Chapter 6: Arion Elsar (2/2)

After all, in this life, she was the one who took care of him for most of his life and gave him a better life compared to the initial rough times he had in the orphanage during the time he was a small kid.

He lowered his head and said in a low voice, ”I am sorry, Sister Mei. I just wanted some fresh air and accidentally fell off my wheelchair, hitting my wrist on the ground.”

Mei gave a light knock on his forehead and said, ”Silly. I am not angry at you. I was just worried. You always give me a heart attack whenever you wander off. What if something...haa...forget it. Let's go home, and I will treat your arm. Fortunately, it doesn't seem that bad.”

Mei was about to grab the handle of his wheelchair when Arion held her wrist and said, ”Wait, Sister Mei. There is an injured boy near the stream. I was about to look for you to help him.”

Arion pointed towards the boy, and as Mei followed the direction he was pointing to, she was surprised to see a bloodied figure lying on the ground near the stream.

”How did he end up here?” She mumbled as she walked over to the boy to get a closer look. As she got close to the boy, her brows knit together and then asked Arion, ”Ari, are you sure you want to save him?”

”Huh?” Arion felt puzzled by her sudden question and nodded, ”Yeah, why not. I was already in the middle of helping him. So, I might as well follow through with it. I don't like to leave anything in the middle of it.”

Mei smiled and crouched to examine the boy, ”Hmm, his body is strong, so he won't die. He should slowly recover after I treat him.”

Arion smiled, ”I know, Sister Mei is the best Healifier in the world.”

Mei let out a soft chuckle as she lifted the boy and carried him in her arms. She then asked Arion as they walked towards their home, ”Ari, why do you seem a bit out of it? Did something happen?”

Arion became flustered, but he quickly hid it and said in a surprised tone, ”Really? Maybe it's a part of growing up?”

Arion felt complicated since he didn't know who he really was, whether he was Evan or Arion in mind and soul.

It was quite an inexplicable situation for him and surreal. So, he couldn't help but come out with a simple excuse that he could think of on the spot.

But only after he spoke, he realized that, he overthought her question.

Mei nodded and said in an understanding tone, ”Ah, I see. You are at the age where you are finally growing up into a man. The age when boys usually become more introspective, is it so?”

Arion pursed his lips, ”Sister Mei, I am already a man.” Arion, for some reason, didn't want Mei to look at him as a kid, so he felt a bit sour about it.

Mei let out a melodious laugh and said, ”Haha, sure you are. Now you seem like your usual self.”

She then continued in a serious tone as she looked at the bloodied boy on her arms, ”Still, I wonder where he came from. Why don't you explain what happened?”

Arion told her the details right from the beginning. But it only made Mei even more baffled about the whole incident.

”Shocking, right? I mean, how could he survive such a fall? I don't know from where he started falling, but when I looked up, he was at least thirty meters above the ground. And even falling from such a height would usually kill someone as young as him,” Arion said with a hint of awe in his voice.

”Not really, if he is a Defier,” Mei said with a certain glint in her eyes.

A/N :- I see some saying how confusing this chapter is but honestly there is nothing much to be confused about. The MC had his body destroyed in his previous life and the wheelchair boy clearly muttered his previous life name 'Evan' and even accepted his new identity, thereby clearly showing us that he is the MC. No need to overcomplicate things by thinking about the bloodied guy who fell from the sky. That's another story to tell.
