Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires - Chapter 318

Chapter 318: Mom! What Happened To You!? – 1
Seeing Nadia covered in blood, Asher couldn’t help but sigh to himself, knowing that this was his fault. She was blaming herself for what had happened and was trying to vent her rage by killing these evil people. It was the only way she knew how to cope with her guilt.

However, Asher didn’t want Nadia to be consumed by her own rage. He knew that she was hurting, so he wanted to comfort her and let her know that he was okay and that he didn’t blame her for what happened. He knew that she would have never let anything happen to him if she could help it. She was his guardian and protector, after all.

With that thought in mind, Asher walked over to her and pulled her into an embrace. This simple action brought Nadia out of her stupor, and she looked at him in surprise. She didn’t expect him to approach her in this state. She was covered in blood and gore. Her white hair was dyed crimson red, and her clothes were soaked in the sticky fluid.

“Young Master, what are you doing? I’m… I’m dirty.” Nadia tried to protest, but she couldn’t push him away without using any strength. She knew that she had to control her strength at all times when around Asher; otherwise, she might hurt him by accident. Not to mention, at this moment, her emotions were running high, and she felt like she could break a mountain in two.

Asher just shook his head and smiled. “It’s okay, Nadia. I don’t care about that. You can be as dirty as you want. All I care about is you.”

“But… but… I’m not fit to be near you in this state.”

“Nonsense. I love you no matter what you look like, Nadia. Whether you are covered in dirt, blood, or grime, you will always be beautiful to me.”

Without waiting for Nadia to respond, Asher pulled her closer and captured her lips with a gentle kiss. It was a soft kiss that expressed all of his love for her. He didn’t want anything more than to be close to her and feel her body press against his.

Nadia froze for a second before wrapping her arms around Asher’s neck, returning the kiss with equal passion. It was as if she had been given breath again. It felt like all the pain and sadness she had been holding back came pouring out through that one kiss.

Tears rolled down her cheeks, mixing with the blood and grime on her face. She didn’t know what to say or think. All she knew was that, without him, she wouldn’t be able to go on. She needed him like the air she breathed and the blood that flowed through her veins. She needed him more than anything else in the world.

After a while, Asher pulled back and wiped away her tears. “I’m sorry. Due to my carelessness, I made you worry.”

“No! Young Master, this isn’t your fault. I should have been more cautious. If I had thought things through, none of this would have happened.” Nadia shook her head, refusing to accept his apology.

Before Nadia could say anything else, Asher placed a finger on her lips, silencing her. “No more blaming yourself, Nadia. We all make mistakes. But now that everything has been taken care of, let’s focus on moving forward. We can’t change the past, but we can learn from it and grow stronger.”

“Yes. I understand.” Nadia nodded, a small smile appearing on her face. She couldn’t help but feel better after hearing Asher’s words. He didn’t seem like the same little child she used to take care of. He was now a mature and caring man who had a firm grasp on reality. She was proud of him, and she knew that he would do great things in the future.

Even so, Nadia didn’t want to repeat what happened. In order to prevent any other accidents from happening, she swore to always be vigilant and careful in the future.

When Asher turned around, he saw his mother flying in his direction, and he smiled. However, just as he was about to say something, he saw Aria’s face go pale, and she fell from the sky like a stone, landing right in front of him with a thud.

Blood poured out of Aria’s mouth, and her breathing became labored. Her body trembled as she tried to get up, but she couldn’t even move her fingers. She was in excruciating pain, and it was obvious that she wouldn’t be able to recover from her injuries anytime soon.

“Mom!” Asher shouted as he ran towards her, his eyes wide open in shock. He had never seen Aria like this before, and it scared him more than anything else he could ever imagine. She was always strong and confident, but now she looked weak and vulnerable. It was a sight that broke his heart.

“Mom! What happened to you!?” Asher cried out as he cradled Aria’s head in his hands. His heart beat like a drum, and he felt like he was going to pass out at any moment. This was something that he had never experienced before, and it was terrifying.

Aria tried to speak, but she couldn’t. Her voice wouldn’t come out. She was in too much pain to form any coherent words, so she could only lie there and gasp for air.

Seeing her condition, Asher was overcome with panic and fear. He couldn’t bear to see her suffer like this. He didn’t know what to do or how to help her. All he knew was that he had to do something, anything.

But nothing came to mind. It was as if his mind was empty, devoid of any thoughts. Like his brain had shut down completely. He was so consumed by his emotions that he couldn’t think straight.

However, Asher didn’t allow his mind to stop working. With all his mental might, he pushed his mind to its limit, and his eyes lit up as an idea came to him.

‘That’s right! I can use the Astral Nexus Core Orb!’
