Chapter 164: Coming To Terms With Everything

Adam's talk with his master had gone just like Adam had hoped.

Their conversation was brief, he gained the permission that he needed and also got across to his master that he was willing to help him, which was something that he really wanted to do.

Adam drove back as fast as the speed limit allowed him to and when he made it back to his apartment building, planned to check in on his aunt before calling Angela to head off to Staten Island.

"Aunt I'm back" called out Adam as he entered his apartment.

Adam had parked his motorcycle in the building car park, and wanted to quickly check on his aunt before leaving with Angela, knowing that he would need as much time as possible to complete his task.

He was hoping that in the 2 hours he was gone, his aunt had called down and was no longer curious about things that had to do with cultivation, but he didn't know what to expect from his aunt who had spent almost 3 years in a coma.

While Adam was gone, Chase stayed in Adam's room and was playing a shooting game on the computer, while Adam's aunt stayed in her room and sat on her bed deep in thought.

There were so many things that Jannet had been bombarded with ever since she had awoken from her coma and after Adam had given her some of the answers that she was looking for, she needed to digest the information.

The tears in her eyes weren't because she was in pain or because she was upset, but was mostly because she was overwhelmed by so many things at once. Adam had been through a lot for her and was still trying his best to please her, so she didn't want to put any more pressure on him and knew that she had no reason to be upset. 

It was clear to her that Adam was trying his best to protect her, support her and make sure that she was happy, so she had nothing else to worry about. 

With the existence of supernatural things, she couldn't help but be interested and curious about it, but after Adam's serious warning, she decided to forget about it and live an ordinary life, just like Adam hoped she would.

It took her a while, but after she came to terms with everything, she felt as though a weight had been lifted off her chest and as though she had nothing to worry about.

As long as she and Adam were happy and healthy, she had nothing to complain about.

"Adam, I made you something to eat before you left" called out his aunt after hearing that Adam had arrived.

After thinking about it, she was quite sure that it was Adam that killed the hospital director. But weirdly, she felt proud of him for doing so after reading that the hospital director had artificially caused patients to stay in comas to gain money from the constant and monthly hospital fee payments.

She also felt as though she had no reason to be angry towards the hospital director and Adam had already avenged her, and despite knowing that Adam wasn't normal anymore, he still treated her respectfully and in the way that any mother would want their child to treat them.

She had also only seen Adam help people with his supernatural capabilities, and assumed that the reason that he stayed behind at the restaurant, was to help the women that were with the triad members.

The triad members were clearly forcing the women to be there and would probably have been harassed if it wasn't for Adam dealing with them.

Thinking about the fail boy that he raised killing somebody was very weird, but Jannet had come to terms with it and was ready to move on.

From her voice and what she said, Adam could assume that his aunt had calmed down and seemed to have acquired everything to be had told her. 

"I coming aunt" replied Adam with a smile as he went into his room and got Chase.

The three of them had a nice meal that Adam's aunt had prepared, and the hungry Adam and Chase, who had enormous appetites, ate portions that were large enough to feed entire families.

Chase and Adam's aunt were getting on surprisingly well, and Jannet was more comfortable around him, which was what Adam wanted. 

"Here is a couple thousand dollars that should be enough for the next month, if there are any complications. If there aren't, I should be back in around three days" stated Adam as he placed a small stack of money on the table.

"Adam, before you go, I have something I want to say," said his aunt just as Adam was about to leave. 

"I have realised there are a lot of things that I don't know and don't understand, but I will heed your warning and forget about it, so that I can live an ordinary life. However, even if you know about and are involved in these things, you must promise me to be careful" stated his aunt.

Many things had become apparent to her, and she even had many reasons to believe that Chase wasn't normal and Adam probably sent him to protect her, but she didn't want to know the details anymore. 

She realised that she was too caught up in herself and her curiosity, that she forgot about her son and his safety. Jannet had decided against confronting Adam about the death of the hospital director, and although she knew it was selfish, as long as he was safe, she was happy and didn't care much about what he did.

"I can't promise you that I will be careful, but I can promise you that I won't die no matter what" stated Adam.

Hearing his reply, Adam's aunt sighed as Adam laughed at the way she reacted. 

With that, everything was sorted out and all that was left was for Adam to set off with Angela.
