Chapter 1370 - Healed, Yet...

Davis returned to the bedroom where Lia Alstreim remained sleeping over the head-frame, defenseless. A smile lit up his face before he saw a chair nearby and simply sat on it, waiting for some time to pa.s.s as he didn't want them to think that his treatment is almost instantaneous.

He could do nothing but stare at Lia Alstreim's face, finding it funny that such a beautiful woman was his grandmother. Except, both his grandmothers were dead, and this one was a step-grandmother.

Still, he understood that it was going to turn out like this for his children as well.

They're going to have so many mothers while their step grandmothers would number around half a dozen, just on his side, to be specific.

'Sigh... I wonder when I can fulfill Evelynn's wish...?'

'However, if I make Evelynn pregnant, the others would naturally expect me to have children with them as well. It goes without saying, even if they refuse out in the open...'

'But by making them wait, all I'm doing is preventing their natural right... Yet... they digest and follow along with my selfish actions backed by selfish reasons.'

"Sigh..."

Davis sighed again.

After half an hour of waiting as random thoughts of his contemporary life flooded his mind, Davis stood up as he walked towards her, lifted up his hands, and reached out towards her. However, he stopped by a few centimeters above her feet as his hands began to glow with a pure white glow.

The life-like energy from Fallen Heaven began to heal Lia Alstreim, whose eyelids slightly quivered from the comfort his power bestowed her.

His confidence turned into nervousness once he began to witness the blood crystals recede back into her body in a slow manner. The process appeared beautiful, just like shy flowers trying to hide. However, Davis knew that it could herald a heavenly tribulation that might affect Tia Alstreim.

'I hope it's just as Tia says... Otherwise, we are pretty much screwed...'

He hoped that it wasn't her fifth Whisper of Fate Phenomenon. Otherwise, Tia's life would be in jeopardy.

He reconsidered doing this later, but after weighing his options, he felt that he didn't have the time or would be available later to save them if a situation arose. Perhaps, that is why they die in less than a decade; because he was not present.

'Mhm... Does this mean I would be somewhere else when they face danger? But I already am convinced that my fate is ever-changing, interfering or manipulating it to my liking by a relative degree with Fallen Heaven's unique prowess...'

Davis could not comprehend the extent of Fallen Heaven's complete prowess. He felt like experimenting again, but he was aware that he might be screwed if he messed up and made himself known to the world. Even if he was not endangered, it was doubtful if the world would leave his family alive.

Nevertheless, Davis was aware that he was playing his life on Extreme Difficulty to be both with his family and make enemies. However, he liked this way. Otherwise, with Fallen Heaven, he would keep having his way and might've fallen into depravity long ago.

He felt that it was impossible to not be corrupted by this power without his loved ones by his side, who constantly made him aware of who he was while supporting his actions.

Honestly, he felt blessed, except not by the heavens but Fallen Heaven!

Davis kept healing Lia Alstreim as Fallen Heaven's life-like energy quickly finished the job. The blood crystals completely receded while Lia Alstreim possessed a light smile on her face, her pale cheeks having a healthy complexion at this moment.

At the same time, her middle dantian also mended back to its initial form, causing her body to revitalize itself.

Davis could see that Lia Alstreim's bones were beginning to strengthen themselves again. If he was not wrong, Lia Alstreim was an avid body cultivator who could endure the difficulties of Body Tempering Cultivation and almost did not fear pain, but that was perhaps why she overdid it and had her middle dantian ruptured.

"!!!"

However, his expression suddenly froze as he slowly raised his chin, looking up at the skies as his gaze penetrated the upper floors with soul sense.

"Mhmm~~~ HmMmm~"

Tia Alstreim sat on a sofa in a nearby hall, dangling her legs as she hummed a tune. It seemed to be a lullaby, like the one a mother would sing to her child in affection.

She looked at her father, who seemed to be listening to her humming in relaxation, and closed her eyes as she felt at peace, believing that her big brother would heal her mother without fail as he said before.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard trickling along the hallway. It attracted both of their attention as their heads swiveled in that direction when they saw Davis and Lia Alstreim walking together side by side with a healthy complexion on their faces.

"Mother!"

Tia screamed in happiness as she hopped from the sofa and ran towards Lia Alstreim while Edgar Alstreim's eyes became moist as he saw his wife's smile. They instantly knew that Lia Alstreim had been healed to be walking on the floor.

Their expressions blossomed into a smile, but Edgar Alstreim seemed to not be able to suppress the suspense.

"Did you truly recover, Lia?"

"Yes!~"

Lia Alstreim happily echoed, her cheeks blus.h.i.+ng before she suddenly jumped and grabbed Davis's arms as she stuck out her curvaceous a.s.sets towards him.

"...!"

Both Edgar Alstreim and Tia Alstreim came to a stop as their legs partly slowed down. Their expressions were a sight to behold as their smiles faded, replaced with a look of confusion.

Tia Alstreim blinked before she moved forward again, still wanting to embrace her mother.

"Stop there, Tia..."

Tia Alstreim's expression changed as she stopped.

"... Why?"

