Chapter 16
On a random day,
Chelsea and Lily were making new dresses for their customers, they were at their home making them since the old lady Kalie was busy with some other stuff so she told them to do it at their home instead.
They didn't mind and were making dresses meticulously, Chelsea's hands had become quite dexterous over the time and she had long surpassed the level Old lady Kalie, but she still thought of her as her teacher.
It was thanks to Old lady Kalie that Chelsea could even support herself in the beginning when she was all alone in the world and Lily was too small, so to repay her, Chelsea had started to take less profits for herself.
She had already had enough money and jewelry which she could sell, and she thought of this as repaying the old lady's favor as well.
Whether she wanted to admit it or not but Aunt Kalie's condition had been worsening with time, Chelsea suspected that she had breast cancer or pneumonia or Asthma, she wasn't a doctor so she was not sure herself but the symptoms were similar.
Chelsea was truly helpless, the level of doctors was not so advanced in this world, and Alchemists were too expensive to hire even for her with all the money.
She could not afford to spend so much as well, while the old lady had done a favor on her, Chelsea could not just drain her savings on her, she had to look after Lily as well.
So this was the best, she made sure that Old lady Kalie didn't suffer much in her old age due to money by letting her keep more money she made out of selling the designer dresses.
Chelsea could feel the importance of money in this life, she now knew why her parents always used to scold her in past life about wasting money and were so careful with money.
It turns out that the world she used to imagine being a garden of flowers was not as beautiful but instead had many thorns…
She had to think a lot now that she earned money herself on how to efficiently spend it, she was thankful that her parents were raising her right in her past life,

After completing the dresses, both Chelsea and Lily wanted to take a little stroll before they could start with their regular daily training.
So they decided to go out and walk around to get some fresh air.
Their work was done and it was still some time before their daily training in the forests.
But, as they were taking a stroll chatting with each other, something unexpected happened.
They once again met with Kai, who seemed more formally dressed today than usual and seemed to have a serious expression on his face.
"Oh? Hey, Kai! How have you been?" Chelsea greeted him, she had not seen him in a few days and was curious what he had been up to,
Lily also frowned, she had an ominous feeling that this guy in front of her was going to pull some stunt on them today and her instincts were right when Kai spoke.
"Chelsea…'
"Hmm?"
"Can you come with me for a moment, I want to talk to you alone." He said in a serious tone not minding the frowning Lily.
"Ah… is it something serious? Well, Lily, wait here for me. I need to talk with him."
Chelsea understood that he must have something important to discuss for his expression to be this stony and serious, so she also didn't delay in useless chatter and went along with him,
"But-!" Lily wanted to protest but shut herself when Chelsea gave her a glare.
She knew her sister was not going to listen but she couldn't allow to leave her sister alone with a man!
Lily gritted her teeth and decided to secretly follow them from a distance, she knew her sister was very strong and even a hundred of Kai's won't hold a candle to her but she just couldn't…
The thought of letting her sister go out with someone she didn't like just rubbed her in the wrong spot, if possible, she would like to murder Kai so as to avoid any future problems,
Her sister, Chelsea was a dense piece of rock who could not understand that Kai had feelings for her, but Lily very well did.
She had even witnessed the forbidden act of love at night when she was training, the couple in their neighborhood were so loud that she could not help but be curious and when she secretly saw what this forbidden at of cherry popping had, she almost lost her mind.
How the hell could a woman take something like that inside her!? She felt like puking there, she imagined her sister engaging in such a scene with some man,
NO! She would rather fight with her own sister to stop her, it is impossible, she will not let that happen even if her own sister wanted.
But in some corner of her mind, she had also imagined a scenario with herself and Chelsea in the place of the man and woman, and that seemed to send tingles of pleasure down her spine.
She didn't know what those feelings were truly, but she definitely wouldn't mind if her sister asked her to engage in this act, just the two of them… all alone…
So, the thought of Kai trying to screw her sister in the future boiled her blood, he was just a rabid dog who didn't even deserve to be in her sister's feet.
If today, Kai really asked her sister to engage in that act…
Lily looked down at the sharpened dagger in her pocket and her eyes turned colder than snow…
'Just try it once and I will remove your tool for good…' She thought with a dark intention as she continued to follow the pair.
