Chapter 609 Killed His Own Son
Chapter 609 Killed His Own Son
The eyes of everyone did not even notice what happened.
It was not like how it was described in the books where everything happened in such slow motion that the hero was able to escape or think about saving others.
Andrew only blinked when his body had risen in the air and then had fallen into the distance and hit the pillar of the other side.
He moaned in pain when his back felt like it was split apart and his whole body was burning.
His eyes closed and he felt agony. He could hear the shriek and loud noise but it felt so distant and the darkness in front of his eyes only felt the real thing mixed with the wetness all over his body.
"Andrew, andrew!" he heard someone shouting his name but his eyes did not open as if they were glued.
He tried but it didn't work, so he gave up slowly.
He felt someone holding him and he swore that it hurt like hell when that happened but soon his mind gave up and he felt the darkness covering him completely cutting his connection with the outer world.
Everything was on fire. The whole place was burning after the explosives blasted.
It was the latest technology not many were aware of and none of them had ever thought about it, much less be prepared against it.
The knights were burnt to the core and died instantly. Luckily Leo was standing a bit away from the point where the explosive blasted.
He was just thrown back due to the impact but his clothes had caught fire too.
The knights who were standing around and saw the scene with stunned eyes took a few seconds before they ran towards them to save everyone.
No one cared where George went. Everyone was trying to save others when two knights came forward to help Andrew.
At the same moment, Leo reached there. His eyes widened looking at the scene.
He ran towards Andrew too and held it in his arms. He tried to shake him and called his name many times but the man did not respond.
His whole body was burning and it was clear that he was going to die. Even if he was saved. He would not be able to live like that anymore.
With a burnt body, what would he have?
George was too cruel to do this to his own son. What kind of a beast was he! Leo cursed as he held Andrew in his arms and started running without waiting for the other knights.
"You have to live in Andrew. If not for yourself, then for Eli. you have to live." he muttered in the ears of the man as he held him in his back and ran towards the nearest physician room.
The man was shocked by the trembling of the ground. He was coming out of that shock when he saw their new emperor taking his last breath.
His whole face was charred black and his body was burning. Though the fire was extinguished by Leo, it still has the wound and burning injuries.
"What in the world happened to him?" He covered his mouth to hide the gasp but it was already late.
"Can you save him?" Leo ignored the fear and shock on the face of the man as he asked the question when the physician gulped.
"I.. I am not sure. I did not know." he said as he came closer to Andrew and checked his pulse.
"He is still living. Maybe if we dress all his wounds and give him some healing medicines." he said in a fearful voice when Leo closed his eyes and sighed.
At least the physician should not tremble and speak confidently to make others believe in him.
"Do anything that you can but save him. I did not want him to die. Do you get that?" Leo placed Andrew on the bed gently afraid that his action would bring more harm to him.
Leo was still unconscious when the physician tried to take off his clothes that were glued to his wounds.
He cleaned the wound a bit and applied ointment as he took out his shirt slowly. Those parts that did not come out, he used a blade and knife or scalpel to take them out.
Sweat had already started to cover his face as it only took him hours to take out the shirt.
"Do you need any help?" asked Leo who was not able to leave this place with a tensed look on his face.
"Yes, hold him up a bit so that i could clean the wounds on his back too." Leo nodded and held Andrew's shoulders with both arms making sure that he was holding the uninjured part when the physician started to work on the back.
It took both of them a long time in cleaning all his wounds and then dressing them up.
"Why is he still unconscious?" asked Leo as it had been hours but Andrew was sleeping without a single moment.
It gave very ominous thoughts to Leo who felt his heart sinking in.
"It is due to so much blood loss and shock that his body went into deep sleep. He will not wake up for a day or two my lord. He needs that rest for recovery.`` Leo could only nod but he was already afraid of what he would tell Eli and Evan when he would return.
At the same time anger and agony started to fill him. Just how greedy could a man be! He swore that he will find out where George is and kill him with his own two bare hands.
"My lord, you can let him go now. I need to give him some supplements and healing medicines.'' The physician started to concoct a liquid so that it could be fed to him slowly when Leo sighed.
"Then I will come back in an hour to see his condition. If there is anything, inform Ian or me instantly."
