Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter V Chapter 172

Alice was silent for a moment.

"Mothers... Don't you want to tell us?" Elysia asked behind her back.

Elysia slowly moved to Alice's side. With his eyes clear and a worried expression, he looked at Alice.

Alice turned her head left and to the right looked at her two daughters sitting beside her.

He doubted. What he should tell them. Both are his daughters. But in his heart there was still a bit of anxiety. The past trauma that once incised the wound in his heart had still not fully recovered.

Although they were his daughters, they were not his flesh and blood. It was hard for Alice to tell her secrets. Reincarnation and the world of the immortals, could he believe Echidna and Elysia?

Echidna was a Demon King of the Dragon race. He was so strong that he was even stronger than himself who had already entered the Immortal Realm realm. But what made him more hesitant was that Echidna was someone who had once been the right hand of the demon king Thypon. What if something happens and she turns away from it?

While Elysia was an elf from the Silver elf lineage. Although she considers Alice as her mother, it all happens because of their relationship in the illusionary world.

Alice glanced at one of Elysia's hands.

There is a symbol of the messenger of the Evil God Erebos. Alice did not understand why the symbol had disappeared, but she could faintly feel a hint of Erebos' power within Elysia. She was afraid that Elysia would actually stand on a different side. He did not want the secret he was telling to be a dagger that would later threaten him and his family.

Alice turned her face and then she looked down.

At first glance Echidna saw a look of doubt in her mother's eyes. He clenched his teeth in anger. Not to Alice but to herself.

That memory was still clearly stored in his head as he and Alice fought fiercely. That thrilling feeling and fist of his still remembered with everything he had done to Alice back then. He still kept the memory fragment as Alice lay stiffly on his arm.

Echidna closed her eyes and turned around. He held his slightly trembling arm. "If you don't want to say it, that's okay." He then turned around with a fake smile.

Elysia glanced at Echidna and looked at Alice again. His lips opened as if he wanted to say something. But he resigned his intention. Elysia releases Alice's arm.

Just like Echidna. Elysia smiled broadly revealing her teeth. "Hehe.what can I do if I don't want to say it. Come on, brother, let's eat again. Before the sun goes down, we'd better enjoy this picnic."

The two of them leave Alice.

Alice raised her hands and wanted to hold them back but her mixed feelings held back her movements.

Both of his hands were holding empty air. They swung back to his side.

Limply. His feelings became unbecoming.

In his heart he asked himself. Is it so hard for me to trust them, even though we have been together all this time.

Qin Ao Shuang's satisfied smile flashed across his head making him flinch. The woman he once considered a friend turned out to be a two-faced figure who did not even have the heart to slit her throat.

Alice shook her head. "No! They are not the same! They are my daughters."

Alice fell silent beside the pile of stones.

For a long time he struggled with his worries. Elysia and Echidna saw her getting anxious but they were also reluctant to approach Alice.

Highlighting Alice's eyes earlier also gave the two a hint of grief.

"Mama..."

"Mother...."

Until the sun was at the end of the horizon, Alice slapped both of her cheeks quite hard. He also stood from his place.

In silence he stepped up and sat down in front of his two daughters.

Alice had convinced herself. Echidna and Elysia are his daughters. Although they are not blood-bound, at least both sincerely choose her and consider her as their mother/mama.

Alice scratched the back of her neck. "I will tell you everything."

Lousy. He lifted his head and looked at his two daughters.

The eyes of Elysia and Echidna widened. They're really happy.

"Really mother? I-mom don't have to push myself."

"Hmmm~" Alice shook her head. "I don't know how to tell it, but you won't understand. So, I want you to close your eyes."

Stories about his first life and both. Alice doubted that they could understand what she was going to say. Therefore, he decided to send his memories directly into their heads.

In addition, Alice has not been able to convince herself with Nyx and Fee. Both are with them now. Nyx lives in the sea of her soul while Fee hides in her shadow.

Nyx is a goddess who is the sister of Erebos. Although they are now hostile, blood is thicker than water. Alice's goal is to eliminate Erebos. Nyx could have iba then hesitated and then blocked it. That's just a possibility. But Alice was someone who was calculating before acting.

Another thing with Fee. A wolf from Ard or another different world. Little did he know about Fee. Even Fee's strength had not been fully seen. He felt that Fee was not much different from him. He was a careful person to the point of hiding his true strength.

Elysia and Echidna begin to close their eyes.

~

Many magnificent buildings of metal and glass that stand high up to touch the sky. The train, also made of strange metal, moves without magic or an animal pulling it.

Elysia and Echidna looked at the whole scene in amazement but were puzzled.

The world as they see it. Just this time they saw such a strange world.

"Maybe you won't believe it, but this is the world in my first life."

""first?""

Alice communicates with them through the mind.

"Yes. Look over there. That woman is me."

A building that is not so tall. Inside was a woman with shoulder-length black hair wearing a long, white jacket.

"This woman... is mother/mama?"

Both of them wore expressions of disbelief and wonder. How could their mother/mama be a weak woman. They did not even feel the same aura as the Alice they knew.

As Alice had expected that they would definitely not understand.

"Before I die and reincarnate into the second world, this woman is me in my first life. My name is Seo Min Ah. A Doctor in one of the hospitals."

"Reincarnation? Firrst? Both?" Echidna muttered softly. It seems he has started to catch everything. "That means..this is mama's third life? Aren't we?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Little by little, Alice recounts her first life to Elysia and Echidna.

He told me about his daily activities, his work and a little about the earth he lived on.

Elysia and Echidna were very serious about listening to Alice. They did not interrupt a single word and continued to witness the picture of Alice's life in her first life.

Sometimes they are amazed and amazed by Alice's work as a surgeon. But every now and then they were also saddened as they began to hear Alice living alone in that world.

They wanted to call the woman who was in front of their eyes and hug her tightly.

Seo Min Ah fights hard every day. His job as a surgeon is so hard especially when getting emergency patients.

One operation takes at least two to three hours. Seo Min Ah even sometimes has to stay up late and endure sleepiness when the hospital calls her because of a patient.

It was like water flowing into the hearts of Elysia and Echidna. They do not expect the hard life of their mother/mama in his first life.

Seo Min Ah who sometimes fell asleep while leaning her head on the table made their chest become tight.

At work life is so hard. When returning home waiting is just a quiet and gloomy room. The two even wondered if the house that Seo Min Ah lived in deserved to be called a 'house'?

Seo Min Ah's life story makes them pity especially the last time when Seo Min Ah died in an accident. Until the end of life, their mother/mama works hard even though they sometimes complain. Unfortunately, Seo Min Ah does not have the backrest to spill her grievances.

Unprepared. Alice immediately showed her second life to her two daughters.

"Mother/mama..ini..where?" Asked them when they saw the sight of the old huts before their eyes.

"Is this the life of my mother?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Where is the mother then?"

Alice chuckles. "That little girl over there standing next to that old grandpa in shabby clothes is me."

Like a flying dagger that suddenly appeared and stuck their hearts.

"Mom must be kidding, right?"

"No Elysia, that shabby-clothed girl is me. In this second life, I was a poor little girl living with an old old grandpa."

"Can we end it...." Echidna said slowly.

After seeing the bitterness of her mother's previous life, Echidna felt that she could no longer see more of her mother's suffering.

"Is this also one of the reasons you don't want to tell us?"

"No. That's not. Elysia, Echidna. You don't have to be sad. It's just my second life and it's all gone. For the reason why I don't want to tell you guys.., I guess you'll find the answer when you look at everything."
