Chapter 129 129. Do You Feel Honoured?
In the ward was a pin-drop silence, Everyone was rooted in their place as if they were under a freeze spell.
Alia looked at her mother with a complicated look, On one hand, she was feeling that surge of emotions again making her excited about seeing her mother and Alex together.
But then there was anger, hate and lots of negative emotions. It's one thing she wants to see together and it's totally another when she tries to steal Alex from her.
He is hers, If he will marry then he will only going to marry her alone, No one else, not even her mother, This is her bottom line that one can cross.
This is a matter of her love, Yes she loves him. Her love might be weird and strange to others but for her, it was as pure as the heart of a child.
She can share a bed with another woman with Alex but not him, So if her mother dares steal her from herself then, She will be the first one to oppose knowing it will be futile.
But she will not give him up until there is breath in this flesh and bones.
Grace was also in a similar situation, But unlike her, she can indeed share him with others but others also wanted to do the same, Which Helen did not.
She had no idea why or how a woman as old as Helen even dared to announce this with a straight face. Did she not even think about her daughter even once?
Did she not even think about what society will say? Grace did not care about society as it had given her nothing but pain all her life but Helen was held high by that same society, At least she should show some gratitude towards it.
'How to stop this?'
Grace's heart was beating faster, Darkness enveloped her as multiple thoughts were running through her mind trying to find a way to prevent this from happening.
But she can't come up with any as the background and power of Helen hold were too much for her pity plans, Once again she felt helpless she felt those early days in college.
A heart where only her Alex had a place now was also consumed by the fear, A fear of losing him forever.
She was desperate. She was like a headless chicken trying to figure everything out, Find a door or at least a window for it to stop but she couldn't, All doors and windows were shut in front of her face.
There was a lot of light in the room but only darkness was in front of her eyes. After all, what she had for is not just love but an obsession, A deep devotion that was being cruelly snatched away from her.
Alex, on the other hand, had a calm face. He looked around in search of something. Soon he found it as he left these two women alone and went there and came back with that water jug in his hand back to this place.
After that, he chugged it down as he might be thirsty and then he
"*Pffft*What did you say?!!!!"
He sprayed that water from his mouth as he with his comically dramatic expression looked at Helen and questioned.
Well, he too was not calm at all. He had thought and prepared for everything that he thought possible but never in his wildest dream he thought of this event taking place.
How can a cold-blooded woman, Who legitimately wiped out hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the battlefield with a straight face, say this thing?
This number is so big that now it was not even a casualty but just statistics on paper, This is a woman even cold unvarying Alia was afraid of.
So it was reasonable to think that she rather try to force him, abduct him or even put him on house arrest than to fucking announce him as her husband.
'System what the fuck you did do to her, She was acting weird.'
So as the nature of humans which is not like to admit when they are wrong, Alex pushed the blame on the system, Anyway it was the last thing that interacted with Helen so it is a prime suspect.
[...]
The system was speechless, How can anytime something happens, It is labelled as a culprit by its host? It's not fair, it wants justice, It is innocent.
'Humm, I take your silence as an acknowledgement of your crime, Who made me this forgiven, You are forgiven, System.'
Alex felt good after blaming the poor system and started running his hamster in his mind to find a way to avoid marrying Helen, As he did not want to be a stepdad or others said dad who stepped up but he wanted to be a daddy.
[...]
The system once again said nothing as it now got used to its host shenanigans, Anyway, as long as he did not get himself killed, System had no problem with Alex.
"I announce you as my husband from this moment, Do you feel honoured?"
Helen looked at everyone's faces as she consciously avoided looking at her daughter but the hateful stare on her body indicated her daughter's current emotional state.
But she had to do this, She was doing this just to save him, Her daughter will understand it later.
After all, In her eyes, Alex had no background but had too much potential but no strength to protect him.
She knew in this world weakness is the origin of sin. If you had potential but no strength to protect it then that boon will become the worst curse you can receive.
There are a lot of rising stars. In this hundred billion people in this world, of course, there will be more people with genius potential.
But did they reach their potential? No, Most of them fall mid-way through their journey, and not for the natural cause but because of greed.
Human's always attracted to what others have. This is the nature of the human mind and the birthplace of greed.
So people with the intention, Shut off people who either create inconvenience to them or want what they had and so the hut of younglings began.
Though now due to that greed, Very few geniuses were born and even got protection from the country which is still not enough to suppress others' greed.
Not when there is not only SS-Rank superpower but also legendary physiques, Even those hidden S-Ranks would come out to get their hands on his power.
It's very hard to get one power but not impossible, So even if they knew the quality would decrease by forceful extraction, They would still do it, As the SS-Rank superpower is still way better than their current superpower.
So she had to do this. If Alex is her husband no one dares to even think of his idea as she is not only in the seven known S-Rank of the country but also 2nd only to the monster women in strength.
There is no other way or at least she thinks that as she herself is also a human with her selfishness.
If there is a proper reason for them to get what she wanted, Then why does she not use it to get what her heart desires? It will also not make her worse of a mother than it normally would but label her as the one who sacrificed for her daughter.
This is hitting two birds with one stone, So Helen decided to do it.
"Honoured?? No, I am scared of it, Mother-In-Law. If my sister knows this she will go on a rampage, And I can't even imagine what my mother would do, So stop joking."
Anyway, what is there to do between us as what wife and husband should do? We already did it and that too multiple times, My waist is still sore from that, You should take responsibility for it."
Alex already figured out why Helen did what she did. After it was not that hard to guess, It was just that he had to make a mental note to himself.
Women who crossed unhealthy obsession levels of favorability behave differently in front of him, So he from now on will not make a plan based on their personality from the novel.
He needs some time to get used to and learn the new behaviour of these heroines but now he was worried that if Helen did not change her decision, Then Amara would really go on a rampage.
"N-No, Mine."
Alex is here thinking about how to complete the task without revealing much, While Helen was thinking about how two new family members popped up of his as in her investigation, He is alone.
Alia and Grace were not in a condition to think of anything else, All her minds were trying to figure out how to stop this but no solution was coming out of it.
And in this desperate time, A white figure stands in front of Alex like a tigress protecting a calf.
Well, technically it was a calf protecting its master as it was Xiao Bai who appeared and hugged Alex's side arms looking at Helen with wary eyes.
*Thump*
Just as Xiao Bai appeared, Helen felt palpation in her heart. An insinuation arose as it warned her about this new member.
Her hand was shaking as she was stared at by Xiao Bai. She felt this overwhelming feeling once in her life by that monster of a woman.
And now here there is the 2nd person who has given her the same feeling.
"S-Rank."
Helen couldn't help but mutter these words as she shockingly looked at Xiao Bai.
