Chapter 76:
While I am deep in thought, the two women are having their own conversations that will attract people to listen if they listen to it.
The more deep their talking was, the more shy Aunt Helen gets, as she is almost already on her mid thirties and still single, her sister, Krista's mother got a daughter early so Aunt Helen look like older sister of Krista instead of much older Aunt.
Her life have been easy since her sister and brother in law spoiled her with Krista when they were little. Aunt Helen already knows that there is different from her sister and niece as her sister is a scientist and she has friend who frequently visited their home to talk about their works.
She once heard them talking that Krista's genes is the chosen main host of their virus. The virus is harmful to most people but Krista's genes accepted like her genetic mutation is compatible.
More years past by and she confronted her sister once for what she heard. She got the answer that Krista's genes have mutate slowly but surely but the current technology and study of the virus is not yet finish so she does not have complete form and it's not harmful for Krista instead it is the revolutionary genetic engineering so her sister asked to keep it a secret even to Krista.
Her sister died years later and Krista was changing day by day as if her physical and genetic is having less and less defects and she never once suffer from any sickness so she believes that what her sister said might be true.
She once asked her niece if she have interest being an actress or model but it seems her parents have huge influence to her as she also wants to study medicine and become a scientist, a perfect version of beauty and brains.
Back to the present situation, the teasing of Lyla continues as she said " You both Aunt and Niece have very good genes, beautiful and sexy and even your sister is a scientist."
Aunt Helen laugh mirthlessly thinking of the past when her parents heard their daughters chose different profession " Well, our parents are even shocked that I chose to become a chef as they both are doctors and sister and brother in law chose virologist and surgeon, respectively while I chose to become a chef."
Lyla " Well being a chef is also a little bit of scientist right? Experimenting in various ingredients from all over the world and trying to make a dish that is relevant to health and energy. Being chef is more practical scientist."
Lyla gave her view on scientist unpopular opinion and Aunt Helen looked at her with wide eyes as she didn't expect Lyla's answer but her word are not wrong, being a chef is a more practical scientist that also experiment and finding new things, that is harmful and healthy to human body or in scientific term biological life.
Aunt Helen smiled at Lyla appreciation filled her eyes " Well, I'm thankful my parents are open minded and supportive to my profession, I even cook for them every time I visited them as well as my sister and brother in law."
" It just sad that they left us years ago, my parents died when they chose to participate in war, they are both doctors in military so when they left, my sister and I live together every other times."
Aunt Helen drank her wine and decided to asked about Lyla about hers " how about you, your past story, I wanna hear it as well as your story with that guy Cain?"
Lyla seems ready as she expect that this conversation will shift from Aunt Helen to her so as she thought for a few moments, she opened her lips and told starting from her teenage years " I have a complete family but changes when suddenly got divorced when my mother found out my father got a second family'"
She drank wine slowly while looking at the stars " my father admitted that nothing will change and he can provide both family love and financial support, my father remain true to his words, while he has second family he doesn't give less time to my mother and I but my mother asks for time off and divorced my father."
" I think her pride cannot take that she loved a man with all her heart but still got other woman pregnant, years goes by, father still visited my mother and they got along pretty well but did not discuss marrying again as they enjoy being what they are now than being married."
" As I am older, I moved to other place to work and nothing exciting happens just plain old days working and going home, dating some men but they all have the same purpose of getting into my pants so I dumped them but I think giving those perverts hopes and crushing them at the end gave me some entertainment." Lyla laughed remembering those days when her days are bland.
Aunt Helen " I've been meaning to ask, you're always going somewhere but I don't know what your job or profession is..?"
Lyla eyed her and look at me, I felt her gaze that seems to want to poke me so I opened my eyes " Aunt Helen wants to know our job, is it alright to tell her?"
I shrugged and said " Well, there is no need to hide it from her since she is a family."
Lyla's eyes turned to flushing Aunt Helen as she is a little bit drunk now," Okay, since Cain already said you're a family, let me say, we are currently working with Captain America and the other Avengers roaming the world and arresting criminals and stopping illegal arms and sending them to prison for their crimes."
Aunt Helen eyed Lyla suspiciously not 100% believing " Really? But the some news said you are all criminals invading and trespassing other country and causing chaos."
