"..."
Silence, In the VIP hospital ward there was pin-drop silence. There were two women, one with a hot slutlery body while the other cute alluring one standing in front of the mature seductive one.
The cute alluring woman was sweating buckets standing in the corner trying to make her presence as low as possible to escape the catalytic event that was about to unfold in this ward.
While another one with a hot, slutery body was standing in front of the mature seductive woman with a wide smile on her face unknown to the fact what was going to happen to her next as she was to be punished.
"Mother you didn't answer, Are you alright?....Also the price Alex said, How much is it? He said you should know this and asked me to ask this question to you."
Rose as dumb as she was, really has the guts to ask this question to Helen the moment she entered the ward. Of course it was not the first thing she asked, she was not that dumb.
She asked that question after checking on her, In the same fucking sentence, She didn't even took a break she outright go and asked if Helen was alright and right after speak of about the price.
Even Helen was too dumbfounded to react to that, She just blankly stared at her youngest daughter while thinking what to do with her.
She knows that this youngest one of hers was dumb and might be part of special ed but she never thought her to be this dumb, How the fuck she thought of asking her this question?
'Abortion is still legal, I can still do it, Just call it late abortion.'
Helen could not help but to think of such in her mind, and was even has the will power to actually abort Rose on basis of late-term abortion, Which called in the fancy words of world murder.
Actually abortion is illegal in this country but can be done if gender of the baby is identified and the baby is not the male, So for Helen it was not that hard a choice.
Of course she chose to ignore Rose being out of her womb for more than 2 decades and a living breathing person as it would hinder her quest to get rid of the weaker link.
Survival of the fittest, She is just applying Darwinism here.
"Are you mad at me mother? Why? Did I say something? Or is it because I come too late to meet you? Come on first Alex and now you are mad at me….Oh wait! Alex, mother I just remembered Alex said to me to tell you that she has the same body like yours.
I don't know what that means but he sounded serious, I know you don't like Alex and might even hate him for being the man because of your misandry but hear me not, It might be important.
I think Alex has a crush on you. You should know boys at his age are easy to get attracted to. I know you would hate him if he looked at you with those lusty eyes he looked at my sister.
But please bear it for me not him, he would be too hurt if you treated him hardly and seeing him hurt sister would be angry and I will be the one she will too her anger on.
So for my sake treat him nicely, Please mother."
Rose sees her mother looking at her with her thoughtful gaze and contemplating, So she thinking that her mother was angry at her for not coming to meet her earlier started to rant.
In which she remembers that she has to tell something to her mother which Alex said is very important for her to know, Though Rose still thinks this is a joke but she didn't want to disappoint Alex by chance what he was saying was true.
So she went on the rant talking about Alex and begging her mother not to treat Alex badly, Unknown to the fact that it was not she who treats Alex badly but he does.
She was standing in the same room where Alex bullied not only Helen but also her daughter Aila together on the bed. Rose's mother was sitting on it. If someone sniffed carefully they might even smell the strong scent of their passion even after the room was cleaned thoroughly yesterday.
Natasha was praying for the safety of her young miss, She is the only one in the house Natasha does not have to worry about and can talk freely and easily without fear of being fish food if she misspoke.
But Natash knew it was Rose who ran straight into the burning fire like a moth. She really has the guts to ask that question to Madam Miller. Thankfully she did not told the reason why Alex made Rose ask that question to Madam.
If she knew, who knows if this little miss even was alive, But in hindsight it is also kinda good for Rose.
If she learns the lesson here and talks less from now on, It was worth it. At least this is what Natasha had thought then she heard the rant of Rose directly give up on her.
She not earn enough to deal with that shit, She was sure she need to prepare concrete barrel for her little miss soon enough.
"...Is he saying that he has a crush on me?"
Helen who was silent till now deciding whether or not to go for the late abortion spoke up. Her voice was neutral without any trace of any kind of emotion. She said this as if she did not care about it at all.
But inside her heart she was dancing in joy like crazy, It took her a great deal of self-restraint to not start giggling happily like a teenage girl. After hearing Alex has a crush on her.
'He has a crush on me, hehe~'
Helen repeated in her mind as butterflies running in her stomach making her ticklish, Her heart also felt like it swell pumping blood in her last making her skin tone light tempting color of reddish hue.
This sharp-minded woman, Who is also one of the only 7 people in this county to have S-Rank warrior rank, even ignored Rose trolling her about Alex having the same body as hers.
This was supposed to be a key note here and if Helen was alright she would have caught it no doubt but as the saying goes men in love drop their IQ by half, This saying also applies to women.
Helen in the love fever sees nothing but the man her heart yearns for the warmth of embrace, the fire of his passion and the liquid of his love.
