Countdown 15 Departing From the Alpha (Evelyn) novel Chapter 133

Chapter 125 

“Celia!” The sweet voice, as if drowned in honey, called from inside as soon as the door was opened. 

She took only two steps in the room, when she was already engulfed in her mother’s arms, who already had tears falling from her eyes. It was a look foreign to Celia; her mother had never hugged her, much less cry because of worry towards her. 

“Are you alright?” Diane asked, releasing the stiff Celia who had not returned her hug. 

“Yes, of course I am alright!” Celia replied, surprised by the question. 

“Have your injuries already healed?” Diane continued with her questions, while checking with her own eyes if there were visible wounds on Celia. 

“Injuries?” Celia replied with a question. She had been injured several weeks ago, why would her 

mother ask her now about wounds. 

“Ahhh… It’s just, we came from the Academy, and a young man told us there that you have been 

injured. You have no idea how we felt, finding out about your injuries from someone else!” Diane 

blamed her, a bit more upset than concerned. 

No stories available. 

“It was only some minor injuries during an exercise with other students. I am fine already, my regeneration kicked in shortly afterwards.” Celia minimized her actual problems. For one, the attack 

was still under ongoing investigations, so she did not know how much she could actually talk about 

1. it. 

For two, they could stay longer visiting her, having a proper reason to do so, and she wanted to avoid that. She was still not comfortable around them, she wasn’t even sure if she would ever be 

again. 

Spending the last five months away from them, she had pondered many times about her past, trying to find at least a teeny–tiny moment when her parents actually did something for her with her best 

ds interest in mind, only to discover that she was an utter fool, dedicating so much of her care tov 

them. 

Looking back, she could not even consider that they at least clothed and fed her. 

Considering she did most of the chores, it would become more of a salary she received from them like a maid, and thus paid for her necessities herself. In her conscious mind she knew it was wrong

her to think so, but involuntarily she still felt like that. 

What kind of parents would let a child do her homework, only after assisting her siblings do theirs and completing most of the chores in the house? And, while it was true that her mother was the one who most ordered her to do this and that, her father always turned a blind eye to her actions, silently approving them. 

At some point, Daniel started to do his homework by himself refusing her help. But because of her mother, Brianna gladly accepted it, and did not bother to do her projects at all after some time. Even when Celia informed her mother of this, fearing that Brianna would suffer on the long term lacking a proper education, Diane took no actions. 

Doing the work of two people, if she had not put enough effort in her studies, spending countless sleepless nights… it was clear that her mother did not think of her future at all. 

“But the young man who talked to us at the palace said that you are still recuperating. Ohhh… I just realized why are you at the palace?” Diane asked seemingly confused, but she already had her suspicions. 

“Ahhh that is because…” Said Celia dragging her words, she had no valid reason for why she was here, because the true reason was not something she wanted to inform her parents about. 

Knowing her mother, she would be quite eager to become in–laws with Salas. Perhaps she would even insist on him marking her, causing problems for Crescent. 

Not to mention, Diane could even try to intervene in her decision to keep being a watcher. Not that, she would listen to her mother, but why bother. 

“There are no separate dorm rooms for girls at the building meant for the watcher students at the Academy, or spare rooms in the buildings of the other courses. 

Realizing this particular fact, his highness has decided for Miss Blair to live at the palace where there is enough space, at least during the weekends.” Jenna intervened in her stead, it was actually the reason his highness himself had made her say. 

Unknown to them, Jenna was in real time reporting each word to Salas, using the pack link.
