Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 624 Sacrifice

"Holy god! What in the world was that?" he screamed as he looked at the empty bed. He swore to god that Ethan was lying there just a few seconds ago.

But the moment tears fell on his body.. He vanished!

He was not the only one who was shocked but Eli too. She had seen Evan using the same method but it had only healed Leo but now..

She looked around with confusion but she could not understand what exactly happened.

"You are looking around as if it was a button not a human, Eli! What in the world did you do?" he asked when Eli started to look under the bed or in the closet.

He looked at the girl who slept again on the bed when Eli let her go and started looking for Ethan.

"I didn't know. I did nothing. You were here, I just tried to put some tears of Renee on his wounds. That is it!" she bit her lips and sat on the bed as if her body was giving up.

Andrew was still staring at the bed and touched it but there were no traces of a person lying there.

He sighed and sat beside her.

"We do not know where he went, so we can not look for him. It would be better that we go and check on Hannah and think later what we can do about Ethan.`` She looked at the bed again but nodded her head.

No matter how many times they looked, Ethan was not there anymore.

"You shall go and ask about hannah. I will go and talk to Evan about what happened!" He wanted to stop her but he knew that she was not going to listen.

So, he nodded his head and let her go.

Eli ran to the room of Leo where Evan was and entered without even knocking.

"Evangeline.. Evangeline?" Evan stood up making sure that Leo was still sleeping.

His wounds had healed completely. He was only resting so she was not worried about him anymore but was afraid that something happened to Ethan or Hanna when she heard the panicked voice of Eli.

"Evangeline, Ethan.. He…" she repeated the whole event to Evan whose eyes had widened and she instinctively looked at the empty bed where only Renee was sleeping.

"Do you have any idea what happened there?" she asked when Evan sucked a deep breath but shook her head.

"But I am sure Leo had a better idea about it. He might wake up anytime soon." she assured Eli by rubbing her arms whose face had paled.

"My lady, Lady Hannah, had already given birth to a young boy." a maid came running towards them, "but the maid said that her condition is too weak. She isn't even waking up."

They both forgot about Ethan for a second as they ran towards the room Hannah was resting.

Andrew was holding the young boy wrapped in a towel and was staring at the door where a lot of noises could be heard.

His face had gone ashen with worry. Eli walked towards him and rubbed her shoulders while Evan walked into the room. ｆ𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺

"It is all because of the greed of my father. He had lost his mind completely." he muttered in the tone of self blame as he leaned on the wall as if seeking support from it when she sighed.

"Yes, it is all because of him but you are not him. So you should not blame yourself for it." she warned when the man closed his eyes.

He did not say another word, but she knew it was hard to accept it.

"My lady, lady hannah is not waking up no matter what i do. I do not think that she will make it." said the maid as she rubbed her chest and then her hands but Hannah did not respond at all. "Her body's getting colder every passing second." she added when the face of Evan turned colder.

"Hanah, your husband is already dead and you are going to. Have you ever thought about what will happen to the child then?" she asked in a loud voice as she jerked her shoulders. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

"Leo is in a serious condition and may not make it. Do you think I would be able to protect two kids from the hands of George? Absolutely not! It would be better that I give in already and give your child to him. That way I will at least be able to save my daughter.

Since you want to give up, why will I fight for you?" her cold world and her jerk was getting stronger when the maids were worried that it would affect Hannah negatively who had already gone weaker after giving birth.

"My lady.. The lady is not in a good condition.. I think.." The maids tried to intercept but Even just glared at them.

"You think! What gave you the right to think? If she did not wake up.. Give her child to Andrew and tell him we are ready to give up on the child but spare the lives of the rest of the people. He wanted to kill Ethan and his child so that no one would be there to claim for the throne in the future.

If a child sacrifice could end the war, I am ready for it.`` The maids gasped with horror at her cold and brutal words but no one was able to retort it.

Evan stared at Hanna one last time before standing up.

"Pray for her and let her body rest in peace too." she said in the coldest voice through gritted teeth but her eyes were full of panic and she had already folded her hands for the prayer when Hannah finally stirred, her fingers moved.

Her eyes stirred and a small voice came from her mouth…

"I.. I will not let anyone touch my child. I will protect her till my last breath."
