Mixed Blessing System

As Lothur finished bathing in his room, Elise suddenly opened the door of that place with an expression that carried anger and the typical grace of those before playing tricks on other people.

She genuinely did not want to have any contact with a scumbag like Lothur. Still, today Viktoria had ordered her to come to this place and observe his situation.

For this, she felt anger.

However, as much as she disliked checking on the condition of the only good-for-nothing in this family, she could not help but consider taking advantage of the situation to play with him.

Since she was already in 'hell,' then why not find a benefit from this place?

And precisely because of that, she had a silly smile on her beautiful face.

'Let's see what I do with you today, scumbag...' She pondered while entering that room.

However, as she came face to face with the bed that took up almost the entire space of that place, Elise frowned her eyebrows in shock and surprise.

"Lothur?"

'Where is he?" She wondered doubtfully, not understanding how he was not here.

Considering Lothur's situation the night before, he should be lying down, feeling pain all over his body. So, how come he was not around?

She then considered the only plausible thing. 'Did someone take him from this place?'

But as she walked in, she smelled a horrible odor coming from the bed, which had no sheet at the time, only a sizeable wet mark with the design of a human silhouette.

'What is that odor? What happened here?' She wondered but could not find any hypothesis in her mind.

But that was not surprising. After all, upon entering his bathroom, Lothur had taken all the dirty sheets and thrown them in the trash. So, only the remaining odor of his body's impurities and sweat remained on that bed.

And without seeing such evidence, Elise could not assume that such an odor was related to the advancement Lothur had recently undergone.

'Well, I have to get back...' She was thinking of something when she heard a strange sound coming from the bathroom and promptly assumed a fighting stance.

Lothur was gone, and Elise knew that such a situation could not be the Frost family's doing. Otherwise, Viktoria would not have ordered her to come to this place.

So, she immediately thought the worst, not finding Lothur in this place and hearing a strange noise coming from the bathroom.

Pa!

She used part of her strength to kick the closed door of that bathroom, quickly making her way into it.

"Ahhhh!"

But upon entering that place, Elise came face to face with Lothur, who at the moment was utterly naked while using a white towel to dry his hair.

And seeing that, Lothur was surprised by the unexpected visit of this woman, who was now looking at his crotch strangely.

Gulp!

He heard a distinct sound as this woman looked at his little brother, who was almost as big as a grown man's forearm.

After a few seconds in silence, Elise suddenly returned to her rationality and shouted at him. "You beast!"

"How can you stand in such a shameful way in front of me?"

"I was taking a shower inside my bathroom with the door closed. How do you think I would be?" He asked in a provocative tone, looking with interest at that blushing woman.

"That..." She did not know what to say, feeling that there indeed was a mistake here.

And as she took a glance at Lothur's exposed body part, she felt she should not be there and simply ran away, ignoring the mission Viktoria had passed her.

As for Lothur, he continued doing the same as before that woman's forced entry into his bathroom, wondering what he would do next. 'Well, my dear wife came to visit me last night, concerned about my situation...'

'I feel I must lessen the fear in her heart.' He smiled, remembering Viktoria's conversation with the doctor who had attended him.

At the time of Viktoria's visit, Lothur was passed out. However, he had heard all the comments made by the people inside his room.

Hence, he was interested in seeing his stunning wife, perhaps using this opportunity to get closer to her.

...

After dressing, Lothur quickly made his way toward the part of the Frost residence where the patriarch's family lived.

And knowing the way to Viktoria's room, he immediately reached that place.

Pa! Pa!

He knocked twice on the door of her room, waiting outside with a smile on his face and dressed in a typical suit for young people of his age in this world.

"What do you..." Viktoria opened the door already saying something, but upon seeing the person standing there, she immediately fell silent, with her mouth slightly open and a strange look on her face.

"Lothur!"

"How can you be here? You should be in bed!" She said this as she advanced against him, quickly grabbing one of this young man's wrists.

"Dear, if you want to touch your husband's body, you don't have to be so hasty. We can do it slowly..." He whispered to her as he watched her check his condition.

But Viktoria was so surprised by Lothur's sudden recovery that she did not even mind his comment.

She then muttered in disbelief. "Your body looks in excellent condition..."

After saying that, she pulled Lothur into her room and closed the door.

She then placed him against one of the side walls there, watching him cautiously. "What have you done? How did you recover from so many injuries so quickly?"

"I don't know." He said earnestly.

There was no reason for him to try to give Viktoria a better answer than that. He would not be able to convince her of anything anyway. After all, he understood nothing of spiritual cultivation, the only possible explanation for his recovery.

And while it would be interesting for him not to be in this current position, he had no choice but to confront Viktoria. That was because even if he tried to hide, the Frost family would find out about his miraculous recovery.

But he did not want to waste time in this place pretending to be in bed. So, he could only try to deal with the situation head-on by showing Viktoria his unexpected recovery.

"Don't you know?"

"Lothur, this explanation is not good enough!" She spoke in a louder tone, slowly approaching him. "Nobody recovers like that without something significant having happened..."

"Speak the truth!"

He then clenched his fists in frustration but did not back down against this woman. Instead, he stepped forward to stand even closer to her. "Viktoria, how could I explain something I don't understand myself?"

"I woke up feeling a little better, despite the pain in my arms and legs..." He made some gestures, indicating where he 'felt' pain. "I thought maybe you or that doctor had given me some powerful medicine."

"But it seems that wasn't the case."

She took another step forward, standing only twenty centimeters away from Lothur. "You're hiding something."

He then opened his arms and said with a serious expression. "Whether you believe me or not is up to you, dear. I'm right here. Why don't you show me this impressive talent of yours that everyone talks about and find out what happened to me?"

After hearing this, her eyes sharpened, but she did not know what to do. Lothur's cultivation was still non-existent. There was no remnant of medicine or pills in his body other than those used by the doctor the night before.

Other than that, apart from the recovery itself, nothing justified his sudden recuperation.

Finding no hint of it, Viktoria felt a slight disturbance in her mind. 'Was that truly a miracle? Maybe he has a special constitution that helps him recover quickly?'

'Hmm, the day before, he looked pretty good when he left for the academy with my sister, even considering he was hit by a carriage the day before yesterday...'

"Sigh..." She sighed in defeat, finally retracting her aura, which inexplicably did not affect Lothur.

"It seems you have more luck than I had imagined."

"Well, I'll let it go this time, but if something strange like that happens again, I hope you have a good justification for me..."

"Now, since you are healed, get to the academy before you miss the day's first class."
