Chapter 1439: Dane

"Oh, you’re leaving already, honey?"

"Yes mom, I have to get some work done."

"Aiyya, it’s night time!"

The middle aged man could only give his mother a wry smile, causing her to stare at him worriedly.

"Oh honey. I know you’re doing all of this for me, but please don’t overwork yourself, okay?"

The man simply nodded.

"Promise?"

"I promise." He sighed, standing up, "now I have to leave. I’ll be back tomorrow with some more food."

"Alright honey."

Saying his goodbyes, the man left the hospital room and entered the hall.

The hall itself was large, and as he took in its pristine white and luxurious surroundings, he couldn’t help but feel a wave of anger.

’An hospital, huh.’

In all his thirty eight years of living, he’d have never expected that he’d ever find himself in such a place. A health care center in the high class part of the city.

His work as a mere assistant to a desk clerk made that impossible.

His salary was barely able to set him up in the middle class of the city. Yet, the unexpected sickness of his mother had forced him into this dreadful situation.

As he made his way out of the hospital, he stared at each figure he saw with envy.

’You have no idea how lucky you are.’

He stopped by to pick up some groceries before heading straight home.

"Hey neighbor!"

"Oh, h-hi."

’She’s greeting me again...’

He stared at the young Evolari woman in front of him. He’d only just moved here to be closer to his mother, and this particular cheerful neighbor had always tried to make conversation with him.

’What does she want?’

Even now, there was still the disdain between superior and lower races. He was a human, and she Evolari, which made this situation even more weird.

"You’re just coming back from work?"

"Yes." He awkwardly answered.

"Ah, I see. Keep up the good work,"

"Thank you..." an awkward silence settled between them, "alright I guess I’ll see-" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Ah! I almost forgot." She cut in before he could excuse himself, "A beautiful woman came here looking for you a while ago. Said she was your long lost aunt or something."

"Aunt?" He arched an eyebrow. As far as he knew, all his relatives were dead.

"Did she happen to mention her name?"

"No,"

"Can you tell me what she looks like?"

"Em, let’s see... right! She was really cold, and I seem to remember finding her white hair really cool. She looked like our dreamy god-"

"W-white hair?" His heart pounded. ’No no no.’

"Yeah-"

’Shit.’

"Where is she now!?"

"Whoa, are you okay?" The woman backed up slightly, startled.