"He did not say that but said he would love to sleep with all three of us, Saying that even the three of us can't satisfy his hunger for young bodies."
Rose spoke once again without thinking as her brain lacked the capability to do so, And just uttered whatever given to her.
It's just that when she said that the mode of Helen changed in an instance as an oppressive aura filled the ward making both Rose and Natasha give a helpless feeling of impending doom.
"Natasha, Get out."
Helen after a while of silence uttered those words as her eyes with sharp intet locked on the Rose who was oblivious to what was happening and was her own happy world.
She just thought that Helen was silent because of the reasonable shock after hearing those words, But she was okay with it. As long as she was persistent enough she might convince her mother to do it.
Maybe it's not possible for her to agree to marry Alex but there is a chance that with her backing she can convince her dear elder sister to let her marry Alex with her.
Even if she could not marry him, She could at least be his mistress of his which for her is quite exciting than to marry him.
Just think about that Alex is married to her sister Alia and makes an excuse to come and meet her in secret to have "fun".
The mere thought of making her excited and her body warm, There was also a tingling sensation in her nether region with a strong urge to rub the itching of hers but she used all her willpower and brain power to stop it.
Which in result prevented her from thinking of what might happen her mother was not shocked but super angry as her own possessiveness was triggered by the words of Rose.
"Y..yes Ma-Madam."
Natasha was shaking in fear, Who knows why Rose was not least bit affected by the pressure released from her Madam but she was not in the condition to care for that a bit.
Being targeted that the being that whole fear and also called a nightmare in many places is well nightmare, She can't even flick her single muscle under that immense pressure.
So when Helen asked her to leave was a thirsty lost woman finding osis in the unforgiven desert.
She though a little sorry for Rose but her survival was a key factor here, she just hoped if Rose died she would at least go peacefully and not the way a normal Miller family sends people down there.
And with her shaky voice, she replied to Helen and after giving a pitiful look of distress and unwillingness to Rose, She quickly made her exit out of this ward.
"*Huff* *Huff* W-Why always me?"
Natasha came out of the ward and walked as far as her wobbly legs allow her to be before she with her back to the wall slid down and sat on the cold floor before asking why her fate was like this one.
She was a normal orphan, who was lucky enough to be adopted by some group in her childhood. They trained her a few things about fighting along with the other essential skills for the butler.
She for the first time had a place to call home and get a stomach full to eat. Even though those people were too harsh and strict with her, She was actually happy to be there.
Then one day a little girl with a cold demeanor came and just looked at her before she asked her to go with her, Which Natasha though confused did after her caretaker ordered.
And so the next thing she knew, The Miller family had taken her in. She was the personal butler of Alia, The eldest of Miller, The cold demeanoured girl.
But as it turns out later on, though, that cold-hearted girl who only thinks and does purely with logic without any shred of empathy nor sympathy like a robot has a soul hidden deep in her, Which Natasha being only close to her notices.
She also picked up the thing that triggered her eldest miss, so she also picked up the instinct to do and say things safely around Alia to please her, Other than that she was living the life little she could only dream of.
She gets paid fairly or even a little more than what she deserves, The only problem is that this is a family of maniacs.
There is no due diligence in the process to confirm if you are the guilty one. As long as you offended the main people being Alia and Helen, You are done.
She gets it that the rich have a weird tamper, But these guys are on a different level. Last time Alia burned down the whole family of her competitor.
Yeah she knows that not even one in that family was good gals, They were selling counterfeit essential medicine and selling them cheap to make up the huge profit.
Thousands of people lost their lives after consuming those medicines but that was not the righteous reason Natasha hoped why Alia burned them alive.
Her reason behind doing so is simply that they used her company name to sell those medicines, which is also dumb of them considering Exotica company of Alia makes beauty products only.
Yeah, she considers there might be a very tiny possibility that Alia does that to avenge those who lost their lives but she doubts that as she has known Alia since childhood.
In her eyes, there is no place for the feeling or emotions. All she cared about was the result and how she could improve those results. In a simple sense, she is an emotionless machine who pretends and tries to act like a human.
Well, that was true until the case of that dreadful night, Alia cried, The woman she used to think could not be less of a human showed the most basic sign of being human, She showed empathy.
Though that was for herself but she still showed it proving she was human after all.
So Natasha let her guard down and suggested something she has regretting ever since.
"I should have never suggested to the Eldest mistress that at all, Now it is coming to bite me."
Natasha holds her head thinking of how one single man makes the most tranquil time in the Miller household turbulent like a whirlpool.
Before that night no buddy cared about someone named Alex and now she only hears that name only thrown around and has events based on that man, Which was messing with her survival instinct.
