[Ding! Congratulations host for successfully raiding Liza (Current : 140 Unhealthy Obsession)...
The rewards were being distributed...
Congratulations to the host for getting the "Holy Blessing" Skill...
Holy Blessing : This skill releases divine light from the possessor's hands to heal any being and put them in the peak condition.
Condition :
Only can be used on living beings
Peak Condition is only for the physical body
Once used on any being, It can't be used again on the same being in next 7 days.
Can only be used 3 times a day, Each time consuming 250 mana.]
'Wait peak condition?'
Alex now gets used to OP things coming out of the system and seeing them on the heroine's but these words stopped him in his tracks, and made him ask question in surprise.
[Ding! Yes, host, It's peak conditions.]
The system answered, making Alex fall into deep thoughts.
The peak condition is different from the prime condition. The prime condition means an initial condition of before without any injury or other hindrance.
But the peak condition means the limit of the human body, which means if it is used in the human then the person will touch the limit of the human body, Which is around 300 peak stats.
This means he could make an army of superhuman beings to do his bidding, Although they will not be able to pose much threat to the protagonist, They are still able to weed out the nuisance of other people from the protagonist's camp.
'Thankfully I didn't put "Super Secretary" Halo on Grace.'
Alex looked at "Super Secretary" Halo in the system inventory. He didn't forget that this halo also enhances all the capabilities of the possessor including physical ones without having any limit.
Now with this new skill, He can first use this Holy Blessing before putting this halo on Grace, His secretary candidate.
'It's quite a coincidence, right?'
Alex couldn't help but to think about it. He is not the protagonist, So a situation like this is a very weird thing for him. He as a villain should not be this lucky.
[Ding! The host, Villain Halo also grants the villain his own type of luck, Villain should have a strong subordinate, and hence situations turn in favor of the host to have a strong subordinate.]
'So my luck also works like the protagonist, it's just focused on the things related to Villain?'
Alex asked for confirmation. He at first thought his halo only protect him from the protagonist's luck. That's all its power but now it seems things are different than he imagined.
[Ding! Yes!! You can say the Protagonist's Halo of luck tries to give them the best opportunities for quick self-enhancement and Meanwhile Villain's Halo of luck tries to give them the best opportunities to improve their own foundation.]
The system explains how the Villain Halo works.
Alex's luck is not there for show, It still affects the plot but in different ways then protagonist's luck.
The reason is that the protagonist starts with nothing and needs a quick strength boost, While Villain had everything they needed, So they should solidify their foundation first before moving further.
Mostly the villain's main foundation is his family, subordinates, and talents. Currently, Alex didn't need a boost in family or in talent but he was still lacking in the subordinates.
That's why his Villain Halo makes a situation like this, Maybe even Liza's appearance here and his choice for adding points in the charm are influenced by this halo.
'Now where should I go?'
After confirmation, Alex fell into a dilemma. For the first time since coming into this world, he didn't know where to go next now.
Gloria, The mother of Grace is still in the operation theater. Which will need at least 2 more hours to be done.
He also can't go to Madam Miller as once he goes there, He can never come out in just 2 hours. Lust fairy body also has a very strong sexual stamina, After all it gets that name for a reason.
'Well, First add this halo on her.'
So he decides to do the things on hand, While he has this rare luxury of free time.
He reached the waiting room and entered, Just to see a peacefully sleeping Grace, Who still had a dried trail of tears on her beautiful face making her look very pitiful.
'Holy Blessing.'
Alex stood in front of her and muttered as he raised both of his hands toward her.
*Shine*
As his voice fell, Golden light came out of his hands and showered on the whole body of Grace. Sweeping into her body through her soft milky white skin leaving behind the glistering whiten jade like smooth skin, Then it runs throughout her body, and then entered in her bones strengthening every place it went but it didn't stop there, Golden string of light also entered in each of her cells and erased all the impurities in them, Even it strengthened a gens to a higher level, Elemating all the dormant or active bad mutation it carried with from generations.
