《Awakening》The Gift

Advertisement

Avren and Joice were sitting on the table, ready to eat breakfast. It was a simple breakfast consisting of eggs and sausages, accompanied by grilled tomato, mushrooms, fried onions and toast.

The second that the dishes were put on the table, Avren started eating. But as soon as he put the food in his mouth, his face twitched a bit. But he continued eating nevertheless.

“So, what do you think?” Joice looked at Avren and asked.

“About what?” Avren replied while eating.

“Don’t play dumb! You know I am talking about the food! How is it?” Joice was looking at him proudly.

“cough. It... It’s great! I was wondering if you could cook for us from now on. Haha.” Avren smiled and tried to complement her.

Joice looked at him and narrowed her eyes and said: “You suck at lying. Is it really that bad?”

Avren stopped pretending and said: “You’re right. It’s awful.” He said with a serious face.

Joice rolled her eyes at him and tried to taste the food. But she soon regretted it.

...................

In the end, Avren made another breakfast for both of them. They chatted about many things while eating.

After finishing breakfast, Avren asked seriously: “How’s mom now?”

Joice's cheerful face suddenly turned into a sad one. “As dad told you yesterday, she fainted three days ago after hearing your condition. The doctors don’t know what’s going on. So, they can’t do anything for the time being.” The more she talked the more depressed her voice became.

Avren kept his silence for a while. He was thinking about the medical knowledge that was part of what Dema left for him. But he dismissed that thought. He didn’t know a thing about medicine. And all that knowledge would need at least tens of years to study.

Then he stood up and said: “Come on, we're going to the hospital. Don’t worry, I’ll think of a solution. Mom will definitely be okay!”

.......................

Avren and Joice took a taxi to the hospital. When they reached there, Avren found out that he was already at the level of middle stage Warrior.

'What use is it if I can’t save mom?’ He put all these thoughts down for now and entered the hospital.

Avren tried to test his spirit sense after his breakthrough. He found that he could sense an area of 70-meter radius. If he concentrated on one direction, the range could reach around 200 meters!

When he released his spirit sense, Avren could already 'see' his mom laying on a bed in a room on the third floor. He also saw his father standing outside the room speaking with a man in a suit.

Just when he was about to retract his spirit sense, he overheard the conversation between his father and that man.

“Mr Kleitos, you have yet to return what you owe us. I am afraid it'll be hard to lend you anymore.” The man's voice was very cold. His Chinese accent was also very clear.

“Please! My wife can’t leave the hospital! I'll do whatever you want!” Ruben pleaded.

2 weeks ago, when Avren was discovered to have been infected with the virus, a friend of him told him about this man. So, he contacted him and managed to borrow 30,000 pounds for the hospital fees.

30,000 pounds may not be much, but those people won’t even leave a penny. He will have to return them double, 60,000 pounds!

“Mr Kleitos, we're not charity. No one cares about your wife or whatever. You have 2 weeks to repay your debt. Otherwise, you would wish to be in your wife's place.” Then he turned and left.

Avren, who was listening to their conversation, clenched his fists tightly. His expression didn’t change, but his eyes became colder.

Soon, he and Joice were outside the room. They knocked.

“Come in.” Ruben's voice came from inside.

When Ruben saw Avren, he said hurriedly: “Avren. How are you feeling now? Are you okay?”

Avren smiled and said: “Don’t worry dad. I am perfectly fine!”

Ruben sighed in relief.

“That’s good.”

Joice who saw him like that, laughed lightly and said: “What’s wrong dad? You sound just like mom!”

“Hahahaha.” Both Ruben and Avren laughed. But their minds were busy about something else.

Avren looked at his mom, who was laying in bed. His hearts trembled. All of this... All of this was because of him. His father’s debt and his mother’s condition are all his fault.

Avren sat down next to his mom's bed. He held her hand and wanted to infuse some Qi into her body to help her but due to his ignorance of medical ways, he was afraid to harm her by mistake.

At this moment, in his sea of consciousness, a milky white energy came out from the huge palace. This energy went out of his sea of consciousness came out from his forehead.

This energy was invisible to everyone except for him. So, his father and sister didn’t notice it at all.

‘What?! What’s that energy?’ Avren searched the information left by Dema and found the answer. That milky white energy was a type of medical energy to heal the soul. It was the energy found in a legendary medicine pill called Soul Reviving Pill.

'But how can it appear in my sea of consciousness? Was it always inside the palace? But why appear now?’ Avren was puzzled.

Suddenly he remembered something. ‘When senior Dema left, he said he’d leave me a gift. Could it be...this is his gift?’ Avren felt more grateful for senior Dema. He clearly knew about his mother’s condition and left him the cure.

Without further thinking, Avren let the milky white energy flow into his mom's body.
