Chapter 85 - The Difference Between Angeline-David And Hellen-Darius Family

They arrived at a shopping center. The atmosphere is almost the same as the town where Angeline and David used to live. The only difference is that the population in this city is not as crowded as where they were before.

Even so, the items sold here weren't bad. And as if connected by something, both Angeline's and Hellen's eyes were instantly drawn to a place displaying all kinds of street-wear. Angeline and Hellen exchanged glances.

"Are you thinking what I think?"

Angeline nodded enthusiastically, her eyes were so bright it indicated that Angeline also had the same interest with Hellen.

As if the world-renowned brands whose each item they sell will be priced at exorbitant prices is nothing in the eyes of Angeline and Hellen than brands that have more affordable prices and are always competitive like Vans, Hurley, Supreme and its kind.

Both Hellen and Angeline, they both have the status of wives of men who have endless wealth even though they are used by the seventh descendant of their family, they don't seem too interested in expensive brands.

It seemed like Hellen and Angeline would be getting along more quickly than they thought.

As Hellen and Angeline shop until they're satisfied, David slowly opens his eyes. His whole body was limp and seemed completely powerless. It was as if the bones in his body were being removed and stored elsewhere.

David held his forehead in quite a headache. With a strength that was far from recovering, he rolled out his gaze, trying to figure out where he was. But Darius, who happened to walk past the room where David was, whose door was deliberately not closed, stopped his steps. It didn't take long for Darius and David to look at each other.

Darius was the first to smile at David.

Darius smiles so widely that it makes his eyeballs almost completely sink into the drooping lids caused by the lifted cheek muscles.

"You're finally awake, Leon."

The first word Darius says to David in years they haven't seen each other.

Finally, the two brothers who had been separated for a long time now met again.

***

Hellen and Angeline sat on a bench outside a restaurant. They chose a place to eat that provided outdoor facilities so that Hellene could enjoy nicotine sticks, which had become an addictive in her daily life.

Hellen has been smoking since leaving the government organization. As a doctor who works in the field, especially volunteers who go directly to the battlefield, of course Hellen is not allowed, even forbidden to consume anything that can harm the health of herself and the patients she will treat.

However, Darius has quit smoking two years ago, and who knows where he got his inspiration, Darius has become a follower of a healthy life. The man, who is David's older brother and Angeline's brother-in-law, has even adjusted his own diet. On the calendar at home, each date has a different color. If it is green, it is the date where Darius eats only green vegetables. And so consume other nutrients such as protein and calcium also have their own color.

So their family situation is very inversely proportional to David and Angeline's household, where David is a heavy smoker and also an alcoholic, while Angeline is the only one who lives a healthy lifestyle.

Angeline didn't do that solely because of the baby in her womb, it's just that Angeline is not used to consuming things that can damage her health like that.

Angeline once tried her uncle's leftover cigarette when she was in junior high school, Angeline burned the tip of the cigarette that had been turned into an ashtray, and she immediately coughed and at that very second she decided to stay away from the nicotine stick.

And when Angeline was in high school, in her second year, a friend of hers invited Angeline to go to a nightclub. They entered with the access card her friend had, and after drinking a few sips of liquor, red spots appeared all over Angeline's body so that she didn't go to school for the next few days.

An acquaintance of Angeline's aunt who came to see her who was also a medical graduate who had not yet got a job at the hospital for some personal reasons said that Angeline had to stop drinking alcohol in order not to endanger her life.

Looks like Angeline was destined to neither smoke nor consume alcohol. Angeline had drunk several of the drinks David brought, but due to the very low alcohol content, Angeline did not feel any effect. The drink David was bringing at that time was devoted to relaxing the mind, not getting drunk.

And Angeline can also eat some foods that contain rum. Maybe Angeline's body simply couldn't accept large amounts of alcohol.

In conclusion, Angeline and David's household is the opposite of Darius and Hellen.

