The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 526

Chapter 526: PLEASE, TAKE CARE OF HER

Iris was shocked when she realized Haco forgot her momentarily, though it was only for a few seconds, she knew that Haco was being honest and didn’t fake it.

"How can you forget me, Haco..." Iris was dreadful, though the sorcerer simply waved his hand and played it off, as if it was not something important.

"I am getting old, remember? I am no longer in my prime, it’s normal for me to forget a thing or two. Do not think too much about it," Haco said offhandedly.

However, both of them knew it was the side effects of the lycan leaving him.

"He has become more and more forgetful."

Both of them turned their heads toward the source of the voice and Iris could see the little girl she had been seeing around Haco ever since the funeral. This girl was also the reason why the old sorcerer kept coming to the orphanage.

Iris was not sure why Haco was so fond of this girl in the first place, but seeing how well he was actually being with her, she didn’t have any complaints. From what Iris learned, Celia was the little sister of one of the young warriors who died during the mission in the mountain. The reason why Haco took care of this girl must be something related to it.

"Good evening, Luna," Celia greeted Iris politely, before she continued to spill the beans. "He also forgot about the concoction he made, he put in the wrong ingredients and healer Grace got so furious because of that."

"The ingredients look almost the same," Haco retorted, scoffing. "More so, why are you snitching on me to her?"

"So, the Luna will know that you are not capable of going on a long journey, you need to rest." Celia pursed her lips.

"You are talking nonsense again. Have you read the book that I told you to read?" Haco changed the topic.

"I just learned how to read, how can I read such a thick book with complicated words?" Celia complained. She had been learning how to read from Haco, but she didn’t really like it, the words gave her a headache.

"Go outside and learn more," Haco pushed the little girl away after shoving another book into her arms. It was written in Andel language and this made Iris raise her brows, but she said nothing, because she knew Haco only wanted to get this girl to go out of the room, knowing Iris wanted to discuss something important, while Celia still couldn’t tell the difference between the two languages.

"Huft! You are so mean," Celia grumbled, but she walked out of the room, hugging the book close to her chest. She smiled at Iris politely before she pursed her lips again when she averted her gaze toward the old sorcerer.

"What is it? Do you want to talk about the lycan again?" Haco asked Iris, once it was only the two of them. This was not the hour where they used to meet to discuss the magic that she could wield and for Iris to learn more about the Holy Kingdom, the Serafim and the power she held, therefore, if she was here right now, there must be something to be talked about.

"No. Yes..."

Haco frowned. "What is it? Yes or no? What do you want to talk about?" He leaned his back against the backrest of the sofa, looking lazy and exhausted.

"Probably what Celia said is right, you need to take some rest and do not need to be on this long journey," Iris said doubtfully. "I think I can ask Cane whether it is possible or not, for you not to go."

Iris was worried about Haco and more so, she was still in denial that this old sorcerer was dying. Subconsciously, she still believed Grace could do something about his constantly declining health. The healer could find a way to cure him.

However, after seeing how Haco’s memory was failing along with his body, she knew it was happening. He started to show how easily his health declined no matter what kind of concoction Grace made for him.

Iris was mortified, as she felt like she caught a glimpse of something that could happen to Cane. This was what would happen to Cane if the lycan was separated from him.

Her heart became even heavier again.

On the other hand, Haco was silent for a while, before He spoke briefly. "No matter where I go, I am dying Iris. It will be better for me to knot all the loose ends as much as possible than playing a grandfather to these orphaned children. No offense to them, but I am still useful and needed on the journey to the Silver River pack. I have never been there before." He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, as if this was not a big deal to him.
