301 The Alpha’s Farewell Letter
At first, Lucien thought that the package was for Ronan. And then he saw his name as the recipient’s name. It was for Lucien Clearwater, written clearly on top of the box.
“What is this?” he asked with a frown.
Instead of answering Lucien’s question, Milroy turned bright red and stuttered.
“Umm, Luna, you need to... I mean, you must give it back to me as soon as you are done. I will submit the s-sample right away.”
The young man then averted his eyes and hung his head as low as possible.
“...”
Lucien did not understand what Milroy was saying at all. Since the package was addressed to him, he might as well open it and see what was inside.
He asked Milroy to wait in the living room while he took the package to Ronan’s study and opened it.
Inside the package was a rose-colored box. There were a few items inside. The first one was a smaller box with a large egg inside. The instruction manual that came with it read as followed:
.....
“Hello, Future Dad!”
“Please peel this egg and use it to store your sperm. As soon as you finish, seal the opening with the included cap and send it to us within 24 hours! For detailed instructions on how to use the egg, please check the next section!”
“...”
And then, there was another box next to it. The second box contained one plastic bottle and a few plastic bags.
“Please provide samples of your saliva, hair, and nail and put them in the respective containers!”
“...”
Lucien blinked at the two boxes. Just as he was about to pack them back into the package and shove it into Milroy’s hand with a scolding, he caught sight of a card and a folded letter inside the rose-colored box.
The card was half the size of a postcard. The front side contained his personal information. One glance at the handwriting sufficed to tell Lucien that it was Ronan’s.
At the back side was presumably a short message that Ronan left for Lucien, only that beneath the “Dear Lucien” the Alpha had written a lot of words only to cross them out one by one.
“...”
A tiny scribble in an empty space said, “Please see the letter instead”.
Lucien grabbed the folded letter and spread it on the desk.
The letter was written on a hotel notepad. The name of the hotel stood glaringly on the header, making it look like a message left by the hotel instead.
Lucien took a seat behind the desk and started reading Ronan’s message for him.
“Dear Lucien...
When you are reading this, I am most likely no longer among the living.
This letter is written in Hapsborough City on the last night before the trial.
I pray for a smooth process and a chance to get back to you, but IF I can’t make it, I need you to know that I love you until I breathe out my last.
I love you, Lulu. You are my first and you are my last love. There has never been and there will never be anyone else in my heart.
Please don’t despair upon my death. I have lived a wonderful life. Our time together was so short, but I am happy that you are in my life. You are the most beautiful and amazing soul in the whole wide world.
I will thank the Moon Goddess forever for allowing me to get to know you.”
“You must be wondering what this is all about.
Let me explain a few things. Do you remember the project that drove your father to ruin a few years back?
The project aimed to allow same-sex partners to conceive children by converting one partner’s egg to sperm and vice versa. The resulting embryos will be injected into a lab-grown uterus that carries the mother’s DNA and grow there until it is time for them to be born.”
“I have invested in this project for quite some time ever since I found out what it was. Occasionally I would dream that it will one day be a success, that you and I can somehow have our own children.
Well, to this date the technology has yet to mature. I have sent my sperm sample to the fertility center for safe keeping until the technology is ready.
As you are reading my letter now, I guess that the project finally concludes and the fertility center is now ready.”
“My beloved Lulu, will you please do me the honor and be the mother of my children?
Or you can be the father. Whichever, really. We don’t know which sperm will successfully be converted into egg cells, yours or mine.
Either way, if there is one thing I want to leave behind in this world, then it would be our children. I want them only if I can have them with you.
The sad thing is that although I worked so hard to make this happen, I won’t be able to raise them with you.
But still, please, please, give us a chance.
Please let the children be born.
They will be the last thing I can give you.
I hope that you are willing to do us this favor.
When the children grow up, please tell them that I love them with all my heart, just like I love you.
Even though I don’t have the chance to see them or hold them in my arms.
I know that they are going to be as beautiful and amazing as you are.
Farewell, my Lulu...
I love you, forever and always. From the moment I laid my eyes on you until I close my eyes for good.
Your mate, Ronan Silverback.”
Outside, in the living room, Milroy jolted in his seat when he heard the sound of something being smashed to the floor.
“L-Luna?” Ronan’s assistant rose to his feet and approached the study anxiously. He extended a trembling hand toward the doorknob, but he was too afraid to open it...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
