Chapter 278: A Sharp Turn in the Plot (3)

"You can't expect a chaotic creature with a brain full of mush to have any accurate understanding of the human body during transcoding. If it weren't for the embryo born from that monster, she might have manifested with six legs or something…"

Bruce carefully observed the girl's face and noticed that aside from her teeth, her eyes were similar to his, blue in color, but with vertical pupils, just like the original parallax monster.

Bruce took another deep breath, feeling a jolt to his worldview.

But as Schiller said, now that they were in this situation, they needed to think of a solution. He asked, "If she lives in human society, what do we do about her sharp teeth?"

"They're natural, but she's too young for correction. Wouldn't it be difficult to find a morally upright dentist and have them provide a diagnosis of dental deformity?"

"Alright, what about her eyes?"

"Heterochromia, find a morally upright ophthalmologist…"

"Alright, I understand," Bruce interrupted Schiller's next words. He looked at the girl and besides the shock to his worldview, he felt a strange sensation.

When people see a child who looks almost identical to themselves, the innate desire to protect their offspring surges within their human genes, and Bruce was no exception.

"Try to see it positively. Even if she may create many new problems for you in the future, at least for now, she can solve an urgent issue for you, which is the state of mind of your butler, Alfred."

"You've mentioned before how Alfred's emotional state has been affected by his excessive concern for your well-being. We have discussed how to redirect his emotions, and evidently, an illegitimate daughter without a mother might be a good choice…"

"Even if I adopt her, she will still be my daughter."

"Alright, no problem, an adopted daughter who shares about 80% of your appearance."

Bruce pursed his lips; at least regarding the matter of appearance, there was no way to wash away the resemblance.

Bruce recalled Alfred's overly excited state earlier that morning and realized that continuing in this manner was not a viable solution.

With a "try everything" mentality, Bruce decided to bring the little girl home.

When Alfred saw this girl who looked almost identical to Bruce, the butler dropped the plate in his hand.

Just as Bruce was preparing a whole set of arguments to persuade Alfred, Alfred suddenly snatched the little girl from his hands and said, "Have you sorted out the legal issues? Sir, if there's difficulty in fighting for custody, I think we can..."

"Wait, Alfred, this isn't..."

"I understand, I understand, sir. A passionate youthful affair, an accident, a heartbroken mother, an innocent illegitimate daughter..."

"But it doesn't matter, we can simply give this wonderful mother some money and claim she's your late ex-wife, so the child won't suffer any damage to her reputation..."

"I..." Bruce was choked up. Clearly, in just a few seconds, Alfred had pieced together the whole story and even prepared for the aftermath.

"What's her name?" Alfred looked into Bruce's eyes.

Bruce saw a long-lost glimmer of hope and anticipation in his eyes. He remained silent for a while, but ultimately didn't speak the truth. In a low voice, he said, "Aisha... Her name is Aisha."

"Aisha, that's a good name..." Alfred's Adam's apple bobbed. Bruce noticed his eyes turning red. Alfred lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Sir... oh, no... it's Master, I never expected you would be willing to bring Miss back. I thought you..."

Bruce took a deep breath, and in that moment, he saw Alfred age significantly, his once upright posture now slightly hunched. Bruce also lowered his head.

"Ahhhh!!"

Aisha, in Alfred's arms, suddenly let out a cry. The old butler looked down at Aisha's teeth and exclaimed, "Oh my goodness! Why are Miss's teeth slightly deformed? Ah, right, she's too young for dental correction, but it's okay. In a few years, we can take her to see a dentist..."

Meanwhile, Alfred also noticed Aisha's extraordinary eyes. He said, "Is this heterochromia? Did she inherit it from her mother? What a poor child..."

Bruce's explanation remained unspoken as Alfred played with Aisha. With some confusion, Alfred said, "She should be almost four years old, right? Why isn't she speaking yet? And her expressions seem a bit..."

"Could it be autism in children? We should address this issue as soon as possible. I'll check the phone book to see if there's a reliable child psychiatrist..."

"I know a good doctor..." Bruce's tone sounded strained as he said to Alfred, "That would be my university psychology professor, Schiller Rodriguez..."

