Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 687 Soul Missing

Lucifer reached out and clasped Julia’s shoulders, "Don’t worry, I will definitely find a way. You haven’t rested well these past few days, go back to your room and rest for a while."

"No, I want to wait for Vivian to wake up."

"Good girl, you go rest first, I’ll stay here with our daughter. When she wakes up, I’ll have someone immediately call you. You need to be well rested, otherwise if you collapse when she awakens, she will be very worried."

It wasn’t easy, but Julia was eventually persuaded to return to her room to rest. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

And in this sick room, only Lucifer remained, standing quietly, looking at his daughter lying on the hospital bed, her complexion deathly pale.

Without uttering a word.

Since his youth, Lucifer had always wanted to conquer the Universe, and naturally, he had done a lot and often hovered on the edge of life and death.

As he grew older, especially after meeting Julia, he suddenly felt that having a family was a good thing.

A gentle wife, lovable children...

When Vivian was born, Lucifer was overjoyed, he even flew his spaceship wildly around, nearly crashing into a black hole.

But none of this could quench the happiness brimming in Lucifer’s heart.

However, later on, his daughter’s health wasn’t great. Despite being a Beastman, her constitution was no better than that of a pure human, plus at that time, he was always hiding and living an unsettled life.

Therefore, Lucifer had no choice but to let Julia take their daughter to a more stable planet.

However, when war later broke out, Lucifer had to admit that the safest place was on the planet of his arch-enemy Gu Jue, Landis Star...

Moran pushed the door open and saw Lucifer standing there, the corners of his eyes red.

She glanced at Vivian, who had been sleeping longer and longer.

"Brother..."

Lucifer turned to look at her, his eyes filled with sorrow, "Moran, tell me, is it because I’ve done too many bad things, that there’s retribution?"

Moran’s brows slightly furrowed.

Lucifer, as though he had found a vent for his emotions, exclaimed, "But why? The retribution should fall on me, shouldn’t it? Vivian is so young, innocent, she’s never done anything wrong. How could she contract such an illness?"

"Brother, calm down, listen to me," Moran took a deep breath, and decided to share her recent doubts, "Brother, Vivian’s condition, it resembles what I went through as a child."

Lucifer abruptly looked up.

Moran continued, "I wasn’t sure before, but after so long, no doctor has been able to cure her... Actually, we had gone to the hospital on Landis Star before, and when they couldn’t determine Vivian’s illness, I suspected."

Lucifer became agitated, "Moran, hurry up and tell me, what exactly is going on? When you were a child..."

His words halted, and he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

Because Lucifer and Moran were half-siblings, although they were brother and sister, they hadn’t grown up together.

Lucifer was unclear about what his sister had gone through.

Moran wasn’t hung up on that detail; she continued, "When I was little, there was a period when I would constantly fall into a deep sleep. Back then, they almost decided to abandon me."

"Later, by a stroke of fate, that woman met someone steeped in mysticism, who said that your daughter has ’Soul Displacement Disorder’. To put it simply, her soul is incomplete and unstable. If she can live past eighteen, then she can survive."

"In this respect, Vivian is very much like me."

Confused, Lucifer said, "But Vivian is already eighteen this year."

Moran enunciated each word, "Then that suggests a possibility, Vivian’s soul is incomplete, part of her soul is in another space-time and has not returned."

"And when I... during the times I was asleep, in fact, I was living in another space-time."

"Where?"

"In today’s terms... on Ancient Earth."

"What?!"

Lucifer stared blankly at his sister, then turned to look at his daughter lying in a coma on the hospital bed.

He murmured, "That old man, he had followed Queen Gaia and traveled through time and space. Later, when I collaborated with Doris, in order to chase down Su Wan, I also crossed time and space several times..."

Moran spoke in a tone as casual as if she were talking about someone else.

She said, "So, the old man crossed time and space several times, and after I was born, I was affected by him, leaving my soul incomplete. Later, you did the same, and that affected Vivian."

"Soul incompleteness? What can we do about it?"

Moran looked at her brother, her eyes showing rare panic, knowing her brother truly cared about his daughter.

She spoke softly, "Go find the part of Vivian’s soul that she lost. Bring it back, and she will recover."

It sounded easy to say, but it was difficult to do.

Because they had no idea where the missing part of Vivian’s soul might have gone.

Lucifer made a decisive decision, "Moran, you stay here and help me take care of them, the mother and daughter. I’ll go find Doris."

Moran’s eyes half-closed, "Doris is now a subordinate of the Insect God, and you guys were enemies before. Will she still help you?"

Lucifer: "Don’t know, but let’s give it a try."

If he didn’t find his daughter’s lost soul, Vivian might one day really fall asleep and never wake up.

Forever asleep.

Lucifer turned around to leave, but as he reached the doorway, he paused, turned back to look at his sister Moran, "Back then, how did you find your lost soul? The old man probably wouldn’t have done it..."

The old man, who was their biological father, was a madman. In his younger days, he followed Queen Gaia, was later banished by her for his mistakes, and then became a Star Thief, taking the path of pillaging and slaughtering.

The mothers of both Lucifer and Moran were taken by their father in raids.

This was why even though the siblings didn’t get along well, they still felt sympathy for each other’s similar fates, which is why Moran was willing to acknowledge this brother.

Moran spoke softly, "I killed myself at that time to bring the soul back."

Lucifer was stunned.

Moran looked at him seriously, "Because I inadvertently found out that there were two people inside my body, and in fact, I was the newcomer. Only by killing the other soul and letting this body die, would my piece of the soul return to its original place."

"And such a thing... Vivian could never do it."

Thinking of his daughter’s kindness and gentleness, Lucifer silently nodded, then pushed the door open and walked out.

Doris had been feeling quite bored lately.

She stood in the control room, looking at the numbers, and then tilted her head to look at Xi Le, "That Freya really hasn’t made any move recently? How can she be so weak? A queen of the insects, and she’s been reduced to this, it’s truly disgraceful!"

Xi Le spoke with indifference, "When you were the Insect Queen, you weren’t much better."

Doris: "Hmph, at least I was stronger than her!"

Xi Le, curious: "If you were her, what would you do?"
