Chapter 589: Chapter 589: Make Her Shiver All Over
“The same principle applies now.” Adrian Zhekova quickly turned his head and glanced at Cindy Clarke.
“But isn’t it true that only those who have awakened the Family Head’s ability can become the Family Head?” Cindy was a little puzzled, “And in each generation, only one person can awaken this ability.”
Cindy said this and then suddenly stopped.
After a pause, she said, “Or are you saying that if ...”
Cindy was frightened by her own speculation.
She took a deep breath before continuing, “If the person with the Family Head’s ability... no... is no longer here.”
Anyway, she couldn’t bring herself to say the word “dead.”
Because those who possessed the Family Head’s ability – the Old Master, Maverick Zhekova, and Adrian Zhekova – were all dear to her.
Even if it was just an analysis, even if there was no specific reference, even if it was just a hypothetical, and even if it was about a non-existent person.
She didn’t want to use that word on them.
She knew that if she spoke this hypothesis, it would inevitably lead to a sense of identification.
She didn’t want them to be associated with that word.
“So, in the same generation, will there be a new person who reawakens the Family Head’s ability?” Cindy asked.
This possibility sent chills down her spine.
“That won’t happen,” Adrian replied.
Hearing this, Cindy breathed a sigh of relief.
Adrian continued, “The Family Head’s ability can only awaken in one person per generation, and only once.”
“If someone has awakened the Family Head’s ability, regardless of whether they are alive or dead, no one else will have the chance to awaken it. Even if they are no longer in this world. Once the Family Head’s ability has been awakened and has appeared, there won’t be a second person to awaken it in that generation.”
“This is the value of the Family Head’s ability. It’s not about how powerful the ability itself is,” Adrian explained.
“The Zhekova family is not in such dire straits; it’s just that some people have some disturbances.” Adrian meant to let Cindy not be too nervous.
“I say this only to let you know what to expect. The Elders think you’ve just come into contact with the Zhekova family, and exposing you to so much all at once might not allow you to adapt fully.”
“It’s better to let things take their natural course. As we grow closer, you will gradually come into contact with more information, and you will naturally learn about it.” Adrian said.
“I’m just giving you a heads-up.”
Cindy shrank her neck: “Now that you’ve mentioned it, I’m even more nervous.”
Adrian stretched out his hand and rubbed Cindy’s head: “What are you nervous about? Have you encountered any danger since being with me?”
“Of course not,” Cindy replied.
“So, our life won’t change,” Adrian said.
As long as he was there, those nasty things would be blocked by him.
He would try hard to keep her life unchanged.
“But I’m not afraid either,” Cindy said.
Adrian couldn’t help but look at her.
Cindy was very serious: “I know what you’re thinking.”
“Oh? You’re saying that makes me think you have the ability to sense people’s thoughts,” Adrian laughed.
“Of course, I don’t.” Cindy couldn’t help but laugh, “But I know you.”
“You must want to help me block all the bad things, even the dangerous ones, and keep them away from me. You want to use yourself as a barrier to protect me from harm.”
“Yet, all the harm is directed towards you now.” Cindy looked at Adrian’s side profile, her heart suddenly aching.
His side profile was very good-looking. Others always said he had a dog-like personality, but at this moment, Cindy felt that he was carrying too much weight on his shoulders.
“This isn’t right, and it’s not fair,” Cindy said, “You’re helping me resolve all my difficulties, blocking the things in my family, and also blocking the dangers coming from the Zhekova family and elsewhere.”
“You are taking on everything by yourself, which is too heavy.”