Hellen exhales the nicotine fumes he inhales from her calming morphine sticks into the air through his respiratory tract. Angeline who saw it still asked the same thing she asked herself every time she saw someone enjoying cigarette smoke. What do they get for damaging their own lungs?

Maybe later Angeline will ask David about it.

"Here is the order, please enjoy."

The waiter delivers Angeline and Hellen's orders. Removing the plates containing the food from the tray he brought to the table where Angeline and Hellen had been painstakingly. Not to forget he also smiled a friendly smile at his customers.

"Oh yeah, I want to add another Iced Lemonade, bring it about thirty minutes from now. And this," Hellen took out a hundred dollar bill from her wallet and gave it to the friendly waiter. "You can save it to buy your girlfriend something nice."

The smile that had seemed forced from the waiter immediately turned into a truly sincere smile. Angeline could even feel the change in his expression because he was too blunt.

"Well, dear customer, I will do it with all my heart. Enjoy the food, if there is something, I will immediately provide it with all my heart too."

Hellen just smiled back.

Angeline smiled too. "Have a nice day." said the waiter to Hellen and Angeline.

Angeline brought her face closer to Hellen and tried to whisper. "Isn't it too much to give a hundred bucks as a tip?"

"Don't worry, that much money will only be used as paper to wipe the sweat for Darius."

So Hellen is a philanthropist. And once again, there was a clear distinction between the David and Angeline families, and Hellen and Darius. Angeline plays a super-frugal wife who is close to the word miser, while Hellen is a super extravagant wife whose context is very generous compared to other generous people.

Never mind, Angeline wouldn't mind that, because what Hellen was using was Darius's money, not David's money.

Even if compared to the wealth owned by David, what Darius had was probably still very far below him.

Now they both enjoy breakfast which is actually too late to be called breakfast deliciously. Hellen continued to present topics of conversation that were completely far from boring, making Angeline easily immerse in the conversation. Their breakfast-that-too-late really feels good because Hellen is very good at finding light conversation topics to accompany them to fill their own stomachs.

However, there are times when Hellen just enjoys the nicotine smoke, until finally Hellen sighs. "All right, I've had enough of this."

Angeline frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Just turn around. From an hour ago, I could tell that they were talking about the lewd things they wanted to do to us. To be precise, three men sitting on the chair over there, number two from the right."

Angeline turned around, as soon as she saw the people Hellen mentioned, Angeline returned to putting on a curious expression. "How do you know? Their place is too far away for you to hear what they are talking about."

Hellen again exhaled cigarette smoke from her respiratory tract. "My years of experience in the middle of the battlefield have given me strange abilities. One of them is that I can tell what people are talking about just from looking at the movements of their lips. Because I have treated several patients who have lost their vocal cords due to being cut by sharp objects, as well as holes from the shot of a bullet. There are also those who lose their vocal cords after inhaling too much cannon-shrapnel through their mouths, so they can only move their lips to speak to me.

Angeline nodded slowly and turned back to glance at the three men. Angeline chose not to pay attention to them and took a sip of the orange juice in front of her. "Don't worry, they don't bother us directly anyway."

"Maybe it is for you, but for me, I really don't like people like them."

"Then, what are you gonna do?"

Hellen smiled, "Sit and watch." she said to Angeline and immediately stood up.

Hellen walked over to them and unbuttoned her top two jeans shirt and walked along with a rather seductive stride. Hellen blinked at them and walked straight towards the toilet. One of them got up and walked after her.

A few moments later, Hellen came out of the bathroom and invited Angeline to leave the place. On the way, Angeline is really curious about what Hellen just did to the man who followed her to the toilet earlier.

"Actually, what did you do to that man?"

"Nothing. I just made his 'junior' unusable for a few months later, so he could stop being lewd at every woman he saw for a while."

Angeline rounded her eyes perfectly. Seeing Hellen's terrifying smile made Angeline not dare to speak the opinion that was stuck in her mind.

Hellen really is scary.

For some reason, Angeline felt sorry for the man.
