Aunt May (edited)

Chapter 8: Aunt May

Aiden, who had fallen asleep due to the system, had no idea that only after one day the rescue team arrived at the plane crash site. 

The news of the abnormal plane crash made headlines for months on every news channel, and it was also a mystery to everyone that there was no emergency message sent from the plane before the incident.

Also, this was shocking news to them, as they found only one survivor, who was found in a near-death state and was already in a coma, with doctors having no idea when he would wake up. Generally, if by some unfortunate circumstance a plane crash happens, there should be many survivors found.

The world was also shocked to find that one of the greatest doctors of all mankind, Alice Cross, had lost her life in this incident, and the only survivor, who was in a coma, was actually her son Aiden Cross, who was known to be a genius.

People all around the world came to attend her funeral, and in honor of her and all the innocent lives lost, people all over the world held a mournful silence for one minute.

Alicia Cross, Aiden's big sister, was currently sitting on a chair in front of a hospital bed, and on the bed, there was an extremely handsome boy sleeping peacefully, though his body seemed a little thin.

Alicia had dark circles under her eyes, and there were tears on her beautiful face. She looked at her brother lying on the bed, whose eyes were still closed.

"Brother, when will you wake up? It's been almost three months since Mom left me all alone in this world. If you don't wake up, I don't know what I will do." She started crying while holding his hands and recalling the day her life turned into hell.

**Three months earlier**

On the day of the incident, Alicia was currently wearing a face pack on her face and getting her nails done as she planned a surprise for her mom and cute little brother Aiden.

She was going to pick them up from the airport, and after getting ready, she walked into her garage. Out of many luxurious cars, she chose a blue one that she liked, drove to the airport, and waited for her family.

She was ready to give them a surprise with flowers in her hands and was excited about it.

Their time of arrival came, but the plane didn't arrive. She began to feel uneasy in her heart and directly asked the staff why the plane hadn't arrived.

They said they didn't know why the plane was late, and they weren't able to contact the plane.

Hearing this, Alicia sat on a bench and quickly dialed her mom's number on her phone, calling it multiple times. But even after calling several times, she didn't get any reply, and the uneasiness in her heart started to grow more and more.

After thinking about what to do for 5 minutes, she decided to call her aunt, who was a high-ranking military officer and was also her mother's childhood friend.

Her aunt had visited her and her little brother many times, and even though she was not their real aunt, both she and her little brother loved her very much.

When Alicia called her aunt and told her about the situation, her aunt told her to wait there, as she would be there shortly. She also assured her by saying that she had already sent some people to search for the plane and locate its position.

An hour and a half later, a military helicopter landed on the helipad at the airport, and the airport staff quickly began to check on it.

As the helicopter door opened, a beautiful woman with long red hair, red eyes, and a fit, slightly muscular body stepped out. Her boobs were not too big but were on the smaller side, with a perky ass. Her height seemed to reach almost 6 feet, just a few centimeters shorter, and her well-trained, slightly muscular body beneath her clothes not only enhanced her beauty but also made her look more commanding in her black military outfit. Four women, dressed similarly and holding automatic rifles, followed her.

The red-haired woman, who seemed to be the highest-ranking officer, gave orders to the women around her, who were also beautiful but paled in comparison to her.

The airport staff was shocked to learn that a general was present and quickly began to lead them to where Alicia was.

As the red-haired woman walked, she noticed a beautiful girl with black hair and black eyes who looked almost like her big sister Alice but was a bit younger. Alicia, who was currently sitting on a bench with a distressed expression, was trying to call her mother, only to meet the same result.

Noticing the commotion from a distance, Alicia quickly began to run in her Aunt May's direction.

Aunt May, noticing her niece running toward her, instructed the four women beside her to refrain from apprehending the intruder.

Alicia ran toward her aunt, and her aunt opened her arms to welcome her as Alicia hugged her tightly. 

Aunt May, who noticed Alicia's worry, hugged her back and slowly began rubbing her back to calm her down.

The four military officers beside her, who noticed the usually cold, emotionless general—a general known to be colder than ice and fiercer than fire—now saw a small, almost unnoticeable smile on her face as she hugged the young girl.

If they hadn't been with her for a few years, they wouldn't have noticed the difference.

As Alicia began to calm down, Aunt May spoke in a cold, emotionless voice, but with a hint of softness in it.

"Calm down, Alicia."

"Your aunt is here; nothing is going to happen. Leave everything to your aunt."
