20 You Have to Take Responsibility! (1/2)

Looking at unconscious Lina, some color had slowly return to her face. The disappearance of the parasite had allow her core to slow gather the wood elements through the opening Leon had made. It was like a dried-up plant returning to life.

Leon looked at Lynne in thought.

”What is it? What do you want?” Lynne wasn't sure why she was feeling apprehensive. She thought she would be happy at having Leon's attention on her.

”Nothing much. I was just wondering if I could also check your pulse?”

”Oh... is that it?”

”Yeah...”

”Alright.” Lynne gave him her wrist.

”Is my granddaughter sick?” Dwight was concerned. Leon wouldn't ask for no reason.

His worries were unfounded. Leon just wanted to check what the glabella of an awakened person would look like.

As he thought, Lynne also had a core in her glabella. Differently to Lina's, hers was filled with water element.

It seems awakeners will form a core of power when they awaken.

Lina should not have awakened before so the parasite must have formed it for her. Leon wasn't sure if this was a blessing or a disaster.

But at least she would have a true awakening soon when the core gathers enough wood element.

Lynne was different to Lina who was still unconscious. Leon was unaware that Lynne had already advanced to the 2nd step after taking in one of the pills from the first batch of True Awakening Pills, Leon had refined the other day.

She had her perception and more sensitive to energy. When Leon was inspecting her core, she felt like she was stripped naked for Leon to watch.

”Ahhhh! Pervert!” Lynne retreated a few steps back, while hugging herself with her arms.

Dwight was confused. Leon was stunned.

”What's wrong, my precious granddaughter?”

”Grandpa! H-he... he... took advantage of me.” Lynne pointed at Leon with shaking hands.

This time, it was Dwight's turn to be stunned, while Leon wanted to cough up blood at her words.

”Care to explain yourself, young man?” Dwight wasn't sure how his granddaughter was taken advantage, but he was happy to play along.

”How did I take advantage of you?”

Leon didn't know where to laugh or cry.

'Didn't you allow me to inspect you? What is this farce.'

”You have to take responsibility for my granddaughter, young man. Her chastity has been tainted by you. You have to marry her.”

Leon felt like he had been wronged. What kind of nonsense was this? If he had to marry every woman he examined as a doctor, would doctors still be considered a saintly profession?

He had treated all sorts of patients in his past life. There were people's daughters, wives, aunties, granddaughters, niece and grandmothers, even children! He would be cursed to death by men.

'Well played old man!' Leon stared daggers at Dwight.

”What? You don't want to?” Dwight narrowed his eyes before he continued, ”It's not like you are losing out.” He shrugged.

Leon smiled wryly as he checks out Lynne from top to bottom. Indeed, for a normal guy, a beauty like Lynne would be their dream girl.

Lynne didn't quite follow what was happening but hearing the matter of her grandpa wanting to pair her up with Leon again, her heart started racing. She looked at Leon shyly as she waited for his answer with some hope and fear. She didn't understand what she was feeling towards Leon, but she didn't dislike it. Everything had been moving too fast. She didn't expect her little tantrum would go down this direction.

Seeing her hopeful gaze, Leon sighed. He could see the seed of love budding in her. But he wasn't sure what love was himself. He had been through a hedonistic period in his past life before, but he had never fallen in love.

It could be seen as not giving them face if he continues to reject them.

”Indeed, I'm not losing out on anything. I'll accept her since you're so desperate to give your granddaughter to me. But I'm warning you now, there's not emotional foundation between us.” Leon shrugged as he spoke in a joking manner.

He had resigned to his fate. He felt like the old man had planned this trap for him to jump in. No... that wasn't accurate. It should be said that he had dug his own hole to jump in.

If he wasn't curious about what an awaken person's core look like, then he wouldn't have end up in this mess. A classic example of curiosity killed the cat.

”Hahahaha! Excellent! A real joyous occasion.” Dwight laughed joyfully as he walked up and grabbed both his granddaughter's and Leon's hands and joined them together.

”Hahaha, no emotional foundation is fine. It can be cultivated slowly... hahaha!”

”Indeed, it could be cultivated slowly.” Leon feel the softness of Lynne's hand. It was a pleasant feeling holding hands.

Lynne felt her heart racing faster than ever as her face became a little hot from blushing. Her head was facing the ground as she became awfully quiet.

”My granddaughter has her shortcomings, but she is a good girl at heart. You better not bully her.” Dwight warned.
