Chapter 5: Can I call you mom? (1/2)

Inside the two floors roofed house,

Mike was lying on the bed. It has been half an hour. His bones were healed by the medicines and now he was taking ice massage on his shoulder to relieve pain. After all, he still got exercises to do.

”Mike, I am coming in.” Suddenly, a sweet voice rang in his room, followed by a figure. This figure was his aunt. She had a beautiful face, but there were few wrinkles under her eyes. Although she looked slender and slim, her face was enough to say she was above thirty.

It was true indeed. She was thirty-eight but she still wears the skirt that reaches the length to her knees. While she wearing a normal t-shirt, her dressing style clearly didn't match with her falling hair. Her black hair was falling up to half of her back. And her name was Elizabeth Tyson.

And it was from her, that Mike inherited this surname. Originally, his surname was Darin. So, when he made his citizenship card, he changed his name. After all, the property is finished, there is no meaning to keep that name.

”Aunt, sorry for troubling you!” Mike felt a little anxious when he was in front of his aunt. He felt guilty for making her sad and anxious on such a happy occasion.

”How could it be troublesome? And it is a happy occasion about your awakening.” She shook her head while holding a plate in her hand. She closed the door and walked near Mike's bed. She showed him the food on the plate and said ”Look! I made your favorite chicken pasta.”

Seeing the chicken pasta on the plate, his anxious expression turned delighted. A big smile appeared on his face, as he greedily took the plate from her hand, after keeping the ice pack at the bed. He picked up a piece of chicken and put swallowed it. Feeling the hot but extremely crispy chicken, he let out another delightful expression, and slowly chewed the food, while still keeping the same expression.

To feel the taste, he even had his eyes closed. Only after he finished his first bite, he opened his eyes and spoke while giving his aunt a thumbs up ”It is delicious as always. Thank you, aunt!” But before he could say anything, he had grabbed the next chicken.

”Alright, eat slowly!” Elizabeth shook her head with a helpless smile, looking at his expression. She walked to his side and picked up the ice bag. Then, she started doing the same thing that Mike was doing, relieving his pain.

”Aunt, you don't have to do it. I am just fine already.” Mike felt uncomfortable making her work, so he couldn't help but ask her to stop.

”Alright, you just shut up and eat.” Making a motherly position, she scolded him and kept massaging his shoulder with an ice bag. After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke ”Do you know, they left you because you had Dark Energy Resistance Body?”

”But I knew you would awaken. Your spirit and Will were too strong from the very start. And so, it was only a matter of time. But this doesn't you have anything to prove. Just focus on getting stronger, and don't prove anything to anyone. As long as you are happy, that's all it matters.

”Ummm!” His voice was very soft at this moment, and he seems crying.

While saying so, she buried Mike's head on her stomach. After a moment, when she pushed his head back. She found her t-shirt was completely wet due to tears. When his tears didn't fall, he looked up at his aunt's face and asked with red eyes ”Aunt, I had something that I always wanted to ask you.”

”Can I call you mom from now on?”

”Yes” This time, tears didn't fall from her eyes. And she nodded her head with a bright smile. Then, she looked at her wet t-shirt and said ”I'll be back in a few moments.”
