The Dark Side Of Fate by Karima Sa'ad Usman novel Chapter 263

~Leo~

We did not leave the underground lab until late in the night. The Kappa driving us had made friends with some female scientists and was sad that we were living. I let him know there was time for everything and this was the time to be focused.

Nelson wasn't thrilled about Clay leaving, so he pleaded with Clay to visit when he could.

"We left the place, and our Van was intact where we kept it in the woods. Our visit was successful, and our trip out of Hayland was peaceful.

Although we remained vigilant throughout the drive back, no one was chasing us.

"I can't believe that was Erik," Devin finally said. We were all amused that it was Erik. We expected a brawny tall man with Stepanov features, but what we saw was a scruffy, short skinny man with Stepanov features. I wondered why he had two eye colours.

"Why are his eyes like that?" Devin asked because Erik was the first Stepanov that would have two eye colours.

"Leo, ask your father when we get home. He seems to be friends with Erik," Theodore said, and I nodded. I was equally curious.

"I guess it went well," Clay said, bringing our attention to our achievement, and everyone agreed.

We arrived at Mountain at night and decided to go to bed.

Theodore promised to convey everything to Sylvester via the mind link while we all waited to discuss the issue in the morning.

I hoped we wouldn't have to cook again because I was tired and needed good food.

I entered my room quietly, and Amelia slept peacefully in bed.

I went to shower, snuggled beside her, and spooned her.

She adjusted to fit into my embrace, and sleep came for me too.

I woke up in the morning on an empty bed. The sounds coming from the bathroom indicated Amelia was there. I heard retching sounds, so I got up quickly to see what was happening.

Amelia was sitting by the toilet seat. It was clear as he was vomiting.

She looked pale, but her eyes lit up when she saw me and smiled.

"I heard it is morning sickness. They said it goes away eventually," She said, and I went to her.

"Good morning," I said, squatting in front of her, and she smiled and patted my cheek.

"'Good morning, Hope you are ready for kitchen duty?" she asked with a mischievous grin, and I grumbled.

She giggled and soon started retching again.

I patted her back gently and rubbed it while she tried to vomit. Her stomach was empty, so she just spat into the toilet.

We were there for ten minutes; then, I decided to run a hot bath for her to sit in and relax.

After spending forty minutes together in the tub, we exited the bath and prepared for the day.

Amelia headed to the dining room while I went to the kitchen. Surprisingly, the food was ready, and they seemed to have done a fantastic job.

"There were croissants, bagels, bacon, sausages, baked beans, garlic bread and onion soup with cheese.

"How?" I asked, and Sylvester looked at me and winked.

"How isn't a greeting," he said, and I greeted them laughing.

I went to the oven and touched it. It was warm then I saw the trash and widened my eyes.

There were boxes and empty food packs from a confectionery, a pastry shop and a restaurant. The food was bought, and I was sure the soup was too. They were cheating.

"This is cheating," I said, and David shook his head.

"Technically not," he said.

"I remembered the rule. They said we were in charge of food for a week, and the Omegas weren't allowed to help us. That was all. They did not prohibit us from buying food and serving it. Thanks to head Omega Macy, we purchased the finest food from the stores. We have three pregnant women, and we cannot subject them to top crap," David said, and I frowned, wondering who was the third.

"Three? I thought it was just Avery and Amelia?" I asked, and David nodded.
