Legacy World 5.21 Their True Wish For Him
When the doctor saw the new guests being ushered into the house by his wife, he quickly finished up his consultation with the current patient he was seeing so that he could attend to them.
"What happened?" The doctor asked while he readied the instruments needed for the removal of the bullet in Eva's shoulder.
"An attack near the harbour. The person got away." Austin said through gritted teeth. "How's she?"
"Don't worry. She's lucky, it's only a flesh wound. A simple procedure is all it needs. It'll hurt though. Would you like to use local anesthesia?"
"Yes." Austin replied in her stead. However, Eva shook her head.
"I listen to the patient." The doctor shrugged then proceeded on to remove the bullet. He did not want to waste time and let the wound fester while they argued about whether to use anesthesia or not.
Austin frowned. "Why did you reject it? It's not like money is an issue for me. Is it not painful?"
Eva shook her head

Around the time when they would normally leave in the afternoon, Austin came out as expected. Having regained his composure, he acted as he normally would and went about business as they normally did.It was only after dinner did Austin do something different. Normally, Austin and Eva would retire to their rooms, while Edwin got busy with other matters in the house. Tonight, Austin stayed in the shower for an unusually long time, deep in thought. When he finally came out, it was to go to Eva's room.Austin knocked on her door and Eva opened it almost without any delay."May I speak to you for awhile?" Austin sounded a little hesitant.Eva nodded then stood aside to let him in.Although Austin said that it would only take a while, they ended up sitting at the table near the window in silence for quite a long time.He gazed out the window, clearly still deep in thought. Now that it was winter, the sky had long been dark. There was

[Eva! Wake up! Eva!] Eva's eyes flew open. She immediately raised her guard and looked around her dark room to check if there was something wrong while BaoBao filled her in. [Someone's breaking into the mansion. He's currently at the front gate.] /Keep me informed./ With the winter cold being the least of her concern right now, Eva merely put on a pants and shirt, equipped herself with her different weapons before heading out of her room. The entire house was enveloped in darkness but Eva made her way around and out of the house without a hitch. [He's heading towards the carriages.] /I can't tell if he's a coward or just stinking slippery./ Ever since they placed a bodyguard or two to watch the carriage, nothing happened to the carriage or the driver again. He had also taken flight so quickly when he first shot at them. He seemed to be avoiding any confrontation. Yet,
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 5.24 A Present For Austin
Time passed and Eva fully recovered from her wounds. However, it was to get poisoned almost immediately. The moment she ingested a mouthful of food, BaoBao warned her that there were signs of poison in her body.Just as she found it weird that she would be the one poisoned when the target was Austin, an idea flashed in her mind. She hastily snatched the utensils from Austin's hand. However, he had already taken two more mouthfuls than her.Later that night, everyone in the household fell sick like Eva expected. They puked so much that they continued to lurch even after there was nothing left to puke out. They itched so badly that they would have scratched their skin off in their delirium if they were not bounded up. Eva was the least affected, followed by the others who were at the table with Eva that night. Since they were only lightly poisoned, their symptoms were more bearable. Unfortunately, the doctor's wife was weaker, so she had to be restrained like the others.
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 5.25 A Christmas Present
"This is for you." Austin gave her a large brown box. Eva stared at the gift in surprise. Then, she quickly took out her notebook and scribbled messily. "I didn't prepare anything for you." "You don't have to. You already gave me something precious on my birthday. This is just something small in return." Austin said with a smile. She sighed lightly, then carefully took the box from Austin. Austin looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to open it, so she did. Inside the box was a pair of brown boots that would reach up to her calves. Just as she reached for it, Austin placed his hand over hers and whispered, "Be careful. There are hidden blades in the soles and here..." He moved his hand to take the boots up for her to inspect more closely. "You can store your smaller weapons." Eva's eyes sparkled. She had considered creating something like this for herself but she had shelved the idea, prioritising ones that would help the bodygua
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 5.26 I'll Love You No Matter What
While everyone was busy cleaning up the aftermath, Austin sat cross-legged on the floor with his arms propped on the bed. He gazed at her sleeping profile sadly. "Why is it always you who's getting hurt...?" He whispered.After a few seconds, Austin's eyes slowly grew wider as an idea surfaced in his mind. /It's always her... It's always her! Everyone else only gets injured when they're with her. The target has never been me!/The moment he arrived at that conclusion, everything else made sense to him and he immediately have a prime suspect in mind. He got up and stormed out to catch the bastard himself. /Damn it! We've wasted a year for nothing! All because I saw things from the wrong perspective! And that bastard dares to act loony to throw off my suspicions... The moment I get my hands on him, I'll tear him to pieces!/When he went out to the garden and saw the familiar uniform of royal guards, he wasted no time in ordering for them to follo
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 5.27 Esmeralda's Wedding
While Eva was still unconscious, Austin had been doing some research into ways that he could help Eva in the event that she really lost her hearing. This was how he found out about a small community that started teaching something called sign language. It took more time for Austin to get someone he could trust from the community to be a live in tutor since they were from a faraway town. In the meantime, Eva pretended to practice lip reading and improved quickly. Eventually, the only difference from the past was that everyone now had to make sure that she was looking at them before they spoke. By the time the tutor arrived, Eva had largely recovered and was well enough to resume her exercises. Her wounds left bad scars all over her body. One of it covered slightly more than half of her face. If she was already unattractive before, it was even worse now. Although she knew that most would deem her as unsightly, Eva did not mind. She never felt attractive before. She even though
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 5.28 The Mysterious Letter
For the rest of the day, Austin became even more clingy and persistently stayed by Eva's side. He also allowed only the most trusted people in the household to be on the second floor of the central wing, which constituted only a handful of people. The next morning arrived together with a letter for Eva which Edwin delivered to her room. Eva and Austin frowned at the pink envelope in her hand. It was not the usual cream coloured one Austin received from Esmeralda. However, he gave it a benefit of the doubt, thinking that Esmeralda may have changed the colour since it was addressed to Eva instead. However, Eva stayed cautious. Why would Esmeralda send a letter to her? She opened the envelope with extreme care. There was no string or trap within it. It was really just a pretty envelope holding a pretty scented paper. However, the writing was dark, harsh, and messy. Anyone could tell that it was written with much anger and hate. "I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU. You
Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember Legacy World 5.29 The Final Exchange
BANG! BANG! BANG! Drey's wide smile stayed on his face as the light in his crazed eyes slowly faded away. His body fell onto the floor like a marionette whose strings got cut. Austin put his gun down, fired the green flare right up above them, then crawled towards Eva very slowly, leaving a trail of blood behind him. Austin had momentarily passed out due to the pain, then was brought back by a different pain. It was like everything that touched his skin carried static. Through the pain, he located Drey and found him fighting with Eva. As much as he wanted to act immediately, he had only one shot left. Drey was the healthiest and fittest there. A slip up from them and Drey would slip away. Worst still, Eva's life would be lost. Austin's patience paid off in the end. Upon reaching Eva's side, he took out the antidote that was in his ring and tried to put it in her mouth. However, Eva kept her mouth shut, and shook her head ever so slightly. He knew that
