Chapter 23: Sadness and Grief?

Remembering the past, Alicia's eyes began to moisten, and without even knowing herself, two streams of tears started to leak from her beautiful black eyes.

May, sitting next to Alicia naturally releasing the murderous aura, noticed Alicia crying from the corner of her eyes. She panicked a little, thinking that she, without knowing herself, released her murderous aura and scared little Alicia, resulting in her crying silently.

As she quickly retracted her aura, she said with a little worry on her face, "

Little Ailica I am sorry for making you cry. Please don't cry."

Alicia comes out of her thoughts when she listens to her aunt's worried voice. Listening to her say to her to stop crying, she feels a little bewildered and touches her face with her hand, feeling the wetness.

She thinks to herself, 'I had cried without knowing myself, remembering about Mom and Aiden.' Seeing her aunt's worried face, she quickly wiped the tears from her face and said to her aunt, "It's not what you think, Aunt. I am not crying because of you. I just remembered our happy time with Mom and Aiden."

May listening to her niece felt a little relieved that she didn't make her little niece cry, as she wouldn't feel good knowing that, and she said with her usual cold voice without any emotion on her face, "Don't worry, Little Aiden would definitely wake up soon," after saying that she looked in the direction of her sister's body, and sadness could be seen in her cold red eyes.

Alicia, seeing her line of sight, sees where she is looking moves her hand holds her aunt's hands, and says, "Aunt, don't be sad. I also feel very sad knowing Mom left me and it would affect me for a long time, but we had to live our lives without Mom, and we would live happily like a family with you, Aiden, and me, if Mother was there, she would not be happy seeing us like that."

Listening to her niece's words, May felt calm and thought to herself, 'I would have to do my best to protect my family and live happily with them' while a swirl in her deep red eyes could be seen as she patted her niece's hand and said with an emotionless face, "Oh, our little Alicia had become mature, even comforting her aunt."

Alicia listening to her words felt proud, but she also felt that her aunt, even with her emotionless face, was making a little fun of her to lighten the mood, it could not escape her eyes, but she could tell her words were genuine and she didn't mind it, and she finds it cute that her beautiful aunts attempt to make fun of her.

Ten hours had passed, and they had finally reached Alicia's home during the journey.

There had been no problems, but Alicia was thinking about her aunt's words about someone behind the plane crash, and she felt very angry, it was the first time in her life she felt so angry and even thought about killing the one who was responsible for taking her mom's life and all the innocent lives that were lost during the terrible incident.

But deep inside she knew she didn't have the courage to kill anyone with her hands, but she was not worried about the punishment for the one responsible for the incident, as she knew her aunt would definitely not let the culprit get away with doing something so horrible. She was not sure how her aunt would do it, but she completely trusted her.

Coming out of the military helicopter from a distance, they can see her house once again. Alicia felt a little relieved seeing her home once again, and May ordered the officers to move her nephew and sister inside the house. As they reached inside the house, the house was big enough to easily accommodate all the people.

They put Alice's body in a room with a cold temperature and Adien in a big room.

It was already night outside; sunset had already happened, and the time was 8 p.m. During the travel, they had some packed food, but it was not enough and couldn't compare to a delicious hot meal, they had no time to cook as May ordered a lot of food for them, including the six military officers that came with them, as it was refreshing to have a nice meal instead of packed military food.

Alicia, on the other hand, was worried about Aiden as they had to hold her mother's funeral quickly and not let her body stay outside in a freezer as it would be disrespectful to her.

Anyone in her family doesn't believed in any religion, but it still didn't sit well with her to leave her body without giving her a proper funeral quickly, and she hoped his brother would wake up before the funeral as the doctor had said he should be awake with his conditions.

She had decided to wait one more day; if he still didn't wake up, they would hold the funeral without him, and knowing her mature brother, she knew her brother's personality; he would definitely be understanding of her decision to hold the funeral without him and would not resent her.

Coming out of her thoughts, she heard the doorbell of the house ringing, and she thought, How can someone come into the house as it was covered in a wall within more than a kilometer of the area as it was owned by them? As she listened to her aunt's voice ordering some soldiers to pick up the food at the door.

Alicia thinks her aunt would have ordered the food, and some guard must have brought it to the house after checking the food and thinking of food; she herself felt very hungry as she didn't like the food on the military helicopter even a little and didn't eat much on the plane.

A person like herself who likes eating very much didn't want to eat that bland, packed food without any flavors ever again, and her standards for food were high without knowing herself as she regularly eats his brother's and mother's delicious cooking at home.

May took some food for herself and Alicia; she ordered the soldier to eat it here as they both left for the dining room to enjoy their food in peace and quiet. Finally, after eating, May said to Alicia with her usual cold voice with a hint of softness in her voice, "Little Alicia, when are we going to hold your mother's funeral?"

Alicia, listening to the question, requested her aunt to wait for one day; if Aiden didn't wake up tomorrow, then they would hold the funeral the next day and only invite the people that their mom was close to.

"Aunt and also if Aiden didn't really wake up, we would admit him to our hospital that was two kilometers away from here, as it had a better environment, and in case of emergency, it would be much safer," Alica said to Aunt May in a firm voice.

May, listening to her logical thinking, quickly agreed with her, as she had also thought of admitting Aiden to their own hospital, as it would be much safer. Alicia decided to go to sleep early today.

She was feeling exhausted both physically and mentally from all the traveling she had done yesterday, and meeting her mom made her exhausted mentally, and she only wanted to sleep peacefully, hoping she didn't get any nightmares.

Seeing Alicia left, she didn't go to sleep and contacted the forensic team to inquire about the incident site, she found they would be done in half an hour, and after that, they would contact the local authorities about the plane crash; as for the results, it would take some time.

May listening to them told them to send the results as soon as possible, ending the call. She felt her body was feeling a little stiff, so she decided to do more training outside before ordering the medical team to keep an eye on his nephew in shifts so they could not tire themselves out.

The four members of the medical team had traveled for almost a day with the infamous demon, and they found her pretty normal other than her unusually cold emotional face and the scary murderous aura that she felt during the travel on the plane.

But they dared not be deceived by her beautiful and harmless appearance and didn't dare to be a little complacent, as they knew the only reason they felt less pressure in her presence than they had imagined was that the beautiful young lady who looked very beautiful and innocent had been traveling with them called the general by name 'aunt', and they thanked the young lady in their hearts for being there.

But dared to talk to her as she was related to her, knowing how the general would react, they didn't want to find out about it and happily did their job and didn't even look at her more than necessary as they liked their peaceful life with an intact body.

The following day, Aiden didn't wake up, and they decided to hold the funeral without him but still keep his unconscious body during the funeral close to the grave. Even if he is not conscious, Alicia wants him to be present at her mom's funeral.

During the funeral, less than twenty people were there; some of them were the nurses who her mom had helped, some were doctors and researchers, and many influential figures and her personal assistant, all these people who had good relationships with her mother, and lastly, the medical team who was keeping an eye on Aiden's conditions.

During the funeral, she cried a lot in her aunt's arms, and even her cold and emotionless aunt cried with her emotion without making any sound.

The entire atmosphere in her garden was of sadness and grief as every single person attending her mother's funeral was crying, some even shouting and blaming the god for being unfair and taking a kind and helping person like her away from the world.

Mostly the same thing was on everyone's mind during the funeral: 'Humanity had lost a great person,' and some nurses even pleaded to exchange theirs for hers as this life was given to them by the person in the grave.

But no one gave any answer to their pleading, and only silence and sadness were left in the air.
