Chapter 14: Medical miracle
Ethan didn’t consider himself a foot fetishist, nor was he the type to get excited at the sight of sheer black stockings.
It was just that he happened to find his aunt wearing them very attractive.
He first realized his special feelings for his aunt at the age of 11.
In a dream, he was sleeping in his aunt’s arms, accidentally touching her black stockings while she continued to sleep soundly.
He was both scared and thrilled.
Realizing it was just a dream, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was an age when even the sight of the McDonald’s logo could excite him.
His aunt had been with him through his most awkward years.
Ethan struggled to open his heavy eyelids, trying to get a clear view of the woman in front of him in the dim room, which made his already blurry vision even more challenging.
His brain was slow to process the information he was receiving.
In the darkness, the wine-red curly hair, the black uniform outlining a graceful figure, and the long legs in black stockings.
“Little... Aunt...”
He could no longer tell if this was reality or a dream, or perhaps a hallucination before death.
But a strange and intense feeling was continuously assaulting his brain.
This experience was indescribable.
Despite his extremely sluggish mind and weakened physical state, his remaining muscles were unusually sensitive.
“Whew...” A figure gently exhaled, maintaining a squatting position, being careful not to press down on the person below, which was extremely exhausting.
Just then.
The hospital room door suddenly opened, a “click” sound, and the room lights turned on.
Scarlett, holding a shopping bag and pressing the switch, saw a familiar figure lying on the hospital bed, wearing a wig, but she recognized it immediately.
“Clang!” The shopping bag fell to the floor.
Blair trembled as the light turned on.
“Strength: 1”
“Stamina: 1+2”
“Agility: 0”
“Skill: Hard as a rock LV1.”
“Dying Wish: Refresh countdown 8 hours, 23 minutes.”
“Complete task, choose one of the additional rewards.”
“1, Receive a random LV1-LV5 skill.”
“2, Receive double points.”
In that instant, Ethan’s previously disconnected brain suddenly became clear again, and he inhaled oxygen once more.
It was like someone waking suddenly from a deep sleep.
The previous haziness and near-death moment vanished.
“Ah?!” Ethan let out a sharp scream, suddenly opening his eyes.
“Ah?!!” A scream even shriller than his came from a young nurse who stumbled backward, her legs giving way as she fell to the ground with a cry of pain.
“What’s the fuss about?” Dr. David turned around, seeing the heart monitor beside the bed start to beat again from a flat line.
Ethan’s eyes were wide open, but he found he still couldn’t move his body.
He noticed the zero in agility on the panel.
Then he looked at the choice of additional rewards.
He wanted to choose a skill, but after hesitating, he thought to himself: “Points, add two points to agility.”
The next second.
Ethan’s lost senses reconnected with his brain.
He sat up from the hospital bed with a “swoosh.”
“Ah?!!” Dr. David screamed in horror, falling to the ground and scrambling backwards with his hands: “He’s come back to life!”
