BXBX NOVEL Chapter 153: Accident
Seated on a sofa in the living room, Chen Tian found himself flanked by Aria and Leng Zhiqing on either side.
Aria\'s eyes were brimming with tears, her emotional state on the verge of overflow.
Meanwhile, Leng Zhiqing looked very serious and angry.
Their gazes bore down on him, ladled with an intense mix of sorrow and bitterness.
Chen Tian took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts. He knew that his explanation would determine the fate of their relationships.
His mind raced as he tried to gather his thoughts.
"What should I do?"
"I can\'t tell them about the world of cultivation yet!"
Chen Tian was still determined in hiding about stuff related to the world of cultivation. He couldn\'t risk exposing his family to the dangers and complexities that came with it.
He knew that their safety and happiness were his top priorities, even if it meant keeping secrets from them.
Chen Tian decided that he would find another way to mend their strained relationships without revealing the truth about the world of cultivation and his past.
"Mmm~"
Lost in contemplation, Chen Tian\'s gaze briefly shifted to his brace.
Emilia was nestled against his chest, her face tucked into his shoulder, and the gentle heat of her breath permeated his shirt\'s fabric.
She seemed completely at ease, embracing this moment of carefree enjoyment.
Unknown to him, he still doesn\'t know that because of the woman in his arms, he was in big trouble today.
"Dear, your husband is under immense pressure, and here you are, taking a rest," Chen Tian thought to himself with frustration.
He tenderly embraced Emilia, and patted her head.
This formed a soft smile on Emilia\'s lips.
"Cough..." Leng Zhiqing looked at them with narrowed eyes.
Anger was building up in her chest as she watched Chen Tian and Emilia in their intimate embrace.
She couldn\'t understand how Emilia could be so carefree while they were in the midst of such a situation.
Leng Zhiqing clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white as she struggled to contain her frustration.
"Chen Tian, I give you two minutes to explain everything," Leng Zhiqing said through gritted teeth.
"We saw Emilia lift a 100-kg man into the air as effortlessly as tossing a tennis ball. She even defeated several burly men like she was Bruce Lee.
When we asked for an explanation, she simply said, \'You\'ll get the details from Chen Tian when he returns.\'"
"W-Wait!"
"You said she did what?" Chen Tian stammered, his eyes widening in disbelief.
That was something he hadn\'t been aware of.
Chen Tian glanced at the girl held in his arms.
Emilia only gave Chen Tian a sheepish smile, her cheeks turning slightly pink. It was clear that she was embarrassed that she couldn\'t keep everything a secret.
Leng Zhiqing started to explain the series of events that led to Emilia\'s actions.
How Emilia visited them that day and until the group of men attacked them
"Like I said, she beat up several men alone, and when we asked her how, she said that you will explain when you come back.
Hearing her words, Aria and I decided to go to her house and talk to you, but Emilia stopped us."
"Eventually we made her confess and knew that you were lying to us!"
Her voice was filled with a mix of hurt and anger.
Emilia looked up at Chen Tian, her eyes questioning and pissed.
Chen Tian took a deep breath and gently released Emilia from his embrace.
He knew he messed up.
Which made the girl feel a sudden pang of disappointment.
He turned to face Leng Zhiqing and Aria, his expression serious yet apologetic.
"Leng Zhiqing, Aria, I understand that this may seem inappropriate given the circumstances, but please believe me when I say that there is a valid explanation for what you witnessed," he said, his voice calm but determined.
"Fuck, I had no choice but to tell them the truth, Chen Tian thought in his mind.
He couldn\'t lie in such a situation.
If Emilia had only defeated one or two attackers, one might have assumed she had training in taekwondo or boxing.
However, the surprising fact was that she incapacitated her attackers by using their own bodies as if they were ping-pong balls.
How could he lie about that?
"Emilia intentionally shifted all the blame onto me!" Chen Tian lamented silently in his thoughts.
Chen Tian wasn\'t afraid to tell them about the cultivation world, but he wasn\'t ready to reveal his past life to them just yet.
What would be their reaction if they knew that he was a centuries-old immortal who had witnessed countless wars and battles?
He knew that revealing his true identity would only complicate things further, and it was a secret he intended to keep hidden for now.
