Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"He is in a serious condition. It would be better that you do not look at him like this!" Andrew blocked the entrance of the physician room when Eli and Evan tried to go in.

His face was grim and his voice was solemn but their tensed face and tearful eyes only glared at Andrew as if he was their enemy.

"Let us go, Andrew. He is my brother and her husband. We had the right to see him." more tears came out of the eyes of Evan when she saw the tension building in.

Andrew shook his head again but he knew that he had lost the battle when he looked at the tears in the eyes of Evan and she turned to stare at him.

He sighed and took a step back.

"You too are being too stubborn, I am only thinking about Evangeline and Renee." he said with a sigh but they did not pay any more attention to him.

Evan ran towards Leo with Renee in her hands. Eli followed her slowly and looked from behind.

Leo was sleeping on the bed with bandages on his body. His face was burnt. The handsome face was nowhere to be seen. His skin had strong burnt marks with flesh out to be seen. The blood and flesh looked so raw that anyone could feel nauseated.

Tears started to well in their eyes again with Evan holding Renee so tightly in her arms that the little girl came out of her sleep.

She started crying too with loud shrills when the physician sighed.

"My lady, it would be better that you take the child out of the room. You need some rest too." he said with some hesitation when Evan finally looked away from leo.

She looked at the physician but shook her head.

"We are going to stay with him." It was a resolute choice. Even if they could not do much, even if Leo could not feel them, they still wanted to be with him.

They wanted to accompany him in his difficult time.

They were staring at each other and trying to convince others that they did not notice.. The tears of Renee were falling on the face of Leo.

And the marks of burn that were spread all over started to fade from the area where her tears felt.

His skin started to turn like a new baby skin. Without any blemish or pain but before it could treat him completely, Eli took Renee into her arms and tried to soothe her.

Renee leaned on her shoulders and closed her eyes again.

"Even if you want to stay here. At least, let me take her back. She is too young to bear all the stress." her eyes were pleading to Evan who shook her head again.

"She is the strong child of Leo and Me. how could she be so weak to not bear this much. She is going to stay here with me." Eli sighed, she knew that Evan was not going to listen.

"But…" before Andrew could come forward and meddle in, Eli shook her head and held his hands.

"Give her some alone time with her husband. It is her right!" the man could only sigh.

He wanted to refuse but then again no one was listening to him.

He gave one look to the physician who was also at loss of words and followed them out.

Only Evan, Renee and Leo stayed in the room when she looked back at him and caressed his face with pain and love in her eyes.

"I wish I could take all the pain from you. But I am sure that you are not that week. You are going to stand up again and teach all of them a good lesson." her voice had love and trust in them.

She was touching his face slowly to make sure not to affect his wounds when her eyes narrowed. There was a small mark on his face.. But there were clear faces in between.  As if it was healed completely.

"How did this happen?" She was sure there were burning marks there too just a few seconds ago.

She repeated the whole process in her heart when her heart trembled.

She looked at Leo and then at Renee and then at Leo again.

Though she was not sure and it sounded unrealistic. But she did not have any other reason.

She held Renee tightly again and made her cry.

When she started crying, she held her tightly above the face of Leo when the tears of Renee started to fall on his face again.

The moment her tears started to touch his face.. It creates a small strange sound and then the wound from there vanishes.. As if it was never there in the first place.

Though it pained her to make her daughter cry so much, the wounds started to heal like a miracle.. It was only a matter of minutes when his face was perfectly fine as if the wounds never existed there in the first place.

But Renee's face had turned white. As if she had lost most of her energy even when she was not crying for that long.

She brought her back in her arms and shot her.

Hearing her continuous cries, they tried to come back to the room but she had already locked it.

"Evan.. what are you doing there? Why is Renee crying so much?" Eli knocked the door with a worried voice when Evan trembled.

She was happy that her husband could be treated. If after a few hours of rest, she made Renee cry again, it might heal another wound of Leo too but at the same time she was afraid of how she was going to explain it.

Renne was just a baby. If anyone comes to know that she has healing powers, many would try to covet them and her life would be in danger.

No! No one could know about it!!
