Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 130 : Hope wakes up

Two days later...

While they had visibly gotten better, neither Hope nor Jade had woken up.

As for Muku, his condition remained unchanged. If it wasn't because of his bloodline, he likely would have died long ago. It even could heal him, but it couldn't for obvious reasons. While Ares couldn't see what was happening through his energy. He could sense if something strange happened.

Especially then, when he was in a terrible mood because he could sense that Muku wasn't dead yet. While his condition, had not gotten better, it had not gotten worse either. So, if the bloodline tried to heal him. Ares would know as he was paying close attention to Muku's situation.

The girls who were awake were doing almost nothing else but meditate when they were awake. Their mana control was improving significantly but they were still not happy. Not when three of their members were out of commission.

...

Hope's room...

"Mmm" Suddenly, Hope, who was lying unmoving on her bed, made a little sound.

Chloe, who was meditating on a couch in the room, snapped her eyes open and looked at the bed. Which was just in time to see Hope start to steer. Without any delays, Chloe rushed to the side of the bed.

"Hope! Are you finally awake? It's me, Chloe! Are you okay?" Chloe exclaimed while shaking Hope's shoulders. She knew that she was overreacting, but she just couldn't stop herself. Her emotions had gotten the better of her.

"Caaaaan....yoooouuuu....stooop shaaaaking meeee please?!" Hope tried her best to speak clearly after finding herself getting her soul shaken out of her body just after waking up.

"Oh! Right! Sorry," Chloe embarrassedly apologised as she stopped shaking Hope.

"Argh, finally. I was close to vomiting my guts out there" Hope spoke while trying to gather herself. She was not only disoriented from having been unconscious for so long. Chloe's shaking also added to the disorientation.

"What's happening? Where am I? Where's Big Brother?.... Big Brother! Where is he?" Hope started asking random questions while still trying to clear her mind. She soon remembered what happened to Muku.

Her mind cleared up immediately and she grabbed Chloe's shoulders as she asked. She was giving off a rather crazy vibe at the moment.

"Calm down. Nothing bad has happened to him. He is still as you left him" Chloe calmly replied. The moment she said that he hadn't gotten worse...or worse, she felt Hope's grip on her ease.

"Good, I'm going to see him now...hmm? Why do I feel so weak?" Hope spoke while trying to get up. But she quickly realised that she couldn't support herself on her legs.

"Well, you've been out for a few days. And you had used every ounce of strength before going unconscious. Your mana recovery while unconscious was extremely poor. So your body is pretty empty right now. Let me go get you some food. Then you can go see him" Chloe spoke while getting up.

"No wait! Why don't you help me get to him first, then you can get the food?" Hope called out to Chloe, who was about to leave the room.

".....Fine" Chloe wanted to refuse the absurd request since it wouldn't take long to get some food. But seeing the pleading and resolute look in Hope's eyes, she just couldn't say no.

She was almost certain that the moment she left. Hope would try to crawl into Muku's room. It was at that moment she realised just how much Hope loved her Big Brother.

Initially, she thought that they were all about equal. With Hope maybe being a little bit above them. But in that moment, she realised that their love for him paled in comparison to hers by a long shot. Hope was one of those people who loved completely once they chose to love.

At the same time, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that Hope wasn't a yandere or something. Otherwise, with such a strong love, the rest of them might have had to watch out. Or they would get poisoned in their sleep.

As she thought of this, she had already grabbed Hope's shoulder. As she helped her get to Muku's room. Which was thankfully beside Hope's room they were in.

....

Muku's room...

"Is there anything wr.... Oh! Hope you're awake,," Audre,y, who was lost in thought while sitting beside Muku's bed, spoke. She thought someone had something to tell her until she saw Hope who was getting supported into the room by Chloe.

"Yeah... How is he?" Hope replied to Audrey, but her eyes were focused on Muku, who lay on the bed unmoving. Tears immediately gathered in her eyes before they started falling out.

"Go and get her something to eat" Audrey said to Chloe while taking Hope from her and supporting her to Muku's side. Chloe didn't delay and immediately did what she was told.

"I'm useless" Hope spoke to herself in a voice that was close to crying as she touched Muku's cheek. It really broke her that she couldn't do anything to help him even when she was a so-called Pseudo-Legendary Class Healer.

"No Honey, don't blame yourself. The situation was just beyond all our capabilities. And he will be fine soon enough. Just have faith okay? If you break down like this, what will he think? Would you want him to see such a sorry sight if he were to wake up now?" Audrey immediately rebuked Hope softly.

The child's love for her master overwhelmed even her. She didn't think it was so strong. She definitely couldn't compete with her bloodline-induced feelings. At times she even felt like everything about her was fake when it came to him. She felt like her strong emotions for him were all fake.

Well, that was a story for another day. What mattered to her in the moment was to keep Hope from breaking down.

"Ye-yeah, you're right. I shouldn't dwell on the past. I should work hard to get stronger and heal him" Hope was swayed by Audrey's words.

A resolute look to gain more strength appeared in her eyes. She would do everything in her power to gain the power she needed. She immediately started thinking of what she could do to gain that power. Unknowingly, an eery air appeared around her as she was stuck in her thoughts.

"Hope?" Audrey called out to her while tapping her shoulder.

"Hmm?" Hope snapped out of her thoughts and the sinister air around her immediately disappeared. It was as if it was never there.

Audrey, who had clearly sensed it, was even questioning if she had sensed it properly. But she was certain that she had sensed something. She would have to notify Muku when he gets up. It seemed like an issue that could lead to problems later on if left infixed.

"I've brought the food!" Thankfully, Chloe's crisp voice disrupted the awkward silence.

"Here, Hope, have some", Chloe continued speaking as soon as she got to Hope's side.

Hope wanted to refuse since she didn't feel like eating. But realising that she really needed to eat to be able to function properly. She accepted the food. And so began her long and tasteless meal under the urging gazes of Chloe and Audrey. Who were soon joined by the others who had been notified by Chloe?

Soon the room was a little noisy. While it wasn't the same as when everyone was okay. It was definitely an improvement from the gloomy atmosphere in the last few days. They could vaguely sense that things were changing for the better.

Soon Hope had finished her meal and her body had also regained some of its strength. Which was the best part about beast meat. It worked almost immediately and the change was visible to the naked eye.

Unfortunately, it had been the last of their beast meat. So when Muku and Jade wake up. They won't have any. Unless the team went to hunt for more. Which was easier said than done with their rarity in the area.

.....

The next day...

Hope had spent most of the previous day recovering in Muku's room. She even slept there. No one objected that time around for obvious reasons. Plus she might or might not have threatened to poison them into a state of fear for a whole week if they denied her.

"I think I should see Jade. While I can't help Big Brother. Maybe I can help her. Her state is even naturally improving after all" Hope spoke to the others after they had gathered for breakfast.

After a night she was finally willing to leave Muku's side. Though not for too long. But it was an improvement nonetheless.

"Good idea!" Emily, being Jade's best friend, immediately agreed to the idea. She had even wanted to bring it up. But wasn't sure because of the condition Hope was in.

"Great, let's go do it now then. I have to get back to Big Brother soon," Hope spoke, the last part of her sentence making the others smile wryly.

The girl really only had her big brother in her mind. Which wasn't too obvious when Muku was fine. But when he wasn't, it was a glaring fact.

And so, they quietly agreed to what she said and they all headed for Jade's rooms.
