps singing all day. Whenever Samson caught her singing and teasing the wild cats and whispering to them that her husband was about to become human again, he felt a pain in his heart.
He was also very happy because the day he was free from the curse was near, but every time he helped her draw blood, his heart felt like someone was cutting it with a knife.
– It’s time to take the antidote. Lucasta grabbed a syringe and a glass, ran to Samson, and held out her arm in front of him.
Samson smiled, gently rubbed her pale skin, then carefully inserted the needle, drawing out a little blood, then put it in a glass and drank it all.
After nearly a year of donating blood to him, her body was visibly weak, her skin was no longer as white and pink as before, and only her smile and sparkling blue eyes remained intact.
Although Michael still comes here regularly at the end of every week, buying beef, supplements, and red vegetables to replenish her blood, they still cannot replace the amount of blood drained quickly.
Although Bella offered to give Lucasta an additional blood transfusion, she was afraid that if her blood mixed with someone else’s blood, it would not be effective in breaking the sun god’s curse, so she refused.
– Thank you, it’s been hard for you. He put down the empty glass, pulled her to sit on his legs, and buried his head in her lap.
– Just a few more days. We’re almost at our destination. She stroked his jet-black hair and said happily.
At night, when Lucasta fell asleep, Samson was still awake. He lifted her small hand, rough with scars left by needles, and gently kissed it as if to soothe her pain.
He wants nothing more than to have someone who loves him and sacrifices for him like this.
– Samson, are you not asleep yet? Lucasta opened her eyes dreamily, yawned, and asked.
– Yes, I’ll look at you for a bit and then sleep.
– What’s up? You look at me every day and you’re not bored? She raised her hand to caress his face and smiled.
– No? I still don’t think it’s enough. Come here.
He lifted her head, gently slid his arm down for her to rest her head on, then pulled her close, holding her tightly in his arms.
Who can get bored of a lovely, loyal, and cheerful girl like her?
Another week passed and when the marked calendar was torn up, it was time for Lucasta to no longer need to have her blood drawn.
Without an appointment, he and she both turned to look at each other and smiled.
Samson also felt that during this time, his speed had decreased, his strength was no longer as supernatural as before, and his bloodlust no longer caused him too much pain or discomfort.
– Lucasta, please come with me to this place this afternoon.
– Yes, wherever you take me, I will go. She was obedient like a little cat, swooping into his arms.
The moment the purple sunset fell was also the moment Samson took Lucasta out of the forest.
He could only carry her on his back for a deserted road, then stop, catch a bus into the city, then continue to buy a train ticket to a small province.
It’s been a long time, more than a thousand years since he returned to the place where he was once cursed by the sun god.
The journey was quite far, so after eating the cake he bought for her, Lucasta leaned on his shoulder and slept until the train stopped at the last stop before she woke up.
In her sleepiness, she followed him to a temple located in a not-too-dense forest.
– This place is so deserted. She looked around and spoke softly.
– Yes, because it’s night. If you go during the day, there will be a lot of people coming here to worship the gods. He happily replied.
After all these years, the temple still stands firm against the impacts of nature, with only a few cracks on the pillars and under the steps, where worshipers often come and kneel.
As far as Samson knows, from the time he repaired the temple, until now, no company or anyone has dared to accept this job despite being well paid.
The legend of a person who was cursed and turned into a bloodthirsty creature because he dared to change the architecture at the top of the tower was passed down from generation to generation, making people not dare to touch it.
– Follow me. Samson took Lucasta’s hand and pulled her inside.
As she walked, she observed the temple built from gray honeycomb stone, a material that gave people a feeling of sadness.
The constant wind blew, making the temple even colder.
When she heard Samson say he would take her to the temple of the sun god, she thought it would be a place filled with bright sunlight during the day and even if night fell, there would still be warmth left by the sun.
– Oh, it’s so beautiful. She exclaimed when she saw the bas-reliefs.
– Yes. When I was repairing the temple, the government also intended to bring them to the museum, but perhaps because they heard that I was cursed, they did not dare to move them anymore.
After taking Lucasta on a tour around the temple, he took her to the foot of the stairs leading to the top of the tower and told her to stand still and wait for him to return.
The moment that both he and she had been waiting for was almost here, making them extremely nervous.
