Chapter 7: "How long will you hold my hand for?"
Shaking his head, he said. "It's not your fault, Mom. Everything is because I was foolish and acted rashly. But I'm fine now, see." New novel chapters are published on
Luis wiped the tears from her eyes, then he continued. "I don't know how it happened, but when I woke up, I found myself inside our apartment in Droverk Towers."
Luis didn't say the part where the previous Luis died and he (Ethan) took over.
"The wounds on my body were very painful. At that moment, my Lightning attribute activated and covered my entire body. At first, I was shocked, but then I noticed that my wounds were healing rapidly. But my mind was way past the exhaustion point, so I went unconscious and woke up today." Luis said all that in one breath. He saw their expressions and, as expected, they were stunned speechless.
"... Lightning attribute has healing ability?" Ronald asked after a long pause. Because this was the first time he heard something like this.
Lumine was the same, looking at her son with bright eyes.
"I don't know," Luis said with a shrug. It was the truth. After all, even in previous Luis' memories, he never heard of something like that. At first, he wanted to hide it, but decided against it. It doesn't matter. He can tell this to his parents. If he can't trust his loving parents, he might as well die in this cruel world.
Ronald had a thoughtful look on his face. After some time, he nodded, thinking of something as if he made up his mind.
"Luis, you go rest first and we will talk in an hour. I have something to prepare." With those words, Ronald turned to Lumine and said in a soft voice, "Prepare something for him to eat first. He must be hungry."
"Un" Lumine nodded and pulled Luis' hand toward his room. She ordered a maid to bring Luis food to his bedroom before taking him towards his bedroom.
As soon as they left his sight, Ronald's eyes turned extremely cold. He clenched his fist tightly, holding his anger. He closed his eyes to take a deep breath and calm himself down.
"Jack." His voice was cold without emotions.
Luis now knew in the game when the Suarez family was mentioned, Luis was long dead. Because in a certain back story, there was a mention of the son of Ronald Suarez and Lumine Desmond, who went missing and was never found again. It was a mystery what happened to him. But now he knows.
While he was still in his thoughts, he was already in front of his bedroom door. With her other hand, Lumine pushed open the door and walked inside, pulling his hand.
She walked to his massive king-sized bed and let him sit there while she sat beside him, still holding his hand.
"Um, Mom,"
"What is it, honey?" Lumine asked softly. Wondering if Luis is feeling uncomfortable somewhere. "Don't worry, I've called the doctor. He will be arriving soon."
"You called a doctor?" Luis was stunned. Because he already mentioned that he was fine. There's no need for a doctor.
As if she read his mind, she said. "Even if you are fine, it's not a bad idea to get yourself checked."
Resigning to her words and nodding his head, he answered her first question with a question. "How long are you going to hold my hand?"
"Until the doctor comes."
"I see."
"..."
There was silence in the room as Luis didn't know what to say at this moment. He knew previously Luis used to talk with her a lot, so this silence was abnormal. But what can he do? He was still awkwardly adjusting to Luis' life.
