Chapter 205: Why Are You Here?
The Incubus System Chapter 205. Why Are You Here?
"Good Morning, Ethan." Olivia's voice broke my thoughts.
I turned to the origin of the voice and saw Olivia and Emma walking toward me. Rather than a word like Olivia, Emma greeted me with a smile. My hand put my cup on the table.
"Morning," I greeted them.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting," said Emma as they took the seats across from me.
"It's fine. This was my sudden idea anyway," I said with a smile.
"Do you want to grab some coffee? I will pay," I added.
"No, thank you," said Olivia. Then she turned to Emma, asking for her answer indirectly.
"I think I'll pass," said Emma.
"Fine."
"So ... Why do you want to meet me? Did something happen?" Olivia started our conversation.
"Nothing important. I just woke up too early today and have nothing to do at home. So I'm thinking of meeting you," I said with a sweet smile. Actually, I wanted to make sure Olivia was okay and give my support to her, considering her family problem.
But Olivia narrowed her eyes in disbelief.
"Are you sure? You seem so lost in thought earlier."
"I was thinking about something," I admitted.
"Tell me what is it?" Olivia asked curiously. While from Emma's expression, I guessed she already knew what I was thinking.
Since I couldn't say I was investigating her father and his affair so I decided to say something else.
"My mom." Even though it wasn't something urgent than the crack problem and Myra's crazy plan, it was also one of the things that bothered me especially after I got the letter.
"I want to know where she is now," I said with a grim face.
"Do you miss her?" guessed Olivia in worry.
"No. I just want to ask a couple of questions to her or rather --- throwing my anger after what she did to me and Celia." My disappointment sounded clear in the tone of my voice.
Hearing my words, Emma, who had been quiet, spoke.
"Ethan, about that. I've got your request."

An email ringtone came from my bag. I took out my cellphone and read it. Apart from a map accompanied by an address, a description was also there. The information contained her acquaintance's presume if Mrs Clea might have used Voice Changer when she called me.
'That explains everything,' I thought. Previously, I was confused about how she could imitate my mother's voice every time I called her.
"Thank you for your help."
"Don't mention it," replied Emma.
"Are you going to face her? I mean, are you going to meet your mother?" asked Olivia curiously.
"I have to. After what she did to me ... I can't just let her go."
"What is your plan?" asked Emma.
"I want her to take the responsibility. She already has a better family, yet she's still taking what should be mine and Celia. All I need to do is find her location."
Olivia frowned again.
"Didn't Emma give you her location?" she said in confusion.
"That's not her location, Olivia," said Emma.
Olivia turned to her.
"If it is not her, whose is it?" she asked in the same confusion.
"An acquaintance of mine. She was the one who was helping me secretly. While my real mom had gone somewhere," I said.
Olivia returned her gaze to me.
"Why does she want to help you?"
"She is my dad's ex-lover. If my dad didn't die I might have called her mom now."
"So your dad's ex-lover has helped your family. While your mom dumped you and your sister?" clarified Olivia.
"Yeah."
After hearing my brief explanation, Olivia sighed again.
"I'm sorry to hear it. Some parents just don't deserve to be parents."
As those words left her mouth, another voice came from my side.
"Hello, Ethan."
I turned around to that familiar yet unfamiliar voice direction. A woman figure was standing by my side. Emma and Olivia looked at her in foreign since they were sure she was neither a student nor a lecturer here. While I frowned since I thought she didn't dare to show up in this college after Diamond kicked her out yesterday. Moreover Diamond didn't want to accept interviews at this college anymore. I also didn't know where she got my name from, but I guessed she got it from other students around here. Besides, that was her speciality. But different from yesterday, today she came alone.
"Hello, Miss Elenna. Why are you here?" I asked.