Since childhood, she has learned to avoid the thing that triggered the Miller but who have thought since that night even simple things like, "You look good today miss/madam" trigger them to the extreme.
They then say would they not look good yesterday? And go into panic mode, And both Alia and Helen take it on her.
Thankfully their bloodthirsty nature was subdued a lot but there was still the threat of being shot down out of nowhere.
"Forget it, I should go buy a dress and bag for the memorial of Miss Rose."
Natasha stood up and as if she had not just gone through the emotional roller coaster and walked off towards the elevator.
Maybe she was also not normal herself while she was pointing fingers at others.
…..
"You keep talking."
In the ward after sending Natasha away, the demeanour of Helen instantly changed and with a weird look on her face, she asked Rose to continue talking as there was unexplained excitement in her voice.
"That…I am saying that Alex is talking about how he can take three of us mother and daughter together and we still can't extinguish his hunger for the young flesh."
Rose was taken aback seeing the weird expression on her mother's face, She had never seen her like that. That face always used to stay still void of any emotions.
So it was weird to see the smile on her mother's face, But in any case, she was happy at least her mother had not outright not rejected this idea.
Yeah, she knows her mother would never agree to do anything like that, She is even disgusted to be touched by a man much less ask her to sleep with the man with her own daughters.
This thing her proud mother would never in a million years do, She just spoke this so when she asked to be also be with Alex along with Alia, After all her brain works once in a blue moon.
"Why was he talking to you about this matter?.... You did not sleep with him, Right?"
Helen took a moment of silence after once again hearing those words but this time her emotions were not wild and mostly controlled. She was 50% sure that she would not kill her dumb daughter in anger.
So she decided to continue the conversation further. It's just that there is one issue that bothered her.
Why would someone as modest and sweet as Alex would talk things like this to her only daughter who has not slept with him yet. That made her doubt the relationship between the two of them.
She knows someone like Alex would never use his body like that unless he was pressured, blackmailed or forced upon him to do so like she did with him when he grabbed him and forced herself on him.
Yeah, later it was her who was howling out of ecstasy in front and later with her daughter, But that does not matter to her.
The point is that Helen doubts that Rose used her power and connection to make Alex do something he didn't want to do. There is no doubt if this is the case, Natasha would really need to arrange the barrel filled with concrete tonight to add one more member of such barrels down in the river.
"Wh-What!!...No, I mean he kinda doesn't like me, For obvious reason….I few days ago came to him and offered him money to leave my sister Alia."
Rose was flushed red hearing her mother ask that question out of shame, She still regretted why she picked up that phone that night, If only she hadn't done that then, Right now she would be proudly able to say that.
Yes, She Rose Miller slept with the dream of a million women, Alex Winchester but sadly she picked up her phone, Which unknown to her saved her life now.
Because the moment Rose said they didn't have that kind of relationship, The killing instinct just arose in the heart of Helen died down as she looked at her with an adoring look.
"What happened after that? He rejected your money and then what did you do?"
Helen, though quite angry at Rose, humiliates Alex like that but she gives her a pass to live as she now understands why Alex and Alia have a disagreement.
It is most likely Alex was angry with Alia on why her sister did that to him and Alia being her definitely has ignored his hurt feelings, Which might be the reason they took the break and were fighting about it.
So if she thinks about it, Rose is the reason why she is able to be with Alex, and for that reason Helen is very very pleased with her and is ready to also give her a reward, She was just thinking of what to give her.
"No, He accepted the money."
Rose, without thinking much, spoke up after hearing her mother say the wrong thing. That cheque was redeemed not long ago to pay for the medical expenses of Grace's mother.
"Impossible, How dare you lie in front of me, Someone like Alex would not sell his love for a few million UC."
Helen flare-up, She knows someone like Alex would never sell his love for a few broken bucks, She believes in him that he would never do something that humiliating to sell himself-consciousness.
She knows this even before considering Alex belongs to the family of the Nobles, The force that even she thinks twice about going against as an S-Rank warrior.
So someone who belongs to that family would never stoop so low for just a few million UCs. She knows it is only a few million UC as Rose does not have the authority to spend over 10 million UC per day.
Hence she knows Rose was lying, the 2nd thing she hates the most after the people who hurt her Alex.
"No Mother, I am not lying to you, He indeed took the money, But the fact is that I offered him 1 million and he only took 888,389 UC, not one dime more or less."
Rose, seeing her mother did not believe her and even misunderstood her intention, decided to clear things out. She didn't want to reveal this to her mother but now she has to as she spoke too much already.
"He took less than what you offered him? Why?"
Helen wanted to shoot down the words that were coming out of her dumb daughter's mouth labelling that as blasmephy but when he heard the words she halted her speech.