[Ding! Holy Blessing is successfully used on Grace, Her body now is at the peak of a mortal human woman.
(Note: 50% chances are increased for her to awaken a superpower.)]
'This skill is very powerful.'
Alex looked at Grace, Who right now looked on par with Alia in charm. This light strengthens every aspect of her body, Including charm as that too part of the body.
'Put "Super Secretary" Halo on her.'
After looking at her changes, He commanded.
[Ding! "Super Secretary" Halo is put on Grace, All all-around ability is enhanced.]
Thisbtine nothing big happened, Just a very quickly ray of light escaped from his body and entered in hers.
'Show me her status panel.'
Doing both strengthening and enhancing in a row, He wanted to see, How much she improved.

'Not bad, Enhancement increased her stats by 150 more than a normal human limit of 300.'
Alex looked at Grace's improved stats, and nodded in satisfaction. Now he had a loyal and beautiful supernatural secretary, Who can do anything as long as that thing is possible to do.
'Is she really the business queen?'
Alex looked at a sleeping Grace, rubbed his large hand on her head, rubbing her dark silky hair and thought about it in confusion. There was no cold distance aura on her body like Alia nor did the superior aura unconsciously leaking from her body.
She was as threatening as a little white rabbit, No one can look at her and say she will be a business queen, Who's name is enough to make her competitors piss themselves in fear, In a later plot.
*Ding*
Suddenly notification of the phone pulled him out of his thoughts.
Alex pulled his phone from his pocket and checked.
Alia's Bodyguard: Where are you?
These were messages from Alia's bodyguard, Natasha. Old Alex didn't care enough to know the name of Alia's bodyguard.
That's why he saved her name as her job title. The only reason he even saved her number was because most of the time Alia's phone was busy, So contact Alia through her, He needed Natasha's number.
But now obviously, It was not Natasha who was messaging him, It had to be Alia. After all her number was still blocked on his phone.
Alex just looked at it and then directly put her on the blacklist. It was not time yet, He still had to marinate her before he could make a move.
"Well, it's boring sitting here. Let's go and see what that guy is doing."
Alex got bored quite quickly, So he decided to go and see what his dear lovely protagonist was doing.
...
"I don't understand why young people like now this stupid. Boy, why did you try to swallow a whole goddamn shoe?"
A very beautiful female doctor checked the condition of Nathen and was complaining to him, Who was sitting on the patient's bed.
She saw lots of cases like this, Only a few were cases because of sexual accidents, Most of the cases were caused because people were doing some dumb trend.
After making sure he didn't have any difficulty breathing, She didn't dare to touch his jaw anymore.
She still needs to wait for the X-ray reports before she even thinks of moving the shoe, Because Nathan's jaw was open to the limit. If she was not careful, It might break into two as this action was putting too much pressure on the fragile single weak point on his jaw.
"I-IT nO-nOt GoI-gOiNg *Slurp* Br-BrEaK."
Nathan is also a little medical genius, He knows his jaw will not break even if they now try to pull it out. So he was trying hard to tell the female doctor in front of him that she can remove the shoe.
But because of open mouth it became very hard for him to speak. Every time he tried saliva dripping from his mouth, He was making a futile attempt to not let it fall.
If not for the wrong angle and natural fear of the body, He has long since taken this shoe out of his mouth. He will not sit here trying to convince others for help.
"Stop trying to speak, young man, I can't understand anything you are saying. Just wait a little longer, When reports come, I will quickly remove the shoe. Until then tell me if you can't bear the pain, and I will prescribe you some painkillers."
Seeing Nathan troubled to speak, She stopped him from speaking any further. At this moment, Nathan was holding a bowl that was collecting his leaking saliva because of his open mouth. So it did not get all things dirty.
"N-No *Slurp* YoU CaN pUlLoUt."
