Unconscious Husband: Meet Her Love In Silence

Zayden’s sinister laughter echoed over the roof.

“See, Holden, I’m still offering you a choice.

”

“One of them will live, and the other will die.

” Zayden walked to the edge of the rooftop, leaned over, and smiled maliciously at Holden.

“Don’t worry.

Whichever one survives, I’ll take care of them.

They’ll know their father’s killer raised them.

Imagine the great life they would have.

”

After a pause, with a playful glint in his eyes, Zayden said, “Make a choice, Holden.

Who do you want to save?”

The mechanical arms’ vibrations roused the two children from their slumber.

Melon blinked sleepily, his ears catching Zayden’s voice.

His heart raced as he realized he was suspended in the air, fear gripping him.

Instinctively, he let out a scream, struggling until clarity returned.

Memories flooded back.

He had accompanied a servant to the bathroom to see Adele.

But the moment he entered, a blow had struck him unconscious.

Lowering his gaze, he spotted his father.

He then turned and saw Adele, who was also hung up.

Her small face contorted in fear.

Sensing Melon’s gaze, Adele’s lips trembled.

A raspy plea eventually escaped her.

“Melon, help!”

Fear gnawed at Melon, but seeing Adele’s distress, he forced it down.

Gritting his teeth, he projected calmness.

“Don’t worry, Adele.

Look, Daddy’s here.

We’ll be alright.

”

Zayden turned his head at Melon’s words, a twisted smile playing on his lips.

“Well, well, quite the brave soldier, aren’t you? Not a whimper in such a predicament.

Perhaps if you survive this, I’ll face some trouble.

”

Melon locked eyes with Zayden.

“We’ll both survive,” he declared, trying to stand his ground.

“Dad will save us.

”

“Your father?” Zayden scoffed.

“Unfortunately, boy, your precious Daddy can only choose to let one of you live.

”

His smile widened, sending shivers down Melon’s spine.

“Actually, you’re quite a remarkable child.

If you weren’t Holden’s son, I might even consider letting you be my godson.

”

Melon clenched his fists.

Mustering his courage, he yelled, “Uncle Zayden, why are you doing this? We’re family! Why would you hurt your own family?”

Zayden sighed theatrically, the smile never leaving his face.

“Ah, such a tragic turn of events.

Why indeed? We could have been a family, but your father… Your heartless father forced my hand.

Such a pity.

But hey, at least you can be a family again, in the afterlife.

”

“My Daddy isn’t heartless!” Melon snapped back, his anger rising as he defended his father.

“He is a good father.

He’s kind to me, Mommy, and Adele.

He cares deeply for us.

He’s not a heartless person!”

The smile vanished from Zayden’s face.

He approached Melon, his gaze softening into an unsettling fondness.

“Truly? But the unfortunate reality is, your father can’t save both of you now.

I’ve offered him a choice.

He can only pick one of you to live.

Who do you think he’ll choose…”

He trailed off, his eyes flickering to Adele.

“You… Or Adele?”

Melon remained silent, jaw clenched, tears stinging his eyes.

Zayden reveled in his misery.

He said, “Maybe you should call out to your father and beg him to save you.

Maybe that’ll sway his decision.

Your stupid sister can’t speak for herself, can she?”

“Adele isn’t stupid!” Melon shouted, his voice thick with anger.

He tried to lunge forward but realized he was restrained.

“Dad won’t choose! We’re both precious to him.

We’re not objects to be picked from a shelf!”

Zayden’s grin became wider.

“Well, isn’t that something? You’re still so stubborn even after seeing the crocodiles!”

Melon fought hard to hold the tears threatening to spill from his eyes.

Taking a couple of steps back, Zayden said, “Guess it’s time to see if your father has the guts to make a choice.

” He nodded to his lackeys, signaling them to let down the ropes.
