Chapter 653: Chapter 21 Do Not Go to Washington

"Virgil..." Lelia was quite surprised by the "dog-licking awakening" expression Virgil showed before her.

After so many years of marriage, this was the first time she had seen such an attitude from Virgil in front of her, and it really left her at a loss.

In the past, just a slight show of displeasure from her would have Virgil immediately submitting and kneeling, daring not to say anything more. Even if he disagreed with some of her actions, his feeble verbal resistance was already the limit; to be so firm or even implicitly mocking was something unheard of by her.

"Listen to me..."

Now that a major event was about to be accomplished, Virgil absolutely could not afford to disengage from the Faust Family. In the face of the family’s rise, Lelia’s tone finally softened, "Alright, I admit, I have indeed been somewhat capricious lately and haven’t been caring enough for you. It’s time we had a child. After the surgery, we should quickly prepare for pregnancy."

Lelia asked herself, this was already the most gentle and soft tone she could muster.

Who was she? She was Lelia Faust, the princess of 666 Hospital, a standout among the second generation of her family. Except for her gender, there was nothing she was inferior to Klein in. Whether it was capability, beauty, or status, no one in the hospital could compare to her.

Then wasn’t it normal for her to be proud of this? And wasn’t it normal for her to feel that others ought to look up to her? Someone like her was not meant to be equal to others. If Virgil didn’t have this special constitution, he could never have become her husband.

But in the next moment, Virgil spoke.

"If I were Alex, and you were Melody. If I lost the body that could endure the Demon Cursed Item... would you, like Melody, disregard everything else and also want to overcome the curse to meet me?"

From Alex and Melody, Virgil saw what mutual dedication was.

Even a Causal Law Curse... could not stop it!

However, when it involved the lives of innocents, they chose to stop, not willing to sacrifice others for their love!

Virgil, having an alcoholic father and being half Chinese, often faced discrimination and ridicule. At that time, Lelia, like a European noble lady, seemed unattainably lofty to Virgil.

Knowing it was poisonous, he still swallowed the bait whole.

"Of course, I would." Lelia knew exactly how to respond at such times, "You are my husband, after all."

"Jalen Eriphis."

The next moment, Virgil mentioned this name.

Lelia’s expression changed instantly.

"I know, he was your first love... and everyone in the hospital knows about it too. And my mother’s name was... Nie Xiuzhu, originally a subordinate of Renice Dailun."

"What are you trying to say by bringing this up now?"

"I was supposed to become a doctor at 666 Hospital. However, because Renice Dailun died, no one traced my whereabouts. I’m very clear about what you need."

At this point, the message was very clear.

"In fact, the Dalen Family had secretly approached me, because my mother had once served the Dalen Family, hoping I would join the Dalen camp. But I refused. I helped you nearly wipe out the Dalen bloodline my mother had sworn to serve."

"What are you trying to say?"

"Dr. Jalen, without me, you would’ve married him. Originally, if the Faust Family were merely a servant of the Dalen Family, a marriage alliance with the Eriphis Family would have been quite fitting. But you and I both know what happened afterward..."

The internal conflict within the Dalen Family, a struggle between the snipe and the clam, benefited the fisherman. The deputy dean’s re-election in the 21st century ended with Mephisto Faust’s victory.

He was aware, Jalen’s presence was an important reason Lelia had yet to have children with Virgil.

Virgil and Lelia, since their marriage, had intercourse only once a month, which was meticulously planned for her ovulation day. Apart from this calculated date, Virgil could only indulge himself through five self-service sessions, as Lelia would absolutely not let him touch even a finger of hers. If there was a special circumstance like a delayed menstruation,

the whole process was merely perfunctory seeding.

"Let me be clear, I’ve never had any inappropriate relations with Eriphis," Lelia immediately clarified. "I’m not that kind of person."

"I just wanted to say what I had in mind. I’ll go check the wards in the hospital now, and we can talk more after I come back home."

With that, Virgil departed.

Lelia’s body slowly leaned back.

Yes.

He was right.

Even for the sake of the family, she couldn’t suppress her aversion to surrendering her body to Virgil.

Just his appearance, which hardly differed from that of Chinese people, greatly displeased her. In her eyes, the Anglo-Saxon Caucasians with blonde hair and blue eyes were the superior race, far beyond any comparison with people of color. It was only for the future of the family that she married Virgil.

Deep down, whether it was the KKK or Nazi racial ideologies, she actually agreed with them quite strongly. And her maternal grandfather was a member of the KKK in the American South. People and races should not be equal by nature. With kings and slaves, the nobility of royalty is highlighted. It is unjust for the sufficiently powerful to be equal with the weak.

Become a Demon Host, becoming a slave to the dean, was that to be equal to others?

In her view, the gift to Virgil, allowing him to be immortal and possess an undying soul from this day forward, what more could he be dissatisfied with?

"Isn’t he really going to draw a department head to bring back Natsume Bandove?"

...

"Are you saying... your hospital wants to capture you?"

Inside the hotel, Melias listened to Natsume Bandove’s narrative.

"Yes."

"You’re being detained for experiments? Your sister is not resisting?"

"My sister thinks this is the best chance for us sisters to atone, but I want to atone for our father in my own way," Natsume Bandove looked at Melias, growing fonder of her, "So, I will definitely make it possible for Alex to meet with you and your mother."

Bandove glanced at Melody beside her and added, "Your mother, she loves you."

"And what about your mother?"

Mother...

Just hearing this word made Natsume Bandove’s heart ache.

"Children shouldn’t have to unconditionally accept their parents’ arrangements, right?" Melias said, "Even if they think it’s the best for you."

Natsume Bandove understood what Melias meant.

She had always been filled with melancholy and resistant to the trip to Washington.

But her will meant nothing to her mother.

"My mother is a person who once decided, will not compromise, right or wrong. Of course, she would never admit she’s wrong."

"That’s how it is..."

In this regard, Natsume Bandove questioned, she was not like her mother.

Her mother was actually a very extreme and even somewhat insane person, easily swinging from one extreme to another. Love fervently, hate fiercely; there was no middle ground. Being loved by her was a fortune, but if one day she fell out of love, it would turn into a curse.

Suddenly, Melias grasped Natsume Bandove’s hand and leaned closer.

"Run away quickly," Melias whispered. "If you continue to stay with us, you will encounter misfortune."

Natsume Bandove shook her head.

"I must stay by your side now."

As long as she left the side of Melias and her mother, she would be immediately captured by the hospital.

Using the Causality Curse Object came at a great cost and could not be used indefinitely.

But in the next moment, Melias said something to Natsume Bandove.

"Can you help me? Don’t go to Washington... If we go, if the three of us meet... something very terrible will happen..."
