Chapter 12: Kiana's Illness

That's why she believes in that memory so firmly.

However, this self-protection ended the moment Kiana woke up.

However, due to the self-protection mechanism, the patient will always firmly believe in that memory.

Therefore, for the patient's family, this is also a long process of treatment and counseling.

Kiana raised her head and looked at her husband, who was looking at her with caring eyes.

Suddenly, she cried even more sadly...

"I knew it, Captain. You still don't trust me! I'm really not sick! There really is a disaster like Honkai in the other parallel world!"

"Yes, yes, there is Honkai, there is Honkai. Our Kiana is the hero who saves the world." Xiang Lai could only say comfortingly.

"I've told you so many times, Captain, you still don't believe me. I'm not sick at all! I'm not mentally ill!"

"Who said our Kiana is sick? I'm going to deal with them."

'I am Kiana... After the Honkai, I accidentally traveled to a happy world.'

'Here I will be given unexpected surprises one after another!'

'But there is only one thing that makes me unhappy: the captain in this world. He always thinks I am sick, and a psychopath...'

............…

At the table in the living room, Siegfried and Cecilia looked silently at the medical records that had been sent to them.

Cecilia said worriedly, "Is that what's going on?"

"I thought your belated rebellious period had finally arrived, but I didn't expect that you, Kiana, had gone through so much alone in China this year."

Kiana, who had been kneeling on the sofa in the living room, looking well-behaved and obedient, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

'It looks like I've gotten away with it for now.' Kiana looked at Cecilia, who was originally gentle and virtuous, but now her face seemed a little flustered and at a loss.

'I just feel the warmth in my heart...'

"Mom... I'm fine. Look, I'm still alive and kicking!" Before she could finish her words, Kiana jumped up from the sofa.

She also did a backflip and suddenly appeared in front of Cecilia, smiling brightly.

"My daughter has been as healthy and strong as a calf since she was little." Cecilia's face showed some relief.

Kiana's expression twisted slightly. 'What kind of metaphor is this?'

"Please forgive me. I lost my temper with you just now without knowing the reason. You have really suffered this year."

"Mom...Mom!" Kiana was so moved that her eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't help but throw herself into Cecilia's gentle arms again.

Cecilia gently stroked Kiana's head again: "Then our savior, can you tell Mom about the wonderful adventure you experienced in another world?"

"Eh?" Kiana raised her head in surprise, "Mom, are you willing to listen to me about the other world?"

"Why not? That was also a wonderful adventure that my dear daughter had experienced..." Cecilia smiled gently, and that smile contained the tenderness of the Virgin Mary.

Kiana's eyes suddenly sparkled: "I'm telling you, Mom is in that world..."

The relationship between this mother and daughter is so harmonious that the unfamiliarity and alienation that Kiana originally felt towards Cecilia quickly dissipated as she talked endlessly and Cecilia listened attentively.

However, the atmosphere between the three men on the side was a little strange.

Kevin sat half of his butt on the stool, not daring to move. He tried to keep his breathing as low as possible, trying hard to reduce his presence.

Siegfried was watching with an expression half angry and half relieved, while Xiang Lai was also sitting there on pins and needles.

He was angry because, from his perspective, the bastard in front of him took advantage of his daughter's confused memory and mental illness.

He tricked his own stinky girl into his hands!

The other half admired him because this boy named Xiang Lai not only saved his daughter's life but also took good care of her.

Kiana was raised to be plump and white, and she looked even healthier than when she just left home.

Plus, he was successful when he first came here, so he gave this guy a successful warning. (At least that's what Siegfried thought)

So now most of the anger in Siegfried's heart had dissipated.

If the look at the beginning was like looking at a thief whose treasure was stolen, then the look now was like looking at a son-in-law who is not so pleasing to the eye.

The reason why Xiang Lai was on pins and needles is simple. Not only did he abduct the other party's daughter without permission, but he also showed off his strength in front of his father-in-law right from the start. (Or so he thought)

He might be the only person in history to offend his father-in-law so badly.

In short, the atmosphere between the three men at the scene became strangely awkward.

Until Siegfried slowly took out a bottle of Erguotou from the suitcase.

(TL: 'Erguotou' is a type of strong Chinese liquor (baijiu) that is traditionally made from fermented sorghum. It is clear and typically has a high alcohol content, ranging from 50% to 60% alcohol by volume (ABV), though some variants may be slightly lower. Known for its strong, potent flavor, it is one of the most popular and affordable types of baijiu in China, especially in Beijing.)

"I bought this when I just got off the plane. Would you like to drink some?" Siegfried shook the bottle in his hand towards Xiang Lai. "Are there any snacks to go with the wine? Let me try some of your country's specialties."

"Oh oh oh! I'll go prepare it right away!" Xiang Lai hurried to the kitchen. Fortunately, there were still a lot of ready-made things in the kitchen, so some just needed to be heated up.

Cecilia moved her ears, obviously hearing the noise coming from Siegfried.

She took the time to glare at Siegfried helplessly, the meaning very simple: "You're drinking again?"

Siegfried bent over subconsciously when Cecilia stared at him, but he stood up quickly, with a look that contained 70% determination and 30% flattery.

The message to Cecilia was also very clear: "Am I drinking? No, I'm just testing my future son-in-law!"

Cecilia sighed lightly and let him off this time. It was a rare opportunity for Siegfried to indulge himself.

With a bang, he unscrewed the lid of the Erguotou...

He took a sip of it intoxicatedly: "This wine is good, it has a unique exotic flavor."

Siegfried's original intention of buying this bottle of wine was actually to avoid dealing with the rascal who had swindled his daughter away.

It was meant to be used as a weapon to bash the opponent's head in...

At this moment, he was undoubtedly enjoying himself, and the strange stories told by his daughter became the best appetizer.

As he was just chewing peanuts and listening to the beginning of Kiana's story, he quickly couldn't listen anymore...

How come, at the very beginning of the story, his wife Cecilia was killed by his adopted little daughter, Sirin?

Then his little daughter Sirin also died? He was severely injured, and his eldest daughter was also lost?

The most important thing is, my dear daughter, why are you a clone in this story?

After hearing this, Siegfried smacked his lips in disbelief, saying the story was a tragedy and full of nonsense.