Nathan didn't have the patience to wait for the reports, He felt very humiliated. Everyone was looking at him not because of his looks but because of the big black shoe in his mouth. He was like a clown in their eyes.
'I will kill that bastard but before that, I will fuck his girlfriend, mother, and sister. Everyone he cares about is in front of him. Make him face the despair, Only then will I give him the sweet release of death.'
Nathan gritted his teeth, He now hated Alex to death. A flame of revenge like a hellfire burning in his heart.
He knows how easy it is to get a woman on the bed. Then he was confident enough to blow their brains out and then with his main games wrap those women around his fingers.
That way he can first physiologically make Alex suffer worse than death, When Alex finds that his loved one betrayed him. He wanted to see that look of despair on his face before he would end the worthless life of that man.
*Shivers*
A beautiful doctor who was standing front of him checking Nathan's condition shivers in the cold. She felt the very deadly aura released from a man in front of her but quickly that aura vanished, Making her confused whether it was her illusion or not.
"A very good Idea, I should try it."
Alex was looking at Nathen from the far edge of the ward, Not appearing in his field of vision but as long as the person was in his sight, His thoughts reader skill can let him hear that person's thoughts.
So he heard everything Nathan was saying about him, But Alex's face didn't change much after hearing Nathan's thoughts. There was even a gentle smile on his face.
But his twin star-like eyes turned icy-cold like a glacier, With infinite killing intent contained in them. If Natasha was present here and looked at Alex this moment, She would be scared shitlessly, Because this is a look Alia used to have before she goes on a bloodthirsty rampage.
"Good news, There is no problem with the jaw bone. We can now start to remove the shoe. Hold tight. If it hurts a lot, Say it, We have given you numbing agent, If it's hurt then it still needs time to kick in."
A beautiful female doctor holding an X-ray report and talking to Nathan.
She looked at his reports and it turns out, His bone is actually quite strong, stronger than an average man and even woman. This surprised her but this was also a green light to take the show out of his mouth as there is no threat of breaking a bone.
So she had started a process. Now they just have to wait for local anesthesia to start its work before she can start.
"OkAy*Slurp*"
Nathan couldn't wait to remove this disgusting thing from his mouth, He had to taste all the things on the sole of this shoe. This made him feel like dying. He felt very nauseating but he still bare it.
He hated every second of it. There was even a time he wanted to yank this shoe out of his mouth, But he resisted the urge.
With his angle, It's very easy for him to break a bone, He can't risk breaking a bone and hurting the symmetry of his handsome face.
So he still bears the disgusting feeling in his heart, He is counting every part of this humiliation and when time comes He will make that man pay every insult and humiliation of his with interest.
'Alex Winchester.'
He tried to grit his teeth in hatred but only realized that he was unable to do so. A huge black shoe was blocking all his actions.
'Protagonist is really something, Maybe he does have some weird fetish.'
Alex, who was standing far away in the corner of the emergency ward, Looked at Nathan's self-control. It's really not easy for a normal person to bear that disgusting feeling but he is able to do it.
But what makes Alex shocked is the fact that, There was a bowl in hands of Nathan but other than letting his saliva fall in it, He still tried to slurp that dirty spite of his.
'His luck is also good, He gets her as a doctor.'
Alex then looked at the attending doctor of Nathan in quite a surprise, He didn't think that she would be there at this moment according to the plot.
He knows her very well, Not normally but from the novel plot in his mind.
'Let's go and meet her.'
He looked at her and decided to meet her now to avoid sleepless nights or to say troubled thoughts later on. Good sleepless nights are quite welcoming.
"Hello, doctor, I think I have a fever. Can you take a look?"
Alex goes directly toward the female doctor, Who was about to remove the shoe from Nathan's mouth, and asked her to take a look at him
"Don't you see this is the emergency department, A general department is dow- !!! Okay, Ple-Please sir come with me."
