Chapter 502 - Zhen-Zhen's Extraordinary Abilities
Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen and others already arrived in the City of Empire District Hospital. Matthew and Tristan were now being treated by the nurses and doctors.
Zhen-Zhen and Sophia were outside, sitting in the waiting area. Zhen-Zhen's eyes finally returned to their original color.
They waited for several minutes before the nurses called them. They immediately entered the private ward where Tristan and Matthew shared a room. That VIP ward was good for two patients.
When they settled inside, Sophia made sure to lock the door so that no one would enter without their consent. Zhen-Zhen and Tristan told them that they had something important to share with Sophia and Matthew.
"Okay, now tell us. I am eager to know what you are about to talk about," Matthew asked, darting his gaze back and forth between Zhen-Zhen and Tristan.
Sophia also did the same, silently watching them as she waited for who would speak up first.
"This is about Lillie's true identity…" Tristan started the conversation.
"The truth is… Lillie is not her true name. She is not the real daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Meyer. Lillie Meyer already passed away when she was still a child. My wife's real name is Zhen-Zhen."
Sophia and Matthew were both surprised to hear that. Seeing them becoming silent, Tristan continued speaking to them.
"It is true that I met her on Mt. Calypso. That was also the time we met Mr. and Mrs. Meyer. My wife doesn't have any identity so I asked the Meyer Family to adopt her and let her use their late daughter's identity."
"They were fond of her so they agreed right away. I did that because at that time, I was looking for a wife and it happened that Zhen-Zhen passed the qualification of the wife I was searching for. Aside from that, I was attracted to her because of her beauty."
"Matthew and I knew that the reason for asking Zhen-Zhen to be my wife was to secure my CEO's position. I was being pressured by my grandpa and threatened me that he would remove me as the CEO of the company if I would not get married soon or settle down with a woman."
Sophia arched her eyebrow upon hearing that. She had the urge to punch Tristan. So it was for the sake of his position that he asked Zhen-Zhen to be his wife… all for his own benefits.
"What a jerk!" Sophia murmured but Tristan, Zhen-Zhen, and Matthew still heard her.
"I'm sorry about that Sophia. I admitted I was a jerk that time. But I already changed. I love Zhen-Zhen with all my heart now. I can't live without her," Tristan said, feeling apologetic.
Zhen-Zhen just let out a soft giggle. Tristan had already explained those things to her before. She completely understood him. She was not mad anymore.
She was still grateful to him because he helped her adjust to this new world. He taught him lots of things and now she was living like an ordinary human being. She couldn't do this without Tristan's help.
This time Zhen-Zhen was the one who spoke up.
"Sophia, Matthew… will you hate me? Will you be afraid of me if I tell you now that I am not an ordinary human?" Zhen-Zhen asked them anxiously.
She was afraid that Sophia and Matthew would not treat her just like before once they learned the truth about her supernatural ability.
Matthew: "Of course not!"
Sophia: "No! I will not change! You are my friend. I don't care about that."
After saying those words, Matthew and Sophia met each other's gaze. They were still confused so they asked Zhen-Zhen in unison.
"But what do you mean by NOT an ordinary human?"
Sophia nodded frantically as she didn't understand her.
Zhen-Zhen scratched her face while smiling sheepishly at them.
"Did you see how my eyes turned red right?"
Matthew and Sophia bobbed their heads once more.
"My eyes are changing in color when I get emotional, like for example if I feel intense anger and sadness," Zhen-Zhen explained to them.
"Oh, that's a very strange phenomenon, to be honest. But it's not a reason for us to hate you or be afraid of you," Sophia said cheerfully, reassuring Zhen-Zhen.
"Yeah, I agree with her," Matthew also supported Sophia's statement.
Tristan just smiled inwardly. He was glad that Matthew and Sophia were not as surprised as him the first time he learned about Zhen-Zhen's power. He almost had a heart attack before.
He also foolishly fell off the cliff because of his fear. Fortunately, Zhen-Zhen was there to save him.
'Hmm, I think this reaction from them is understandable since they didn't see Zhen-Zhen with their own eyes, releasing a fire in her hands.' Tristan smiled at that thought.
Zhen-Zhen continued revealing her super ability to Sophia and Matthew.
"I also have super strength. Did you see it right when I fought the two men a while ago?"
Sophia and Matthew nodded again when they heard that.
"Yeah, that was so cool! You know how to fight Lillie, I mean Zhen-Zhen," Sophia praised her.
Matthew suddenly erupted into a peal of laughter when he remembered something. "Hahaha. So it was you, Lillie! The one who was strongest enough to pull the rope easily during the Tug of War games! No wonder your team won despite the twins being injured at that time."
Zhen-Zhen nodded her head with a smile. Tristan also joined Matthew by laughing out loud. They could still remember the pitiful look of Tristan's evil cousins when their team was defeated.
"Zhen-Zhen, tell us. What are the other things that you can do?" Sophia asked her expectantly. Her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Matthew was also eager to hear more so he fixed his gaze on Zhen-Zhen.
Tristan was also excited to know what would be the reaction of Sophia and Matthew once they heard the other extraordinary abilities of Zhen-Zhen.
"I can control fire and fly!" Zhen-Zhen declared to them matter-of-factly.
Sophia: "..."
Matthew: "..."
