120. She's Awake

Chapter 120

She's Awake

Zoe was stunned. As an orphan, she had never imagined she might have any family. But now, Osborne was saying that his sister, Anastasia, looked exactly like her and might be her twin sister?

At this moment, Zoe was overwhelmed with emotion. It was no wonder Osborne had saved her and taken her in. It all made sense now.

"Osborne, where is she? I want to see her!" Zoe exclaimed excitedly.

Osborne's expression turned somber, but he managed a smile and nodded. "Come on, I'll take you to see her."

ahead. Isa hesitated for a moment before speaking, "You two go I'll take this guy to the lab first and then catch up with you." With that, she dragged Raymond away.

Raymond was about to become her test subject, and only time would tell how long he would last.

Osborne then led Zoe to Anastasia's ward. His face was filled with a mix of tenderness and sorrow when he saw his sister lying there. Anastasia had been unconscious for several months.

Zoe saw Anastasia for the first time and was utterly shocked. She stared at the girl on the bed who looked exactly like her, only more fragile. A strange sense of connection welled up in her heart.

Her body trembled as she walked to the bedside, reaching out a shaky hand to gently touch Anastasia's delicate face and hair. "Sister…"

The word slipped from her lips in a whisper, surprising even herself. She had no idea why she felt compelled to call Anastasia her sister. From NôvelDrama.Org.

But deep inside, a powerful feeling told her that the girl lying there, who looked just like her, was indeed her sister. Her blood sister that was born from the same mother.

"Anastasia! You are my sister!" Zoe's eyes turned red instantly, and tears streamed down her face, falling onto Anastasia's.

The next second, something happened that left Osborne utterly astonished.

Anastasia, who had been in a coma for months, suddenly fluttered her eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes.

Her gaze was confused, but when she saw Zoe, her eyes lit up, and she murmured, "Sister?"

"Yes! I'm your sister!" Zoe cried out, throwing herself onto Anastasia and sobbing uncontrollably. Her cries filled the room.

An incredible connection surged between them, making it clear that they were the closest of kin without needing any words.

Their deep bond had somehow awakened Anastasia from her long slumber.

This was indeed a miracle.

Osborne was stunned and rushed to the bedside, exclaiming, "Anastasia, you're awake. How do you feel? You're finally

awake!"

Anastasia's body jolted, and she turned to look at Osborne, her face softening with affection. "Osborne! I'm alive. I can see you again. I'm so happy!"

She struggled to lift her hand, wanting to touch Osborne's face. Despite her weakness, she gritted her teeth and kept reaching. out until Osborne took her arm and placed her hand on his cheek. Only then did she smile.

"Osborne, I missed you so much," Anastasia said, her eyes welling up with tears. She kept caressing Osborne's face as if afraid this chance would never come again. Even Zoe was forgotten by her for the moment.

Anastasia's face was filled with pure affection for Osborne, and her gaze was so intense that it seemed like it might melt him.

Osborne felt an overwhelming sorrow as he saw the light in Anastasia's eyes fading rapidly. She was slipping back into

unconsciousness.

He quickly said, "Anastasia, listen to me. I've found a way to save you! I won't let you die, I promise. Even if I have to fight the whole world, even if I have to give up everything, I will save you. Believe in me, just hold on, okay? When you wake up from this dream, you'll be cured. Promise me you'll hang in there."

Anastasia managed a weak smile and nodded. "Okay. I promise, Osborne. I'll hold on. I want to stay with you for as long as possible. I know I can do it!"

"And my sister…" She looked at Zoe and said. "You look just like me! Although this is our first meeting, can I ask you a favor?"

Zoe was stunned but nodded without hesitation. "Anastasia, just tell me."

Anastasia smiled, "Take good care of Osborne for me, okay? Even if I don't make it, you stay by his side, take care of him, and help him. When he sees your face, he might think of me. That way, even if I die, I won't be too sad. Promise me, will you?"

Zoe was taken aback, her eyes reddening with tears. She glanced at Osborne, then nodded vigorously, her voice choked with emotion. "Okay. I promise, Anastasia. While you're unwell, I'll take good care of Osborne for you. But you won't die. You will get better. We'll be waiting for you!"

