Chapter 607 My Origins

Author: Flora Hopkins
Belle was confused.

"My origin? My bloodline? What do you know about them?"

"Not much, but for one, I know that you're an Aspen."

Belle was utterly confused by his words.

Gabriel was unaware that Belle was oblivious to her own heritage as he looked at her with suspicion.

"I've already confirmed that you're an Aspen, but you don't have to be alarmed about the fact that I know. I won't be going against you … But you should know better than anyone how dangerous it is to have your identity revealed to the world. Not even Grayson will be able to help you if it happens."

Belle was still dumbfounded by his words.

He continued, "Relax, I won't tell a soul about it. You're a good friend of Ginger, so you're a good friend of mine as well. I've even thought about protecting you for Ginger's sake.

"I'm not one for nefarious schemes. I just want to be by her side for as long as I can, but I can't stay by Ginger's side forever … "

"I'm just making you a deal for more time by her side. This

    Ginger started sobbing uncontrollably as soon she saw Belle and hugged her."Belle, I was so scared! What happened back then? I don't know how I fell unconscious! Are you hurt? Are you okay? Did they do anything to you?"Belle consoled Ginger patiently. "I'm fine! Here, look at me! I'm not injured or anything."Ginger took a deep breath."Thank the gods! If anything were to happen to you, I might die from heartbreak! Why did you stupidly come to my rescue alone? You should have called for help instead of listening to their demands!"She started sobbing once more.She was traumatized by the kidnapping, but she was also grateful that Belle came to her rescue.Belle came to realize that Gabriel did not tell Ginger the truth.She looked up at Gabriel to find him frowning. He had an expression of guilt and sadness over the pain he had caused Ginger.Gabriel looked back at Belle, his expression now mixed with various emotions as if he was trying to convey something.Belle decided n

    "Make haste, Mister." Belle frowned as she urged the driver to speed up.She was especially scared of thunder. She just wanted to hurry up and hide herself under the blanket back on her bed.The driver replied, "This is as fast as I can go without breaking the law, Miss. Besides, it's dangerous to go fast in the rain."The driver glanced at Belle through the rearview mirror, only to find her seemingly distraught by the rain."Relax, Miss. You're safe and sound inside the car! I'll send you directly into your garage later so that you won't get wet, alright?"Belle was upset and scared of the thunderous weather despite the driver's reassurance.The sky was completely blocked by the clouds, as if welcoming the arrival of the final boss in video games.She took a glance out the window and averted her eyes out of fear.Everyone had their own phobias. They could range from an extreme fear of rats, snakes, and even insects. And for Belle, her phobia was the terrible sound of thunder.

    Meanwhile, inside the hotel, Belle was rolled up in the blankets on top of the bed. She wrapped herself tightly in an attempt to ease her fears.Prior to this, she was overstimulated by the weather and had the taxi driver bring her to the nearest hotel.She felt safer in the hotel than in the taxi.But it still was not enough to calm her nerves. The thunderous roars could still be heard from inside her room. It sounded as if the gates of hell had opened up to swallow her whole.The streaks of lightning that lit up the darkened sky seemed like the eyes of the devil. They were constantly gazing at the weak and defeated Belle.She was completely swept up by her fear of thunder and could no longer function as a human being.Thunderous booms rang out once more, scaring Belle into losing her mind.Before she could catch her breath, several more bolts of lightning joined in the fun. It was as if the weather itself was displaying absolute power and toying with her.As Belle continued t

    Belle choked on her tears and spoke like a frightened child, "I'm scared. I… I just saw ghosts… There are ghosts here!""There are no ghosts! You're just frightened.""I saw them! They were in the room with me! They came in from the windows. They were about to drag me down to hell with them … There was also a woman crying … My heart hurts. It hurts so much."Grayson continued consoling her, "Open your eyes. It's safe here. There are no ghosts anymore.""I'm scared.""It's alright. I'm here with you. They won't dare to approach us with me around. Look around, you're safe."Belle carefully opened her eyes and surveyed her surroundings. She saw nothing."What did I say?""I wasn't making things up.""You just mistook something to look human."Grayson was an atheist and did not believe in ghosts and gods. He felt that the ghosts Belle claimed to have seen were simply overstimulation from fear.And that was indeed the case."Let's get out of here." Grayson picked up Belle and he

    Grayson said gently, "Don't worry about it. Robert will be able to handle it.""How is he going to deal with it?""I don't know, but it's his job to do so. If he can't manage to do it, then he would've failed at his job."Belle decided not to probe further into details.Noticing that her emotions had stabilized, he caressed her hair gently."What about you? What happened?"Belle could still hear the woman's wailing echoing in her ears, which made her heart throb with pain.Noticing her current position, Belle immediately sat up straight on the bed. "I don't know. I'm just … afraid of thunder.""Have you been scared of it ever since you were young?""Yeah, I would always have nightmares whenever the weather turned for the worst. My grandpa was always with me to make sure I was okay. But I've never been as scared as today.""What made you so afraid today?""I think it's because I found out that I'm from the Aspen family."Grayson was shocked.  She turned to face him. "I'm a