Lia Alstreim's rosy lips curved into a contentful smile as she tightly plastered herself to Davis, who seemed to have a sleazy smile on his face. "Because I'm no longer your father's woman. I belong to this man now..."

"Lia!!! Have you lost your mind!?"

Edgar Alstreim's expression became enraged as he bellowed, "Let go of my grandson at once!"

"Mother...?"

Amidst the enraged roar, Tia Alstreim's purple eyes became moister by the second, looking as if she was going to cry.

However, Lia Alstreim simply looked satisfied as she cuddled with Davis. She seemed to ignore Edgar Alstreim as she looked at Tia.

"Tia, you are no longer my child, so you cannot be near me. I belong to your big brother now, and soon, I'm going to bear his child..."

"What!? Lia...! Have you gone insane!?"

Edgar Alstreim roared with utter disbelief.

However, his shout seemed to fall on deaf ears as both Davis and Lia Alstreim ignored him.

"No... No..." Tia Alstreim looked panic-stricken as she shook her head, not able to understand. Looking frightened, she cast her gaze at Davis, "Big brother, what is happening...?"

"Hehehe..." Davis chuckled, his charming face seemingly revealing a wicked expression, "Tia, do you still not understand?"

Tia Alstreim subconsciously shook her head.

"Then let me enlighten you. As promised, I healed your mother..." Davis's wicked smile into one of a sleazy one, "However, as I healed your mother, she seduced me, and I was unable to resist, but since it happened, she is indeed my woman now..."

"How-" Tia Alstreim shook her head in disbelief, "No... You're lying..."

"It's true, Tia." Lia Alstreim happily smiled as if she was truly content, "Davis is much more capable than your father could ever be, so instead of suffering all my life with your father, I have chosen a capable man who would protect me."

Tia Alstreim's expression turned awful. She noticed her father fuming from the corner of her eyes, but she still couldn't believe that her mother had betrayed her father.

She took a step forward while her lips began to quiver.

"Big brother, how could you do this to my father... your grandfather? I believed in you..."

"Didn't I tell you?" Davis snickered as he took his hand from Lia Alstreim and wrapped her in his embrace, making her stick to his body as she cuddled with him in comfort, "Your mother d.e.s.i.r.ed me since she felt secure, so I simply took her because I love all women whom I have made love with. If you're asking me why, then the world is like this, Tia, cruel and harsh, even insufferable. Your father was unable to protect your mother, so she merely chose the better option to rely on, that is me..."

"Wha-?"

Tia Alstreim was at a loss for words. Gritting her teeth as tears fell down her face, she looked at her mother with a bit of hope.

"Mother, why are you doing this? Please return..."

Lia Alstreim merely shook her head, "I have made my decision, Tia. You are no longer my child, so don't ever come near me again."

Her voice resounded out in a cold tone, causing Tia Alstreim's expression to become despondent.

She could not understand why it would turn out like this. and was impatiently trying to make sense of it when an enraged voice echoed out again.

"You sick b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, die!!!"

Her small purple eyes registered her father leap into the air as flames and martial energy began to swirl around his body, threatening to explode as he thrust his seventh stage attack towards Davis and her mother, intending to kill!

"No!"

Tia Alstreim screamed as her eyes turned bloodshot.

It was obvious that her father's patience had reached the limit for him to attack with killing intent. However, her mother could not withstand such an attack, was what she thought, but before Edgar Alstreim's attack could ultimately reach them, she saw Davis wave his hands as his soul force spread out, suppressing the onslaught before it could even be unleashed.

The flames and martial energy were suppressed in a single instant before they collectively dissipated under the pressure. However, the terrifying soul force undulations did not stop and continued to move forwards as they reached Edgar Alstreim!

"Ahhhh!~"

Her pupils dilated watching the soul force strike her father and send him flying back. A mouthful of blood seemed to spray across the hall as Edgar Alstreim ended up cras.h.i.+ng into the wall, spitting up a mouthful of blood again and descending into a coughing spree.

"Father!"

Tia Alstreim screamed in worry as she looked back.

"Well then, since you don't seem to know your position, you are no longer welcome here, grandfather." Davis smiled deeply as his palm c.a.r.e.s.sed Lia Alstreim's waist, "Let's go, my lovely Lia..."

"Yes, darling~"

Lia Alstreim shot a look of derision at Edgar Alstreim before turning around and walking towards the exit with Davis.

Tia Alstreim turned to look back at them with a sorrowful glint as tears fell, not knowing what to do before she gritted her teeth and ran to her father. Once she neared, she saw him still spitting out blood. To her shock, there were even a few pieces of organs that seemed to have been injured!

"Father, are you fine...?"

She reached out her hand as she cried, wanting to support him from coughing so badly when her hand was suddenly swatted away,

Tia Alstreim's expression froze as she looked at her father staring at her with a cold, unaffectionate gaze seething with deep hatred.

"Don't touch me, you vile sp.a.w.n..."

At this moment, Tia Alstreim's world shattered as her purple eyes became dull, deeply perceiving that her loving family had broken apart from this day forth!
