Chapter 131 - "His Name"
Grandpa Yofan was powerless, but it didn"t mean no one could save Elliana. There was still one small variable that everyone ignored at one point.
Ainsley. Ainsley Sloan, the 18"th family head of the Sloan Family.
The only one who could reverse the situation if she woke up and proved to the others that she already bonded with the sacred guardian, even taming him.
But would she wake up in time?
The fourth day, the day Elliana was going to undergo a trial. 8 a.m when the maids had just scrambled to the main mansion to do their work.
Inside a silent, tiny bedroom without people...a baby slowly opened her eyes.
"Mmm…" Ainsley blinked. A groan slipped out of her mouth. Her eyesight was still blurry. Her mind was still cloudy, as if everything she just experienced was a dream.
Strangely, her body was light. Her heart...was also as light as her body. It was so refres.h.i.+ng. Feels like someone cleansed her heart, cleaned her doubts and negativity.
What"s going on, though? She had no answer to that.
Ainsley blinked once more. Her b.u.t.terfly-like eyelashes fluttered lightly as her creamy ceiling came into view.
….I am back?
The baby blinked for the third time. She lifted her right arm, trying to rub her eyes, but it surprisingly fell back to the crib.
Plop.
Her arm didn"t have any energy whatsoever, leaving the baby dumbfounded.
Since when she was this weak? Surely it"s not because of a chronic illness, right? She just had her soul entering Code-C"s memories...right, wait.
Ainsley paused. She squinted her eyes as she silently looked at the ceiling.
"How long has it been since I entered Code-C"s memory?"
Ainsley pondered. She truly didn"t know how much time pa.s.sed when she was inside Code-C"s sea of memories.
Has it been a few minutes? An hour? A few hours? A day? Or maybe...a few days?
At the thought of remaining unconscious for a few days, Ainsley laughed bitterly and shook her head.
Ey, that"s impossible. Maybe it has only been a few hours…
The baby thought she would die of hunger if she remained without a soul for a few days. Her body would rot without a soul, right?
Little did she know that a certain fairy of time kept her body fresh. It"s just that...he didn"t bother to control the time in the Sloan Family"s main mansion, letting the chaos to happen.
It"s not like he wanted to watch a drama...but well, it"s nice to set up a stage for his best friend"s lover to prove herself, right?
Not knowing a certain fairy of time"s thoughts, Ainsley tried to lift her arm once more. This time, she did it. Her arm didn"t fall back listlessly to the crib. The next thing she knew, she could also move her body parts.
Head. Neck. Arms. Waist. Legs.
In no time, Ainsley regained her sense of touch, and her special abilities also poured back into her body. In other words, it seemed that when her soul left her body, her abilities also followed her soul.
So...the keen hearing ability..was it her ability or this body"s ability? Maybe it was this body"s ability since a keen hearing was related to physical ability, a concrete one.
Either way, Ainsley didn"t have time to ponder about her abilities. The baby hurriedly moved her limbs, and after she could control them well just like usual, only then she rose from the crib.
"Hwaaaa…" the baby yawned and stretched like a lazy cat. A teardrop gathered at the edge of her blue eyes, looking similar to a crystalized ore. Wait. Speaking of a cat…
Ainsley abruptly turned her head around and her eyes immediately caught sight of a furry cat stretching its body. When he stretched, he looked like a high heel...but with fur.
"Hmm, Cwode-C?" Ainsley carefully called out to her future partner. It was rare for her to be this cautious...of course she would. She just experienced Code-C"s life...how could she not feel a bit guilty?
It"s as if she peeked into the deepest part of this sacred guardian, striping him naked. She felt guilty, but at the same time, she was glad. She was glad that she could understand Code-C and even carried his dream with her.
And now, it"s time to fulfil this furry friend"s wish.
"Awoooo." Code-C replied with his unique meowing sound. The cat"s black eyes twinkled as he swayed his fountain-like tail, brus.h.i.+ng it against the baby"s face.
Swish. Swish.
Purrrr. Purrrr.
Ah, the cat was going to act spoiled again.
Ainsley rolled her eyes but somehow, her lips didn"t curl into a disdainful sneer. She tugged the corner of her lips into an innocent smile.
"Hehehe, Cwode-C...now Ain ish fwully bwonded with ywou! (Now Ain is fully bonded with you!)" The baby exclaimed with an excitement in her voice.
Indeed, she could feel the invisible bond between her heart and this cat"s heart.
Ba-thump. Ba-thump.
The sound of her heart beating was in sync with the cat"s heartbeat.
At that moment, Ainsley"s chest felt warm. She could feel a string of thread seeping out of her chest and slowly penetrated Code-C"s heart.
She successfully created her bond. The foundation to tame the cat. But of course, this wouldn"t be enough. Before she used her power of luck and charm to trigger Code-C"s bloodline…
She had to name him, right?
The baby broke into a grin. She rubbed her tiny palm against Code-C"s face and softly muttered.
"Youl nwame...ish nwot Cwode-C. (Your name...is not Code-C.)" Ainsley brushed her fingers among the cat"s thick fur.
"Youl nwame shall bwe…(your name shall be…)" The baby inhaled.
"Cwellino. (Cellino)."
