Chapter 42

"Let's think about the things you've been through and what you felt when you did them. You may have a way, but you haven't figured it out yet."
Eric started to think while Phoenix helped him by saying...
"Think of recent events, as they were not forgotten in your memory sufficiently. A thing when you did it, you felt that your heart was relaxed, calm and reassured, and you feel that it will comfort you if you repeat it."
Eric was silent for a moment, and he thought about Carl, in pain because of him.
Eric sat up and looked toward Phoenix with a smile.
"You're a great Phoenix, I found her!"
Phoenix concealed his cunning smile as he already knew but nevertheless asked him.1
"what is it?"
"Seeing Carl's face in pain..and making my ears rejoice to hear his symphony of groans and loud cries..this is like cold water on my heart, Phoenix."
Phoenix stood up and reached out to Eric.
"Do you need to empty now?" He asked with a gentle smile behind which lies evil.
Eric grabbed his hand and smiled at him, too.
"You already understand me!"1
They kept walking and talking about various things, during which Eric was talking about his past in all its details.
"You know, little master?"
"What Phoenix?"
"I'm starting to feel like I don't want the contract to ever end so we don't part, I'm really glad to be with you!"1
"Me too," smiled Eric, who seemed to be driving himself into the abyss.
Thomas grabbed Scott by the collar and pulled him close to him so tightly that Scott's hair was scattered.
There was silence between them for a moment, They both look into each other's eyes as if they are looking for something in them.
"I feel it, little boy," said Thomas, looking at Scott calmly.
"You're cold even though I killed your son."
As cold as you stand in front of your father's killer
They looked at each other quietly for a moment, until the conversation started again.
"What did you feel, my father's contractor?"
"You won't understand," Scott nudged him, looking into his eyes again.
"what is wrong with you!" Scott said annoyed.
"It's over what I wanted from you, you can leave."
On the other hand, Thomas received a punch from him and he was really annoyed by Thomas' behavior towards him.
........
Reagan entered Carl's room and saw his sons hovering around Carl's devices..
Reagan raised an eyebrow.
"You want to run away"
The five panicked and tensed, and everyone turned towards him.
Reagan laughed lightly.
"All your mother must wake up, go see her."
The five ran out as Carl and Reagan's eyes met.
Carl felt nervous as he looked at Reagan and with a strange feeling, he wanted to see his mother as well.. Then he looked at his devices sadly..
He doesn't know to thank Eric that he came here near this family? Or does he threaten him with death because he is unable to go and see his mother in this condition?
I lowered his head as Reagan walked towards him.
"I'll tell you something you'll wonder about."
Carl turned towards him, why is everyone surprised today?
"My children have inherited this from me." Indeed, Carl was surprised when he saw Reagan blocking the flow of blood to Carl's body and keeping it quietly away from him, leaving the needle alone in his hand.
Carl looked at him in amazement.
"You don't know if she goes back to sleep when she will wake up again, so come and talk to her, she really misses you."
Tears pooled in Carl's eyes, but he held them back as Reagan helped him up.
Thank you, Mr. Reagan.
They both entered and his mother did not turn to him after talking to her children, each of them longing for the other..
"You kids," Reagan said while everyone turned to him and as soon as they saw Carl they moved away from their mother's angle so that her eyes fell into Carl's...
"Carl" she said with tears running as he walked with steps trying to hide what was inside, until he reached her and hugged her while she was lying crying while she patted his head.
"I miss you mom..."
Aleister looked at Jasper and came close to him to whisper in his ear.
"And what is your relationship with you? You almost cry?"
Jasper lightly hits him in the flank and threatens with his eyes while Harvey is already crying but quickly wipes his tears.
"Why do I see you hurt, my little one?" She said it to her son, whom she already misses.
"Don't worry mom, I'm fine, you've become a man and I will protect myself with all my strength, so take care of your health please, I want to see you always wake up"
"Have you visited me before?" I nodded in agreement while she smiled because her son was able to reach her..
"Stop Carl, you have to go back to bed and get the blood flowing back, your face is pale."
He looked angry and upset, but before he could speak.
"You have to go baby, we'll meet often, don't worry."
Carl quietly walked away from her to leave with Reagan, his heart not wanting to take a single step away from his mother.
"Who this time!?" Nicholas said, surprised, looking at Thomas who was standing behind his desk.
His clothes were messy and he started arranging them.
"That Rex's twin is a savage kid, I tied him up in the basement for his punishment," said Thomas coldly.6
"I don't mean that, I'm asking you why is Carl in the hospital?"
"He's quarreled with Eric, he'll be fine," he said softly, then looked at Nicholas in confusion.
"Where do you think that mouse went?"
