BXBX NOVEL Chapter 319 - Hubris
After the ambulance took Stella to the hospital, Alex and his wives took a taxi to follow them. They sat in silence, holding each other’s hands. They waited roughly one hour for doctors to examine Stella’s body.
And then, the doctors said what everyone had already expected, “We don’t know what’s wrong with her. Everything seems fine. We need to do more tests.”
Stella didn’t wake up a few hours later. She was undoubtedly in a coma, hopefully just for a few days.
As the night came, Sara forced Alex to leave the hospital, returning home with him and her sisters.
“It feels… the worst,” Alex whispered as he recalled his breakup with Olivia. He was in a similar lost state, not knowing what to do. He felt empty and didn’t have the will to do anything.
Although it was not the same as with Olivia, for his ex-girlfriend was healthy, and Stella lost precious time, Alex swore to not let this get into his way.
He would take one day off, then return to the Avander World. The cause of Stella’s coma was undoubtedly Elias Deathwill.
Because of him, Alex would never stop leveling up. If a key to save Stella was to hit level five hundred, Alex would grind like a madman.
“I already feel like my world fell apart… I can only keep going because I know that Stella hasn’t died… But if she died, would it hurt so much I wouldn’t be able to continue living with you?” Alex asked, glancing into Sara, Schnee, and Remia’s eyes, feeling like his heart was about to burst.
Remia couldn’t stop her tears, wrapping her arms around her beloved, “We would understand you. We would be with you and bear the same pain. We would overcome it together.”
Schnee grasped Alex’s hand, looking at him with mixed emotions, “We would share the pain and work to overcome it. We would kill the killer, his friends, and his family. I wouldn’t let the man just pay the price with his life.
And if it were a woman, I would pierce her ass with a twenty-meter-long dildo first. I don’t care what others might think,” Schnee said in a faint voice, having a hint of her bold personality despite such a painful situation.
At last, Sara said after closing the doors, throwing the keys onto the shelf, “Our love can only blossom. People will be jealous of our love in the future, where we will have wars in every land and realm.
Everyone will target us, and yet, our love will only blossom. I will kill our enemies for every scar on my beloved and sisters’ bodies. I will keep going, knowing that I have my family and daughter waiting for me.
I will never stop and do all to keep our love and home,” Sara said, her eyes flashing with a peculiar light as if she used her soul eyes.
She would never stop; her pride was genuine love and a lovely family. She would always control her feelings like a cold warrior.
And while Alex felt blessed and relieved to have all of them, he could see that Sara had the most significant change. It could be related to her sin, a power he utterly grew to hate, for Elias Deathwill proved to have some control over it.
He kissed Remia’s forehead, for she held onto him with tears sliding down her beautiful face, “Thank you.”
He would never forget about humanity with such a cute and kind-hearted fairy by his side.
He then embraced Schnee, thanking her, “Where the hell will you find twenty meters long dildo?”
“I will make one against our enemies,” Schnee faintly chuckled, feeling much better too. She always would have a different perspective in their big family circle, which would often lighten up the mood, for which Alex was thankful.
Lastly, Alex stared into Sara’s hues.
She smiled at him, feeling proud of her beloved. Alex looked much better and ready to continue moving forward. Her heart leaped in joy.
But as Alex continued gazing into her hues, he recalled her words, “We will take one day off. All of us.
You will spend time with Celia, alright?” Alex wrapped his hands around Sara’s waist, bringing his face closer to hers.
They were just an inch before close contact.
“I will,” Sara smiled, listening to her beloved. No one and nothing wouldn’t stop her from hearing and seeing through Alex’s intent. Even if Alex’s words went against Sara’s principles, she would listen to him and properly reply.
Her pride wouldn’t butt between them.
“You take too much work, Sara,” Alex added, recalling everything Sara had done in a short time after coming to Earth.
Her Earthling Quest turned into a manager work, and she swore to work for Alex and her sisters. She spent a lot of time researching Earth and its customs. She also worked with Tomo Homie and their alliance.
She was also a mother, doing her best to spend time with her daughter.
Alex also had an inkling that Sara knew more than him about the antagonists. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so invested in the hungry demons. Of course, it was true that their presence was dangerous and that they could cause many problems.
But Sara was too invested.
“I’m fine,” Sara said, curving her lips into a dazzling smile, reassuring her beloved by patting her slender arm.
“You have developed a high sense of responsibility, Sara,” Alex shook his head, not agreeing with her, “And with that comes a great pride. If it turns into hubris, you will utterly change.
So before you reach such a level, I will remind you what your pride is. Your daughter, mother, sisters, and me. We are your pride.
I’m relieved that you will always be by my side, ready to toil even with a broken heart. You have always been guiding and teaching us, especially me. That’s why don’t go overboard with your plan for heroes.
Believe in my friend, and focus on yourself. I’d rather have you be more with Celia than hero players,” Alex smiled, caressing Sara’s cheek.
She looked at him in a daze. At this very moment, her heart was pure and clean, devoid of any influence other than her genuine feelings for her man.
“Okay…” Sara whispered, extending her hands to hold Alex’s cheeks, planting a soft kiss on his lips, “There’s a lot of forest fairies in our castle.
I will spend time with them. It will be easier since there’s the grandma here,” Sara chuckled, recalling her meeting with Celia’s grandma, the forest fairies’ queen.
It was odd, but the girls quickly found a common link through Celia. The tea parties were the best way to become closer with everyone.
Celia also shared a secret with her daddy about grandma.
Alex nodded brightly as that was what he had been hoping for, “Grandma is apparently good at singing too.” He turned to Remia, “Any thoughts?”
Remia smiled, feeling like such a shift in their conversation was the best for their current mood, “Mom’s lullabies were always nice. I kinda miss them now.”
Schnee sneered, recalling her first meeting with grandma too. In those green eyes, the lustful kitty saw quite valuable information! “We will force her to sing, won’t we?
And if she doesn’t, in the future, someone else will make her sing a chorus through his long, thick, and strong spear,” Schnee laughed.
Remia looked at her oddly, sighing before acting as if she couldn’t see through Schnee’s words.
Sara also understood the meaning, leaving only Alex, who somehow couldn’t read between the words.