Anastasia finally smiled. She nodded with difficulty, casting one last loving look at Osborne before closing her eyes.

"Her condition hasn't improved. Waking up just now was an accident," Isa said after examining Anastasia.

Osborne's face fell with disappointment. Against reason, he had hoped that Anastasia's sudden awakening might be a sign of recovery, though he knew deep down it was only because of Zoe's presence.

Isa studied Zoe carefully before speaking again. "There can be a special connection between twin sisters, and it was this connection that temporarily woke Anastasia. Unfortunately, it didn't help her illness. In fact, it worsened it."

"What?" Osborne's face turned pale.

Zoe felt guilty. She asked, "Ms. Bowin. Anastasia will be okay, right?"

Isa shook her head and pointed at Osborne. "That depends on his abilities. Initially, she could have lived for another year. Now, it's down to eight months."

Osborne clenched his fists tightly, the gravity of the situation sinking in. "Eight months! She has only eight months left!"

He didn't blame Zoe and said with determination, "I'll expedite my access to higher resources and get her into the Godfather's medical research lab. No matter what, I will save her!"

Isa nodded with a smile. "Don't be so serious. There's still eight months, right? Shouldn't you be starting your new test? What is it? Considering you provided me with a test subject, I might help. you."

Osborne awkwardly rubbed his nose. The new test required him to pursue Clarissa, and he couldn't bring himself to tell Isa about it. Besides, how could she help him in matters of the heart? He still remembered the last time he had forcibly kissed her.

"Maybe next time," he replied evasively.

Isa didn't press further. She shrugged. "Suit yourself. Rarely does this witch offer free help, and you don't appreciate it. Fine, I wasn't keen on charity work anyway."

She then turned her attention to Zoe. "I need to draw some blood from you. While it's almost certain that you and Anastasia are sisters, it's best to confirm it. Plus, my tests are special. I can check if you have any power."

Osborne's eyes lit up. "You can test if she got power? Zoe mentioned she might have some, but I think it's probably not what we typically consider."

"Oh?" Isa's curiosity was piqued. "Zoe, tell me more. Why do you think you have powers?"

Zoe hesitated but then began to explain in detail. When she finished, Osborne commented, "I think this just means Zoe is good at singing. It doesn't sound like a power to me."

Isa rolled her eyes. "Don't talk if you don't know what you're saying! This could very well be a psychic power. Many psychic metahumans can utilize their voices to exert power. What Zoe described sounds a lot like a manifestation of it. But we can find out for sure. Zoe, sing us a song. I'll be able to sense it."

Zoe looked at Osborne, who nodded. "Just do as she said. She knows more about this than I do."

"Alright." Zoe nodded. She took a deep breath and began to sing. Her voice was enchanting, clear, and pure, with bright high notes, rich low notes, and ethereal middle tones. It was beyond beautiful.

At first, Osborne simply found her voice lovely. But soon, he felt something was off. His consciousness seemed to be sinking into a bottomless abyss, separating from his body, which stood motionless.

Suddenly, the Blood Cross tattoo on his chest activated, releasing a cold energy that snapped him out of the trance. Osborne was shocked.

Next to him, Isa wore an enraptured expression, her body still and unresponsive. She abruptly shuddered and woke up, her face filled with astonishment as she looked at Zoe.

"How is this possible?" Isa exclaimed.

Startled, Zoe quickly stopped singing and looked at Isa with fear and uncertainty. "Ms. Bowin, is there something wrong?"

Isa didn't say anything. She grabbed Zoe's arm, examining her closely as if she were a precious gem.

"Zoe, do you want to become a master? I can teach you! From now on, I'll be your mentor and train you to become the best!" Isa said excitedly.

Zoe was stunned. She was clearly tempted, but she looked to Osborne for guidance.

Osborne frowned. "Isa, what's going on? Is Zoe's power so strong that you want to take her as your disciple?"

Isa took a deep breath. "Her talent is beyond strong. It's extraordinary! She definitely has power, a psychic one. Her power is scarce. It's one in a million. It's a divine power!"

Osborne was taken aback. "What is a divine power?"