She looked at Samson’s feet until they were completely out of sight, then clasped her hands, praying to the sun god to keep his promise and return him to his human status, so that he could feel like he was truly alive.
Samson walked quickly on the steps leading to the top of the tower.
When he arrived, he carefully took off the diamond from his collar and placed it back in its place, where it should have been for a thousand years.
– God Apollo, please break the curse for me. Samson said as he knelt.
Crimson light suddenly flashed. Rays of light passed through the gaps, and fell down the stairs, illuminating the place where Lucasta was standing.
She was both happy and worried and wanted to run up there to see how Samson was, but because he had told her to stay still, she told herself to stay still.
And then the moment she saw him slowly walking down, she almost held her breath.
– Samson.
– Yes, I’m here.
– You… have become a human, right? The curse has disappeared, right?
– Right. Lucasta, now, we can have a baby.
She raised her hand to cover her mouth and burst into tears because she was so emotional.
Quick as a squirrel, she ran to him and hugged him. Samson wasn’t much better than her, tears fell from his eyes.
More than a thousand years, an almost endless period, imprisoned him in the guise of a vampire, making him feared and shunned by humans.
Tonight, he deliberately did not use blood and as he was gradually approaching the top of the tower, the thirst for blood was making him painful and dizzy.
However, the moment the diamond glowed, he felt like his body was being drenched by a cool rain, incredibly light and comfortable. At that moment, he knew he had been liberated.
Because it was dark and Samson had completely lost his supernatural abilities, he had to rent a hotel room to spend the night with Lucasta.
Fortunately, Michael and Bonita had made them identification documents, so they could easily rent a room in the middle of the night.
– Please be angry so I can confirm whether your eyes are still red or not. Lucasta playfully pressed her hands against Samson’s cheeks and asked him to get angry.
– I can’t be mad at you, stop trying to check. Wait until the sun comes up tomorrow and you’ll know. He removed her hand and held her in his arms, patting her back to help her sleep easily.
However, the little girl kept wiggling and wanted to verify whether he had turned into a human or not.
She even asked him to let go of her, let her go to the reception desk, and ask the staff for some garlic cloves or to borrow them a cross.
– If you mess up again, I’ll punish you. Let’s go to sleep, tomorrow we have to go back to the city. – He said in a serious voice.
– You’ve lost all your strength, what can you do to me? Lucasta pouted.
– Are you sure? Let me tell you, I only lost the strength of a vampire, but the strength of a twenty-year-old man remains.
He smiled seductively, moving his fingers back and forth across her pink lips.
As a result, Lucasta’s stubbornness caused her to cry without a sound because the man tormented her all night, and he did not let her sleep. It was not until dawn that he let her go.
Tiredness made her fall asleep but the sweet and happy feeling still lingered on her lips. In a short dream, she dreamed of lovely plump babies surrounding her.
The boy looks like him, the girl looks like her, and their house is filled with children’s laughter and filled with sunlight when the doors are opened.
The sunlight in her dream had come out and gently shone on her face, causing her to open her eyes.
Right at the glass door, the curtain had been pulled open and her man was standing there, wearing only black pants, revealing his bare back.
From this angle, she finds him very attractive. The morning sunlight penetrated through the glass covering his body, making him shine like a god.
– Samson. She sat up and called out.
– Yes, are you awake? How’s that? Have you believed it yet? Samson quickly let go of the curtain, ran to her side, and hugged her.
– I believe it, I’m reassured. I’m so happy.
– Me too, I feel like I’ve just been reborn.
They hugged and kissed for a while longer before leaving the bed and packing their luggage to prepare to return to the city and visit their friends.
Although Lucasta wants to stay in the forest forever, Samson says that once they have children, he will take the whole family to the city to live because the children have to catch up with normal life.
And importantly, they need to be educated to become excellent heirs, and together with Ricky, manage Star Corporation, bringing jobs to more than ten thousand employees.
While they were on their way back to the city, electronic newspapers posted information that a diamond that had been stolen for more than a thousand years had appeared on top of the tower of the temple of the sun god.
Without an appointment, Michael, Bonita, and Calantha all read the article at the same time and at the same time went to the window, looking up at the bright sun above.
– Samson, Lucasta, congratulations.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