She smelled something that was not right here. The amount was too specific. If she did not knowing it was Alex who said that might have considered this as a trick but because it is related to Alex she ignored all other issues with it and focused on the problem of Alex.
Now that it was about Alex, She started to think about what might be the urgent need of poor Alex that he had to do that, And then find a way to help him.
"He took money for the operation of his classmate's mother but he didn't tell me that. He just hesitated for a while and accounted for the money. I thought he was a gold miner as you said and wanted to forget about it.
It's when I came to meet you, I saw him giving that cheque to his classmate, Who used that to pay the medical bills, So he took money only to help his classmate, he has that big heart and yet I wronged him *Sob*"
Rose answered to Helen as she recalled the events and once she did that all the guilt she was running from caught up to her making her unable to hold her pearl-like tears taint her smooth pinkish cheeks.
She really feels hurt for wronging Alex like that. After all, she is dumb but her heart is like a white cotton, pure and soft.
"Ohhh, So that's why, Wait!! Tell me if that classmate was female or male?"
Helen after hearing the answer also shed a few drops of her own but unlike Rose who was guilty, She was proud of the man she loves, Who is also her daughter's boyfriend.
But suddenly she thought of one key detail, Rose used the gender-neutral term to describe classmates throughout the story, Which rubbed her the wrong way and with increasing jealousy she asked Rose.
Rose, unknown to the fact that she got herself into the middle of the Asura field was about to answer happily for her mother, As she didn't think what the big deal of telling the gender of the classmate was.
She did not understand why from the begin with she had not mentioned that, But now her mother asked, She would answer it honestly.
"Mother, The classmate is- "
*Ring~* *Ring~*
But just when Rose was about to open the Pandora box, Her phone rang, She stopped talking and out of her instinct picked up the phone to see if it was not her sister calling out of instinct without even asking for pardon from her mother.
It's just that Rose is not able to care about that because after seeing the name on the screen, Her pupils become wide.
"It is my sister."
Rose spoke to her mother and even before Helen would say something pick up the call. She has had this fear of her sister since childhood.
Which is also the reason why even when she didn't want to pick up the call that night picked up call out of instinct, She just couldn't help it.
Helen actually was pissed off, If not for the fact that this woman is her blood daughter and right now there was a good feeling for her in her heart, She would have slapped this girl out of this ward.
"Hello sister how are you, I done the jo-"
"..."
"Si-Sister? Are you there? Th-That I met Alex, he sa-said t-t-that he would outlast three of us and we can't fulfil his hunger for young flesh."
"...."
"He showed me hi-his th-that part….I didn't look away."
"..."
"What do you want?!!"
Rose panicked now, If Alia spoke with her then she did not have this worry but the silence of her sister killing her from the fear that her sister would kill her.
She knows what will happen between her and Alex if Alia knows it would be over for her but this unexpected call from her and then silence tells her that her sister already knows about the incident.
So knowing that Rose could not help but to be honest because if she lied she was digging her own grave, Lying to Alia is the 2nd most stupid thing one can do after desiring her forbidden.
She had already done one stupid thing, She did not want to do another one, especially knowing that she was going to repeat the past stupid thing once again.
But even after she confessed everything, even the thing about seeing the male chicken of Alex, Alia did not reply to her at all, making her finally break down and asking her what she wanted.
"Are you a virgin?"
Finally, the sound that Rose was dying to hear came, the same old bone-chilling inherent coldness mixed with just a brief answer making the listener ran sack their brain for the answers to the question being asked.
"I am waiting!! No, I am not my sister. Who do you think I am? I am the younger mistress of the Miller family. There was a row of men who wanted to get my favour.
Huh huh *Nervous chuckle* So-So why do you say I am a virgin, I am obviously…."
"Tread carefully."
Rose was taken aback when asked by her sister about her that status. This never happened before, Her sister never cared about her to ask questions like this one.
But because Rose was more embarrassed to answer it, how can she say that she who is in her 20s is still a virgin? Not only virgin but not even hold the hand of bo- wait!
Well, she indeed lost her first kill to Alex, so she was not that inexperienced but she knows that this is not something to brag about in front of her sister even though she so badly wanted to do so.
It's just when she is about to utter her answer and use petty lies, That bone-chilling voice comes from the speaker of the phone once again halting Rose in her tracks.
She didn't know if she had imagined it or not but this time she felt that voice was a lot more colder as if she just offended her sister but that can't be right, Right?
She just wanted to say she was not a virgin, There is no way these words would offend her sister no matter how unreasonable her sister is.
"*Ahem* Well I have options but I never d-do, not because anything is wrong with me, I am sure every time is fine down there, I consulted the doctor."
