2 Chapter 2: Awakening

The sound startled the woman lying on the bed beside him. Bell guessed that she must be his mother in this life.

"Bell!? Are you awake!?" the woman exclaimed excitedly. Tears quickly filled her eyes and streamed down her cheeks.

Elena was overjoyed! It had been so long, and Bell had shown no signs of waking up at all. She had mentally prepared herself for Bell to sleep for a year or even longer. Unexpectedly, today she had just taken a little rest, and her son suddenly woke up. Merlin's beard, this was truly wonderful!

Bell nodded his small head, intending to greet her, but before he could speak, a gust of wind suddenly arose.

"Bang ~ Clatter ~ Snap ~"

The sound of various objects shattering echoed.

"..."

"So what exactly is going on here? Isn't anyone going to do something about it?" Bell looked puzzled.

"Oh, sweetheart, don't get excited, everything's fine, Mommy is right here by your side."

Elena watched as Bell's magic wreaked havoc around him, afraid that Bell would be frightened. If little Bell's emotions caused his magic to go haywire, she couldn't guarantee that her son wouldn't fall asleep for another month.

Elena grabbed what looked like a microphone from the bedside and excitedly called for the therapist.

Soon, several people rushed into the room. They glanced around at the scene in the room, then quickly walked over to Bell's side. A middle-aged woman who looked like the leader quickly pulled out a wooden stick and gently pressed it against Bell's body.

...

Bell looked at the people in front of him, his mouth twitching.

What were these people doing? They were poking him with a broken chopstick! Who were these people? Didn't scammers have any professionalism these days? Please, if you're going to scam someone, at least do it with a bit of finesse!

Bell turned to look at his mother, hoping she would kick these weirdos out. Although the lady was only gently touching him with the chopstick, it still made him uncomfortable.

But Bell was quickly disappointed. His mother just smiled at him, completely unquestioning of the strange people. At the same time, she was quickly conversing with them in English, and Bell could only make out a few words occasionally, but he couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

"..."

It seemed his own mother couldn't be relied upon. Bell felt that when he grew up a little more, he would have to watch over his mother and his assets. Otherwise, one day he might be swindled out of everything, both money and person.

Bell struggled to lift his little hand, wanting to push away the chopstick.

And then...

"Boom ~ Bang ~ Clatter ~"

"..."

Another round of objects shattering, this time it seemed like a wall collapsed? Bell saw a cloud of smoke spreading.

Of course, that wasn't the main issue. The main problem was, Bell saw that the scammer in front of him, who had been poking him with a chopstick, had a transparent shield appearing on her body!

And she even waved the chopstick in her hand, and the spreading smoke was blocked several meters away from Bell. Clearly, there were no obstacles there, but the smoke was still stopped.

( ̄△ ̄;)

It seems these people aren't scammers?

And Bell also found out that there wasn't any terrorist attack here? Or perhaps, was he the terrorist?

The inspection went on for a long time, with some discordant noises mixed in, but Bell was already used to it.

Anyway, so much had already been smashed, he didn't care if a little more was smashed. After all, he didn't even have underwear on him now, so it was up to them.

Thinking about this and that, Bell fell asleep again during the inspection, and before falling asleep, he heard his mother's anxious voice.

"What's wrong with him!?"

...

Once again waking up, Bell found himself back home, with his parents sitting not far away chatting.

"Darling, why are you in such a hurry to leave the hospital? You should have let Bell stay in the hospital for observation for a while longer," William said somewhat discontentedly.

This afternoon, while he was working, he suddenly received a message from his wife. The message said that their son Bell had woken up! William was so happy that he jumped up from his chair.

He didn't say a word and just put aside his work, quickly tidied up, and came to the Saint Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Maladies through the fireplace.

But when he arrived at the ward where his wife and son were, he found no one inside! This frightened him, and he quickly found a hospital staff member to inquire about the situation, only to be told that his wife and son had already been discharged and gone home!?

William really wanted to grab his wife's ear and ask her what she was thinking.

It's not like they couldn't afford the hospital fees, so why rush to leave the hospital? Bell had just woken up, what if something else happened? In William's view, whether there was a problem or not, they should stay in the hospital for at least two months.

"I wanted to! But Bell woke up less than two hours ago and completely destroyed three rooms. The therapist said Bell's body is very healthy and no longer needs observation. For the safety of other patients, Bell is absolutely not allowed to stay in the hospital anymore."

Elena was also dissatisfied. If possible, she didn't want to leave the hospital.

Those therapists, when her son was unconscious, they were still saying they had never seen such a condition and didn't know when he would wake up. But when her son woke up, they just casually checked him a couple of times and said he didn't need observation anymore!? How could there be such irresponsible people!

If there was a place to complain, she would definitely complain about the therapist's attitude.

"..."

...

After waking up, Bell felt a bit hungry. His parents nearby obviously hadn't noticed that Bell was awake and were still chatting away.

Bell wanted to remind them, but thinking of his experience in the hospital before, he hesitated and dared not speak. Bell carefully turned his little head, surveying the place he was in now.

He found himself in a spacious room.

In the center of the room was a large bed, the one Bell was lying on now. There was a simple table and a few chairs around, and besides that, there were no other furnishings in the room. In the corner of the room, there was a pile of toys.

It seemed this was his bedroom. But this bedroom was really big! Did his family have a lot of money?

Feeling the hunger in his stomach, Bell finally spotted a bottle on the table near his parents, and it was full of milk.

He stared at the bottle, feeling saliva starting to dribble.

"Ah ~ I want to drink!" Bell thought.

And then something incredible happened again, the bottle slowly floated towards Bell.

Bell watched expectantly as the bottle floated over, thinking, 'Come on~ come on~'.

The speed of the bottle's flight did indeed increase, and it "whooshed" right in front of Bell's eyes, then "bang," it hit the wall and shattered.

'My milk...'
