CHAPTER 15

Alan stares at the asleep Ashley with regret. Two months had passed since the battle in the cities. Every team had a difficult battle. As Ashley thought, two monsters attacked each city. However the only city where the assassins appeared was Ivar. When Dustin tried to make contact with Alan and Leila. They couldn't answer quickly. Because of the monsters. That is the reason why Alan arrived at Ivar to catch Ashley covered in blood.

Alan shivers every time she remembers her looks. Although he heard from Dustin that Ashley changed again like that time. He couldn't avoid hurried to Ivar after listened that Ashley was fighting alone. The issue that Ashley would remain in a coma it's enough to know that she exceeded her limits. Alan felt angry, sadness, regret etc. There were many emotions mixed in his mind. He was overconfident. His arrogance didn't allow to see that there are things that they can't predict. The cost of this was almost the life of Ashley.

Ashley felt that she had been asleep for a long time, when she woke up. She was alone in her bedroom. Ashley had her body tired and heavy. At that moment she heard that someone got in.

—Are you awake…? —Ashley recognized Alan's voice although she didn't have energy to open her eyes. She listened his voice sound relief.

Ashley moved her fingers a little without an answer. Alan takes the water to the table and gives her a little. Ashley sighed in relief and used all her energy to open her eyes.

—… A...Alan… —She still felt pain in her throat but it was better than before.

—It 's okay, don't push yourself...— Ashley heeded him and closed her eyes. Maybe because she didn't have much strength. She slept again and when she woke up Alan was still there.

Ashley wanted to told him that It isn't necessary to stay by her side all the time. But he denied. At that moment a voice in her head said.

'Oh, That guy really likes you' Ashley was confused at the beginning because she still hasn't become used to listening to this voice.

"Hello...mmm…" The voice sighed and said.

'Just call me whatever you want'

"So...Older Ashely…" The voice didn't answer for a while and just said.

'Yes…'

"How do you feel? Are you injured?" Older Ashley was speechless.

'Didn't you remember that I used your body?' Ashley stayed in silence and Older Ashley said.

'I'm only a little tired…'

—Ash — Alan wakes Ashley up with his call.

—Mmm?

—I'm sorry —Ashley looked at him surprised.

—Why? —Alan sighed and said.

—My overconfidence put you in a dangerous situation — Ashley shakes her hand and denies it.

—It's okay, It wasn't your fault.

—No, it is. Ashley, do you remember that I inherited the company of your family mother? — Ashley was a little confused because he mentioned it suddenly but she nodded.

—This company is Elderan Technology — Ashley blinking with her face astonished. Older Ashley was the first to react.

'Oh my god… that is the company that created the game..!'

—What?!! — Ashley almost stood up from a jump but the pain in her body obligated her to stay still.

—It is supposed that I would have full the control of the game but I joined the game as a normal player even so I still have the register of every player here — Alan looked at Ashley with some embarrassment and regret —But I couldn't find Joel — Ashley didn't answer because she was pay attention to the words of the older Ahsley.

'I knew, I knew. That disgusting guy was sended by this son of b*tch.... Of course I didn't know about the company or your friend but I gave Joel a piece of my magic. So we will know where he is. I'm a genius…' Ashley tried to take in all the information Older Ahsley and Alan were giving her.

—Although you can't find Joel. I can. And don't use energy searching for him. Things are somewhat complicated with that guy. I'm going to explain to you in the future —Alan, although hesitantly nodded.