Beautiful female doctor heard a sound from behind her and was about to annoyingly remind the person that this is an emergency section. Only emergency cases can be treated here. Feeling feverish is not an emergency but as she turned around, She saw that heavenly face.
She for a moment even forgot to breathe. That face was literally breathtaking, So she swallowed all the words she was about to say and asked the man in front of her to come to her office.
It's really an emergency. She can't afford it if anything happens to a handsome man in front of her. It will be a great loss for humanity. As for Nathan? She forgot he even existed.
[Ding! +90 Favorability of Xin Yan increased for the host (Current : 90 Obsession)]
Alex heard the sound of the system. He was not surprised at all. His charm was so much that it can even affect the heroines, not to mention a woman in front of him.
The woman in front of him belonged to the most ill-fated character type in novels, Supporting Female Lead.
In each friction, this type exists. In worse treatment characters neither villain nor the protagonist are able to compare with them.
They are just there to highlight the powers of another key role, And are sometimes even used as cannon folders.
If someone had to die, They would be the first to sacrifice. Their whole existence is to act as a ladder for other characters to reach higher to show-offs.
Most lucky supporting roles are the ones who didn't get any names. At least their fate will not turn worse but if some supporting role has a name 90% chance is that their life will turn into hell.
And if they are female supporting role then they are done, Their no place for joy in their life, They never even given any love interest from author fearing provoking reader, And if they are close or are rivel of heroine, Then there are 50/50 chance that she will either get raped or has to sell her body for competing with heroine, Just to get face slapped by protagonist.
Xin Yan is an unfortunate villain in this ill-fated supporting female lead role, Who is also a rival of Liza. So her fate was already doomed.
"wAiT?? wHaT aBoUt mE??? BiTcH!!! *Slurp*"
When Nathan looked at Alex appearing in front of him, He wanted to hop on his body and tear him into sheds just like a mad bulldog does to tod-*Ahem* toys.
But he stopped himself from doing that, He sensed a threat from Alex's body, He didn't know how but whenever he was close to a person stronger than him, His body feels a tingling sensation.
This might be a superstition but this thing saved his life countless times when his bitch of a master sent him on deadly missions.
So he just throws draggers from his eyes on Alex's body. If eyes could kill, Alex would be dead thousands of times by now.
Then a shocking thing happened: A doctor who was supposed to treat him, Ignored him and, like a dog, followed him wagging her tail.
For the first time he was ignored by a woman, So he felt even more humiliating. He hated when others, especially women, ignored him.
'This disgusting woman's, One day I will conquer them all, Making them beg under me.'
His hatred increased in his heart. In his eyes, All women are dogs, That's why they weren't able to walk past seeing a man. He will someday conquer them all. This was his biggest dream other than having a huge harem.
....
"So what is happening to you, sir."
Xin Yan brings Alex into her personal office to treat him, As for why did she bring him here? Even though she didn't know. She just felt like spending some alone time with him.
"Actually, Nothing much happened to me. It's just every time I look at your beautiful face miss, My heart skips beats."
Alex looked at Xin Yan seated in front of him and said a cheesy line.
Now that he gets to see her up close, She actually does not look worse than any heroine. She has a tall body, Curvy figure, Silky black hair, Her long slender legs were wrapped in black silk, and A beautiful oriental oval face.
Sadly, She was just a supporting female lead role with a name, Her fate was destined for the worse ending. Her role in the whole novel was just to glorify the medical powers of the protagonist and Heroine Liza. So after that was done, Later on off screen family behind her would get destroyed and she went crazy from shock. She then spent her whole life as a mad beggar on the streets.
But now he is here, Plot is already started to go on an unknown path.
"What!!?? There- Heart racing, I- Let me check about that condition."
Alex's words shut off all her thinking capability. She out of her doctor's instincts and started to search for any disease related to heart skipping beats in books by her side with a flushed face.
