Madness
Chapter 56's

"Master Johan wants to go to Lofoten? One of the islands in Norway?"

"Do you know that place?" Felix nodded at Nate.

The three men were now sitting in the living room, while Lin was in the bedroom together with his father.

Felix leaned his body against the sofa behind him. He actually really wants to suck a cigar, but that is impossible considering he is not in his own office.

"I know, because I used to take Master Laurent there. He also said he wanted to die there when his age was up."

The blonde-haired man fell silent while pondering. His gaze was a little dreamy.

"That island is a really beautiful place to die." He finally said.

The man's head turned to look at Nate who was sitting beside him.

"When are you planning on going there?"

Nate shook his head slowly. "We don't know yet. But certainly soon. It seems like Master Johan's time is not long anymore."

Hearing that, Felix nodded his head.

"You're right. It's not long."

"Actually, how much longer is the time?"

This time Marcus asked. The man's hoarse voice sounded extremely dry.

Felix turned his gaze to Marcus who was seen sitting opposite him.

"If from my calculations and his analogue speed, it seems that his age will not be more than 2 weeks."

Marcus' eyes bulged at hearing it. "So fast?"

The man opposite him nodded. His view looks grim.

"Fast that. The longer, the more brief the anal gap gets. Today, he has relapsed twice. Luckily he was already conscious when you guys arrived this morning."

This information made the three of them silent. Each one is busy with his own thoughts.

At that moment, the sound of the bedroom door opening. From inside, Lin was seen coming out of the room and was closing the door slowly.

When his wife turned around, Nate was able to see both of Lin's eyes that looked flushed red.

The woman placed both her hands in front of her stomach. His body trembled a little.

"Dear." Both of Nate's hands opened, asking his wife to come to him.

Slowly, Lin stepped up to her husband and sat down beside him. The woman lowered her head around her husband's neck, trying to hide her tears.

Both of Nate's hands hugged his wife tightly. He could feel the sadness of his wife, for they were already bound at this time.

Not long after, the man's brows furrowed slightly as he vaguely sensed another feeling from the woman. But right now, he did not want to ask further.

This sight made Felix sigh. He got up from his seat and walked over to the big window in the room. Not long after, the man turned around and faced the three people who were in front of him.

"I know that I'm just an outsider here. But, given that I am the owner of this place as well as the person who has been taking care of Master Johan for the entire time he has been here, then I guess I have the right to speak."

Nate slightly turned to the bright blue-eyed man. Head nodded.

"Please Felix. You have the right to express your opinion here. This is your place."

Gaining the chance, Felix took a deep breath before speaking.

"I think you should go to Norway in the next 2 days. We don't know how the impact of the long journey will be for Master Johan. But I think the sooner this is done the better, before it gets worse."

"To be honest, I totally agree with you Felix. Faster, better. What do you think, Lin?"

Nate's views shifted to his wife. The man rubbed his wife's back to give the woman strength.

The question from her husband made Lin slightly move away from her husband's body. He was already seen not crying, although his face was still red and his eyes were swollen.

"I agree with you both. I'd better get to Norway before it's too late."

Lin's voice sounded slow, but steady.

A faint smile rose from Nate's lips upon seeing that his wife was steadfast in the face of this situation. He was proud of that woman.

"good. Let Marcus take care of your cut to Robertus-"

Lin immediately shook her head when she heard her husband's words. "No."

Her husband's eyes blinked quickly. The man did not expect that his wife would refute his words.

"I'm not going with you to Norway."

Nate's forehead frowned deeply. Both of his hands gently squeezed his wife's shoulders.

"What do you mean you're not coming, Lin? Of course you should come. He's your father."

Head Lin shook his head slowly. "Father herself doesn't want me to come, Nate."

"But, why?"

"Dad just said that he didn't want me to see him dying and going to dust. He wanted me to remember his beautiful memories for the last time."

The woman seemed to be slightly avoiding her husband's gaze, making Nate a little suspicious. This time, the man was absolutely sure there was something hidden by his wife but had no idea what.

He was about to scatter his wife when he saw Lin's tears coming down. His heart throbbed pain as it re-feeled the woman's profound sadness.

"Are you sure, baby?"

His wife simply nodded and hugged her husband's body tightly.

Nate sighed softly. "Well if you're sure. I'm not gonna force you."

The man looked at his assistant who had been silent all along.

"Marc. What say?"

The cold man just nodded stiffly. His eyes looked a little pushy but his gaze returned to how it had been in an instant.

"I'll take care of everything immediately, sir. We'll be able to leave for Norway in the next 2 days."

Nate nodded. "Thank you, Marc."

He looked back at Felix who was still standing.

"I thank you so much for your help all along, Felix. It seems, I do owe you a lot lately."

Hearing that, Felix smiled.

"Specifically for Master Johan, I will strive to help you because he is also a person whom I have respected all along. As for anything else, I'll charge him at the right time, Nathanael."

The words made Nate laugh a little, revealing his neat teeth.

"I've guessed that you'll collect it someday."

"Of course, Nate. I will always collect payment for the services I have provided. Well then, it's best that from now on I've prepared Master Johan's needs for this trip."

The man started to step towards the door and turned to his guest.

"Well, you two go with me. There are a few things I want to talk to you two about. You okay we stay here, Miss Alina?"

Head Lin shook his head, answering a question from Felix.

"I'm fine Mr. Felix. I'll wait for you in dad's room later."

The three men in front of him nodded, and Nate slowly let go of his embrace after kissing his wife's forehead.

"I'll stay first. If there's anything, you just call me."

Reflexes, Lin kissed her husband's lips quickly, making the man a little surprised.

"I'll be fine. You guys go."

Lin's face looked smiling. The strange feeling was again felt by Nate, but the man finally decided he would ask his wife later when they were just the two of them.

"OKAY. We go first."

After that, Lin was left alone in the living room.

The woman was still in her original sitting position. But this time, he was seen holding his stomach.

Lin sighed, trying to organize her heart so that her husband would not be suspicious. But he is also not sure, until when this can be hidden.

The two hands that were on his lap were clasping each other tightly. His gaze led to the tightly closed bedroom door.

He remembered his father's words and finally decided that he would talk about the matter when everything was in order. Lin was unwilling to burden the thoughts of her husband who was already quite a lot at the moment.
