Zosia: Quick Transmigration System-Chapter 57 - 55- Arc 2

Arriving at the front desk, she did like she wanted to pay for the bills and also changed Lysel's information in the system.

By the time she was done, she was drained. Walking back to Lysel's ward, she was walking sluggishly. The moment she arrived at the door to the ward, she met Kent coming out.

"You are here." She said, rubbing her eyes sluggishly. She had no explanation for them, if they were to ask why she was like that, so she could only feing lack of sleep.

Kent looked at Mirabel who looked dull. Feeling awkward, he played with the corner of his shirt. He couldn't help but think about the kiss yesterday. He wasn't sure if she knew about it, since he had done it while she was asleep. But after thinking it through yesterday, he knew it wouldn't be that simple.

Someone who could fight on equal footing with huge burly men wouldn't be so unaware of her surroundings. Luckily, she didn't bring that up.

"I came to see Lysel."

"Okay. He has been discharged."

"Yeah... I noticed he seemed better than expected. Like, he seems well....."

"Hmmm."

"Not like I am against it or something.... Is just...."

"Just what?" Zosia asked, her eyes turning a degree colder.

"Not what I was expecting. Seems like his body heals faster. Maybe that's why he is still alive despite all the bullying he has been through."

"Yeah."

"Let's go inside, you seem tired." Kent said, opening the door, which revealed Lysel flexing his body.

"I feel so good." He muttered, still having an unbelievable look on his face.

Kent frowned, he felt that it was suspicious.

'Why would Lysel react like that, isn't it something he must have been through multiple times?'

"Why are you acting like you aren't used to it?"

"Huh?"

'Does Kent also get such a treatment from Mirabel. No wonder he is so strong.'

"Don't you also get such treatment?" Lysel asked with an envious look.

Zosia glanced at the two of them and understood that a misunderstanding was brewing. She definitely wasn't going to explain it either.

"Lysel, you have been discharged. Do you wanna go... Back to your own house, or follow me?"

"Tsk, since when were you looking for followers?" Kent asked, feeling a twinge of jealousy.

Zosia sighed, her patience wearing thin. "Kent, this isn't about followers. Lysel needs a safe place to recover fully, and his house isn't exactly that."

Kent's expression softened, recognizing the truth in her words. He looked at Lysel, who seemed to be waiting for a cue. "Alright, it's your choice, Lysel. What do you want to do?"

Lysel glanced between them, his eyes wide with uncertainty. He had never felt so torn before. Staying with Mirabel meant safety and care, but it also meant stepping further into a world he didn't fully understand. However, returning home meant vulnerability, with no one to protect him from the lurking dangers.

"I'll go with Mirabel," he finally said, his voice steady. "I don't want to go back home yet."

Zosia nodded, a small smile playing on her lips.

"Alright, let's get your things."As they gathered Lysel's belongings, the tension between Zosia and Kent was palpable.

Kent couldn't shake the feeling that he was being left out of something important. He watched Zosia move with an efficiency that belied her tiredness, and he couldn't help but wonder how much she was keeping from him. He didn't know why he had the urge to know everything, to want to be part of her life and everything going on.

Was that love? Or just plain Possessiveness?

"Mirabel," he said, his voice lower. "What's really going on here? There's more to this, isn't there?"She paused, her eyes meeting his.

"Kent, there are things I can't explain right now. But trust me, it's better this way."He frowned but nodded.

"I hope you know what you're doing."

The trio left the hospital, stepping out into the cool autumn air.

Lysel seemed to relax a bit, the hospital's oppressive atmosphere lifting from his shoulders.

"Let me call my mom to inform her that we would be coming and that Lysel would be staying with us." Zosia said as she brought out her phone.

"Tell her that I would also be staying." Kent said causing Zosia to pause in her steps.

"What do you mean, Kent?"

"Exactly what I said."

"And why is that?" She asked. She didn't understand where Kent's curious or... She just didn't know what to define his attitude. She didn't even understand where it was coming from.