"Stop, What are you doing Xin Yan? You can't find a cure for my disease in the book."
Seeing her flipping pages continuously, Alex grabbed her healthy white cold wrist and said very seriously.
"Do you know about the cure? Tell me, I can help you find it."
His seriousness also influences her. When his slightly warm hand grabbed her, A shock spread in her body. Her thinking got all messed up, and She didn't even realize what she was talking about. Her body was fully on autopilot right now.
"Yes, The cure for my disease is...Your body."
Alex, seeing this was the right moment, moved his lips near her ear and spoke these words.
*Bang*
His words were like cold water sprayed on the hot pan, It sizzled her heart. His crisp, rough, lust filled thirsty words near her ears make her feel emotions, She never felt before.
Her body felt like it was injected with drugs, Shaking and trembling in excitement. Her throat got dry and her lower half became wet. Her vision also became misty, and confused. Her brain was wobbly, She wasn't able to think anything at all. She might pass out at any moment now.
'Did I do too much?!!!'
Alex was startled by the extreme reaction of Xin Yan, He didn't even do anything yet and she was close to falling unconscious.
[Ding! Host, you are underestimating your Charm, Heroine's are protected by the will of the heavens. So your charm did not affect them to the extreme but these supporting roles were not blessed by that favor.
So all your charm was affecting her, It's suggested to not provoke her any further right now and let her calm down or there is a high chance that because of extreme stimulation, Her body will fall into a coma]
The system jumped in to save the day, It turned out that Alex still underestimated his charm.
Heroines had protection against his charm but other people didn't. So the horror of 190 stats started to take effect.
His simple words were enough to make another party reach the highest level of pleasure there is. After all, he was 6 times more handsome then the most handsome being ever born in this world.
'Didn't that mean I can't do it with normal people? If they have this extreme reaction?'
Alex asked in annoyance. He didn't want to bind himself only to those heroines, There were also a lot of very good supporting and villainous women he wanted to Raid.
[Ding! Host, you can raid them. It's just that you have to let them adjust to your charm first, Don't start with your ace cards with them like you do with heroines.
Go slow with them or they can't handle the simulation of your charm.]
The system, as user-friendly as it is, Instantly resolves the worry in Alex's heart. He just has to go slow with other characters. He can still have them.
"Here is my number, Call me when you calm down."
Hearing the system explanation, Alex didn't want to simulate Xin Yan any more. He still needs her for his future plan to counter the protagonist.
So he just took her visiting card from desk and wrote his name and phone number on the card. After doing that he put that card in the breast shirt pocket of hers subconsciously.
"Ahhh!!!~ *Slam*"
Just as his backhand touched her breasts over the shirt, She jerked back and with a shirk of moan, She had a super climax before passing out. She was about to slam her face into the glass desk in front of her but Alex was quick enough to prevent her from injuring herself.
[Ding! Congratulations host for successfully raiding Xin Yan (Current : 105 Unhealthy Obsession)...
The rewards were being distributed...
Congratulations to the host for getting the Medicine (Lv10) Skill...
Medicine (LV 10) : Mortal peak level knowledge of medicine in all fields like surgery, all kinds of medicine and medicine making, etc.
(Note : Every time the Female Supporting role increases favorability for the host, Host will receive random stats points.)]
*Gulp*
'My Charm is deadly.'
Alex looked at the extreme reaction of Xin Yan to his subconscious action and broke out in cold sweat.
'If my normal action has this big reaction then what would happen if I used my ecstasy hands just now?'
He couldn't help but wonder, His skill makes those heroines yell out in pleasure, So what happened if he used it on these people? He now became curious.
But he didn't dare to do anything to Xin Yan, He still needed her to deal with the protagonists, Not to mention he didn't want to harm her. He is a degenerate, not a psychopath who harms others just because of his curiosity.
'So who do I use this on to test?'