    Grayson's tone was gentle and warm. His protective gaze on Belle was mixed with various emotions.Belle felt her heartbeat speeding up, but she could not understand why.She subconsciously averted her eyes to avoid looking at Grayson. She even tried to struggle and break free from his embrace.Her efforts were in vain as thunder strikes caused her to retreat back into his arms.He smiled as he lovingly held onto her. It was as if he was consoling a crying child.Knocks came from the door before Sam spoke up, "Mr. Page, the hot stew has been prepared, along with the toiletries that you requested."Grayson whispered to Belle, "Have it while it's hot. It'll help ease your nerves and keep you warm. Don't worry about the ghosts. They won't try anything funny as long as I'm here."He then called Sam into the room.Together with Sam came Simon into the room.When Sam left the hotel, he decided to give a call to Simon and tell him about Belle's abnormal behavior. He was worried that s

    Simon replied, "It depends … But there have been cases where patients died from similar overstimulation."Grayson's expression immediately sank at the news. He wanted to light a cigarette but remembered that Belle hated the smell. He ended up opening the fridge for a cold beverage.He took a big sip to calm himself before looking over at the bathroom."She would wake up crying in the middle of the night due to thunder. Today, she claimed to be seeing ghosts within the room. Maybe it was hallucinations out of fear."Simon looked serious. "She was hallucinating?""Yeah.""This sounds grave … Do you know why she would hallucinate?""Because she was scared.""No, no … I mean, why is she afraid of thunder?""No idea.""Maybe you should visit a neurologist. Belle may be a doctor herself, but she doesn't seem to be able to help herself. We should hurry up and acquire help for her condition now that she's hallucinating."Grayson nodded and said no more.By the time Belle came out o

    Grayson abandoned his rational thoughts and immediately reciprocated Belle's gestures. He held onto her face and kissed her lovingly.Although he was not an experienced kisser, he was, at the very least, better than Belle at making the shot.After a while, the couple started gasping for air.The atmosphere within the room started to heat up. The couple warmed each other up against the cold winter.After kissing for a while, Grayson felt that he could no longer contain his desires and wanted to take it a step further.He pushed Belle under himself, burrowed his hand into her clothes, and felt the softness of her body that he had been longing to touch but hadn't dared to.The sudden overstimulation left the couple stunned.After a few seconds of silence, however, Belle raised her hand and smacked it clean right onto Grayson's cheek before booting him off the bed.Grayson was utterly confused by her actions.Belle's face was bright red as she pulled the blanket over her head.Gr

    Belle playfully reached for Sixteen again. "Come here!"Sixteen barked back, seemingly firm in his stance. "I'll cry if you don't come here, okay?" Belle then held her face in her hands and pretended to cry.Sixteen immediately calmed down as it nudged Belle's hands with its paws, trying to comfort her. Belle broke character, revealing a grin. "Are you still mad at me?"Sixteen, appeased, finally got into her arms and launched into enthusiastic licks.Grayson watched the exchange with a hint of envy. "Hey, Sixteen!"Sixteen whimpered and offered Grayson a sheepish look.Belle scolded, "Why are you scolding Sixteen? You're a bad guy!"She then petted Sixteen on its head and stood up. "Let's go! We'll get something tasty to eat! Just ignore him, okay?"Grayson was left speechless. He felt defeated by the pet dog as he watched Belle and Sixteen skip and hop into the house.Meredith had already finished preparing dinner when they arrived.

    After returning to the house, Ava asked, "Why did Xenia go crazy? Wasn't she fine not long ago?"Lena wiped her hands and handed the towel back to Ava. "Someone drugged her and induced hallucinations of her worst fears. She's been on the edge ever since. After all, she did commit all sorts of misdeeds." "Someone?""Belle Walters."Ava was shocked. "Why would Belle drug Xenia?"Ava and Lena had been moving from place to place, seeking a safe hideout ever since they picked up Xenia. They had only found a relatively safe place today, so Ava finally had the chance to inquire about the details.Lena shot her a look of disgust and proceeded to ignore her question.Ava dared not press further and changed the topic. "Now that Xenia's lost her mind, can we still get her to talk?"Lena continued to ignore her and went to scribble down a prescription. She had spent the entire day with Xenia in the basement but hadn't managed to extract any useful information from her. Ava sheepishly c

    Meanwhile, Ginger, too, was grappling with confusion. She'd also offered Hunter money, only to be stunned into silence by the astronomical sum in his bank statement. Compared to him, she was practically penniless. The largest amount she'd ever held was a few million Gabriel had won in the lottery—a drop in the bucket compared to Hunter's wealth."Why do you think Mr. Sanders was so wealthy?" Ginger queried, seeking Gabriel's insight.Gabriel was similarly grappling with confusion and remained quiet. However, he was preoccupied with a different mystery. His mind was consumed by the deaths of Penny and Terry. He had taken time to visit the corpses and noted the peculiarity surrounding their deaths. Their autopsies revealed unusual injuries that baffled forensics.Both victims, young adults in their prime, looked as if they'd been scared to death.Aware of Hunter's ties to the Nightwalkers, Gabriel wasn't surprised by the inheritance. Compared to the wealth amassed during the Sanders f