"I don't wanna go back to my own house. Your mom would know better than you do." Kent's reply caused Zosia to frown.

Her eyes scanned Kent's face and seeing that he wasn't lying, she sighed and walked towards the side to make the call.

She clicked on Ariana's number which was picked on the second ring.

"Mirabel, is something wrong?"

"No mom. Um two of my friends are coming to stay with us and it may be for a while.."

"Ah!, is that it? Then there is no problem. We have enough food to feed more people. It's great your friends can come to stay with you.

I will call Wini to take care of it. Just go back home."

"Yes mom. Thanks a lot."

"It's nothing for my precious baby."

Zosia gave an awkward laugh and immediately cut the call. She wasn't used to such sweet words and definitely wasn't planning on getting used to it.

Returning back to them, she said. "My mom agreed, so we should get going. Luckily today is weekend. Tomorrow is going to be school."

As they walked towards Zosia's car, Lysel glanced at her. "Thank you, Mirabel. For everything."

She gave him a reassuring smile. "You're welcome, Lysel. Let's get you home."

The drive to Mirabel's house was quiet, the hum of the engine filling the silence. Kent kept staring at Mirabel, his mind racing with questions. What had he gotten himself into? And why did he feel so protective over Mirabel and jealous of Lysel?

'Gosh, I hope I have not fallen in love. It would be a disaster.' he thought. It's best if it's only the original owner but it should definitely not be him.

Lysel watched in awe as they passed the estate gate. He once lived in a place like this, but now, that was long gone.

"Welcome to my Humble abode." Zosia announced as they came down from the car.

"You call this humble?"

"Pssht. More like proud."

Zosia smiled and turned to the driver. "Thanks sir. Please bring in their things."

Turning back to them, "Let's go, oh, right. Kent, what about your stuff, how would you do it."

"You don't need to worry about that? It's our school uniform I am worried about."

"That's true." She nodded, acknowledging the fact that apart from her, the two of them neither had their uniforms with them and Lysel wasn't schooling with them.

She thought for a while, this is where Ariana's influence comes in.

"Let's get you guys settled down first."

"Young Miss, Madam already told me about them. Leave the rest to me."

Zosia turned to look at Wini, she was the butler and head maid of the house. She adores Ariana so much that she was like a little puppy. Sometimes, Mirabel had the urge to think that she was more of a daughter to Ariana than her.

"Okay aunt Wini."

Yup, Wini was older than her and by a huge margin.

"I will go do my thing then." She immediately rushed inside.

Lysel and Kent who were left behind, were stunned. They looked between Mirabel's disappearing back and the young maid, well not too young as she was old enough to be their mother.

"Let's go." She said, leading them into the house.

Zosia on the other hand, was rushing towards the basement. While in the car, she had thought of various ways to train while masking it from Kael's prying eyes.

And since this place, despite having some spies, they weren't that curious about anything going on in the house, so it would be to her advantage and even if she ends up weeding them out, which she knows would not be completely possible till Kael hands her over to that Organization, but keeping them at the bare minimum, maybe one or two.

As she arrived at the basement, she took in her surroundings. She noticed that there were no cameras. Even after casting her spiritual consciousness, she didn't notice anything out of place.

While coming to this place, she had also noticed that nobody came here so it was full of dust. Sweeping her spiritual consciousness made her head pound. Despite her reserve filling up a little, it still wasn't much.

"Well, I just need to confirm the place first." She muttered to herself as she stared at the place.

Pushing open the door in front of her, she saw an underground staircase. Despite how dark the place was, she wasn't afraid. Stepping onto the stairs, she swept her spiritual consciousness and noticed that the stairs were quite narrow. Arriving at the end of the stairs, she swept her spiritual consciousness again and noticed that the space was quite wide and empty.

Zosia frowned. "Who would build such then leave the place empty?" Her eyes flickered with such thoughts.

"Very strange." She muttered to herself while walking away.
