Lily quickly goes into the kitchen and drinks some water before Elunara notices anything. GeoMarx stands in the hall with a straight face. Luckily, Elunara didn't notice the sweet smell in the air.
Elunara looks around, but Lily wasn't there. She was still inside the kitchen.
"LILY!" Elunara shouts. Lily hears Elunara's voice and responds, "YES, Mummy?"
Elunara didn't understand where the voice came from. She asks Lily to come out. Lily comes out of the kitchen with a smiling face like nothing happened.
Elunara notices Lily's smile. She thinks, ("She definitely did something. Luceniel also smiles like that when we do something wrong.")
sigh
"Your dad is going to take some time to get ready. Until then, come with me." Lily follows Elunara to the second floor.
enter
The room was mostly empty, only some chairs and a table were there. "Lily, go and sit there."
Points to the table
Lily follows Elunara's order and goes to sit at the table. Lily asks Elunara what she is doing. Elunara explains, "We finally have the Ruby of Star." Elunara smiles while looking at Lily. Her voice feels warm and slow. "So, this means our Lily is going to get a full human body."
Lily already knows that, but her face turns a bit pale. The more she wants to turn human, the more she is afraid to lose Elunara and Luceniel.
The chance of success is only 51%. Lily is scared that if something happens, she can die and lose her mommy and daddy. That's what she doesn't want to happen.
Elunara opens a cupboard and takes out a box. Lily looks down, sad and worried. She jumps from the table and hugs Elunara's legs.
"Haa-? Lily?" She looks down at Lily, hugging Elunara's legs and shaking. Elunara understands and kneels to see Lily's face.
"Sweetie, look up." Lily looks at Elunara's face. Lily's face looks like she can cry any second, but she holds back her tears. "Are you scared?"
nod
She nods. Elunara chuckles and hugs her. "Don't worry, nothing bad is going to happen." Elunara rubs Lily's back. "Now come with me, I need to take some of your blood."
"BLOOD?" Lily shouts. She is scared of needles.
"It's not going to hurt." Elunara stands up while holding Lily. Lily tries to leave Elunara's grip but fails. She shouts, "NO, NO!"
"Don't cry, Lily. I told you it's not going to hurt." Lily tries her best to free herself from Elunara, and finally she manages somehow.
Elunara tries to catch her but fails due to the box in her other hand.
Open door
Lily runs away from Elunara. Lily goes to the first floor. But unfortunately, Luceniel was there. He didn't wear a T-shirt on top, only pants. His hair was still wet. He looks at Lily's face and is about to ask something, but she runs away from Luceniel as well.
dash
Luceniel dashes and grabs her. Lily cries and shouts, "NO, NO NEEDLES." Luceniel quickly understands what happened while he was in the bathroom taking a shower.
Luceniel hugs Lily and takes her to the second floor where Elunara is. Lily is still shouting that she doesn't want to see needles or do anything with them.
Luceniel rubs Lily's back and tries to calm her down, but she is nowhere near calm.
Open door
Elunara sees Luceniel without a T-shirt and wet hair, holding Lily in his arms.
blush
"Elunara, bring the box. I will help." Elunara gives the box to Luceniel and takes Lily from him. Lily is still shouting and making trouble. Luceniel explains, "Sweetie, please calm down." Lily stops shouting but makes a face like she is about to cry. Luceniel's heart aches. He can't face Lily.
But Elunara can. Elunara pulls out an injection from the box and a tube. "It's not going to hurt, Lily."
Close eyes
Hug Luceniel with one arm
Draw some blood
"It's done." Lily is still crying while holding Luceniel. She knows it's important for her, but she is afraid of needles.
Luceniel apologizes to her and gives Lily to Elunara. He takes the blood sample from Elunara.
Looks at Lily
Elunara feels a bit guilty. She promises Lily, "Sweetie, I will give you chocolate if you stop crying." Lily finally stops crying but still makes a sad face.
sigh
Looks at Luceniel
Elunara looks at Luceniel, who is holding Lily's blood. Elunara's face gets a bit red, but she says, "Go and wear something, we have to leave in 10 minutes."
Sad smile
"Okay." Luceniel goes and wears a T-shirt.
After 10 minutes.
Elunara takes out her personal car. Luceniel sits in the front passenger seat while Lily sits in the back seat.
The Ruby of Star comes with GeoMarx and Ember. Aquaryth stays at home. Spark is in Elunara's watch.
Elunara asks Luceniel about what happened in Country J. Luceniel explains everything to Elunara—how Kaelron is the one who helped Luceniel get the Ruby of Star.
Elunara smiles. She is very happy. Lily can finally turn human, not demi-human.
Lily is doing something on Luceniel's iPad, silent. She doesn't say anything. Luceniel tries, "Hey, sweetie, does it still hurt?"
Lily doesn't say anything, just pouts. "Hmph!"
chuckles
"Looks like you are very angry?"
"Hmph!"
"Come here." Luceniel turns around and takes Lily in his arms. She drops the iPad on the seat, still pouting.
Luceniel hugs Lily and apologizes. Lily doesn't say anything but kisses Luceniel on the cheek.
Luceniel's heart finally calms down.
After 30 minutes, they finally reach Vale Group Company. Many people welcome Elunara. They give flowers to Elunara but don't notice Luceniel that much.
They go into the company meeting room. Everyone congratulates Elunara on becoming the next CEO of Vale Group.
