Chapter 39 - What's Happening To Her

Right after he was done with his training, Jason went to the stream to take a bath before going home but on getting home, he saw Hannah waiting outside the tent.

"What are you doing outside at this time of the night" asked Jason as he walked up to her.

"Where have you been all this while, I have gone out searching for you" replied  Hannah with a frown.

"Why would you be searching for me, tell me did something happen?" asked Jason.

"Its mother, she started spitting out a mouthful of blood not quite long after taking the pill you gave her earlier" rep Hannah in tears.

Jason didn't bother to hear what else she had to say before he rushed inside the tent only to see his mother still sitting on the ground weakly with her close. Looking at the pool of blood before him, Jason couldn't help but ask the bracelet for some answers.

"Didn't you say the pill could only cure her so what is happening to my mother".

"Relax kid, nothing is going to happen to your mother okay" replied the bracelet.

"Don't tell me to relax when my mother's life is in danger" said Jason.

"Don't you believe the words I say anymore" asked the bracelet.

Hearing the assuring word of the bracelet, Jason decided to calm down before asking the bracelet.

"So do you have any idea what is wrong with the pill that she took and why it is different from the one I took?" asked Jason.

"Nothing is wrong with the pill alright, what your mother is spitting out is nothing more than the bad blood in her body. Can you feel the slight sign of spiritual energy within her" reply the bracelet.

Now looking at his mother closely, Jason could slightly feel the energy within her which he didn't take notice of when he ran into the room earlier.

"The pill really works, I can't wait to see the look in Hannah's eyes when she sees this" said Jason with a smile on his face.

"You know that pill won't be enough to heal her completely right" asked the bracelet.

"Yes I do but this is a great step since she won't have to be in much pain unlike before" reply Jason as he continues to watch his mother.

After watching her for a while and seeing that she won't be opening her eyes anytime soon, Jason came out of the tent when he saw Hannah looking down.

"You don't have to worry Hannah, mother is going to be alright" said Jason with a smile on his face.

Hannah wiped her eyes while she sober before turning to look at Jason as she asked.

"You think so too".

Nodding his head with a smile really put Hannah at ease as they sat down while waiting for their mother to recover. After waiting for an hour, Clara's voice could be heard coming from the tent as they both went inside with joy only to see their mother sitting on a chair but unlike before when she would need support from others to sit down.

Now Jason could feel the spiritual energy inside her which makes him wonder if she was a cultivator before she was injured.

Seeing the look on Jason's face, Clara could tell what he was thinking since he can feel her energy, unlike Hannah who has not started cultivating.

"My meridian was damaged during the time our territory was invaded. Though the pill you gave me was able to heal some of the injuries I sustained during that time, my meridian has not completely healed" said Clara with a smile on her face.

"What you were once a cultivator and you still don't want me to cultivate, that is so unfair mother" ask Hannah.

"Is not that I don't want you to train but you see Hannah the road of a cultivator is filled with nothing more than danger and I don't want that for you" replied Clara with a sigh.

"Enough with all that Hannah, can't you see that mother Just recover" said Jason with a frown as he turned to Hannah.

All Hannah could do was keep silent and went to clean the floor before making supper which they ate in joy before calling it a day. Early in the morning, Jason was already ready to go to work since he had already been told what he needed for the creation of the pill that could heal his mother completely. 

Cleaning himself up, he made his way to the alchemy room only to see that the grand elder was not there yet and since he is now a worker in the place, he opened the door and went inside before he began to clean the place.

After he was done with the cleaning and the grand elder was nowhere to be found, Jason decided to take a look at the place while he waited for the grand elder. While taking a look at the place, Andrew and Denise came with a smile on their face as they take a look at the place to see if the grand elder was around but after confirming that he is not inside, they yelled which startled Jason as he turn to see who it was that could not lower his voice.

"What are you two doing here yelling like a pig?" said Jason in annoyance after seeing that it was his bullies.

"Who are you calling a pig you low life" replied Andrew in anger.

"If you are not a pig, you would have kept your voice down while you are here but no how could you when you only know how to disturb" said Jason with a smile on his face.

"I can see that you have not learned your lesson yet. Not too worry, I promise to lecture you today before leaving this place" replied Denise with a cunning smile on his face.

"Here they go again making rackets when they can't even touch my head" said Jason with a sigh as he turned his back and walked off.