Rose, hearing the tone and warning of her sister could not keep her facade anymore and confess, She was ashamed to be a virgin even in her 20s and that's why she did not say such stuff out loud.
The last time she did that people gave her weird looks asking her if she was alright or if she was even interested in boys or not, Even calling her Lala.
So she is not comfortable sharing this information at all, because the actual reason why she is a virgin is even more embarrassing.
She was afraid. She was afraid that she didn't know what to do and would mess up the whole thing being the joke of the man she was going at it with. That is why she never even approached the man or gave them any response.
She was utterly terrified of the thought of messing up a simple thing like that, she feared what if she did not do it right? What if she put it in the wrong hole? What is even the right hole?
She didn't even know that because the last time she searched she found out that these men were a lot wilder than they look. She found that no hole was out of the question.
Though she does not know what anal boys still hesitates and needs a lot more convincing from their girlfriends to give their anal virginity to their boyfriend, But that doesn't matter to Rose as she knows one thing that all holes are fair game making her even more confused about what is right and wrong.
"Okay."
To Rose's answer, only one word came from the other side making Rose nearly burst out crying right then and there. She burst open her heart for her sister and revealed her most embarrassing secret and all she got was okay? Why is the world so unfair to her?
"Sister, Then by-"
Rose wanted to hang up the phone, not because of frustration but because of fear. That instinctive fear for her sister is still there in her heart and her survival senses for some reason are now tingling.
She having a weird sense of crisis. She felt like she somehow put a target on her back but knowing no one has the guts to target her, the youngest mistress of the Miller family she chose to ignore that feeling for now.
"Stay there."
*Beep-Beep*
But before Rose could cut off the call, The command came from the other side and the call was disconnected, Rose with her trembling hand put back the phone in her pocket and looked at her mother currently tears running down from her rosy cheeks.
"Mother, Save me."
"Take one step towards me and I will send you out flying."
Helen spoke in an identical tone to Alia as she looked at the Rose rushing towards her with tears running down her face and a runny nose wanting to be hugged.
There are two things wrong with this one. First, She is absolutely disgusted to be touched by another human being, Alia and she shares that cleanness freak trait together. At least until yesterday, she could not allow anyone to touch her.
Second, she kinda has a hunch about Rose's infectious disease of stupidity, Though there is no solid proof but she as an S-rank has a very strong repulsion when Rose comes near her.
As an S-Rank warrior, She feels every time there is something wrong with Rose coming towards her, That is why she checked and scans Rose thoroughly with the instrument and with her own spiritual power.
But she can't able to find anything, Rose is just a normal huwomen being, Which is contrary to what her instincts indicate, so she knows it's best to keep her distance from Rose as anything she has is beyond her pay grade.
After all, Even if someone like her can't find what is wrong with her. It's best not to mess with it then, So Helen always keeps her distance from her youngest daughter, not that she had any close relationship with Alia.
Of course, it exuding yesterday's events.
"B-But sis-sister…"
Rose was heartbroken, she knew her mother suffering from a clean freak syndrome but all she wanted was a hug to get a sense of comfort, because she was extremely terrified.
The words of Alia indicated she knows, knows that she came here to complain about Alia, which means she was now done for, Alia would definitely be going to punish her more severely.
Especially when she heard the question of her being a virgin, That gave her chills. Her sister never waste words for useless stuff like gossip. If she asked that means Alia has some plans for her.
And now that she thinks about it deeply as her shame goes away, Asking this means Alia already has some plans for her and with the past record, it would definitely not be something good for her.
"Don't worry, I will not let her kill you or sacrifice you to Ancient gods, I don't want them to be pissed at us for offering you."
Helen just looked at Rose and with a straight face answered her, Yeah, even she thought Alia wanted to sacrifice Rose, knowing her daughter she would definitely do something like this.
This Helen never allowed, First, there was little to know information about those ancient gods and how powerful they currently are in this time and age, and Helen knows if Alia doing this then it would definitely be for to get Alex, Which would contradict her own desire to get him.
And also there is fear that if they offer someone like Rose, Those gods will be pissed at them and throw tantrums. There were legends of them doing so over minor things.
So sending Rose to them as a sacrifice would be considered a direct offence, Helen currently doesn't want to deal with that kind of thing, so Rose has to stay.
"Huh!? Mother, how stupid do you think I am? I know my sister would not kill me nor sacrifice me, I am more worried about what she is planning for me."
Rose abruptly stopped crying and looked at Helen with a weird look on her face. Her eyes were red and became puffy because of standing as her soft cheeks were stained by the trail of warm tears.
But it does not lower her inherent alluring charm, She was still or even more alluring right now, The devilish body she blessed with also complimenting her allure.
Even if she is dumbass there is an irresistible charm on her that is nearly impossible to resist. She is like a walking ecstasy.
