New Life

Bringing Him Home

A month has passed. Maxilian looked very messy. No news was obtained. The confusion that he experienced made him unable to maximize in using his brain intelligence. His brain was completely unable to think clearly because of the various kinds of negative thoughts that came through. The pain began to creep up on his chest.

"No, I can't possibly fail to find them. I'm not giving up. I gotta...  Julia can't stay away from me." she said unconsciously.

But then all of Hanna's words rang. And all the confidence he had was broken accompanied by great fear. He was worried because it had been a month, he did not get results. Now everything Hanna said was a frightening specter. I think he's almost crazy.

The null and void marriage and the news of Maxilian's running had been widespread. "What if something happens to them? What if they never come back? What if..."

Breath restrained. Tight chest. But the sound of someone's footsteps resuscitated him. The door opened and he saw Mery behind it.

"Grandmother." said Maxilian cirih,

Maxilian's steps widened and with one move, he bent his legs, prostrated under Mery's feet and hugged Mery's feet firmly. Making Mery surprised to see the chaotic face of his grandson.

"Are you okay?" ask Mery slowly. "Didn't you sleep all day?"

Maxilian shook his head and still hugged his grandmother's feet. "Whenever I sleep, I always have nightmares. How can I be calm without him? How can I breathe without him? Grandma, I'm almost crazy."

Mery sat down and hugged her favorite granddaughter firmly. He did not expect that a Maxilian was so devastated his life. "Have you not got the results?"

Maxilian's head shook weakly. "I've sent all my men all over the country. But I didn't get any news from them. Grandma, what if something happens to my baby? How can I live without them? Grannies..."

Mery was stunned as he felt Maxilian's back tremble slowly. "You crying?" tanyanya surprised.

Maxilian did not answer. Only a soft whisper could be heard in Mery's ears. Makes the corner of Mery's heart touched. His favorite grandson cried only because of a woman. Just because he couldn't find his wife.

"Grandma, please, help me find them. Help me with all the connections Grandma has. I. I feel like I could die at any moment if I didn't see it."

And that made Mery cry. This was the first time Maxilian had come and asked him for something. This was the first time her granddaughter had calmed down in tears asking for her help. This was the first time his grandson had complained to him. Mery was moved to tears but also a little disappointed,

"Bad boy." said Mery, hitting Maxilian on the back. "You never asked me for anything even if you had a hard time living with your mother. Even though you almost died from being beaten by your mother every day. But now you're crying in front of me just because of a woman? I think you're really crazy."

"Grandmother, I can't lose my beloved woman a second time. My world, my world doesn't seem to be spinning anymore. The air I breathe does not make me more alive, but makes me sicker. I'm really gonna die if I..."

"Stop it." cut Mery between her cries. "You stupid kid. You've loved her that much, but why not realize it? It's called my grandson's love... You've loved Julia all your body's soul."

Maxilian did not reply, but thought of everything his grandmother had said.

"You feel devastated whenever you don't see it. You feel like you can destroy the whole world when you see him hurt. You're trying to protect her from any danger you feel could hurt her. And you feel the world is so beautiful with just one smile, just one touch. Isn't that how you feel?"

Maxilian was stunned but in the end he nodded his head. Right, everything her grandmother said was the truth. He feels his world is shattered when he imagines Julia getting hurt.

"Basic stupid! Bad boy! You don't have to say all that."

The two hugged each other and cried. Lucas who saw it all just smiled faintly. He passed by and again sat in the courtyard while sipping on the warm tea with his faint smile.

At least now he knows that his grandson still has a heart. His granddaughter is no longer an undead who has no heart. His mind is very satisfied.

I don't know how long Mery and Maxilian hugged each other to calm down. But now Mery still sees the desperate face of his grandson sitting languidly on the bed. His outstretched hand rubbed Maxilian's cheeks gently.

"You don't have to give up anymore. Go meet them. Meet the woman you love."

"I can't find their whereabouts. I've been trying really hard. Grandma, did something happen to them?"

Mery shook his head. "Lian, listen. Like a pigeon. If you get too strong to hold him, he's dead. But if you loosen it too much, he'll leave. But the thing you're doing right now is locking her up, and it's wrong."

"I just don't want him to get in any danger.. I can't imagine my life if something happens to her. You know, I gave him a lot of wounds."

"And your passionate love has also hurt him. You hurt Julia. Trust him, let him do many things he loves, pamper him with affection and tenderness, and be the wings to help him fly, then his heart will be in your grasp. Because love doesn't force, it gives."

"If I do, will he leave again?"

Mery shook his head weakly and looked at his granddaughter with gentleness. "No. He'll never leave you. Because he knows what you're doing is for him. When he makes you his stepping stone in reaching for something, he will take your hand and show the world that you are the only man he has loved in his entire life. you just need to show her that you're the one who deserves to be her companion."

"grandmother.."

"Go, take them home. They're in china."

Maxilian's eyes widened as Mery said a reality.

"Take them home and treat them well. Then he will continue to accompany you to old age."

Maxilian's face looked relieved but turned lethargic. "No grandma, my men have been looking for him there but have found nothing. Julia wasn't there."

"Then you alone should come see him. He used the Lunox family pin to access information about the Zhao family and hired some bodyguards. Go and meet him, because Lusi and Aaron are there too. Don't let him get hurt again."

"Grandmother, how did you know that in.."

"Already, don't talk much. Go and protect them. Use the family's private plane to get you there quick."

Maxilian immediately got up, running to take care of everything. Soon he will bring his wife's son home. And will keep him by his side even though he should continue to be a stepping stone.
