Chapter 143 The Birthmark



"Have we met before? Do I know you?" Marceline asked Dylan, puzzled as to why she felt familiar with him.

Dylan, who heard Marceline\'s question, fell silent for a moment. It was hard to explain since this was the first time they met.

But he felt a strong connection with her as soon as he saw her. Dylan\'s instinct was telling him that Marceline was his missing sister, Stella.

Aside from that, there was one way to find out– her Birthmark. Both of them had the same birthmark– a crescent moon, his mark was on his right chest while his sister had it on the back of her neck.

Instead of answering her, Dylan asked her politely. "Miss… May I see your neck?"

Marceline: "..."

\'My neck? He is weird. He is the only guy who asked me to see my neck on our first meeting. Is he a vampire too?\' Marceline pondered to herself.

Though Dylan\'s request was a little bit strange, Marceline didn\'t feel annoyed nor irritated at him. Instead, she found him very amusing.

On the other hand, Kira and Lyca were now shooting daggers at Dylan. His request was very absurd but the most absurd thing was that Marceline was looking at him with amazement.

\'Does she like him?\' Kira asked himself with a dark expression on his face. At that certain moment, he felt the urge to remind Marceline of their deal. He only asked for her blood and loyalty!

​ What mattered to him the most was Marceline\'s loyalty! He didn\'t want her to get close to Dylan. He was afraid that history would repeat. What if Marceline would betray him because of Dylan? He would never allow that to happen.

Kira immediately pulled Marceline, stepping in their middle as he hid Marceline at his back. He was shielding her from Dylan\'s view.

"Are you a pervert? Why are you asking her to see her neck?" Kira asked Dylan with his stern cold voice.

Dylan could only smile sheepishly while gazing at Kira with sparkling eyes. If the woman before him was his sister, then Kira would be his future brother-in-law as the two were in a relationship.

"Actually, I\'m asking to see her nape. I want to confirm if she\'s the person I am looking for."

For some unknown reason, Kira felt disturbed when he heard Dylan\'s statement.

\'Someone he is looking for? Is he referring to his sister?\' Kira\'s heart suddenly pounded rapidly as he became anxious.

As far as he could remember, Dylan went to the human world to find his sister. He kept calling his sister in his subconscious. This was what he found after reading Dylan\'s mind after saving him from Cedric and his men.

\'If Marceline is Dylan\'s sister, then does it mean she is Dominique\'s daughter as well?\' Kira\'s eyes dimmed at that thought.

But he disregarded that idea right away as Marceline was a member of the Zhou Family, the gatekeeper of the Northern Gate Portal. There was no way she would be Dylan\'s sister and Dominique\'s daughter.

"May I see it, Miss…" Dylan\'s voice was heard as he asked Marceline\'s approval once again.

This time Lyca approached Dylan, nudging his shoulder while whispering something. "What is this all about, Dylan?"

"I\'ll explain everything later," he whispered back to her.

The two were still murmuring with each other when Marceline spoke up.

"Marceline… just call me Marceline."

Kira and Lyca were surprised once again as Marceline sounded so friendly towards Dylan. This was something she didn\'t usually do when meeting someone for the first time.

Kira even recalled how they fought during their first encounter. He suddenly felt annoyed since Marceline was treating Dylan differently. Now, aside from Xyon also known as Mr. X, Dylan added to his list whom he had to watch out for when it came to Marceline\'s attention.

Kira continued staring at Dylan with his bloodshot eyes but Dylan was so focused on Marceline.

"I\'m Dylan." He also introduced himself to her. He was smiling broadly. He would be the happiest man if ever he confirmed that Marceline was his missing twin sister.

"Marceline, can you please… let me see the back of your neck?" Dylan was looking at her with his pleading eyes. His heart was already jumping with excitement. He couldn\'t wait to see Marceline\'s birthmark.

Aside from Dylan, Lyca and Kira were both waiting for Marceline\'s response. They wondered if she would do as Dylan requested.

After a while, Marceline nodded her head with a gentle smile on her face, giving her approval. She turned around so that her back would be facing Dylan.

Dylan gulped hard with so much anticipation. His eyes were fixed on her back. He saw her holding her hair as she raised it up to expose her nape to Dylan.

Dylan\'s expression changed the moment he saw the back of her neck. The smile and excitement suddenly disappeared as he didn\'t see the birthmark he was looking for.

