Zosia: Quick Transmigration System-Chapter 64 - 62- ARC 2

The door to the hospital ward creaked open. She expected it to be Lysel and Mirabel, but only Lysel came in.

"Where is Mirabel?" She asked, her heart thumping against her chest in unease.

" She was distracting Me. Kael, she should be here anytime soon."

"Okay." Ariana answered but it didn't abate the sense of unease she felt. Lysel's answer only increased it.

Feeling antsy, she was about to walk out of the room, when the patient on the bed opened her eyes.

Keira tried to get used to the influx of light she hadn't seen in years. She was finally awake.

"So Kael fulfilled his promise to save me." She thought, feeling fluffy in her heart.

"You are awake." Ariana's cold and icy voice, doused whatever enthusiasm and happiness she was feeling.

Keira turned towards the source of the voice, feeling unhappy that the person she wanted to see the most wasn't here, she replied;

"Oh, you are here." Her voice lacked any source of enthusiasm and even seemed like she was talking to a stranger.

Lysel halted in his tracks, unsure if to go meet his unfeeling mom. He was dissatisfied with how she spoke, after all, if it weren't for her, Kael would not be head hunting him or his daughter.

And, if

it wasn't for Mirabel, she wouldn't even be awake.

"Mom, do you remember me?" Lysel pressed down his dissatisfaction and asked.

"Maybe, it was because she had just woken up, once she hears what has been going on, she would understand." He thought, a smile appeared on his face as he walked towards her.

Keira glanced at the person approaching her and was taken aback.

"Are you — Lysel?"

"Yes mum, it's good that you are awake." Lysel smiled brightly.

Keira glanced at the son of hers who had transformed from the lanky stick she knew of to such a hulking body.

She vieled the disdain she had in her eyes but Ariana still noticed it.

It was the way Keira always looked at her, believing that she had masked how she felt.

Lysel unsure of if to hug his mother who was looking at him strangely could only smile brightly. "Mum, your son is now strong... Strong enough to protect you."

Keira veiled disdain oozed out for a moment, before she hid it back again.

Lysel, with his chicken brain, did not see it.

"Protect me?" She said with a derisive chuckle.

Lysel thought she was chuckling cause she was happy, smiled and nodded his head.

"Fool!" Keira thought, her gaze moving to the so-called called sister of hers.

"Where is Kael? Don't tell me you stopped him from coming to see me?" The mockery in her tone wasn't concealed in the slightest bit, that even Lysel with a chicken brain understood.

"Mom, you didn't even ask for dad. You are asking about another man? You didn't even ask how I have been all these years, all you did was chuckle and look away. Have I become unsighty in your eyes, too?"

"Well, at least you have some awareness." She remarked.

"Keira, that is your son. How—"

"Son? I could have another one with Kael."

Ariana felt her already shattered heart break again. She had thought her sister was unaware of Kael's love for her and it was just Kael illusion, but she got smacked in the face with the truth.

"Had she always been an outsider?" She asked herself.

Blinking her eyes to stop her tears from falling, she smiled and said, " I don't know where you got the illusion from, but you can't give birth again."

Lysel was still wrapped in shock at his mother statement. He couldn't believe that the person he yearned for, day and night. Didn't even think about him as her son.

He felt his world shattering. Tears streamed from his eyes as he looked at her.

"Do... You really not love me? What about Dad huh? Is it Mr. Kael that you like so much?" He snapped, his voice rising by several octaves as they boomed in the hospital ward.

Keira's expression remained cold and unyielding, her eyes fixed on Lysel with a hint of disdain. "Love you? You were just a tool for me to get what I wanted, Lysel. A means to an end. And as for your father...he was just a stepping stone."

Lysel's face crumbled, tears streaming down his face as he felt his world shattering. He had always thought his mother loved him despite some disperencies, he thought it was how she loved, but, now he realized he was nothing more than a pawn in her game and the same thing with his father.

Ariana's heart went out to Lysel, seeing the pain and hurt in his eyes. She knew what it was like to be rejected and unloved, and she couldn't bear to see Lysel go through the same thing.

"Keira, how can you be so cruel?" Ariana asked, her voice firm but laced with coldness and some sadness, "Lysel is your son, your flesh and blood. How can you not love him?"

"And for God's sake, you just woke up and you are already—"

Keira snorted, rolling her eyes. "Already what? Already what Ariana.... Already breaking your heart. You are just as weak and pathetic as always." She says, dropping her facade.

"Ha! Weak and pathetic? More like you are the one who is weak and pathetic!" Lysel said with a growl.

He knew how much sacrifice Ariana and Mirabel had put in for him. Despite him having crazy thoughts about Ariana, those were just thoughts, he wasn't planning on acting on them.

