《The World seems Realistic but Why do I have a Leveling System? 》Chapter 92: Family Bonding
Advertisement
Just as Sheila was surprised by the sudden quest, Sara and Celia walked into the room right after they were done with their conversation outside, only to get surprised that Anthony is slowly waking up from his coma. Sara immediately runs to his side and holds onto his hands when she noticed the movement from his hand. Knowing that her father has been healed successfully, Sheila put her phone back into her pocket and stood beside her mother; the quest can wait, now she needs information regarding the incident directly from her father if possible. Though she wanted to inquire, but seeing how her mother reacts, Sheila decides to keep her mouth shut.
"Anthony!"
As his eyelids slowly pulled open, Sara couldn't help but cry out his name while holding tightly onto his hands. When Anthony awoke, he looked around with clear confusion on his expression before saying.
"Where...am I?"
While he was speaking, his eyes were analysing his surroundings and noticed that his wife, Sara has worried painted on her expression, and he could also see that his daughter was relieved just by merely looking at her face.
"You're in hospital right now; you don't remember what had happened to you?"
Sara answered while also asking back the question that Sheila wanted to know the most. Anthony nodded his head in response and tried his best to recalling everything, but the only thing that he remembers was panicking when he experienced a sudden earthquake at the mountain before falling unconscious, only to woke up now in the hospital's bed.
He had gone to investigate the mountain because one of his colleagues has told him about the sudden appearance of a powerful magnetic field within the M Mountain. Nothing strange happened when he arrived below the mountain, but once he started climbing and reached a certain height, he was caught off-guard in the middle of the sudden earthquake.
"That was everything that I remembered. But, I was supposed to be injured, right? I remember hearing a crack on my body before I fall unconscious..."

Anthony said with confusion as he could tell that his body right now is completely 'healthy', which was strange considered there are bandages covered all over his upper body. And from the worried look on Sara, he could tell the injuries were quite serious, yet he was still completely healthy as he could get. He tried to straighten up, but Sara stopped him from he could.
"Don't move! Your body is still injured, so just rest properly on the bed for now."
"But Sara, I'm perfectly fine. Here, let me show you."
Right after he said that Anthony immediately put his hand on the bandages before attempting to remove it, but he was stopped once again by Sara as the latter put all her strength on her grip when she grabbed his hands. He looked up and saw a frightening smile coming from Sara as she opened her mouth to give him an 'advice'.
"Stop it. Do you want to get more injured on your body?"
He decides to drop it, seeing the smile from Sara that gives him a sense of danger to his life; it would be better to listen to her for now. Though Sheila didn't seem satisfied with the information received from her father, she determined to visit the mountain by herself later. When the doctor heard Anthony has awakened from his coma, the man immediately came into their room before finding a seat to his side to have a check-up. When Anthony saw a doctor coming through, he started insisting that he was perfectly fine, although the doctor was skeptical and didn't believe his word, the doctor decides to do CT Scan, and the result was surprisingly good which brought relief to Sara's worry. He was discharged soon after, and Sheila's family decides to eat outside in a restaurant instead of their home, accompanied by Celia and Ria.
"I told you I'm fine, though it is unbelievable even to me, it's good that everything works out well now."
"but that should be impossible, at least it should have taken a month for you to be able to move around. Did anything happened when I left the room, Sheila?"

"I don't know, Mom. I was just looking after Dad while chatting with Ria, and if you hadn't come in at that time, I would have call for you when Dad woke up from his coma."
Although Sheila answered with ease and appeared to be calm, internally she was sweating bucket. She was able to keep her calm with Ria by her side; if she had been alone, everything might have been exposed by now. It took quite an effort for her not to give in while staring back at her mother in the eyes, Sheila didn't know if Sara actually believes in her lie, but the latter looked away after like three seconds of staring contest before resume eating in silence. With a chibi version of her inside her head doing fist pump, Sheila also resumed eating while occasionally would think about the quest she had received a while ago.
From what Anthony said, he was injured by the sudden earthquake. But the detail of the quest said 'find the real reason behind Anthony's injuries,' which means the earthquake must have been the result of something else instead of a natural one. If what her father said was right, that earthquake must have something to do with the sign of powerful magnetic field that they noticed before going there to investigate, which result in the unfortunate incident. But strangely, she feels like this incident is familiar like she had experienced this before. She tried to recall everything she had experienced until now, and the strange feeling becomes stronger when she recalled her fight against the first goblin in the alleyways. Is it possible that the two incidents have some kind of connection to each other? Sheila couldn't help but take a deep breath when this realisation hits her.
"Dad, you mentioned about the magnetic field or something back then, but what does it even mean? I know what the word means, but I could not understand it fully as why you went as far as to investigate the place."
When Sheila had asked this question, it feels like Anthony has been caught off guard by her question as he was almost slipped while walking toward their car in the parking lot. Sara's eyes also gleamed when she heard the question but remained silent while staring at his back, waiting for his answer. Anthony feels like he's going to be killed by Sara if he keeps his silence, he laughed awkwardly before opening his mouth and said.
"Ahahaha, that, huh? You do have a good memory, that's good(bad!). What, it's nothing important, I was just helping my friend with his job."
"Is that so? So you still prefer the work over family even when you're on break for a week."
"No no! You got me wrong! Family is still my priority! It's true! This is just a one-time thing, I promise!"
Looking at her father become flustered while answering her mother's cold and monotone words, Sheila slows down her walking pace before pulling the phone out of her pocket. When the family of three, accompanied by Ria and Celia, were done celebrating Anthony discharged from the hospital, Celia decided to part from them while bringing Ria away with her to somewhere else. Because of that, Sheila is now with her family, and they were on their way to the Amusement Park even though she would rather stay at home. Although she loves to play around and have fun, she dislike the place like Amusement Park due to how crowd it could be. It's already part of her nature after having become a shut-in a couple of years ago. Though Sheila doesn't mind spending time with her family, she didn't expect to met her classmate, Angelica, inside the Amusement Park later on.
