Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Test (4)

"Wait. Wait a moment," Selene held up her hand to stop him. "You must be better at delivering news like this," Selene said since there was much to think about.

First, Fiona was dead then there was this assumption of her healing from holy weapons again and now, her parents could be alive. There was only so much she could take at once.

"I know I should have eased you into this but if I am right, then you might have a parent who has been awake all this time still under the ground," Xavier said.

They needed to act fast. Despite having the ability to heal, they would lack blood which they needed to stay alive. It was a sensitive matter but Xavier didn’t have time to slowly ease her into this.

For Selene, he wanted to get her parents out of those graves now before they were too late.

Selene didn’t know what to say. If she didn’t know Xavier not to be someone to lie to her then she would have laughed in his face or even slapped him for asking to dig up her parents after the long time it took to get used to their deaths.

"I won’t send anyone to their graves unless I have your permission and unless we can confirm that you hold the power to heal from those weapons. It is a lot I have thrown on you but this requires some urgency," said Xavier.

While Xavier would love to have Selene go on enjoying her day without worrying about this, he knew later on she would not enjoy knowing one of her parents needed to be dug up and he didn’t let her know right away.

Selene didn’t answer Xavier as she walked to a chair to sit down. She needed a moment to grasp all that was said to her.

When Selene buried her parents, never in her wildest dreams would she have thought about digging them up. She would have never allowed anyone to but if there was a chance she could see them again, she was willing to take the chance.

Selene was willing to do it even if Xavier was wrong.

"Try it," Selene said, holding out her hand to Xavier. "Cut me now and see."

Selene noticed Xavier’s hesitation to do it. "I am giving you permission to do it or let me do it myself. If there is a chance I can see them, I want to know now and go there. Please."

Xavier searched for the blade he kept safe in his study and then returned to Selene’s side.

Xavier took Selene’s hand and held it steady to create a small cut. He stopped as soon as she winced and waited to see if a miracle would happen again.

Selene bore with the pain as she waited for the answer to their many questions. It suddenly felt like time decided to move slowly. Nothing seemed to be happening which dampened Selene’s hope.

Even though it was for a short moment, Selene was quite excited about the chance to see her parents again. It was something she dreamt of and could now be true.

Selene pulled her hand out of Xavier’s hold. "It was silly to think-"

"It is healing," Xavier said, pulling her hand back toward him. "Did you drink blood recently?"

"No," Selene shook her head. "Harold served me some but I gave it to Agnes."

"You might heal faster if you drank enough blood before this. You’re immune to holy weapons," Xavier confirmed.