"You have so much trust in her that she will not hurt you?"
Helen was taken aback. She knows Alia. There is no hint of compassion nor any sympathy is in her. If she thinks something would benefit her or her company she will going to do it without hesitation.
Rose being alone with Alia all this year should know this personality trait of her own sisters but then thinking how dumb her youngest daughter is, Helen gives up on it thinking she is just that stupid.
'She is like Capybara, Too stupid to care, That is how she might have survived all this long.'
Helen could not help but compare Capybara, whose motto is to airhead, Be soo stupid that confuses others on how one can be this stupid.
That is how apparently they survived this long, They just don't give fuck about anything as they do not have the mental capability to do so.
Unlike their other family members like Honey Bagger or Wolverine they not chose be as offence as possible that you not even afraid of god rather they chose to be as friendly as possible that even jaws of death you can be relax.
Which somehow works, The proof of that they didn't get wipe out yet means it world, Maybe her daughter is like them, Chose friendly natural for survival.
"What?!! Why do you think that? Sister would throw me under the bus for a half-eaten cookie, The one she is not even going to touch because it was half-eaten."
Rose after a moment of silence spoke to Helen as if she just heard the most bizarre thing. She knew Alia very well and who she acted to, Rose is terrified of Alia because this analogy is actually highly probable.
"Huh!?...Then why do you say she will not hurt you?"
It was Helen's time to be taken aback, She looked at Rose as if she was watching some bizarre creature, She even ran her mana and searched Rose to confirm if she is her stupid daughter or not.
Turns out this is her stupid daughter, Who actually understands what threat she was dealing with, But this makes her more confused if she knows then why Rose does not think Alia would not hurt her.
"What do you mean why? It is obvious, You are still alive and still head of the family, Which means you have all the authority and power in the family. If she kills me or hurts me, You would stand against it as killing family members is prohibited under your rules.
Only you as a head of the family can make that decision, so sister knowing the consequences would not hurt me, and there are also other things that are going to prevent her from doing so.
Like even if we assume you will forgive her as she would be the only heir of the family left behind, the sister would still not take such a gamble, As she didn't like to be at the mercy of the odds.
And one more thing is that even if I am not that special I am still 2nd and youngest daughter of the Miller family. If something happened to me there would be a lot of talk, questions and investigations.
Even if my sister and you pushed down and buried this matter in front of common people, This would still be dirty laundry which can be found out by anyone with little time and a similar background like us.
Which would give a handle to those people to use against sister, Knowing sister this would be the biggest reason she would never kill me or sacrifice me as she didn't want a headache.
Keeping me around which just annoys her is a better option than dealing with a family with a similar background like us while being in a defensive position, Sister would hate that to the core. That is why I said my sister would never harm me mother.
Rose just looked at Helen totally confused on why Helen would ask such a question about this simple thing to her but knowing it was her mother who asked it, She parted her rosy lips and started her reason thoroughly.
While Helen just looked at her youngest daughter with utter shock.
"Who are you?!"
In the end, Helen could only able to utter such words as her eyes filled with disbelief locked on her youngest with full of uncertainty about her identity.
Helen had no words to say, She was flabbergasted, All she knows is that there is no way her brain-dead daughter could come up with this much reasoning.
Yeah, it is not that hard to think about, Any woman with a normal working brain can say what Rose just but that just makes it more hard to believe.
Rose is not normal, Though there is no problem with her brain her IQ is of a 5-year-old toddler.
Even a toddler might be smarter than her, So Helen was sure the woman standing in front of her was not her daughter at all.
So she used her power and scanned not only the body of a Rose but her soul to see who has the courage to trick her.
'What!? She is…Rose?'
But even searching using her power, Helen could not find that there was something wrong. This woman standing in front of her is indeed her stupid daughter.
Yet Helen refuses to admit it, She knows Rose very well, She is incapable of this type of thought process, So Helen takes into consideration of another possibility.
Her whole body became tense as she was ready for confrontation, After all, there was only one possibility left if even she was not able to prove that this is not Rose and that is this is some S-Rank warrior.
Yeah, only another S-rank can trick her sense into not being able to see through the disguise of women in front of her, This is the only possibility in the mind of Helen.
After all, Helen is currently in her unstable period, She was in a coma for quite some time making her spiritual power in her body run wild, Her mana is also not stable enough.
Right now she was like a shaken-up can of soda. If her power were used now it would burst out and explode out of control destroying not only this hospital but the whole city along with it.
This is the reason why even after she became conscious now, she did not get discharged. She still needs time, The time which seems she will not get as someone of her old enemies might get a whiff of her current condition.
