Hearing Luan confirm with such conviction that there was a way to save her daughter, Amanda was moved to tears. To be able to have her daughter back was something she most wanted at that moment. She rubbed her eyes and stared at Luan.
"Really? Son-in-law, if you are really capable, I don't even know how to compensate you... I- I will do everything you ask. Tell me what you need, what I should do!"
"Mother-in-law, you don't have to be so serious." Luan came and crouched close to her. "I do truly need help from you and Ingrid. That's because I need your blood to be able to create another body for Monica. Of course, this cannot be done in a single day. It will take 10 days in all, and that is why I already talked to my mother and if you are willing, stay in a guest room here at our home while every day I take a little of your blood and Ingrid's. By the tenth day, I think it will be enough to create the body for Monica, and I will also not draw much blood at once and help to replenish your blood with pills."
Of course, Luan didn't just want Amanda and Ingrid to stay because of this. He missed Ingrid, and he took this chance to make her move back to his house and also let his mother and sisters get acquainted with his mother-in-law. It was a perfect plan!
"As long as I can bring my daughter back to life, I don't mind sacrificing all of my blood!" Amanda was a mother who loved her daughters very much. Even when Monica had humiliated her before, Amanda never blamed her, but she blamed herself for not being able to have money and status for her daughter to be proud of her and not to feel embarrassed in front of her new boyfriend. Of course, she mostly regretted not trying to find out more about that rich guy, and it turned out that her daughter died at the hands of her daughter's boyfriend.
Maira, who went to the kitchen, came back with two glasses of hot chocolate and said, "Have a drink. This will help to calm yourself down."
"Er..." Now Amanda again remembered that it was the first time that she would be interacting with her son-in-law's family, and she was afraid she had made a fool of herself. And even though she couldn't help but regret it, since it was due to her daughter who she had until a moment ago been grieving, as sad as it was, she had made a not-so-good first impression. She gave an awkward smile and said, "Thank you, you are very kind."
"Thank you, mother-in-law." Ingrid was less reserved, she accepted the glass of hot chocolate with a gentle smile on her face.
By this time, Amanda and Ingrid had already risen from the floor and sat on the sofa in the living room. Monica was nearby, floating next to Amanda who looked at her with affection and guilt.
Looking at Amanda, Maira noticed that she looked like an honest and well-behaved woman, and although she came from a poor background, she had an air of elegance. Although she cried a lot recently after she calmed down, she was in fact an incomparable beauty. "Now I know from whom Ingrid inherited her good genes." Maira smiled at Amanda and said, "Nice to finally meet you, I'm Luan's mother. You can call me Maira."
"The pleasure is all mine." Amanda placed the cup of hot chocolate under the table and shook Maira's hand. She smiled, relieved to see that Maira was being so kind and didn't seem to despise her. "Sorry for the embarrassment I caused earlier."
"Don't say that, we are among family," Maira said with a smile. "I totally understand why you reacted like that. After all, it is your daughter we are talking about. There is no way to remain normal after receiving such a shock."
"Thanks for understanding." Amanda returned the smile and said, "You have a very beautiful family, and your son is incredible. My daughter is very lucky to meet you."
"Aunt, I am Catharina Dimas. It is a pleasure to meet you," Catharina said with a sweet smile and shook Amanda's hand.
Despite being more reserved and unable to interact with strangers, Amanda had a presence similar to Ingrid's and her aura was kind and easy to approach. Because of that, even Cristina felt calm when she said, "Hello aunt, I am Cristina Dimas... I am very happy to meet you."
"Hello kids, you two are so beautiful and cute," Amanda said with a sincere smile.
In the next few minutes, Luan explained to them how to bring Monica back to life. Two empty crystals were needed, something he already had. And every day, both Ingrid and Amanda would have to drop drops of blood on the crystal around which Luan would create a special formation, thus allowing the crystal to suck blood and begin the reconstruction of Monica's body.
Furthermore, it was necessary for Monica's soul to become stronger. Therefore, he took her soul that was linked to the vengeful soul crystal and linked it instead with a pure crystal. In the next 10 days that she would "stay" in the crystal, Monica's soul would be strengthened again, being strong enough to be able to revive in a new body compatible with her soul.
Seeing the two crystals that Luan showed them, Amanda was amazed. She didn't know how much it was worth, but she wasn't foolish to think it was cheap. She wanted to refuse, but it was to save her daughter. Biting her bottom lip, Amanda clenched her fists with the determination to pay one day for all the kindness that Luan had brought to her family. 'Ingrid got a good boyfriend!' she thought.
"Ingrid, Amanda, have you eaten yet?" Maira, who had heated the food for Luan before, asked.
"Not yet, mother-in-law," Ingrid remembered that before coming here, they were starting to make dinner.
"Excellent. Luan hasn't eaten yet, and I've already heated the food. You can feel at home and eat with him," Maira said with a smile.
"Mom, I'm sorry." Monica didn't know what she did wrong for the many years that passed and seeing how big her little sister was already, she could imagine that it was not something little. Besides, even though she did something wrong, her mother and her sister were willing to help her. She wanted to cry, but she had no tears. She apologized, feeling deeply guilty.
"Don't think about it too much, daughter. Everything is fine now." Amanda never took what Monica did before to heart. She may have been upset, but she never blamed Monica.
Returning to the table, sitting next to her daughter, Amanda ate a little and praised, "Wow! This is delicious!"
"Thanks." Maira was happy with the compliment and smiled a little.
On the second floor, Amanda stayed in the same room as Ingrid. It was basically Ingrid's room now, and even though she was used to sleeping in Luan's room, she gave in to her mother. Of course, she was going to sleep with her mom today, since she was ashamed to go to Luan's room with her mom here.
In the bedroom, Luan created a formation on the floor and detached Monica's soul, and linked in the two crystals. The two crystals stayed on top of the formation and floated in the air as if they had a life of their own. When Luan said to drip blood on the crystals, Amanda and Ingrid did not blink.
The blood spread and began to take the shape of a body, but it was just an empty shell of blood. It was still, after all, just the beginning. The two crystals would also change shape over time, one becoming a heart, with the other transforming into a brain, and all the other organs would be created through the blood and Qi of Heaven and Earth.
"It's done," Luan told them. "Now you just need to drip a little blood on the two crystals every day, and in time Monica's body will be rebuilt and her soul will already be linked to the body.
"Thank you very much, Luan!" Ingrid couldn't help but give Luan a tight hug.
Then Amanda hugged him, too. She was deeply touched and liked her daughter's boyfriend more and more.
"Okay, I'm going back to my room. If you need anything, you can call me," Luan said.