"Really? That's great. Let's invite this professor to the house someday. Oh! I think tomorrow would be a good day. Let me make a phone call and schedule an appointment. It's not the professor's do-not-disturb time now, right?"

Bruce shook his head mechanically and said, "No."

Alfred placed Aisha back in Bruce's arms and said, "Master, in a parent-child relationship, companionship is crucial, especially since the young lady might have autism. Parents need more patience to guide her. I believe you will do well..."

Bruce looked down at Aisha, who gave him a horrifying smile with her sharp teeth. Bruce sighed, closed his eyes, and said, "...I'll do my best."

An hour later, Bruce held the phone and spoke into the receiver, "Selena! Come over! I need your help. Hurry up..."

Half an hour later, Selena stared at the little girl who resembled Bruce by eighty percent. Her eyes widened, and then she walked up to Bruce and slapped him, angrily turning away.

Bruce grabbed her arm and said, "Selena, things aren't what you think. Let me explain..."

Half an hour later, Selena crossed her arms, skeptically looking at Bruce, and said, "Bruce, if I didn't know you and know that you wouldn't come up with such an imaginative story for an illegitimate daughter, I would've slapped you again and told you to go write fantasy novels..."

Suddenly, Selena wore a peculiar expression on her face and said, "So, does that mean she's your offspring?"

After saying that, she glanced down at Bruce's abdomen, and a teasing smile appeared on Selena's face.

Bruce turned his head to look at Aisha, feeling helpless, and said, "Now is not the time to discuss her origin. I never thought that dealing with a child would be like this..."

Selena sensed the deep sense of powerlessness in his tone but spoke in a cheerful manner, "I heard from Maggie that children are the most adorable things in the world. Marrying the person you love and having children is Maggie's lifelong goal. I

Her hair fell down, covering her eyes, making her look like a crazy woman who goes out without combing her hair.

In just this half an hour, the young couple, who were still children themselves, fully experienced why human infants are considered the most terrifying creatures.

Firstly, Aisha can't speak. Her way of expressing all emotions is through loud screams.

You can't even call it crying because she doesn't shed tears at all. She emits various screams with different frequencies. Maybe it's because she's not purely human, but the piercing power of her screams is downright terrifying. Even if Bruce takes her to a separate room, Selena can still hear her screams from several rooms away.

Secondly, Aisha puts everything within her line of sight into her mouth. It seems that her way of identifying objects in the world is to taste them by putting them in her mouth.

And because she's not purely human, her biting force is astonishing. In simple terms, she bites anyone she can catch, and once she bites down, she won't let go.

Her sharp teeth make her even more formidable. With one snap, she can bite off a large chunk of a wooden bedpost. If she didn't have some sense to know not to bite people, Bruce and Selena would probably be in the hospital by now.

The most troublesome thing is that this girl, born from a chaotic creature, seems completely unable to understand human language. Bruce even suspects she doesn't know English at all. Aisha completely ignores everything Bruce says, and it seems she does whatever she wants. Aisha goes wherever she pleases.

And once Bruce tries to stop her, she starts screaming incessantly. When he lets her go, she immediately finds the nearest object within her line of sight and takes a bite. Then Bruce and Selena have to panic and pat her back to make her spit out the debris from her mouth.

Bruce is still under twenty years old, as is Selena. Both of them are still children themselves, so one can only imagine how chaotic their lives will become when they have to take care of another child.

Clearly, this life of chaos and commotion has only just begun.

t shouldn't be that difficult, right?"

Half an hour later, Selena and Bruce sat on the edge of the bed, sighing. Selena's once-gentle flowing hair had turned into a tangled mess, and Bruce's hair stood up on his forehead.

Meanwhile, Aisha continued to bite the bedpost with her sharp teeth, refusing to let go. Bruce grabbed her arm and said, "Come down quickly, release your grip. Why on earth are you biting it?"

Selena brushed her hair back with her hand, then looked at the row of bite marks on her arm, and said, "Why didn't you just tell me she's your pet dog in disguise..."
