Chapter 76: Healing Aunt

Adam's heart slumped.

[Am I too late] he thought to himself as he began regretting all the times he had delayed his aunt's recovery in order to increase his strength and potential.

Without thinking too much about it, he ended the call with Cole and dashed towards his apartment.

He made sure not to use his full speed, that was supernatural in comparison to an ordinary person, however, he still ran at speeds that were above average as he waltzed into his building, past the security and rushed into his apartment.

Quickly, Adam entered his apartment and rinsed his body to remove the stench of sweat and blood, then threw his clothing in the trash and wore a random set of casual clothing.

He wore plain grey jogging bottoms, a white t-shirt, that highlighted his muscles and toned body, and plain black trainers.

[System spend 200 system points on a B Rank Mortal Recovery Pill and transfer it to reality] ordered Adam frantically.

{Ding, the host has spent 400 system points and the B Rank Mortal Recovery Pill has been transferred into reality} announced the system as Adam felt a small spherical object appear within his hand.

Adam didn't have time to ponder on how the system worked and without wasting any time, hoping that he could still save his aunt, Adam rushed towards the hospital that was close to the building he was living in.

He held onto the pill in his hand tightly and was praying that his aunt would make it.

He had so many things he wanted to show and do with his aunt and he wanted her to live in luxury and be proud of what he was able to achieve.

If she died, what was the point of becoming stronger and wealthier, if he had nobody to protect and or care for.

He dashed into the hospital, and the young receptionist, that had previously passed his note onto Sarah, was there.

"Can you tell me where my aunt is staying right now?" asked Adam urgently.

"Right now your aunt is in urgent care room 26 and it seems her state has worsened" informed him the receptionist.

As soon as he heard the room she was in, he rushed towards it without hesitation as he followed the signs in the hospital to find it.

Rushing into the room, he saw his aunt laying on a bed with all kinds of tubes and medical equipment sustaining and regulating her body, that was collapsing.

[The 2 and a half years of being in a vegetative state must be taking its toll on her and it seems as though her body can't take it for much longer] observed Adam worriedly.

Within the room were two nurses and Cole who had a worried expression.

"Can you all leave please" stated Adam to the nurses and Cole.

"Okay, but if anything happens please call us" accepted the nurses as they left the room.

"Adam I am sorry, but it doesn't look like she will make it past a few days. Take your time and if you need anything, please ask me, okay" said Cole to Adam supportively as he left Adam alone in the room with his aunt.

[If I am able to heal her now with the B Rank Mortal Recovery Pill, I will draw a lot of unwanted attention to myself. It will be too much of a miracle for the doctors to ignore, but at the same time I can't let her die] thought Adam to himself weighing his options.

He had no choice but to heal her and act as though it was a miracle and he had nothing to do with it.

Walking towards his aunt he kissed her forehead and removed the mask from her mouth, that was providing her oxygen, and placed the small brown pill in her mouth.

Before doing so he searched the room and made sure there were no cameras or recording devices, that could prove that he was the one that helped her recover, as he didn't want rich and powerful people to come after him for the medication, or cultivation families to try and get rid of him to remove any threats to their power and influence.

Adam focused closely and with his high Intelligence stat, that was on par with a rank 2 Novice Cultivator, Adam could sense the surge of energy within his aunt's boy.

However the energy also contained vitality and what Adam could also sense was a small amount of black substance with the energy and vitality, that was absorbed into her body and began circling around her body, while recovering her collapsing organs.

[Those must be the impurities in the pills that the system spoke about, and too many low graded pills would have detrimental effects on the body] observed Adam with a hopeful expression as he saw his aunt's face beginning to look healthier.

Within minutes, her body had completely absorbed the energy and vitality, that was very much needed, and she had instantly almost made a full recovery.

Adam wasn't sure how exactly he was able to observe the state of his aunt's body, but what he did observe was that her body was drained of vitality and energy after being in a coma for such a long time, but he couldn't find the cause of it.

She had supposedly entered the coma because of stress and exhaustion, that she was going through, but that wouldn't keep her in a coma for over 2 years.

Adam saw that there was something that the energy and vitality of the pill extinguished within her system, in order for her to suddenly awaken, and he couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to her coma than exhaustion.

She opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Adam's calm face and red eyes, that had an intimidating and alluring effect at the same time.

With his charisma that was 5 points, instead of the average of 3, Adam looked quite handsome, however, his red eyes that were calm and had a hint of killing intent that was insuppressible, had an intimidating face to look at.

"Adam is that you" she uttered as she stared at the young man's face.
