Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 242: CHAPTER 242 – One Wish 2.

"Did you know how strong both of them were?"

Alex's question caused the frown on Luna's head to deepen.

She got confused by his question.

'What's he talking about?'

They were talking about the incident, so who was he referring to?

'Ah, I see…'

Just then, as if realizing something Luna's eyes brightened.

'He's talking about Alice and Ann.'

Luna's brows which were knighted into a frown also loosened as the realization hit her.

They were talking about the incident, and Luna was saying that she didn't do anything, on the other, hand she was saved.

So, Alex asked her again.

"Did you know that both Alice and Ann were that strong?"

"No."

Luna replied with a shake of her head.

"But you did know that if that attack landed, then their lives would've been in danger, right?"

Alex questioned again as he sat back on the weight bench, and started wiping his face with a towel.

He could've just dried it off with magic, but that wouldn't give the gym-like feeling, so he was using the towel.

"Yes."

Lua nodded her head in confirmation.

"You didn't know that Alice and Ann were strong enough to take care of the attack, and you also knew that it could kill or gravely injure everyone there, yet you still jumped in front of it, why?"

Alex asked as he looked into Luna's eyes, throwing the towel on the handle of the weight bench.

Luna stared back at Alex and for a while, she didn't know what to say.

"Just tell me what you felt."

Alex spoke as if he could see through her dilemma.

Luna put up a thoughtful expression before she spoke.

"I didn't feel anything, my body moved on its own, I just wanted to save them."

Luna spoke her thoughts out loud.

"So, you just wanted to save them…"

Alex nodded his head, but before Luna could say something or add something he asked her another question.

"Did you, for a second, regret that decision?"

Alex questioned with deliberate pauses in between his words, just so that they would carry more weight.

His question slumped Luna, and her mind drifted back to the time when she regretted the decision to jump in.

"…yes, I had that thought for once."

Luna nodded her head as she tried to avoid eye contact with Alex.

She felt that Alex would hate her or look down on her for that decision.

But unexpectedly, Alex did none of that, instead, he just nodded his head before he asked another question.

"You said, you had that thought 'for once', but what about the thought after it? What was it?"

This question of Alex froze Luna for a second before she recalled the moment of relief she had, the relief of knowing that even if she was going to die, others were safe.

A soft smile graced her lips as she recalled that feeling of relief, it felt so good, that even though she knew that she would be dead in less than a second, there was no fear in her heart.

Alex who saw her smile, couldn't stop his lips from rising, and before Luna could answer his question, he shook his head with a smile.

"You don't have to answer it, I already got my answer…"

His words, however, were not heard by Luna as she was stunned at his smile.

It was not because she was enamored by his smile, well she was, but not so much that she would be stunned. She had seen him smile a lot of times, so much that her resistance had gone up by a lot.

Luna was stunned because, unlike the normal casual or chill smile that he gave her, right now his smile was gentle.

Luna had stayed with Alex for 3 months and other than some selected few people, she had never seen him passing a gentle smile to anyone, so this was a very big achievement for her.

She felt like crying actually, but she held it in.

"You just wanted them to be safe, so much so that you didn't think about the consequences."

Alex continued with the same smile.

"For me Luna, all that matters are feelings, and I know that you wanted to save them, with all of your heart.

So, for me, you did save them."

Alex completed his words as he looked into Luna's eyes, his honest feelings flowing out.

"Um…"

Luna was feeling overwhelmed by all of those sincere words of Alex, she could tell that all of them were his heartfelt words, and he was not just making them up.

But that just increased the weight of his words.

"So, when I thank you for saving them, just reply like you should and not like you were doing till now."

Alex spoke with a chuckle.

'Luna is stammering, that's new….'

He knew that Alice would be happy looking at the speechless face of Luna, but he decided to let it be.

'I don't want to get in between them.'

Luna, who heard Alex's words, finally nodded and smiled lightly.

She was feeling happier than ever.

"So, again, thank you for saving them."

Alex made the same gesture as before and thanked Luna, and unlike before, this time Luna nodded her head with a smile.

"No problem, it is what I should do."

"Good, now to the important part…."

Alex nodded and then he looked at Luna with a mix of serious and poker face.

Luna, however, didn't get why the air around Alex changed all of a sudden.

"Since you saved them, someone whom I consider my closest, you deserve a reward as well."

'Ah…'

Alex's next words made her realize why he got so serious, but she just waved her hand with a smile.

"I don't want any reward for that, as I said before, I did what I wanted to, I didn't do it for a reward."

Alex nodded his head and continued.

"I know, but it doesn't change the fact that you did save them, the only people that matter to me from potential harm."

Alex was serious, and Luna could tell, so she just stared at him.

She knew that once Alex made up his mind, he was not going to change it, no matter what anyone did.

So, she kept quiet for a while before she spoke.

"I don't really want this reward that you want to give me, but I know you won't back down, so I might as well see what this reward is…."

Luna sat on a weight bench in front of Alex as she held her chin and looked at Alex thoughtfully.

"Good," Alex smiled at her before he added.

"You have one wish. You can ask me whatever you want, and I will try my best to fulfill it."

Alex spoke with a wide smile, but Luna almost fell off her seat when she heard his words.
