Stealing The Protagonist’s Yandere Lovers-Chapter 96 Life Is Like A Play
I had to admit the sight of a young girl, closer to my age in those ragged clothes consoling her mother who seemed too exhausted to even speak struck a cord inside my heart.
Sensing that someone had entered, both of them looked at me who was standing by the door.
Maybe they saw the high-quality clothes that I was wearing or maybe it was because of my handsome face.
Whatever the reason was, upon seeing me the young girl got scared,
"M-Mister, you must be from the electricity department."
"It's only one day more since the deadline passed."
"I have already got a job and will surely pay the bills."
"Please don't cut off our electricity. My mother is sick and needs constant warmth. We can live without light and fan but if there is no electricity, the heater won't be able to turn on and mother will feel cold."
"Please Mister."
-the young girl hurriedly kneeled over and begged me in her most desperate tone.
'Oof, from Claire I knew Shouta's family was in poor condition, but this does not seem poor, this seems a dire situation.'
'Does she mistake me for someone who came to collect the electricity bill?'
I too kneeled down and held the trembling shoulders of the crying girl.
"Radhika, I am not here to collect some bills."
"I am a friend of your brother."
Yes, from Claire's investigations I already knew the name of Shouta's younger sister was Radhika and his mother's name was Michelle.
Radhika's eyes widened upon hearing my words.
"Fr-Friend of brother?"
"Yes", I spoke in an assuring tone.
It was time for my world-class acting skills to play its role~
I sighed deeply~
My tone became emotional…heck, to seem real I even shed some tears.
"Yes Radhika, I am your brother's friend Elandor."
Hearing me speaking with such an emotion, I successfully caught the attention of both Radhika as well as Michelle lying on the bed.
Both of them were earnestly looking to what I was to say. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎
"I don't know if I should say it but seeing you I could no longer hide it…me and Shouta had a fight some days back. I overheard him saying that he had a younger sister named Radhika and a sick mother, Michelle."
"He got angry when he realized that I eavesdropped on him. I don't know why he wanted to keep a secret about you guys. I said I wanted to help you since my friend's sister and mother are like my own sister and mother. My dad used to teach me that if we have the ability we must help the one who is related to us. But sadly, Shouta didn't agree with my logic and instead got angry when I talked about it."
There were slight tears falling from my eyes, the acting must be flawless~
Life is like a play, one must act as everything depends on the act. Only when everything is impeccable from our side can we expect the best outcome.
"I can understand that I must have hurt Shouta's self-esteem, he must himself want to earn and help his sister and mother. Therefore, it was only reasonable for him to get angry and quarrel with me. Haha, he even said we are not friends and he will never talk to me again."
"But, I couldn't watch it and sneakily got his family's address and details from the admission office."
"And, when I came here and saw such a sight I froze at the door." fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m
"Y-You guys have been through so much."
Hearing my words both Radhika and Michelle were silent.
A friend visits his friend's house but instead of seeing a happy picture and being served tea and sweets, he sees the sister and mother crying.
The mood only became more gloomy~
This was what I wanted to get inside the picture I needed to arouse their emotions. It's said one can only connect better while sharing sadness. The effect was already visible as both of them had stopped crying.
I knew it was time to force a climax.
Their agitated and hopeless hearts needed a ray of light,
…A ray of hope~
No, they did not need it, their hearts sought it.
Patting Radhika's trembling back I got up and walked closer to Michelle lying on the bed.
I looked for a few seconds.
"I can cure your mother, Radhika."
Bang~~
Like something burst open in their head, it was like a sun which forced open in their darkest nights to spread its rays, giving hope that there can be light again.
Both of them forgot about all the sad things they were thinking and looked at me, not even blinking once.
Under their bewildered eyes, I held Michelle's hand and closed my eyes.
After forty seconds I released her hands.
"Indeed, it is as I expected."
"I can really cure you, Miss."
"Re-Really?" - the lips of Michelle which had not been opened for some time because of sadness and depression that she could not get up again finally parted.
"Yes, since I have said so much I will be honest with both of you."
"I have lots of secrets and I can indeed cure you."
Not believing what I said, Radhika got up and hurriedly rushed to me and held my hands.
"The doctor said if we need to cure my Mother's illness we need at least someone with a Mortal God level of strength but how poor people like us afford to see such a strong person. Can you really do it?"
I had already checked Michelle's condition using my dragon eyes. Actually, the problem was quite simple, she had a special physique and as a result, various meridians in her body were blocked. All she needed was someone to channel their internal energy inside them and let the energy flow through the meridians, unblocking them.
Because of the knowledge that I inherited in the last world, I knew due to various hereditary reasons- there were various innate physiques in the world which needed their meridians to be unblocked via external help, only after unblocking the meridians with internal energy can their body become stronger. Otherwise, they would end up getting sick due to clogging of their inner strength and will thus, eventually end up only falling sick.