'What to do? I can't use my power, Alex is still in their hospital. He will surely not be able to survive if my power runs wild, Arggh!!!'
Helen was very anxious. She knew Alex was still in the hospital, If she really used her powers, There was no possibility of surviving. Unless there was another S-Rank on the field to take quick action to prevent the destruction, The death of millions is inevitable.
So Helen decided not to use her power. Let's see what the other party wants. They surely do not want to kill her as if that were the case she would have been attacked long ago knowing her situation and there are also Nobles who do not allow one S-Rank to kill another.
This means there is something this S-Rank wants from her, and if it is not too much Helen is ready to give in.
"Wh-What? What did you mean? Who am I? I am your daughter, did you forget who I am? Did you get Alzheimer's because of your old ag- Eughh!! So-Sorry."
But Rose, hearing her mother asking such a question quickly came to her and asked in a high-pitched voice very concerned about the mental health of her mother.
She thought that her mother might need mental help, Even knowing the fact that her mother is not a normal huwomen, Who couldn't get sick like just like that
Though she is not aware of the hidden society, she knows superpowers exist and knows both her mother and sister have some kind of power, but again it's Rose. It's not right to expect critical thinking from her.
Sadly for Rose, her luck might have run out as before she could finish her sentence, Her throat felt like clutched by the unseen force stopping her dead in track.
"Get out!!"
Helen spoke in a very cold voice that lowered the room temperature down a few degrees. It was not just a metaphor, The killing intent containing in the voice so strong and pure that it actually affected the reality.
'She is definitely my stupid daughter.'
Helen spoke to herself as right now she is controlling all her urges to rip that mouth apart that called her old. She is not that old, Considering her status as an S-Rank she is in her 20s at best.
Not some old cow wants to eat young grass, She is not that type of woman, Before she did not care about her age at all, As which women care about that stuff?
As long as she is healthy it's all that matters but after Alex, She just can't control the strong repulsion she feels everytime someone mentions her age, It just bothers her.
She knows Alex is quite young, and if she thinks it through her S-Rank age measurement, He would like the infant to her. After all, her actual age is hundreds of years old.
She just needs time to convince herself there is nothing wrong with it as age is just a number, Alex by law is a legal and mature man, It's all there for her to think about it.
As for the matter of her stupid daughter? It's confirmed that it is her offspring unfortunately, After all, she is only dumb enough to trigger her like this.
"O-Okay, Mother, Just tell sister you send me away, Bye take care of yourself, Love you."
Rose rubbed her throat. That sudden pressure went away as suddenly as it appeared, Thankfully it did not hurt her much, just left behind some tingling feeling making her itchy.
Then she heard the stern words of her mother, Which told her that she said something that she shouldn't, So without arguing Rose was ready to slip away.
But who is she? She is the woman with 99,999 luck. Of course, she will not leave without solving her problem and getting something good in return.
"*Sigh* Take this, And I….lov- Take care of yourself out there."
As expected, Helen's heart softened upon hearing her daughter's words.
Helen is not incapable like Alia of loving and caring for someone. She does love her daughters, Both of them even though both are too different from each other. It's just there is guilt in her heart for both of them making her incapable to actually expressing her love out of that guilt.
So this time Helen just throws the credit card from her bedside to Rose, This is how she expresses her love and care for her, Or this is the only way she knows to do so.
"Thank you, mother, I am going now."
Rose quickly catches the credit card her mother gave to her, And with a happy and wide smile thanked her mother before exiting the ward thinking of what to buy with it.
Though her card limit is 10 million UC for per day but she can't use that much money as she has to give a record of where she spent the money to her sister, So she can't just spoil herself.
But with her mother's card, she didn't have to worry about that. She can spoil herself as much as she wants and buy things that her sister does not allow her to buy.
"Yeah go but don't waste money on nonsense things like before."
Helen said to the fleeting figure of Rose knowing she would not listen and buy something useless and nonsensical as she always does.
"What am I going to do with these girls?"
Helen said to herself in defeat, not knowing how to love the complicated relationship of their mother and daughters.
…..
"Well, it's midnight, It's time to go."
Alex stands up carrying sleeping Xiao Bai in his arms, He checks Xin Yan and sees she is alright and a sleeping sound makes his way towards the ward of Gloria, He has to deal with the hidden issue for once and all.
Not knowing what is brewing in this hospital and how much trouble he needs to deal with it soon.
"Oh, Is aunty Gloria asleep?"
Alex entered in the VIP ward of Gloria and looked at the figure comfortably sleeping on the bed.
He turned around to look at Liza who was checking the reports which just came, trying to see why Gloria's heart shut down out of nowhere. It has to be something big because the heart is not something that just stops out of nowhere.
