The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

"Master, please reconsider it. Let's wait for Tristan. Who knows he might recover soon? You don't have to sacrifice yourself just for him to survive," FaMo said, convincing his Master. Of course, he also wanted to save Tristan but he couldn't allow his Master to leave Zhen-Zhen's side again. They were just reunited.

"FaMo, you also knew his true condition. He is currently in a hopeless state right now. His physical body is getting weaker and weaker. Transferring our energy to him is not enough to prolong his life. His life force is slowly dissipating."

FaMo fell silent after hearing that. Yes, he knew it. He could feel it when he was transferring energy to Tristan. He was in a critical condition. They didn't mention it to Zhen-Zhen so that she would not worry too much.

"FaMo, this is the only way. Tristan was the person who took care of my daughter when I was not around. Zhen-Zhen already thought that I was gone. I know… she could handle it even if I disappear again. But I don't think she can bear losing Tristan."

FaMo clenched his fists. He was mad at the situation. This happened because of that wicked guardian warrior. He hated that she was winning in destroying Zhen-Zhen's family.

Zu Wan faced FaMo, placing his hand over his shoulder. "FaMo, you are Zhen-Zhen's protector… and her second father. With my absence, I believe you will fulfill your duty again. I'm leaving Zhen-Zhen in your care. And please, don't tell this to Zhen-Zhen. I don't want her to be put in another dilemma wherein she had to choose between Tristan and me."

"But Master–"

"No more but FaMo. Just listen to me. I'm doing this for my daughter's sake… for her happiness. Please, just support me." Zu Wan talked to FaMo with so much seriousness in his voice.

"Okay, Master. I understand," FaMo said, sighing in defeat.

"Make a preparation for it, FaMo. We will do it tomorrow. The earlier we do this, the more chances of success and survival for Tristan."

"Yes, Master," FaMo answered him in a low voice. He was sad and disheartened, knowing his master might disappear again to save Tristan. Lots of sacrifices had been made. When will they become so happy and complete?

Just thinking about it made FaMo's heart bleed for Zhen-Zhen and Zu Wan. Was there no other solution for this? Why did they have to sacrifice more lives just to save another?

"Just go and watch Zhen-Zhen. I will just talk to Titania, her Aunt." Zu Wan stood up with complicated emotions on his face. He had to say goodbye to Titania as well. Without him, Titania would be there to take good care of Zhen-Zhen. He was glad that she was here.

Titania was resting in one of the quarters in the Fiery Eagles Headquarters. She heard a knock outside the door. She opened it and was surprised to see Zu Wan.

He looked so stressed and disheartened. She knew he was so worried about Zhen-Zhen. She opened the door widely as she invited him in. Upon entering her room, Zu Wan saw Ella curling up on the bed.

Ella was already sound asleep on the bed. She had been crying after knowing what happened to Tristan and Liam. Then she finally drifted off to sleep. Her eyes were swollen from crying.

"Is it okay to talk here? She might wake up," Zu Wan asked Titania while looking at Ella.

"Don't worry. She got tired from crying. She will not wake up as long as we will not scream while talking," Titania said, trying to crack some jokes to lighten the mood. She knew that Zu Wan had a long stressful day today.

Zu Wan smiled faintly upon hearing that. Titania was glad to see him smile.

"How's Zhen-Zhen?" She asked Zu Wan.

"She's trying to be strong for Tristan and their twins. But I know she is having a hard time. She needs us… our support."

Titania took a deep sigh before nodding her head. Indeed, Zhen-Zhen needed them in this darkest moment of her life.

"I hope Tristan and Liam will survive this…" Titania said, praying for their safety.

"Yeah, they have to… for Zhen-Zhen."

After saying that, there was a moment of silence between the two. Several minutes had passed before one of them had spoken once again thus breaking the silence.

"Titania…"

"Yes, Zu Wan?"

"Can I ask you for a favor?"

Titania glanced at him, giving him a questioning gaze. "Sure, what is it?"

"Can you please take good care of my daughter on my behalf?"

"Of course, you don't have to ask me that. Zhen-Zhen is my niece. But why are you saying this? Are you going somewhere?" She asked him curiously.

Zu Wan's lips curled up into a small smile before nodding his head. "Yes, I'm going somewhere. I have to do it… to save Tristan."

Titania's eyes lit up when she heard that.

"You can save Tristan? Can you really do that? Then Zhen-Zhen will be happy to know that," Titania said with her elated voice.

She had no idea that Zu Wan was about to sacrifice himself. It was like he was going somewhere but he didn't know if he could still come back this time.

"Don't worry about that, Zu Wan. While you are not around, I will take care of Zhen-Zhen. Just do your best to save Tristan's life!" Titania even encouraged him.

Zu Wan could only smile and nod his head. "Yes, I will do my best. My son-in-law will not die. I will save him," he said meaningfully.

"Thank you for telling me this good news, Zu Wan…"

"Yes, please don't tell this to Zhen-Zhen. I want to surprise her."

"Okay. I will do that!" She promptly responded.

Zu Wan stood up, saying goodbye to Titania. She walked him out of her room. Zu Wan halted on his steps, turning to face her.

"Titania, I'm so happy to meet you and Ella. Please take good care of yourselves. I admire you for being a strong woman… and a single mother. You raised Ella so well."

Titania bit her lower lip, blushing a little. She didn't know why Zu Wan was praising her right now.

"Thank you, Zu Wan. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm so glad that I met you too."

Zu Wan nodded his head. But before he left, Zu Wan moved closer to Titania, wrapping his arms around her as he hugged her.

"Stay healthy… and Happy."

Titania: "..."