Well, curiosity kills the cat, He can't wait to know the powers of his skill mixture with his Charm. But sadly there was currently no one other than Xin Yan who meets this standard, So he had to drop this idea for now.
After making sure she was okay, Alex exited her office, closing the door on his back.
"Hey, buddy!! Do you wanna bet again? haha"
How could Alex miss the chance to taunt the protagonist? After all, he was the villain, It was his job to belittle the protagonist.
So when he saw that Nathan was still waiting to be treated he went to tease him.
"I wIlL kIlL yOu, BaStArD!!! *Slurp*"
Nathan was successfully provoked by Alex, His anger reached to peak, and right now, He wanted to cut Alex into pieces and feed them to dogs.
He can't wait to see the look of despair on that ugly disgusting face of his. He wanted to steal everything from Alex until he had nothing.
"Huh!? We think too much alike"
There was still a time of Thought Reader remaining, So he heard what Nathan was saying in his mind, Alex was surprised that both of them were thinking of doing the same thing to others, If this is not the Bromance then I don't know what is.
*Ding*
A notification from his phone disturbed Alex's thoughts, When he checked it. He raised his eyebrows in interest.
Unknown : !?=:
Messages were from an unknown number with only symbols contained in messages.
"Interesting"
Alex with a smirk on his face replied to another party and put his phone back.
"Okay, I don't have time to play with you. Get well soon buddy, So we can continue our game."
Alex politely and very caringly said to Nathan before leaving the ward.
Nathan hears of "game" in Alex's mouth, Shivered in fear, He has a very bad feeling in his heart.
"Phew~ Finally, Done."
Liza came out of the operation theater And saw Alex waiting in front of the operating room.
She hurriedly walked to him, As she had already taken out all the dirty contaminated dress and wore her normal one.
"Is everything alright?"
Alex looked at her and asked. In the novel, it didn't tell what happened to Gloria, It just said that she was sick and in an operation something major happened, Giving Nathan the protagonist of the novel a chance to shine in front of the heroine.
So he was worried about whether Liza could handle it. After all this was an opportunity for the protagonist. He is right to fear any unexpected events.
"Yes, Everything alright. It's a really good choice of yours to call me here. Otherwise, Her life would really be in grave danger, This doctor couldn't handle the things that happened later."
Liza was looking to get praise from Alex, So she was telling him what had happened in the operation theater.
"Who has thought that a Simple kidney transplant operation would turn out that serious?"
Liza tells Alex in excitement, She loves handling complicated cases and this one can be counted in the top 10 cases in her career.
"Was it that serious?"
Alex asked in shock, It turn out that Gloria had a kidney problem, Which was already a fatal problem if not treated, And then there are more add-on problem, So he was little worried
"Yes, It was serious, You know we normally don't take out failed kidneys, We just put another new kidney to the side, This is a normal procedure."
Liza's voice contained awe and surprise as she was talking, With excitement to say more about her loved topic.
Alex didn't interrupt and let her talk, He too was curious about what had happened to Gloria.
"But her case was different, It turns out there was a big tumor on the kidney, Which might be the reason why her kidney failed in the first place."
Liza continued to speak, She couldn't fathom how doctors could miss that big of a tumor inside her. Even the scans didn't show it.
This was almost impossible to happen as there were double checks before the operations. She in her long career never saw anyone make this big mistake. If not for her present here, This was a fatal mistake.
"Thankfully, That tumor was biennial and not malignant. So normally it was not an immediate threat but in her case, That tumor had to be removed before we could transplant a new one in it."
There was now a very good smile on Liza's face but that smile looked eerie in Alex's eyes. One of her perks is Medical Maniac. So these terrible things in others eyes are very fascinating things for her.
"But the problem at that moment was that There were no available experts in the tumor department available right now in the hospital. They still needed at least an hour to come here."
Liza's smile reached ear to ear. If someone who didn't listen to what she was talking about would think, This "little" girl might be talking about something funny.
