The Eternal Family

Chapter 18: Execution of Lilly's plan

Waking up early to a knock on the door, Emma Lust Vincias opened the door to Harry's room with a weary and tired face,

After he fell unconscious, she decided to stay with him in the same room as the doctors treated him, she didn't forget that assassination attempt after all.

Opening the door, she saw Lilly and nodded, she was not in the mood to speak, yet, Lilly didn't move and looked at her with a relieved smile before saying. "Mom, you look tired"

Emma didn't reply instantly as she first looked at Lilly instead. "You don't seem much better"

Lilly's hair was a mess and she had dark eye bags.

Lilly nodded this time. Yep, she should look horrible now, only sleeping for an hour after staying awake for a straight 30 hours.....

Entering the room and looking at Harry, both women frowned with a pained expression, he seemed even thinner than yesterday

He had grown lean muscles after using Pleasure points to strengthen himself previously, but all those were now gone and he just seemed frail and thin

Lilly looked at her mother, her voice slightly hoarse and cold, as she said to her mom "The doctors and healers are useless"

Mom nodded. They were indeed useless.

as silence shrouded the gloomy room,

The open door closed itself automatically and a dull thud resounded in the background

Finally, out of prying eyes, Emma couldn't hold herself back as she asked while crying, her eyes filling with tears "Lilly, did you find any way to help him? you are smart, you should have found a way!"

Lilly couldn't see her crying and she said with a hiccupping tone. "Yes Mom, I found some ways to help him, but only one of them is practical" She too was on the verge of crying, but she held back her tears as she looked at her mom, determined

Until he wakes up, she will never cry, she will be the man of the house until he returns

Finally heaving a sigh of relief, Emma asked.

"Did you come up with someone to heal his soul?" that was the only thing that came to mind

Lilly shook her head before she replied proudly

"Heh! Those idiot doctors, how can my brother have a damaged soul, he is strong mom, I've seen his soul before, it's just as strong and beautiful as him" pausing for a second, realising what she said, she continued without giving Emma any time to process the things she said "In fact, as you know, he is not even a Null, to begin with"

Emma noticed her pause but didn't care for now as she asked, somewhat anxious "I don't care about the nitty details anyway, so just tell me, Lilly, what are the chances he will wake up If we proceeded as you planned?"

Nodding, Lilly replied. "I won't give you 100% assurance, but I say we have above 50% chance at least," she wasn't boasting here, she truly had a chance

Emma forced a smile at the number and asked a final question "Is it dangerous?"

This time, Lilly didn't respond and kept her mouth shut for a second as that dark silence returned to the room

Emma finally asked after a second

"How dangerous are we talking about?"

Lilly replied, somewhat afraid of the silent atmosphere that loomed around them "I don't know how dangerous, but I have this weird feeling that we shouldn't wait, it's better if we do it as soon as possible."

This time, Emma didn't reply for a second as she shivered and Lilly who noticed it asked

"What happened, Mom?"

Taking a deep breath, Emma said " I have that weird feeling too, that if I wait, I'll lose something precious," her mature charming voice was hoarse and weary, filled with tiredness.

The silence returned, but this time, it was broken by Emma's determined calm voice "No matter what, even if it ends up as a failure, I won't allow him to die"....if all else went awry, she still had 'that' to rely on!

but she kept it to herself, and finally moved her gaze away from her son, Her face the very picture of determination, as she asked: "What do we have to do, Lill?"

Lill too took a deep breath before she said, her voice basically pleading "Mom, don't freak out, Be calm throughout and just follow what I order, don't think of me as weird, we have to do this, you have to do this, for him and for us"

Emma finally smiled as she chuckled saying, "Say whatever you want me to do, I will do anything for him"

and she meant what she said...
