Chapter 3: Her Family

In the reception area, A handsome but expressionless teen was busy speaking with a red faced nurse to find out where his grandfather's VIP room was.

He was in a rush this morning and forgot ask his father before he left for school. The surroundings felt heavy as a result of his abundant mana. A nurse suddenly rushed to the front desk.

He frowned at the staffs poor manners but it was none his buisness, just as he was about go find his grandfather's room he heard a few words that stopped him in his tracks.

"Sir, is this Luciarn Wisteria...-

That's... Lilys father, the head of the Wisteria family! He turned his head slightly to inspect the nurses expression, he felt worry the moment he guessed who this was about.

His expression turned solemn as he easedropped for the crux of the matter.

-Sir! Your daughter is awake!"

His expression froze and he was shocked to his core, this girl... She woke up! He needed to speak with his grandfather urgently!

The situation between his and the Wistarias family was about to take a stormy turn. He felt mixed emotions as he walked to his grandfather's room in silence.

On a high rise building roof, a few men that looked younger than their age and were currently a the height of their careers were having having a friendly chat during lunch.

A young looking man with a gentle atmosphere was chatting with another man with red hair and red eyes. The man had short, hazel hair and green eyes, he had a smile that did not reach his eyes as he talked.

The red haired man raved on with a fire in his eyes as he talked about his recent fights and the man with a gentle smile noded every now and then.

"Luciarn! fight with me! I can't find anyone strong to fight with."

" Your offer is tempting but I must decline, Reed"

Luciarn sighed, his friend was honest but his constant batteling can cause problems, at least his smart enough to not provoke the wrong people.

He looked down at his reflection in his glass and his pair of green eyes reminded him of the bright pair green eyes that used to look up to him. His son inherited their mother's red eyes while his daughter inherited his own.

He felt a deeply rooted regret. He should have paid more attention to his children now his son has closed of his off from others and his daughter is lying in a hospital with a low chance of ever waking up.

And that family, they instigated that boy into convincing Lily into marriage, but they did even wait a week after she entered the hospital to revoke the engagement.

That family is scum he will never allow them near his daughter if she ever wakes up,

no, when she wakes up.

Reed looked at Luciarn gazing into his glass absent mindedly. He could already tell who who his friend was thinking about.

He wanted to help distract him from the negative thoughts plaguing his mind.

"Brother in law~ fight mee~"

Luciarn looked up to his friend begging with puppy dog eyes (Maybe I should just use him as a punching bag) Luciarn thought but his assistant suddenly walked up to him with a tenses expression, "Sir it's your daughters hospital..."

Luciarn and the others around him froze.

Luciarn Wisteria took the phone and walked of alone to talk in private. Another person who heard the previous statement watched Luciarn Wisteria leave with an unreadable expression.

Luciarn had a solemn face but his eyes betrayed him, showing his worry.

"Sir, is this Luciarn Wisteria?"

"Yes this is Luciarn Wisteria, is this red crystal hospital?"

"Yes Sir, this is Red crystal hospital."

"Could you please get to the point of this call"

He felt this was dragging on forever.

"Yes its about your daughter, Sir! Your daughter is awake!"

"What!?"

The others turned to see Luciarn running to the elavator. Most had worried expressions and some hopeful.
