129 Layla (2/2)

...….

Right after waking up, Dongmei rubbed her eyes to get rid of the sleepness and looked around at her surroundings. She found herself in her old room and noticed her mother laying next to her on the bed. She couldn't help but call out to her to wake her up, ”Mom…” She knew her brain was still booting up as her thoughts were somewhat clouded.

Guan Mei was quick to wake up, opening her eyes while looking wide awake before saying after she hugged her daughter, ”Good morning Dongmei. How are you feeling?”

Only after hearing the question did Dongmei realise how weak she felt and found troubles to move. She asked confused after checking her body properly, ”How long did I sleep...? I feel so stiff as if I slept for days…”

Her mother continued to smile and rubbed her cheek, assuring her instead of replying to her question, ”It's okay, you will feel better after you eat something and move a bit. How about you drink some water first? Mommy will cook something for you in a moment.”

Even though Dongmei took a gulp of water from the bottle by the bed, she still heard ringing in her mind and reported it to her mother, ”My head is spinning…” She picked the phone to check if she got any messages and her eyes widened after seeing the date.

Glancing back at Guan Mei, she buried her with questions, ”Mom… Why did four days pass? Why don't I remember anything? What is going on? The last thing I remember is falling asleep in the car…” She did not recall waking up in any those last four days.

”Shh… Everything is alright, let mommy explain.” Guan Mei shushed her gently, trying to calm her down before asking, ”You know that mommy has a special ability, right?”

Dongmei knew her mother wouldn't do anything bad to her so she nodded, replying, ”Mhmm, you know when someone lies to you. Just like me but yours is more advanced.”

Guan Mei confirmed as she continued, ”Yes, just like you but also like Wuxing. He has an ability as well and it worked in a similar fashion to mine. You were different.”

”How come? I thought were have similar abilities...” Dongmei followed up with her own question, not getting why they were different.

”My ability and Wuxing's were granted to us by special Spirits but you got mine because I shared my ability with you.” Guan Mei explained but seeing the confusion on Dongmei's face, she smiled and added, ”You don't need to understand it right away. Everything will be clear to you in a moment.”

After analyzing what her mother said, Dongmei suddenly realised something, ”Wait, you said 'were'... Does that mean I am the same as Wuxing now? What changed from before?”

”Now you are a full-pledged Ability User.” Guan Mei replied simply and finding it was the best time to have Layla explain the rest, she called out with the feeling of nostalgia in her voice, ”Layla, how about you introduce yourself to my daughter?”

This made even less sense and Dongmei wanted to question her again when a gentle voice called out to her, filling her mind, 'Hello Dongmei. My name is Layla. I'm glad I can finally meet you.'Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
