Chapter 97 Alice and Adam

“Hey James, can you come over to my house? I have something that I need your help with.” Brian sat on the couch while drinking coffee as he talked with James on a video call.

“Alright! But, it will take a while. I am currently busy with something else.” James nodded his head and cut off the call leaving Brian stunned.

‘Did he get a girlfriend or something?’

‘Anyway, I should go back to the lab and start working on it.’

Ding Dong!

Suddenly, the bell rang. A virtual screen appeared in front of him and he saw a girl standing in front of the gate.

“What?”

Suddenly, he screamed out loud with shock and surprise all over his face. On the screen, there was a girl whom he had known for a while. She was standing while holding a suitcase in her hand.

“Brian, what happened?” Charlotte dashed out of her room as she asked. Lena also rushed out of her room. They were surprised by his scream. Then, they noticed a screen panel in front of them.

Seeing a picture of a girl on the screen, they looked at him with confusion.

“Who is she?”

Brian closed his mouth and lowered his head.

“Lily, let her in!”

He deeply sighed and sat back on his couch, covering his face with his hand. Charlotte and Lena looked at him. After a while, the girl opened the door and walked in.

When she saw Brian sitting on the couch, she dropped the suitcase and dashed toward him. She jumped and opened her arms wide.

“Dad!”

Shouting out loud, she embraced him while falling over his body. Brian paused as he couldn’t even open his mouth to say anything. On other hand, Charlotte and Lena tilted their heads in confusion.

‘What the hell? Who is she? Why is she calling him dad? Did he?’

Brian noticed their expression and shouted, “I didn’t do anything to other women, okay?”

“Anyway Alexa, I told you I am not your dad. You can call me whatever you want but not a dad. You still have a real dad.”

“Humph! He destroyed what he created but you created something new from what he destroyed. Parents are the creator of their children. So, you are my dad.” The girl was called Alexa. She pouted as she sat on his stomach and folded her arms.

Suddenly, a hand pressed Brian’s shoulder as a deadly voice rang from behind.

“So, hubby, would you like to explain it to me?”

Brian suddenly trembled. He raised his head and saw the dark and gloomy Charlotte. Alexa noticed his reaction and immediately caught Charlotte’s hand.

“You must be my new mom, right? Although I saw your picture on the internet, you look even more beautiful in real life. Nice to meet you! My name is Alice. I was resurrected to life by him and from that moment onward, I swore to be his daughter.”

“It took me two years to properly take control of my body. And, I promise I won’t blow up this house.”

Charlotte blushed when she was praised by Alexa but she also got a lot more curious. She looked at Brian and asked, “So, what’s her deal?”

“Let me explain this to you. My name is Alice Tyler. I am eighteen years old. I was originally a vampire but because a certain man wanted to awaken the full potential of my bloodline without even strengthening my body, I ended up reaching the state of death.”

“Although I was healing, my inner organs, almost my whole body was destroyed. I thought I would die, but Dad saved me. He replaced my destroyed body with nanotechnology that allowed me to form a body made out of the machine.”

“I am now more of a Cyborg than a vampire. He gave me a new life. That’s why I swore to myself that I will be his daughter from that moment on. But I still had a hard time controlling my body and he was weak. So, I stayed away until I could finally control my body.”

Charlotte didn’t know how to respond. Although she could see the smile on Alice’s face as she explain, death wasn’t something to laugh at.

“Well, you did tell me that one day you will come and find me but you have to remember that I am not your dad and your dad is still alive.” Brian sighed as he patted Alexa’s head and spoke.

“No! He is not my dad. A father doesn’t kill their children. He is a murderer. He is a cruel monster.” Alexa screamed at me as tears fell down her cheeks.

“Haaa!” Brian heavily sighed and slowly stood up. He looked at Charlotte and said “Well since Alexa will be living with us, you should get familiar with each other. I will go out for fresh air.”

Charlotte nodded her head as she went to sit on the couch while Lena stared at Brian. She noticed a figure standing outside and sighed.

Brian walked out and closed the door. He turned his head and behind him, there was a man whose face was covered in tears. Brian raised his hand and touched that man’s shoulder.

“She is right. I am just a monster. I truly don’t deserve her.” The man spoke as he walked away with Brian.

“Adam, you were the one who made me feel that not all vampires are cruel monsters. You made a mistake. Everyone does. Things have changed. Give her some time. She will slowly understand.” Brian shook his head and replied.

Adam remained silent and shook his head “No! I don’t think she will ever change her mind. Not only did I take away her mother, but I almost killed her. If you weren’t there, she would be dead.”

He raised his hand and covered his face as tears fell down his cheeks.

“I don’t mind if she hates me. I just want her to be happy. She has been working hard on controlling her body for two years just to live with you. Please, take care of her!”

Brian looked at the man next to him and sighed. The man wasn’t ordinary. He was a King Rank. He was almost as strong as the strongest werewolf Lycan.

But right now, he was just an ordinary father who lost the love of his daughter. A father who is hated by his daughter.

Brian clenched his fist. He never wants to be like him. He took a deep breath and suddenly hugged Adam.

“Don’t worry, I will take care of her. And, someday, I promise I will find a cure for her. Once her mother returns, she will slowly return to you.”

Adam shook his head and said “No! She is happy with you, Brian. I had never noticed it before but she was never happy with me. But, with you, I believe she will be very happy.”

“That cure isn’t easy to find and even if you find it, it would be impossible to create it with your level of technology. I have found another way to heal her. I am going to leave earth as well. So, I want you to promise me one thing.”

Suddenly, he moved away from Brian’s embrace and looked straight into Brian’s eyes.

“I want you to promise me that you will take care of Alexa. I know she is not your biological daughter but please, please love her as if she is.”

He slowly got to his knees and put his head on the ground.

“Please take care of her! I know you can do that.”

Brian clenched his fist seeing him like this. This is the reason why his hatred toward vampires fell down. The man in front of him was a King, the ruler of hundreds of thousands of vampires.

But, he was kneeling in front of a weak human without even a single hesitation. Yes, he almost killed his daughter but he learned a great lesson from that.

He understood that power, prestige, resources, nothing comes even close to the worth that your family holds. He understood this a hard way.

Brian crouched down and patted his back.

“I promise you. I will take care of her and I will treat her just like I treat Ely. Come on, don’t do this! You said we are friends. Friends don’t kneel to each other.”

“Friends? You are the one who called me a friend. I was a father who was in debt that he could never repay. You were the one who cleared that debt. Today, I am not kneeling to you as a friend. I am kneeling to you as a father.”

Brian sighed and stood up.

“Alright! Alright but stand up or else I will show this to your daughter.”

“What? Don’t do that!” Adam immediately stood up with an embarrassed expression.

?(O)??? Brian smiled and raised his fist. Both of them bumped their fists together as Brian spoke “Goodbye friend! Let’s meet again soon.”

Adam smiled and he flew away. At this moment, drops of tears fell on Brian’s cheeks. He touched the tears and muttered.

“The regret that was in my heart for being a friend with a vampire has finally vanished. It feels like I am finally free of all hatred.”