Liza indeed thinks this was funny. In her eyes, the more serious the medical problem is, the more her blood boils to treat it. Learn about it.
Gloria's case is also different, cases like this need weeks if not days of preparation before the expert in this field can start an operation to remove the tumor.
Unlike other doctors, Who live close to the hospital and are needed on the call 24×7, They live a little far away and are not that busy. So even if the hospital calls them they will take an hour minimum not to mention the doctor still would have not operated on her, Until they have confirmation that the tumor really was biennial Before they even think of touching the patient.
That would take at least a few hours to get all the reports, But time is a luxury that Gloria didn't have. Right now both of her kidneys are not working and she can't even be put on the dialysis machine for fear of excessive bleeding.
"But I was there. That tumor also was weird. It even took me an hour to remove it. It was surrounded by lots of major veins and arteries."
Liza finished telling her story and looked at Alex to get praise, Just to see Alex looking at her weirdly.
"What happened?"
She put her index finger and her small plump lips and asked in confusion to Alex, She really didn't understand, Why Alex was giving her that look.
"You skip the main part, *Smack* Tell me if Gloria is okay or not?"
Alex had enough of her. He thought she would get to the main point, that's why he even listened to her big explanation but as it turned out, She didn't even talk about Gloria and only talked about her before she finished talking, looking at him to get praise.
That's why he smacked lightly on her head before asking himself the main question.
"Ouch!!? Why did you hit me? Also, do they even need to ask? The operation was successful, I was the one who was operating on her, So of course, she was alright."
Liza felt very wronged. She did Alex a favor but he not only even said thank you to her but also beat her. This was an injustice.
But when she looked at his face, All her anger and wronged feelings vanished. She thought that she said something wrong and that's why Alex hit her.
After all, face value is justice in her book, So everything Alex did is a fair thing.
"When can we meet her?"
Alex didn't want to argue with this maniac. So he directly asked about the main topic.
"You can't meet her today, Anesthesia needs 1 hour or so to completely wear off, And it will take around 1 hour for her to get conscious, Also she still needs to be in the next 24 hours of tight observation. So you can only meet her tomorrow. She is going to need lots of rest."
Liza was still a doctor, She still cares about the well being of her patients. It's just her interest was laying in some weird place, Other than that she was a completely normal person...well sort of normal person.
"Thank you, I owe you one, I don't have time right now, but I will give you a treat for this tomorrow as a thank you."
Alex was finally let go of his worry, Other people can still treat Gloria, It didn't have to be the protagonist. This also means that he can grab the things meant for the protagonist ahead of time, And not have to wait until the protagonist gets to them.
"Okay, Don't forget about it."
Although Liza was reculent to part away with him, She didn't want to appear desperate. That's why she agreed. Tomorrow they will be meeting anyway.
So Alex bid her farewell and walked towards the waiting room to give good news to Grace.
[Ding! +20 Favorability of Alia increased for the host (Current: 240 Unhealthy Obsession)]
Just as he was about to open the door, He heard the system notification pop up in his mind.
'Did she just eat it now?'
It's obvious how there was this big increase in the favorability, Alia should have eaten the egg's he fried in the morning.
He was just surprised that Alia took this much time to eat it. She should have been awake 1 hour before as it was when she messaged him.
'Think about her later.'
Alex didn't want to worry about Alia now. He had to leave her alone for the time being Until time was right to tame her.
*Click*
He shook his head and opened the door of the waiting room, and saw that Grace was already awake.
She was sitting on her bed, Gazing at her phone blankly. Her jade-like delicate cheeks had trails of tears running, Her whole body was shaking while trying to press down her heavy sobs.
"Grace, what happened?"
Alex was startled by this sight. He quickly came to her and asked hurriedly.
"Ahh!! No- Nothing happened, I-I was just worried about my mother. Tell me if the operation was successful, Mom is alright, Right?"
