Chapter 125

With Gwen's cooperation and the robust resources of Oscorp's biological laboratory, it didn't take long for Eren to dispel Helen's doubts.

When Helen learned that the scar-removal serum Eren had purchased would arrive soon and could be used to remove the scars on her calf after her wounds healed, her spirits visibly lifted.

After all, no woman would willingly give up on beauty.

At that moment, an older nurse entered the room, pushing a cart filled with gauze and medical supplies.

She glanced at Gwen and smiled. "Miss Gwen, will you be changing Helen's dressing again today?"

"Of course," Gwen replied, taking the cart from the nurse. "Thank you, Ms. Sindra."

"You're welcome."

With a kind smile, the nurse turned to Helen. "Mrs. Helen, you have such a wonderful daughter. Mine wouldn't even help me with a Band-Aid."

Helen chuckled, her eyes full of affection. "Gwen is the best angel God has given me."

The nurse nodded, leaving behind a parting comment: "I'll come back in half an hour to retrieve the cart," and quickly moved on to the next room.

Gwen had specifically requested to handle her mother's dressing changes.

Her knowledge of medicine and anatomy, honed through her internship at Oscorp, far exceeded that of an average nurse. Her meticulous and caring approach even won over the head nurse, who eventually approved her request.

Since Helen's wounds were on her calf, Gwen saw no need to send Eren out of the room.

Instead, she asked him to fetch a basin of clean water.

After cutting away the gauze on Helen's leg, Gwen carefully cleaned the area around the wounds.

Just as she was about to apply the new medication brought in by the nurse, Eren suddenly spoke up.

"Mrs. Helen, do you trust me?"

Helen, watching her daughter clean her wounds, was momentarily surprised by the question. Then, she smiled warmly. "Of course."

Eren smiled back. "In that case, let me show you a magic trick."

Under Gwen's curious gaze, Eren approached Helen's bedside and extended his hand, hovering it above her wounds.

"Watch closely. The magic is about to begin."

He smiled at them both and, in his mind, activated the Angel's Staff, using a low-level Holy Light Healing.

The next moment, a soft, milky-white glow appeared in Eren's hand, gently descending onto Helen's injured leg.

Helen felt a soothing warmth radiating from her swollen calf, spreading through her entire body.

The comforting sensation made her skin tingle, and she closed her eyes, savoring the moment.

When Helen opened her eyes again, the glow had vanished as quickly as it had appeared, like a fleeting illusion.

However, she could clearly feel the difference. Her body felt significantly better, and the swelling in her calf had visibly reduced. Even the crimson wounds had faded, as though they had been healing for weeks.

The miraculous scene left Helen and Gwen staring at Eren in astonishment.

"This is..." Helen began.

"This is a magic trick to help Mrs. Helen recover faster. Did you enjoy the performance?"

Eren stepped back gracefully and gave a courteous bow, as though he were a magician concluding his act.

Having already witnessed Eren's mysterious abilities before, Gwen was quicker to accept what she'd seen. She examined her mother's leg with excitement.

"Of course I liked it! Is this one of your abilities, Eren? Can you use it again? If so, maybe my mom's wounds—"

"Gwen!"

Helen interrupted her daughter sharply, snapping her out of her enthusiasm.

"Thank you, Eren. I loved your magic trick. I don't know how you did it, but I can tell it wasn't easy. Don't worry; Gwen and I will keep this a secret for you."

Unlike the excitable Gwen, Helen's life experience allowed her to better grasp how extraordinary Eren's abilities were—and the potential dangers of exposing them.

Realizing her mother's concern, Gwen looked at Eren apologetically, but before she could speak, Eren reassured her with a smile.

"This magic can't be performed too often. Mrs. Helen's body wouldn't handle such frequent... shows."

Seeing Gwen's disappointment, Eren added, "But I can perform it once a week. That way, Mrs. Helen's body can recover faster without it being too overwhelming."

"Really?" Gwen's eyes sparkled with renewed hope.

"Of course."

Her joy was so radiant that Eren momentarily lost himself in her gaze.

Gwen noticed his fleeting daze and blushed slightly, her lips curving into a softer smile.

Watching the interaction between the two, Helen couldn't help but smile warmly.

Half an hour later, Eren drove Gwen back after she had finished reapplying her mother's bandages and medication.

In the Aston Martin, Gwen tilted her head and studied Eren with her gem-like eyes.

"That 'magic trick' earlier—was it like the divination you performed before? Another one of your special abilities?"