Nicholas laughed lightly, Thomas calling his son a mouse, as Carl did, while Thomas was embarrassed and scratched his head silently.
Anyway, I think he's looking for some way to get his revenge on Carl again.
Thomas sighed helplessly while Nicholas raised his shoulders, too.
"What do I do with this son!?"
"Don't punish him because he will go further."
Thomas was surprised and protested.
"And do I applaud him when I see him almost killing Carl! Are you crazy!?"
"Not that, I just make him feel like he's someone important to you."
Thomas shook his head disapprovingly, feeling that at this point Nicholas had failed in his decisions for the first time.
How could he do this for Eric's mistakes!? While Nicholas walked outside..
"Smith," he said softly, closing the door behind him.
Thomas was puzzled by his friend's request and looked at the papers in front of him..
His condition was not like his twins, he is not surrendering and peaceful like him..
There he was in the basement, raging, turning his head left and right in annoyance, and threatening Thomas Smith, tied up as Rex had before.
His eyes were shining red, his right wing was flapping hard, and the vault was in a bad state due to his strong current, which was more powerful than Rex's bar.
"
How can a mortal like him get me!
How could he, despite my full contract with Daniel, get me!
Isn't the four-way contract complete yet?! My clumsy twin how you haven't succeeded yet with a nicknamed Carl!
But now I am strong! Indeed, how can a weak mortal like him restrict my movement here!
Damn what is this guy! Is he even human!?
Is this the strange thing you used to feel about this human being, my clumsy brother!!
Hey contractor dad! Come and set me free now, you coward!!
It is as if in the human world there are no twins except the son of this contracted one!!
............
Thomas sighed as he heard Scott's screams from his wiretapping device.
He was turning his cards over, trying to ignore Scott, assured and sure that no one in the house would feel him, He's in the basement and Phoenix earlier, a little something broke out of the door and the handle was repaired in no time.
He knocked on the door, and Thomas heard him enter, but he did not enter.
He stood quietly and walked towards the door to open Larina, and as soon as he saw her, he patted her head as he contemplated his smile..
"Dad don't get mad at what I'm going to ask of you, okay?"
She pursed her lips as she looked at him worriedly.
"To ask what you will, consider me to have done it."
"I want to visit my brother Carl"
He was silent for a moment while she thought he refused, wanted to back off, but he beat her.
"You and Erin, go and tell him that his father is telling him to stop copying for a while."
.............
Carl was in his room alone, surprised to open the window and enter Phoenix flapping his wings and Eric in his arms left him to stand inside the room and look at Carl with half a smile..
Carl couldn't keep his memory from remembering all the hurt he received from this boy until the last thing he received and his body and it was not hidden from Eric, who widened his smile..
"How are your wounds, brother?" Even your tone of voice sounded colder and more murderous.
"Why don't you answer me!" Eric looked at Carl with sharp eyes.
What's with that tone in his voice! Is that really Eric!!? When did it become like this!
"I'm fine just calm down...! You're the one who doesn't look okay"
"And how will I be fine while you exist in this life!!" He said and then grabbed Carl by the collar.
Someone tried to enter but the door was locked, so they heard his voice from outside..
Carl is inspired by his younger brother's words to press the emergency button and his nurse comes and tries to open the door and it becomes a mess outside to open the door.
Carl half smiled at Eric while the other left him in annoyance and turned to Phoenix.
"Let's go"
They left as they entered and he opened the door so Harvey ran in and stood beside Carl, looked out the window and then looked at Carl in astonishment.
The latter smiled and closed the window.
"I came to check on you, my brothers went to their mission and my mission to visit you and check on you from time to time."
"Learn Harvey..."
Harvey looked up at his brother.
"I'm so glad you have a father like yours."
Harvey was surprised when Carl smiled at him.
"It's the past, right, brother? Just forget it. I told my mother that you've become a man, so the charlatan can't do what you used to do before." He spoke as he sat near the bed with his hands on the bed, lowered to his level and his head on it.
"You're right, Harvey..." he muttered and began to speak to himself... He didn't have to let the fear of the past control him, He will stand strong before Eric and everyone like him. He is no longer the child who can't defend himself under his stepmother's feet.
"I want a paper and a pen, Harvey."
Harvey was surprised by the request and got up from his place, while Irene entered after knocking on the door, behind him Irina.
"You wouldn't believe if I told you that my father ordered me to come visit you," Erin said with a wide smile, then came to his brother.
"I think things are starting to get better, don't you think?" He smiled at Carl again and then sat down next to him.
Yes, it gets better in one way, but it gets worse in the other.
Erin is surprised by Carl's statement while Harvey hands Erin a cup of coffee as a form of hospitality.
Carl and Irina exchanged looks.
"Nice to see you, sister."