    Belle pondered aloud, "While Hunter isn't as averse to exploring tombs as Benjamin, they share a similar disposition. Otherwise, with his expertise, he could easily be making a fortune.""The Sanders ancestors might not have been saints," Grayson conceded, "but perhaps Hunter's grandfather started a positive trend. Like Benjamin, he likely tried to shield Hunter from their legacy. A truly evil man couldn't have raised such a kind son."As Benjamin grew, he remained kind-hearted despite his timidity. And now, Hunter has grown into an upright, kind, and courageous young man. His talent for exploration makes him the pride of his lineage."Belle nodded and sighed. "Money is crucial for a comfortable life today. With what Hunter has, financial worries shouldn't trouble him. He'll be well provided for."Grayson pulled her into his arms and responded, "Don't fret. While Hunter may still be in school, he's mature for his age. He can take care of himself just fine."Belle leaned onto his s

    Hunter crouched by the bed, methodically clearing away the books until a single floor tile lay exposed. Prying it open revealed a dark hole just big enough for one person. Grabbing a flashlight, he squeezed through the narrow opening and emerged into a moderately sized room of perhaps about 130 square feet. Wooden boxes, weathered with age and adorned with simple designs, filled the space.Hunter made a beeline for a particular box, brushing off the dust before prying it open. The wooden box was filled to the brim with notebooks. Hunter sat down on the floor, picked up one of the books, and started reading it.This hidden chamber and its contents were discovered by a young Hunter, seemingly guided by destiny. Hunter's father, Benjamin, had buried them, driven by a desire to safeguard their knowledge from Hunter's curious gaze. Fear had gripped Benjamin after learning about the Sanders family's history, the expertise that had seemingly drawn them toward a dangerous path. He

    Nora let out a long sigh. "It's fine. Just keep it with you! I don't really need the money right away or anything. Besides, an old woman like me won't be spending much in town even if I tried."Hunter stopped Nora as she was about to leave and took a wad of money from his bag. "I have 20,000 dollars right here. It's far from the actual price, but you can keep it for now. I'll pay you the rest when I can."Nora was stunned. "Where did you get so much money?""It's the money I gathered from donations for the funeral, mostly from Ms. Belle and Mr. Grayson.""Oh, that makes sense. Here I was, wondering how you managed to get such a huge amount from donations. I can tell your friends are really kind-hearted people. You should treat them just as well as they treat you, okay? Study hard and make a name for yourself, and then you'll be able to properly repay their kindness.""Yeah, I know. Anyway, the gold nugget weighs slightly over 17 ounces. So, its worth is about 37,500 dollars. I'll pay y

    As the final step of the funeral, the townsfolk gathered for a meal after Benjamin's burial.  After Benjamin was buried, Belle and Ginger approached Hunter, inquiring about his plans for the future. Belle expressed her desire for Hunter to stay with her and Grayson, mentioning that their house had plenty of spare rooms. The only drawback would be that it was quite the distance from his school, but they could always arrange a driver for him.Ginger also invited Hunter to stay with her and Gabriel as their house had just finished with renovations. They also had a spare room for Hunter if he were to join their house.Hunter was genuinely touched by their offers, but he still declined them both. "I'd like to stay in my school's hostel for now. I'll think about what to do next when I graduate."Belle and Ginger recognized that they couldn't sway Hunter's decision, so they ceased their attempts to pressure him into making a choice."If you run out of space for your belongings, you ca

    Hunter detailed, "I recall every person who came to offer prayers for my father... However, it was during my trip to the restroom that the dogs began barking. Upon my return, I spotted some unfamiliar footprints. Without seeing anyone there, I dismissed it. But upon hearing about Penny and Terry's deaths this morning, I began to connect the dots..."Both Gabriel and Grayson were left speechless.Gabriel exchanged a glance with Grayson before turning back to Hunter. "So, you're suggesting that the stranger who came to town also visited your house to pray for your father before departing to exact revenge on Penny and Terry for Mr. Sanders' death?""Yes.""Why didn't he meet you then?""I don't know.""Any other suspects you have in mind?"Hunter shook his head. "My father and I don't have friends other than you guys. It's just the two of us for as long as I can remember.""Could it be someone else from the Sanders family?" asked Gabriel."I don't think so. I'm an only child, and

    Belle, Ginger, and the rest of the group arrived at 8:00 am. They noticed the crowd alongside police cars at the entrance to the town. The two of them then squeezed through the crowd to make it to the house as soon as they could. "What happened, Hunter?"The policemen were stunned by their sudden arrival. "Who are you?""We're Hunter's friends. You can tell us about what happened."Hunter's eyes gleamed with hope as he greeted them. "Ms. Belle and Ms. Ginger!"Grayson's car stopped in front of the town alongside a truck filled with equipment for the funeral.Without Belle and Grayson's friendship, Hunter would have had to manage all the funeral arrangements alone, and he wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet Ginger.Sam remained outside to stand guard while Grayson and Gabriel entered the Sanders family's old home.The townsfolk and the police were shocked when they saw them.They didn't recognize Grayson or Gabriel, but they could tell at a glance that they were really special peo
