Chapter 342: My goddess!

"It doesn't seem like authority has come over with her," Alex whispered, hovering his eyes on Celia, playing with other kids in the playground.

She finally could have fun with kids her age and taste what most kids had already done in their lives, and that was just to have fun.

Sara, who sat close to her beloved, whispered, "It is probably sleeping within her. Since she became just a human here, that's the only explanation.

And even if Celia loses it… She will never be angry at you… How did you know she would be able to cross the worlds, though?" Sara asked, her big eyes wide as Alex couldn't cross the worlds with his 'gaming body'.

There was no assimilation yet.

Alex chuckled, not avoiding her gaze as he shamelessly replied, "I had a feeling I would be able to do it. If I failed, I would have apologized to Celia a thousand times by playing games with her, reading her favorite books for a good night, and helping her take care of her good wolf friends."

"So you took a bet," Sara rolled her eyes, then dropped her little head on Alex's shoulder, "We are so lucky, aren't we?"

"We are," Alex wrapped his arm around her, caressing Sara softly as they both gazed at the happy dullahan girl.

Many changes happened in Alex's life in a short amount of time.

He bought a few houses close to each other, which basically looked like he owned a significant part of the neighborhood. He and his mother showered Celia with presents, showing her around the new world.

Celia was a smart kid, so she learned a lot of stuff relatively fast. She knew how to handle her smartphone and laptop. She also learned fast about Earth's customs and blended well with other kids.

Anime was popular nowadays, so Celia found a common link with everyone.

Harvey also helped with formal stuff, officially registering Celia as Alex's daughter. It was quite troublesome, for Stella was his wife. Nonetheless, there wasn't really too much problem, for Harvey's friend was naturally the guardian.

The man knew his tricks.

Alex's wives also started getting more involved in Earth's matters, but not enough to disturb their time in the Avander World. In other words, girls were like freelancers having their own websites.

Alex was similar, but he leveraged popular social media.

That was mostly because no one felt like going to the Avander World. Celia was the main cause, and no one wanted to part ways with her. However, the Avander World required attention, for things kept happening here.

"Your birthday is soon… I hope Stella can wake up," Sara whispered, recalling her white-haired sister hitting her up for advice for a present.

She prayed that Stella would wake up soon, for she had been changing the most out of them three.

Alex nodded, sharing the same feelings with his dullahan momma. Before he could reply, his phone buzzed.

He took it out, then answered, "Stella woke up?!"

What a coincidence!

After ordering a taxi, Alex, Sara, and Celia headed straight to the hospital.

It was Celia's first time being here, so she looked around curiously while being held by her mother. She stopped looking around when a man in a white robe appeared before her daddy.

Alex immediately asked, "How is she?"

He knew it was a fantasy-related wound, yet he couldn't stop worrying about her.

The doctor replied with a smile, "She's fine. You will be able to see her in a few minutes."

"Thanks," Alex faintly smiled, then took a seat before Stella's room.

Everyone else caught up shortly after.

A whole family gathered to visit Stella, for she was their precious family member. They killed time by talking quietly or checking the news, waiting for the doctors to finish their job.

Alex was also going through the news, checking what was trending on social media.

[#MMM]

[Mass Mysterious Murders.]

That was currently the most trending topic on nearly all social media. It was about the deaths of many people, who died either in their houses or on their way to shop or work.

Even though victims' backgrounds differed, those cases were oddly similar to each other.

However, after a closer investigation, police inferred that the victims were members of popular guilds in the Avander World.

They were gamers.

Their levels weren't high, but they weren't also too low. However, many of them had significant uses in their guilds. They might not have been high-class players, but they severely increased crafting productions or filled other similar purposes.

They were good targets to take down.

Unfortunately, the police didn't know about it. They didn't really think someone would kill so many people just because they were good in the game world.

"It's really saddening, isn't it?" An old grandma's voice rang out in Alex's ears.

He glanced at her before replying in a soft tone, "Yes."

She nodded, retracting her eyes.

It was indeed unfortunate that others died. But for now, those deaths were like many others, and most people forgot about them soon enough.

"You can enter."

At last, Alex and others could see Stella! No one barred their way, so Alex took the lead by stepping first into her room.

When he saw Stella sitting on the bed with her usual sleepy aura, he unconsciously smiled, greeting her with such relieved expression, "Welcome back."

Stella lifted her eyes, exposing her hair for a head pat, "Head pat."

Alex patted her just like she wanted, then sat beside her, wrapping his arms around her lovely body. Others stared at them with relieved smiles.

"Aunt Stella! I am here too!" Celia called Stella, shocking her. But as Stella always believed in her husband, she knew he would soon bring the little dullahan to his world.

And as Stella knew that her mother required help, it was relieving that Alex progressed significantly.

"Hi," Stella waved at Celia, then shifted her eyes back to Alex.

She already saw changes within his looks that transcended the two worlds. His eyes particularly drew her attention. Those were the same as their enemies, yet different. In those, she saw relief and possessiveness.

"Your eyes are like red apple… They are sweet," Stella smiled faintly before embracing her beloved.

"Sweet, huh," Alex smiled, kissing Stella's cheek. He could tell that she knew the cause of her coma, so he looked forward to hearing more about it. He knew it was surely Elias Deathwill, for his knowledge about sins was much better now.

But he would rather hear it from Stella herself.

"Now that you said it, Stella… Why does Alex have red eyes?" Lavinia asked, looking at her son with narrowed eyes, "You have paler skin… and darker hair?"

"Grandma didn't notice?" Celia asked while pinching her grandma's cheek.

Lavinia blushed, replying with an excuse, "You took all my attention, Celia."

"Hehe!"

"If you can't see your son, leaving you alone with Celia is dangerous, blind baba! And you also bought her a gaming laptop, which will surely hurt her eyes more… Stupid and blind… Sigh!" Schnee started another strife, filling the hospital with a merry mood.

"Oh, you better shut up!" Lavinia snapped.

Stella felt like she was back home, "Have you come here for me, cat?"

"Huh? Of course," Schnee tilted her head, looking at Stella with a peculiar gaze.

The white-haired girl's lips curved up into a dazzling smile, "Good kitty."

Lavinia's eyes twinkled, "My goddess!"