"Yeah, I medicated her for it. Look at these reports and tell me what you see wrong with it."
The little old Loil gleefully walked towards Alex as she admitted that she drugged her patient as if it was not that big a deal at all.
She just said it and then handed over the reports to Alex for him to take a look at the reports totally glossing over the fact about her drugging Gloria.
"You didn't know the reason why her heart stop beating, I don't think giving her sleeping pills is a good idea."
Alex gave Liza a weird look before he started to look through the report, he didn't forget to point out what she did was wrong.
Yeah he did not worry about what she did because she is a heroine, She has her own healer heroine halo, No matter what medication she gives to her patient it would be fine.
But that is a thing, He know that because he know the story knows why she is so special but in others eyes like Xin Yan this is malpractice, For them Liza putting the lives of her patient in danger to do her experiments.
This is the sole reason why there were clashes between Xin Yan, The head of this department before but unfortunately, Xin Yan is just a supporting role, So her good intentions are not seen by anyone.
In the eyes of others Xin Yan always crossed Liza because she was jealous of Liza and not because Liza was doing something dangerous to her patients.
"Oh, I know that is why I didn't give her the pills. Her heart was beating fast for some reason a while ago as if she was excited by something, So I just gave her general anaesthesia. Now she is calm and stable, You first see the reports."
Liza as a medical maniac didn't see anything wrong with giving her patient things that are not supposed to be given under normal situations, Especially like anaesthesia, the thing we have no idea how it works.
If it was someone other than Liza, Alex would have punched them across the room, It's just if Liza did it means it was good for Gloria and so he ignored it, he focused on the reports to see what is Liza was talking about.
"Huh?! How is that possible?"
But as Alex look through the reports, A frown appeared on his face, It was hard for him to believe in his eyes of what he was seeing, Thinking he might have read it wrong he once again looked through it but the result stayed the same.
"False posi-"
"Already considered, These reports are the third time doing it, results stay the same even with different samples, So these are not false positives, this is her current condition."
The first thought of Alex seeing such a bizarre report was to think there was something wrong with testing. It happens often, There is a whole test for it to filter out such results.
Most obvious being that to check if symptoms match with the results as to prevent more of such false positives but here what is happening here?
"Why are all of these weird? Each and every test reports shows she is healthy, Not only healthy but in a prime peak state, Even heart is showing to be healthy as a horse.
It was not supposed to be like this at all."
Alex looked at the reports and said in a very confused voice but now because of a different reason.
According to the plot, Gloria in the start and middle of the plot always was sick. That is the whole theme that brings Gloria and Grace into the protagonist's hands, only when Gloria finally contacts her family and accepts her identity she becomes healthy again.
After which she along with her daughter started to aid the protagonist in his conquest.
So this is not supposed to happen this early, If this happening here then who knows what else tapping out there he is not aware of.
"Yeah, This is new even for me, There is absolutely nothing wrong with her, and yet her heart deciding it not want to quit, This is indeed very bizarre, I even checked with "other" methods but could not find anything."
Liza had a wide cute uncanny grin on her face as she said to Alex in her excited voice like a child showing her new toy to a new friend. She was obsessed by the condition of Gloria.
She treated many patients throughout her medical career including the ones with superpower but she never seen like such a thing, Gloria didn't have any superpowers to make her this way.
But she showing a heightened ability for healing. Excessive stem cells were being produced in the body that replaced all faulty cells with new powerful ones.
If she found out how Gloria was able to do it, it would be a huge leap in the normal people's medical field, It would increase their life span by a few more decades.
'System do I still need to use Holy Blessing on Gloria now?'
Alex ignored Liza as she went on to talk about how much this will benefit the Women kind, He had a rather more important issue to deal with right now.
He goes into the system space and a sled system with an important question, If Gloria is in her peak prime condition then in his eyes wasting his healing power on her is not a good idea.
But then again according to the plot there is a possibility this state is just the last intense flicker before it collapses.
[Ding! Host it suggested you to use Holy Blessing on Gloria, Though it is showing she is in prime peak condition but it would not going to last long because there is a huge chance her hidden injuries from before would give her backlash soon.
Also Holy Blessing would still going to increase the prime state of Gloria even more, Push it beyond her physical boundary because of her origin, So it would not be wasted.]
The system is quick to respond and gives its suggestion, The one that aligns with Alex's. He was uneasy about wasting Holy Blessing as according to reports Gloria is in peak condition.
The main power of his Holy Blessing but now that system says that there is more growth possible for Gloria thanks to her origin, So he didn't feel bad for wasting the use of it on her.
"Step back, Let me destroy all hidden threat once for all."
Alex after confirming didn't want to waste time and walked towards Gloria reminding excited babbling Liza to stand away.