He has a sense of priority.

"You are the worst person I have ever seen." Lysel continued, if it was before, he would be cowering,unable to refute or say his mind.

"Dad spent every bit of penny on making the drug you asked him to do and he did it diligently for Five good years without a proper rest. He hated himself for any roadblock he encountered in making that drug and one of them being money.

It was still because of you, that Dad was fired from his job as a research and scientist and now can only send the last but if money he could have used to feed and cloth me on something that was still taken by the organization who never planned on waking you up in the first place."

Keira looked at him in disdain, "I didn't need him or the organization to wake me up, Kael did."

Pah!

Ariana couldn't take it anymore. She moved her hand, sending a reality check slap across her sister's face.

"How did you think Kael did it, huh?" She did not allow Keira who was still stunned in silence to regain her bearings and grabbed her hair. If not for the apparatus that beeped, reminding her that Keira was still a patient, she was ready to drag Kiera from the hair or even topple her and beat the senseless hell out of her.

Keira's expression twisted in disgust and hatred as she stared at Ariana, "Jealousy would always make you ugly." She spat.

"Jealousy? Yes, I was once jealous but now I am not. For your information, Lysel planned to send my precious daughter to that Organization. Unlike you who do not like your offspring, I do and I very much love her to my bones."

"Even your own son, was to be traded to the organization to try and treat you. If not for my daughter finding a cure for you... You would very much still be in Coma and maybe a few minutes away from death's door."

"And you think I would believe your claims? Just give it up Ariana and for that slap, I would get back to you for it." Keira slapped away Ariana's hold on her hair.

"Ungrateful bitch, like—" her words were cut short for the third time in a few minutes by Lysel screaming.

"Aunt....." His tone trembled, filled with guilt and hatred. Guilt directed towards himself and hatred towards Kiera his mother, Kael and the Organization.

"What is it?" Ariana asked, blinking her eyelashes. The unease came back with full force, she left Keira that she planned to teach a lesson and immediately took out her phone that was buzzing.

"They took Mirabel. Kael handed Mirabel over to them." Lysel felt that his world had completely crumbled as he uttered those words. He couldn't even deny it as the evidence was in his phone.

The file, pictures everything was sent to him my an unknown source which was tagged as Mirabel. It even told him to rush and check on his dad.

"My dad, he... He....." He couldn't even complete his words as Ariana left the ward with a rush.

He also quickly followed behind her, leaving behind Keira. He didn't even care if she ends up being taken by the organization.

Infact, that was his wish. For her to be taken and for Mirabel to be returned, but despite how clutsy or dumb he was, he understood one thing.

Once something loses it's value, it would neither be looked at or considered for the second time.

If Keira's value hadn't been to get Mirabel or him, she would have long since been dead with no one even being aware of it.

Ariana felt like she was going crazy. Her daughter, her precious daughter was in the hands of that organization.

Opening her car door, she immediately switched on the ignition. She was about to speed off when the front door was opened.

Looking at Lysel beside her, she suppressed the silver of hatred that had started bubbling up from her chest.

Stepping on the gas pedal, she connected her phone to the car panel.

She drove towards Kael's house, she felt that the transaction had occured there, but if it was there, then the person occupying Mirabel's body, would have had a better way to deal with them.

"Go to Crescent area." Lysel spoke.

She turned towards him to shun him but his words immediately promoted her to drive towards that place.

"The abadoned area was reported for several gun sounds, grenades and sound of car accident and about half of the place had an explosion.

Ariana swerved the car and immediately sped to the place.

By the time she arrived, the place had been codorned off by the police and special forces.

" My daughter... My daughter.... Let me pass." Ariana shouted as she broke free from the officers hand.

" Ma, no female dead body has been found. If we find it, we will get back to you. Please leave." A high ranking officer said.

Ariana looked at the badge and understood it was a type of hidden force of the country. The person was neither a police officer nor special forces.

"I want to see it first."

"Ma, we understand your pain. Especially having your daughter being sold to such evil organization by her father and all that, but we can't let you in, till we are done with our investigation. Please understand me. Your husband is also being chased, maybe you can help us find him."

Ariana gulped. She was unwilling and so was Lysel.

Lysel placed his hands on Ariana shoulder. He had glanced around and understood that their only way of getting an answer is from Kael.

Ariana also understood that. "Fine." She turned and left.

After seeing the scene, she checked the time. ƒreewebɳovel.com

"She is gone. My daughter would now be all alone." She thought inwardly, her hatred increasing in folds.

She hated herself for her inability to save her daughter, hated Kael, her sister and even her son. She didn't know what kind of emotion to attribute to the person in her daughter's body.

"Why did she let Mirabel get captured, why? Why couldn't she save her before she leaves like she had done for others."
