Though paralyzed, still radiantly charming!

Chapter 94: LV4

Scarlett’s gaze was complex, her pupils seemed to compress a myriad of emotions as she stared at Ethan, a mix of unfamiliarity and familiarity blending together.

Ethan’s heart thudded violently.

It was the first time he had seen such a complex mix of emotions in his aunt’s eyes.

Everything was out in the open now, what choice would his aunt make?

The hospital room was very quiet, filled only with their heartbeats.

Suddenly.

Scarlett stepped forward, cupped his cheeks with both hands, and kissed him fiercely.

Their soft lips collided, and Ethan could smell the intoxicating, subtle fragrance of her body.

After a moment of stunned joy, Ethan thought, “Is this a ‘yes’? Did I really succeed?”

But he pushed those surprising thoughts aside.

The goddess he had secretly adored since childhood was kissing him.

Eagerly, Ethan opened his mouth and extended his tongue, touching the moist, soft lips in front of him, trying to push further.

Into his aunt’s mouth, to taste the goddess’s mouth.

But Scarlett suddenly pulled back, straightening up and breaking their lip contact.

“Aunt?” Ethan’s tongue had just reached out, his eyes filled with regret,he was so close, just a bit more and he would have touched her tongue.

Kissing and “sex” are fundamentally different.

The latter satisfies the body, while the former satisfies the psyche.

Facing his eager gaze, Scarlett turned her head away, avoiding his intense look.

“Let’s not do this again. Your medical bills are reduced, I can afford them. Just focus on getting better.”

“Aunt.” Ethan didn’t want to hear this,he knew she was changing the subject. He grabbed her hand, his gaze intense as he looked at her cheek, “Can we date?”

Scarlett’s body visibly shivered, her gaze still evasive: “I… I don’t think it’s love, you’re like a child to me.”

Ethan sensed there was more to come and held her hand tightly in his.

Scarlett turned to face him, her alluring face complex: “But… there might be a little bit, I can’t lie to myself. I’ll try to see you as a man, just give me some time.”

“So we are dating then.” Ethan’s face lit up with surprise, and he wrapped his arms around his aunt’s slender waist.

Scarlett struggled a bit but couldn’t break free, so she stopped trying and let him hold her.

She turned her head, then nodded.

At the moment she nodded.

A screen popped up in front of Ethan.

“Wish: I really wish my aunt would truly want to date me (Completed). Reward: 2000 points. Skill: Hard as a Rock +2.”

“Awesome!” Ethan’s eyes sparkled, and he hugged his aunt tightly, burying his head in her chest.

“Ah?” Scarlett was startled by his action, watching her nephew nuzzle against her chest, a look of indulgence flashing in her eyes.

She sighed softly and patted his head, “And you say you’re a man now.”

“It’s just the first time I’ve seen Aunt make such a cute face.” Ethan contained his excitement.

He’d check the system later.

For now, he had just become a couple with his aunt, and it was system-approved.

This also proved that at least in that moment, aside from seeing him as family, his aunt also entertained the idea of him being her boyfriend.

Now, the two were mutually attracted to each other.

They were a couple now, so it was only natural to do things that couples do.

Ethan’s gaze swept over his aunt’s prominent chest and the long legs clad in sheer black stockings beneath her knee-length skirt.

Scarlett, catching his heated gaze on her legs, instantly understood his thoughts and felt a surge of irritation.

She lifted her head and pushed him away: “I’m leaving.”

She pushed Ethan away from her embrace and stood up.

“Wait a minute.” Ethan hugged her from behind: “Just like this, let me hold you for a while.”

Scarlett lowered her head, allowing him to hold her, feeling the man’s body behind her.

He was very different from the nephew she knew.

He was now her boyfriend.

The thought crossed Scarlett’s mind again.

There was also a strange, indescribable feeling in her heart.

…

“Don’t show that disgusting smile, jerk!” Jessica drove, catching Scarlett’s expression in the rearview mirror.

“Ah, I wasn’t smiling.” Scarlett quickly dropped her smile and put on a serious face.

“Gross,” Jessica muttered, pressing the accelerator, the car speeding up as if venting her displeasure.

“At first, you acted like he was just your nephew, whether as a guardian or an adult, but now you’re dating him like he’s your boyfriend.”

“Look how disgusting your smile is now!”

“Hmm.” Scarlett covered her mouth, smiling: “Actually, when I think about it, I’m just staying at his house, and although he calls me ‘aunt,’ like you said, there’s really no familial relationship between us.”

She herself found it odd, as if she had been walking into a dead end before.

Once she stepped out, it suddenly felt like the sky was wide open.

Scarlett looked out the car window at the night, a trace of melancholy in her eyes: “And there’s not much time left.”

Ethan was ultimately plagued by illness, his life not expected to be long.

Even now, despite some unexplained improvements.

This boy would eventually leave her.

Jessica, seeing the sadness on her best friend’s face, immediately understood her worries as a police officer.

The atmosphere in the car turned silent in an instant.

“Actually… this isn’t a good choice, why.”

Jessica sighed softly, although fulfilling Ethan’s wish, it also delayed Scarlett.

With Scarlett’s personality, while dating Ethan, they would love each other.

But Ethan was destined not to accompany her for a lifetime.

The happier they were now, the more pain there would be in the future,she might need a lifetime to heal herself.

“Hmm.” Scarlett chuckled lightly, a look of relief flashing in her eyes: “Jessica, have you ever been hugged by someone you like?”

“Ah?!!!” Jessica was caught off guard.

…

On the hospital bed.

Ethan looked down at his 10-inch “Pecker,” which stood up immediately with a thought, a feature that appeared when upgraded to LV3.

Unfortunately, he could only control it to be hard, not soft.

And it still entered the usual state automatically when stimulated.

It was an improvement in operability, but not fully enhanced.

The feature of LV4 was to further increase the hardness, from being as hard as a stick to now as hard as a rock.

It was a qualitative change.

Ethan also had a preliminary understanding of the skill enhancement effects.

Every 3, 6, 9 levels, the features would improve, while other levels further strengthened the hardness.

So, when upgraded to level 10, it wouldn’t be as hard as a diamond, would it?

Ethan just had this thought and shook his head to clear it, the image was too beautiful to contemplate.

“Finally dating my aunt.”

The next time they were together.

Thinking of his aunt’s graceful figure and her long legs in black stockings, now that she was his girlfriend, it would be okay to touch her legs, or even have a foot job, right?

“Ding-dong.” The sound of a text message interrupted his fantasy.

Ethan took out his phone,it was a message from Abigaile.