Plus, he didn\'t want their relationship to change, and they started treating him differently.
For him, his family was the best thing that happened to him in this new life, and he didn\'t want anything to ruin that.
He had finally found a sense of belonging and a place where he could leave his past behind.
Keeping his immortal status a secret allowed him to live a normal life and cherish the simple joys of everyday existence.
The thought of his loved ones treating him differently or being overwhelmed by the knowledge of his past was something he couldn\'t bear.
"I don\'t have any other choice," he thought to himself.
"I-I will..."
|Tringgggg|
Just as he was opening his mouth to speak, he was cut off by the unexpected sound of a phone.
It was Aria\'s phone ringing,
Aria, surprised, quickly reached into her pocket to answer it.
"Sigh..."
Chen Tian let out a sigh of relief.
The interruption gave him a moment to gather his thoughts.
Aria looked at the number on the caller ID.
It was an unknown number, which made Aria hesitate for a moment. She contemplated whether she should answer or ignore the call.
However, curiosity got the better of her, and she decided to pick up.
"Yes, hello," Aria answered tentatively, unsure of who could be on the other end of the line.
As Aria answered the phone call, the expression on her face immediately changed from worry to shock.
"What!!!" Aria exclaimed, her voice filled with disbelief and shock.
She couldn\'t believe what she was hearing on the other end of the line.
Her mind raced, trying to process the information she had just received.
Aria\'s heart began to race as she listened intently to the person\'s words.
"Sis, what happened!?" Leng Zhiqing asked, concern evident in her voice.
Aria took a deep breath, struggling to find the right words to convey the shocking news she had just heard.
Her body was trembling as tears streamed down her face. She never expected to be faced with such devastating news.
It felt like the ground beneath her had been ripped away, leaving her feeling lost and vulnerable.
She stammered, "It\'s... it\'s Mom. There\'s been an accident."
"What!" Leng Zhiqing\'s gasp echoed through the room, and the weight of the tragedy hung heavy in the silence that followed.
Chen Tian face darkened and without Aria could sense what happened Chen Tian took the phone from her.
He started talking with a sense of urgency in his voice, making arrangements and trying to gather more information about the accident.
Aria\'s body froze as she watched Chen Tian take charge.
The room was filled with tension as Aria anxiously waited for Chen Tian to finish the call.
She could see the worry etched on his face and felt her own heart pounding in her chest.
The news of the accident had shaken her to the core.
"Sis, is mom okay?" Leng Zhiqing asked, her voice trembling.
Leng Zhiqing was desperate for reassurance, her eyes welling up with tears.
Even Emilia had a serious face as she silently listened to the conversation. Discover tales on NovelFire-mp _y,r.
"Hello Sir, Yes, I\'m talking with you from a hospital A. I\'m sorry to inform you that a person called Chen Ying has been in a car accident." The nurse spoke calmly on the phone.
Chen Tian\'s heart dropped as he heard those words.
The room fell into a heavy silence, the tension growing even stronger.
The more the nurse kept talking, the more Chen Tian\'s expression changed, without even him noticing that killing intent was beginning to cloud his eyes.
Emilia watched in concern as Chen Tian\'s fists clenched and his jaw tightened.
She could sense his anger and frustration building up, ready to explode.
Seeing his expression, she knew that something bad was about to happen.
Sometimes the call was disconnected.
"Chen Tian, ho-how\'s mom, which hospital is she in?" Leng Zhiqing stammered, trying to know her mother\'s condition.
She set aside her anger towards Chen Tian, as her mother\'s well-being took precedence in her mind now.
Chen Tian just looked at her.
His eyes were devoid of any emotion.
He remained silent for a moment, causing Leng Zhiqing\'s heart to race with worry.
Finally, Chen Tian spoke in a cold, detached tone: "Your mother is fine, but Mei Hua was severely injured."
"What!"
He put the phone on a nearby table and said, She\'s in hospital A; you should go and see her immediately."
"What about you?" Emilia asked, her concern evident in her voice.
She has never seen Chen Tian with such expression.
With a cold look in his eyes, Chen Tian turned toward Emilia.
"I have something to do first."
"But mom is..." Leng Zhiqing wanted to say something, but before she could say it,
Chen Tian vanished from his spot, leaving Aria and Emilia in a state of surprise.
