Chapter 146: Grandfather Arrives in Brazil?

After Luan had dinner, a few minutes later Amanda and Ingrid arrived by Ferrari.

Amanda was stunned. She was not used to such luxury. She looked at the big mansion with her mouth wide open. Now, she started to feel even more nervous than when she got into a Ferrari since she thought it was too luxurious just to be able to ride in a car like that.

Noticing that her mom was feeling nervous, Ingrid said with a reassuring smile, "Mom, I know it seems intimidating, especially for us, but you don't have to be so nervous. My boyfriend's family is very kind and won't let you down."

"Err, I know daughter, but I'm worried that I will end up making you feel ashamed," Amanda admitted with a sigh. It was difficult for her not to feel nervous since she came from a poor background and did not want to make a bad impression on the family of her daughter's boyfriend.

With the car stopped, Ingrid turned and took her mother's hands and said very seriously, "Mother, you were never a disgrace to me, and you never will be. I am very proud to be your daughter and I know your struggle. So please, don't say that again. It hurts me to think that mom thinks she's a shame for me."

Seeing her daughter's eyes go red, Amanda sighed guiltily, and said, "I'm sorry, daughter. I understand my mistake; I'm not going to say that anymore."

Amanda felt an indescribable emotion. Her daughter had always been like that - caring very much for her. And even in poverty she never complained or blamed her for being poor.

- Meanwhile, at Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein in the VIP wing -

In a big bed with white bedding, a man all wrapped up looking like a mummy was lying on the bed. His whole face was scorched, and he had no hair, but oddly enough, he was conscious and his eyes wide open while looking at an elderly man.

"D-Dad..." Tears streamed from the face of the man lying on the bed as he pronounced "dad" and his eyes showed pain and suffering.

The man, despite being elderly, was in good shape. He didn't even have white hair, and there was no sign that his hair was bleached.

"Wretched creature..." Sighing, the man spoke in a heavy tone. Despite finding his son useless, he was still a father and still felt something when he saw his son in that situation. "Speak, how did this happen?"

He suspected it was not a simple gas leak. As dumb as his son may have been, he didn't believe he would be so foolish that he would leave the gas on and not notice, letting it cause an explosion.

"Father, it was like this..." After hearing his son's explanation, the man was perplexed. 'Is he so foolish as to be unable to notice the smell of gas and still throw a remote control on the television and cause a spark?'

How foolish was his son? How weak were his senses? Was he really worth letting live if this was so?

"Leon, I realize it was a mistake to believe that you could do anything useful." Despite feeling sorry for his son, he was not a soft-hearted man and was a very greedy man, and because his son did not get for him what he wanted, he had almost given up on saving his life. "You will be sent back to the island to recover. I will take care of the affairs of that woman and two unrelated grandchildren myself."

"Thank you, dad." Leon knew that only with the powers of his clan could he be saved, and the fact that he managed to get out of a coma in his current state was thanks to his father who had fed him a pill.

Luan received Amanda and Ingrid and let them into the house, leading them to the living room.

"Oh my God?!" Amanda put both hands on her mouth in disbelief. Feeling her legs weaken, she fell, sitting on the floor in the shape of an "M". She didn't know how to control what she was feeling, be it happiness, or sadness, or anguish. "Daughter?!"

"Mommy!" Monica also cried when she saw Amanda and floated up to her, but ended up crossing through her body, unable to hug her.

Ingrid took some time to process what was happening. She looked at this situation without understanding anything, and involuntarily tears fell from her eyes. As much as she hated her sister, she still felt loss when Monica had died. She went over to her mother and hugged her.

"How?" With tears streaming down like a waterfall, Amanda was incredulous as she hugged Ingrid and looked in Luan's direction. She felt that he would be the only one who could explain what was going on.

"Mother-in-law, your daughter was the victim of a person who was involved with the supernatural," Luan said slowly. "I had enmity with this person, but I was weak, and I couldn't have the confidence to beat him. However, recently I had a breakthrough and I became stronger, strong enough to kill him, and then I managed to recover your daughter's soul that was trapped inside a stone of vengeful souls. She suffered a lot, but I erased the memories of when she had suffered and now, she only has the memories of when she was 13 years old. That was the best I could do."

"Is she... Is my daughter Monica always going to be like a ghost, or is there a way to make her human again?" Amanda didn't know very well how to approach this subject, but she still wanted to know what her daughter's situation would be like. Besides, she was worried about the fact that she lost a good part of her memories, but somehow, she was relieved too.

Amanda bit her lower lip, the pain was definitely real. She knew this was not a dream, but she still felt restless.

Maybe it was because she was so unhappy to find out that her daughter had died, so when she saw a ray of hope, she was a little terrified that it was just a dream.

"There is a way, truthfully," Luan said, "That's why I called you, mother-in-law, and also Ingrid here."
