Though paralyzed, still radiantly charming!

Chapter 129: I passed the teacher certification exam!

“Abby, something on your mind?” Ethan turned off his tablet and looked over at Abigaile, who was standing by the hallway, watching Lily head to the hospital entrance before she left with Kyle and the school doctor.

Abigaile had a troubled expression. “So, nothing’s changed, has it?”

“Oh, something has.” Ethan gestured behind him.

After Lily left, Mr. Logan had sat up in his bed and, with Jessica’s help, walked out of the ward.

He didn’t have much time left and had given up on treatment, but he wasn’t about to kick the bucket just yet.

The sunlight hit his pale face, adding a bit of color to Logan’s smile.

“Mr. Logan, don’t you hate him?” Abigaile furrowed her brows. “Even in the end, he didn’t acknowledge your relationship. For his own sake, he completely abandoned you, and now he’s left with Kyle.”

Logan just smiled, his gaze serene. “I know, but I love him. Isn’t love all about being irrational?”

“But…” Abigaile started to say something, but Ethan interrupted her, turning to Logan. “I’ve fulfilled your wish. Please take care.”

He then pulled Abigaile away.

Jessica watched their retreating figures, tipping her hat down with a playful smile.

Ethan and Abigaile walked until they rounded a corner.

“Hey, this is just stupid, isn’t it? It’s like there’s no bottom line to his goodness!” Abigaile couldn’t hold back. “This kind of limitless love, leading to this point, it’s just asking for trouble.”

“Yeah, I agree.” Ethan nodded.

Hearing him not object, Abigaile frowned. “Aren’t you going to argue with me? Say something like true love can’t be rationalized.”

“Hmph.” Ethan scoffed, clearly indifferent to these messy emotional entanglements.

From the beginning, he had only one goal: to complete his mission.

“Let go of the savior complex, respect others’ fates. My only purpose is to fulfill their last wishes. That’s where I find joy.”

“You.” Abigaile pouted, then after a moment said, “I need to step away for a bit.”

“Oh, suit yourself.” Ethan waved her off, now that his mission was complete, this temporary ally was no longer needed.

Abigaile went to the corner alone and pulled out her phone, hesitating before finally calling Felix.

As soon as he answered, Felix’s concerned voice came through.

“Abby, I’m so glad you called.”

Abigaile was silent for a good ten seconds. “Felix, about what you said last time, about dating… I just can’t convince myself. I’ve always seen you as a brother, I’m really sorry.”

There was a long silence on the other end. “Is it because of that boy?”

“Huh?” Abigaile snapped, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. “Hey, he’s just a young guy who’s barely an adult. Even if I jumped off a building or got hit by a car, I wouldn’t fall for someone like him!”

…

Back in the hospital room, Ethan immediately summoned the system and used his remaining points to exchange for a healing potion.

As his points hit zero, a small glass vial appeared in his hand, the liquid inside a light blue.

It was plain and unassuming.

Ethan realized that since he could hold it, it wasn’t just for his use.

“Interesting.”

He opened the vial and downed it in one gulp.

The potion was tasteless and colorless, sliding down his throat into his stomach.

The next second, he felt a tingling sensation throughout his body, like after holding back for a month, suddenly spending a night with a skilled woman without having to lift a finger.

Then, a panel popped up in front of him.

“Name: Ethan Jones”

“Age: 18”

“Strength: 5”

“Stamina: 5”

“Agility: 5”

“Dick size: 10 inches”

“Skills: Medical Secrecy (special), Hard as a rock LV4, Weakness Implantation LV1, Void Dick LV2.”

“Physical ailments: Hereditary heart disease, a chance of acute heart failure when overly excited.”

The section on physical ailments now only listed hereditary heart disease.

“Awesome!” Ethan clenched his fist, thrilled that the 50% chance had worked out in his favor. Now, he wouldn’t have to worry about his stats being deducted.

Next up, he just needed to earn another thousand points to secure a completely healthy body.

With the skill Medical Secrecy (special) in place, any hospital test would show that his body was slowly healing itself.

This mission had been a huge success.

Ethan glanced at a soda can on the desk, flicked his finger forward, and activated his skill Void Dick. With a “bang,” the ethereal Dick struck the can, knocking it off the desk.

After upgrading the skill to LV2, he could now face his enemies head-on at a ninety-degree angle, no longer limited to controlling the angle with his hips.

Combined with Hard as a rock at level 4, equivalent to the hardness of rock, its power was already formidable.

The only downside was that the farther the distance, the weaker his control and power.

But these were temporary limitations.

As his skills Void Dick, Hard as a rock, and Dick Control improved, Ethan could imagine himself standing on a streetlight, arms crossed, shooting out a 10-inch Dick that could pierce through an enemy.

And with improvements to Weakness Implantation, his Void Dick attacks could even carry magical damage.

The potential power was unimaginable.

He was still lost in these wild thoughts when the door to the room swung open. Abigaile walked in, no longer bothering to knock, her expression strangely relaxed.

She looked Ethan up and down as she entered.

Her gaze finally rested between his legs.

“Hey, your look is kind of dangerous,” Ethan squinted, puzzled by the beautiful actress’s behavior.

After a thorough scan, Abigaile withdrew her gaze with a dismissive smile and waved her hand, “I’m outta here~”

She turned and left with a carefree stride.

After leaving the room, Abigaile patted her chest, relieved.

During her call with Felix, she had momentarily wondered if she was actually developing feelings for this boy.

Now, it seemed she had been overthinking it.

Abigaile knew she just felt more relaxed around Ethan, looking for some fun and nothing more.

Back in the room, Ethan watched Abigaile’s retreating figure, finding her behavior utterly baffling.

But he didn’t plan to delve deeper into it.

Because he was now facing a choice.

The major cause of his illness, progressive muscle weakness, had been cured.

He could totally discuss leaving the hospital with his aunt.

His aunt had agreed to date him, and the thought of living together with his sexy aunt was almost too exciting to imagine.

But staying in the hospital could give him faster access to more missions.

He needed to weigh these options.

Outside, the sun was gradually setting.

Scarlett and Blair appeared at the door of the room, Scarlett’s face unable to hide her joy, holding a document bag: “Ethan~ I passed the teacher certification exam!”

“Aunt Scarlett, congratulations!” Ethan was genuinely happy for her.

Scarlett sat on the edge of the bed, her gaze at him filled with complexity. She had decided to take the Teacher Certification to fulfill her nephew’s last wish.

Now that the exam was over, her nephew was getting healthier by the day.