Seeing it was Alex who came, Grace got surprised and she quickly hid her phone behind her back. She then tried to mask the pain in her eyes before she asked him a question.
Alex didn't have to guess what could have happened here. But he also knew sooner or later, He had to face this for future development.
"Operations was successful and aunty is safe, It's just we can only meet her tomorrow morning as she is still under observation."
He didn't confront Grace yet and first delivered the news that her mother was alright, So the physiological pressure in her weakened.
"That's a relief."
Grace didn't have a big reaction but worry in her heart calmed down. After all, she didn't know about the complicated thing that later happened. She only thought that her mother was having a kidney transplant. Which was not that big or risky operation. It's just that this didn't stop fear in her heart. So he was really relieved hearing everything was alright.
This is the reason why Alex brought her here in the waiting room and let her stay inside, So she would not find out about how serious things had gotten and let worry without reason.
After all, he knew the magical powers of the heroine, So he was pretty confident that the heroine could handle it, And even if she couldn't He can gamble and enter the operating room.
Saving an important character in the plot is also considered a very big world decision, So he was confident that the system would jump in and give him options, Which will definitely include skill or something that can save her.
His confidence was laying there. That's why he was the one who signed in the consent form required for the tumor operation. He didn't let her know about it.
"...."
A very uncomfortable silence fell in the room. Neither Alex nor Grace speak of anything.
"Alia messaged you right?"
Alex was the one to break the silence, He knew Alia would do this and he was prepared for it.
"What!! No- She I-"
Grace didn't know how to answer him, She struggled to speak, She didn't anticipate Alex to speak straightforwardly like this, Yes it was Alia who messaged her and warned her to stay away from Alex.
Saying that they just had a simple fight before, And Yesterday night they solved it and even broke the final limit of their relationship, So she should not try to dig corners.
At first, she didn't want to believe that they crossed that final line, But she also knows Alia's personality. She will never lie about something like this, Her pride will not allow her to do it.
So they should really cross that line and take their relationship on the next level. She wanted to be happy for Alex, and She wanted to congratulate him.
Through the song he sang to Alia, She felt how much he love her, So she too was happy that he was happy but her mind was only agreeing with her. Her heart protested.
Why can't she have him? Was she not beautiful enough? Did she not care enough for him? Is her love lacking somewhere? She can even guarantee that she was the one who loved him the most.
She knew everything about him, What he likes, What he hates, What are his hobbies, What dish is his favorite, and What place he goes to when he is sad. She knows everything about him, The things that Alia couldn't bother to know about.
So she didn't understand, Why he chose Alia and not her. Is money the only reason? Did Alex hate her because she was poor? She was afraid this was the reason.
She wanted to earn money, So much money that she would not be less than Alia, Then she will ask Alex to marry her on equal footing with Alia but she realized that releasing Alia already have him. Her heart felt like bleeding.
She felt like someone jabbed a blunt knife in her heart and started to twist it. She felt so much pain that she can't even describe it in the words. Tears didn't know when it started to flow from her eyes.
"So did she say about how we fucked for hours last night or How I lusted after her body? If that's what she said then it was all true."
Alex didn't didn't hold back and said everything in a one go.
*Crack*
Grace felt like something had just cracked inside her, Tears like a river without a dam started to flow out once again from her red eyes.
At first when Alex said it she thought Alia might really lie but now Alex also confirmed it, That fantasy got broken.
A huge amount of sorrow washed over her. She felt like she lost something very precious in her life. For the first time she hated herself for being poor. She hated her fate which had only misery written in it as if destiny played some sick joke on her.
"Also, Although I was drunk but I also did it willingly, No one forced me."
Well, Alex said a half-truth, But this was necessary to tell Grace, It's better to learn this thing from him than from Alia.
*Crack*
There was that cracking voice again, She felt like her heart would literally break, A immense pain washed over her but unfortunately for her, Alex was just getting started.
