Chapter 161 - Serious Talk Part 2
Adam had begun to lie and changed the time scales of his story to make it sound more realistic, but his aunt was becoming very emotional and had already begun believing everything that he was saying.
After everything that Adam had experienced because of her absence, she couldn't help but feel guilty. The things he experienced should be endured by anybody, let alone a child, but there was nothing she could do about it but regret not being there.
??Adam needed to distract her with what he experienced and his love for her, so that she would forget about all the other things and no longer be curious, but it wasn't enough.
She believed everything that he told her and was so proud of him.
Adam had not only sacrificed his education to help her but also had been through a lot of struggle, but was still able to turn his life around and help his aunt to live a comfortable life after she woke up.
However, she still felt that there was something missing from his story. So many things that she experienced and had happened around them were unexplainable and she wanted answers.
"Adam I know you have been through a lot and there are still things that you don't want to or can't share with me, even though I am basically your mother. However, I still won't let it rest until I am given the answers to my questions" said his aunt.
She felt like she was being left in the dark and sheltered from the truth by Adam, and although she knew that he was most likely doing so for her own protection, she wanted and needed to know everything that had happened.
"How did I suddenly wake up? The doctors told me that it was a miracle and I would have died on that day or a few days after because of all the damage my body had suffered from being unconscious for so long. Yet I woke up and not only was I completely healed, but I was also healthier and stronger than I have ever been in my entire life" asked his aunt, who had a feeling that Adam had something to do with it.
Everything that Adam was able to do for her was incredible, and she could no longer recognise him as the boy that she raised who relied on her for everything. He had become a capable man that seemed to be able to do anything, and all she wanted was the truth.
"I was told by the nurses that I was going to die, but after you visited me and requested to visit me alone, I was magically healed. How did that happen?" asked his aunt who had tears in her eyes and was still very emotional from everything that Adam had told her.
The talk was very important to her and she was adamant about knowing everything that had happened to her and her son.
[It seems that there is no way around telling her something to do with cultivation] thought Adam to himself regretfully.
He had always tried to avoid her questions, but his aunt had, had enough and Adam needed to give her some answers, otherwise, he knew that she wouldn't let it go.
"I bought a special medicinal treasure from the black market and that was the only way to heal you" stated Adam, giving her the answer that she was looking for.
She already had an idea of it being something like that, but hearing it coming from his mouth made the idea cement in her mind.
"However this is a secret and I didn't want to tell you because it was dangerous. Nobody can know that you used a treasure to recover and nobody can know that I bought the treasure" warned Adam.
If she really wanted to know some of the truth, then Adam had no choice but to tell her. However, it was also the perfect chance to get her to be careful and stay away from anything remotely to do with cultivators.
As long as she heeded his warning, then she would be safe and he would have given her part of what she was looking for.
"Aunt there are a lot of things in this world that people, including myself, do not know. However, sometimes it is best if you don't know. Ignorance is bliss and it would be best if you suppress your curiosity that might get you into danger" said Adam as he hugged his aunt that was still very emotional.
After reassuring her that everything was alright, Adam knew that she needed some time to gather her thoughts and come to terms with everything that Adam told her.
"Aunt I will be leaving for a few hours, then when I return, I need to take another business trip. You should forget about the past and the pain and enjoy your life aunt. I can carry all your burdens. All I want is for you to be happy" informed her Adam as he left her in her room.
Adam didn't want to tell her anything to do with cultivation at all, but thinking about if he was in her position, he would also be very curious just like she was and seek answers.
After telling her about the medicine, Adam knew that he had opened his aunt's mind to the existence of supernatural things, but he was hoping that it was enough to relieve her curiosity.
[My aunt is strong and always has been. She just needs some time to adjust and will be fine. She has been through much worse than this ad hopefully she can see past it and live an ordinary life] thought Adam to himself/
Adam went to Chase and told him to protect his aunt while he was gone and go with her wherever she went. After that, he threw away the blooded set of casual clothes that he had in his inventory and replaced it with another one.
Putting on his leather biker set and heading down to the car park where his motorcycle was, Adam prepared to set off it talk to his master.