\'No way. How could this be? I thought she\'s my sister but… she has no birthmark on the back of her neck.\' Dylan was utterly disappointed. He thought he finally found his missing twin sister. But it turned out, she didn\'t have the birthmark… the only thing that could confirm whether Marceline was his twin sister or not.

He had to admit that he felt disheartened because he didn\'t see the birthmark of his twin sister.

Lyca and Kira also noticed the changes in Dylan\'s expression. His sparkling eyes became dull and his smile dissipated into thin air.

\'What happened? What\'s wrong with him? Did he just mistake Marceline for someone else?\' Lyca mused to herself.

On the other hand, Kira smiled inwardly as he felt relieved seeing Dylan\'s disappointment. This only meant Marceline was not the one he was looking for.

\'She is not his sister! She is not Dominique\'s daughter! I got worried for nothing but I\'m glad that she has no connection with the Silvano Family.\' Kira rejoiced.

With the awkward silence, Marceline turned around to look at Dylan. "Dylan… How is it? Did you find something?"

Dylan smiled at Marceline, hiding his disappointment from her. Then he shook his head.

"I\'m sorry. I think I mistook you for someone else."

Dylan apologized for his actions. Hugging Marceline in front of Kira and Lyca was inappropriate since he didn\'t confirm her identity. Now he felt so awkward for what he had done.

"It\'s fine. You did nothing wrong." Marceline let out a soft giggle, patting Dylan\'s shoulder. She had a soft spot for him but she didn\'t know why. She just felt it.

Meanwhile, Kira squinted his eyes on her. \'Why are you acting so close to him?! I don\'t like it.\' He was already sulking on the side.

"Thank you, Marceline, for your understanding. Again, I want to apologize for my behavior a while ago. I shouldn\'t have hugged you. Please don\'t get mad at me. But I\'m truly glad to meet you."

"Me too," she simply responded.

"Marceline, cheer up and be strong. Your grandfather will survive this." Dylan gave her a reassuring smile as he comforted Marceline.

"Thanks, Dylan. I know that. My grandpa will get better. He will wake up and recover fast."

Lyca and Kira felt like they were out of place when Dylan and Marceline started talking to each other as if they already had forgotten about their presence.

"Cough! Cough!" Kira cleared his throat, letting them know that he and Lyca were still there, watching the two of them.

"Oh, by the way, do you know each other?" Marceline moved her gaze from Dylan to Lyca. And her eyes finally stopped at Kira.

Kira just shrugged his shoulders, refusing to answer her directly. He was still upset because Marceline was acting friendly and so close to Dylan.

\'Dylan is the son of my mortal enemy! I have to stop him from getting closer to Marceline.\' Kira made a mental note.

"Dylan is my friend!" Lyca was the one who answered Marceline\'s question.

Dylan crumpled his face as his mate just called him \'friend\'. He would prefer if Lyca would call him boyfriend!

"Yes, I know them both. Kira is my savior. I consider him as my brother while the beautiful lady beside me is my girl."

Lyca elbowed him right away when she heard his last remarks. "Your girl, your foot! In your dreams! We are just friends–"

"For now." Dylan cut her off immediately, his eyes gleaming with humor.

Lyca just gave him a warning look, asking him to shut his mouth and behave. When Lyca glanced at Marceline, she was already raising her eyebrow while eyeing Lyca suspiciously.

"You are no longer needed here. Go home now!" Kira suddenly spoke up, sending Dylan away. He could no longer control his annoyance. He wanted Dylan to disappear from his sight as soon as possible.

"Hey, don\'t be so rude!" Marceline scolded Kira which made Kira\'s mood worsen further.

\'Damn! She just met him today but she\'s already defending him against me.\' Kira clenched his fists.

"Okay. Then I am the one who should leave." After saying that, Kira walked away without looking back at them.

\'Uh oh! Is he mad at me but why?\' Dylan pondered to himself, watching Kira\'s back until he vanished from his sight.

"Just don\'t mind him. I will talk to him later. Lyca, you should go home too. I am just fine here. You can come back tomorrow."

"Alright, Celeste. Just call me if you need something, okay?" Lyca hugged her as she said goodbye to her.

Dylan was reluctant to leave Marceline alone but he had to accompany Lyca and drove her back to her place.

As they were leaving the hospital, Dylan kept thinking about Marceline.

\'I can\'t understand why I feel like she\'s my sister. But why doesn\'t she have a birthmark? Where are you, Stella?\'
