(Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!)This was the sound that woke Rex Magnus and Fiona up the next day.Opening his eyes with a start, what entered Rex Magnus' eyes was a world of pink, astonishing him.‘Where is this place?’His eyes furrowed when suddenly, he felt a movement from his side, then he glanced there and a bright smile instantly surfaced on his face as the craziness that occurred last night began to pour inside his mind.“Good morning wife,” he teased his wife whom despite having woken up is still acting like she hadn’t.He waited for a while but got no response, so Rex Magnus inched really close to her and slightly shift down the duvet covering her entire body.What entered his eyes was a flawlessly beautiful and fresh face of a goddess that us currently flushed red.Suddenly, Rex Magnus' heart skipped a bit before it started pulsating loudly and his breathing quickens.Bending down sli****“Grandmother was rushed to the hospital?”Fiona's face which was initially red with embarrassment has become tightly furrowed right now as she gazes at her mother with question marks on her forehead.Turning toward the door, both David and Sally showed no expression on their faces apart from the worrisome initially there after seeing the duo, husband and wife.“Yes, daughter. We got an urgent call this morning that mother suddenly blank out and was rushed to the hospital.”Fiona's eyes instantly widen, then directly, she became nervous.“What are we waiting for then, let's go!”Not waiting for anybody, she directly led the way, rushing downstairs with her long legs, then immediately, Rex Magnus rushed after, followed by Sally and David.Thankfully, the car taken from May was still there, so after leaving the villa, Fiona quickly entered the passenger’s side while Rex Magnus, the driver's side, the
****Presently, apart from Fiona, her parent, and Ethan whose face has turned pale because of what Rex Magnus just said, the others could be seen glaring ferociously and disdainfully at Rex Magus.“Who questions a trash like you, hun?”Someone abruptly asked Rex Magnus in an extremely cold voice.Hearing him, someone turned to the speaker.“Fourth Cousin, do you hear what the bastard say?”Those that weren’t certain they had heard what Rex Magnus said correctly immediately glanced at the person questioned, then the person nodded and pointed a finger ferociously at Rex Magnus. “That bastard just said grandmother was poisoned!”The moment this was heard and everybody confirmed they had heard right, their faces changed immediately, turning alienated, and this included the first generations of the Johnson family, then as if Rex Magnus was a lowly slave, everybody began to rain tons of insults, curses, their disgust, and all the Inhuman words they
****Everybody's eyes had become widened right now after hearing both Sally's and David's plea.This was especially so at Sally. They knew how much she hates and is disgusted by Rex Magnus, so they couldn’t understand the sudden she was showing him.Slowly, everybody began to exchange gazes, trying to believe if both David and Sally really believed Rex Magnus which was only causing intense panic for Ethan.As for Rex Magnus.Seeing the pitiful looks on his parent-in-law's faces, he gazed at them for a moment before finally nodding his head gently.“Yes, mother, father I can heal grandmother if you want.”This time around, everybody was equally flabbergasted.Even Sally, Fiona, and David almost couldn’t believe Rex Magnus.They were there earlier when the doctor reported that the Old Matriarch only have a little more time left to leave, so hearing Rex Magnus' claim right now felt somehow to them.“Nonsense!!”Someone suddenly bel
****Back in the hospital ward.Right now, an oppressive atmosphere already dominated the place, and everybody could be seen staring at the ground with still-nervous expressions on their faces.Although David had long withdrawn his aura, everybody are still deeply traumatized by it, so they hadn’t said a single word since.As if guns whose triggers were ready to be pulled were placed on their foreheads, everybody apart from Rex Magnus, Sally, Fiona, and David could be seen sweating buckets presently.Equally, they are petrified to the core, but someone’s fear at this moment is several times more intense than the other, and this person is none but Ethan.That’s right.Looking at Ethan, his face has become paler than a dead person's right now, and as if his face has been frozen for over twenty years, it was already utterly white.Presently, he was barely standing on his legs knowing well of his evil deed.If not that he was scared of gettin
****‘Mistress?’Right now, everybody’s brains were repeating blankly to them, and this included Fiona and her parents, who also know May.They watched with eyes that were about to pop out of their sockets as May continued bowing slightly for Fiona.Although the truth was already before them, they still couldn’t believe their eyes.As for Fiona, after getting the shock of her life for almost a minute, she hurriedly returned to her senses and immediately became filled once again with nervousness.“King’s… King's lady, I… I think you are mistaken, I… I…”“Oh no!” May suddenly giggle brightly when she witnessed the completely petrified Fiona.“You definitely aren’t mistaken, mistress, right, master?”Everybody, o_oTheir eyes widen, and instinctively, their heads swirl to where May's eyes are currently staring, and instantly, their heads
****Right now, everybody's mouth was wide open as they stared with shock, wonder, anger, and furiousness.They couldn’t believe what they just heard at all, no matter what, but looking at the emotional Old Matriarch, they understood well that she had neither lied nor joked.For more than twenty minutes, the ward descended into a suppressive silence as everybody gaped in shock.Just now, everybody had been overly shocked when they saw the old matriarch waking up, but the thing that shocked them the most was her accusations.The first thing she did after waking up was to burst into mournful tears, asking Ethan why he had poisoned her.At first, everybody didn’t understand what she was saying, so they exchanged gazes, but the more excited the Old Matriarch got, the more serious everybody realized things to be.They heard of how Ethan had heartlessly poisoned and told the Old Matriarch the reason why he poisoned her which was what everybody found very
***** “Actually, it was your fault that you were in this position.” Everybody's eyes suddenly trembled and a trace of anger appeared. Even Fiona couldn’t help but call her husband angrily, looking furious while only David, Sally, Ethan, and her family doesn’t react. As for the Old Matriarch, she wasn’t furious at all by Rex Magnus' words, rather, her self-reproachful smile widen. “Yes, I understand this well. Everything was my fault, and I think only my death could wash away my sins.” “Please don’t speak like that, Grandmother!” “Mother Please don’t speak like that!” Everybody called out with concern that they don’t usually show, but the Old Matriarch acted like she doesn’t hear and continued her self-reproachful smile while Rex Magnus' mouth abruptly twitched slightly. ‘What's everybody thinking of, and grandmother-in-law, what’s she saying?’ he looked lost before shaking his head slightly. “I don’t think you understand me,” he bega
**** Although Rex Magnus does not want it, he doesn’t interfere with his wife's wish at all and allows her to do as she wants even though he already knew which choice she would take.And as he had thought, after she was begged over and over again by everybody, Fiona eventually gave in, Although not that willingly. And on that day, at that moment, Fiona Johnson became the Matriarch of the Johnson family.After that, Rex Magnus waited more and only left with May after everything was settled.On their way, May gave him the Intel of everything that had been going on the past few days, about how the entire world was already deploying their army and so, and the more Rex Magus hears, the paler his face became, but he said nothing and kept quiet throughout until May took him to meet his generals.With May present, they all for the first time in more than three years discussed the coming war before them, and Rex Magnus finally learned of all the available soldie
