Lesson in Love

- Agent 003 laboratory -

"Agent 003, so... am I dying?!!!".

Out of her expectation, Agent 003 chuckled until his body shook hard.

"Why did you mockingly laughing at me?!!"

He looked at her while wiping his tears of laughter and keep laughing.

Furious of his childish reaction, in a blink of an eye, she punched him successfully on his stomach.

The impact was able to silence him. Agent 003 grunted painfully and holding his stomach when he headed to the couch to sat.

'Cough! Cough!". Forcing himself to cough to check on the heaviness of his injury on his pulse, then agent 003 calmed himself. Only after he was sure that his injury is not internal, he looked at Ashlee Shen seriously and explained, " Pardon me, Miss Ashlee, but you are sick in the heart!!".

Following his suit by sitting on the couch in front of him, she replied seriously, " I know! That's why I'm here! At first, I thought the cause behind this is that man, but after I get rid of him... It seems that my disease is gotten worst!".

"Ehem! Miss Ashlee, this disease is called lovesickness! So as long as you don't love, you will heal!".

Agent 003 was keeping his cool because he doesn't want to stir any more anger from the younger woman. Such a hardheaded woman, the man that she loved could thank him later for his act of kindness to liberate him. Of course, his master would thank him later too. After what happens to Leah Shen, his master would prefer that his sister stay single for the longest time.

"I don't think I love him. I must be under the influence of some kind of spell. Please give me a prescription to heal it!".

Oh no, he can't laugh anymore. Marshall Shen is a genius and Madam Shen is great at martial arts, but why their children lacked the lesson of love toward the opposite sex? Had they ever receive sex education? Maybe not... Even Alex Lee has to learn it from the book that he found for him. No... he can't laugh anymore.

Holding the urge to laugh again, he told the younger woman to leave and that he would prepare her medicine in an hour.

Ashlee Shen nodded and left.

While walking toward the training ground, Ashlee Shen saw her nephew practicing by himself.

"Xander! Could I join you?!!".

The young boy nodded.

They had been practicing for a while when she caught Xander's boring expression.

"What's going on, Xander?!!"

"My mother should be here four hours ago, but something must have to hold her".

"Stay here! I will look for her now!".

It's been a long time since she saw her sister-in-law, it's seven years ago to be exact when she first married her brother.

Upon arrival in front of the master bedroom.

'No guard? Why my brother so lousy? After the recent war, he should tighten the security!'.

Then Ashlee Shen heard a weird voice coming from inside the room.

What happening inside?

And...

At that moment, her sister in law screamed in agony.

Immediately without any thought, she kicked the door open.

The sight confused her.

Her brother was hurting her sister in law with some kind of punishment that she never saw before. Pants down, with a naked butt, her brother lowered all his weight on the delicate woman.

"Brother! Why do you hurt my sister in law?", she asked furiously.

Alex Lee still panting but immediately he secured his beast by pulling up his pants and buttoned it. While Felicia Lee pulled down her skirt to fix herself. Disheveled but luckily not naked, both were crimson red at the scrutiny of the younger woman.

Hurried to her sister in law side to find any wound in her body, she exclaimed," She is pregnant, and you torturing her, brother?!".

Alex Lee rolled his eyes in embarrassment unable to defend himself. A while ago, when Felicia Lee was heading out to the training ground to see Xander, he got an urge for a quickie before heading out to his office. Thus both were not naked, thank heaven! He gave his beautiful wife a signal with his eyes to explain the whole situation and escape the awkward situation while saying indifferently to his sister, "I have to go now, Ashlee, your sister in law will explain for you! Good day!".

For a while...

Felicia Lee looked at the pure and naive girl that was sitting next to her in bewilderment. And before the younger woman could lift up her skirt to find any wound, she sighed hard while saying softly," Your brother didn't hurt me!".

Ashlee Shen said in anguish," Don't cover for him, sister-in-law! He is a cold man, that's why you left him six years ago right? You came back to his side and he tortured you?!! Humph! Even if he is my brother, I won't let him go!"

Oh my! This is gonna be awkward! Why is her mother in law never have this conversation with her daughter? And now it becomes her job to tell her? Well...

She has no option in this matter.

"Ashlee, have you wonder how to make a baby?" Seeing the confused look in the younger woman, she continued, " That's what it was earlier!"

Shaking her head gently to deny the explanation, Ashlee Shen replied," Why would you make a baby when you already pregnant? You lied!"

Sighed hard, Felicia Lee barred everything out without leaving anything behind. Answering the younger woman every little question without any taboo.

"....?"

"...."

"....?"

"....!"

After an hour of questioning with curiosity, Ashlee Shen is suddenly a big adult now. No longer naive and not knowing the intimacy between man and woman, she finally connected the dot. Her parents had always hidden at the house up on the hill and warned her not to follow them. Her father would occasionally bite her mother but her mother never got mad at the action, it's like some kind of weird game that she didn't understand until now.

"So... you only do this activity with the man you loved, you said, Sister-in-law?!!"

"Yes, for the benefit of your body and soul, because you are connecting both of them in the action! Also, in the past, there is a cultivating method to become immortal which involving joining two bodies into one between the couple! Thus, together they could join immortality, none left on earth to suffer!".

"Sister-in-law, I am here because my hearts have been pounding like crazy whenever I saw a certain someone. Agent 003 said that I have a lovesickness disease, but it cures if I don't love anymore... And... He would give me medicine to help this cause!"

Palming her head, Felicia Lee stared at the innocent woman in disbelief. Agent 003 is definitely a rascal. Maybe he thought, that he was helping her husband.

"Ashlee, just follow your heart! That's why I am back with your brother! I followed my heart and I am so happy and joyful at this moment that if I die at any moment, I have no regret!".

Ashlee Shen paused in contemplation and curiously asked," So... killing the love is not a good idea?".

"If the man loved you back, it might be just a one of the time chance in life to find your soulmate!".

"Thanks, sister-in-law for your explanation! By the way, Xander is still waiting for you at the training ground! Help me to say goodbye to him! See You another day, sister-in-law!".

Felicia Lee was glad that Ashlee Shen had never blamed her for leaving her brother, even though she blamed herself for that caused their baby demise. She never had many friends in her life but talking to Ashlee Shen fulfilling that part. From now on, she would keep in touch with the younger woman to advise her of a lesson of love and life. Even though she is older by a couple of years than Ashlee Shen, she had gone through life and death and experienced the love of her life death, thus she appreciated and cherished the love she felt for her husband and Xander.

Family...

The words sent warmth into her heart.

Eventually...

She had to do everything to get along with Leah Shen, after all, Alex Lee's family is her only family.
