Aiden Finnegan's Medical Odyssey novel Chapter 6

Angelina lay on her bed as she recalled what had happened today. She didn't know what to feel about Aiden's sudden change in demeanor. Maybe I'm seeing things. He just got lucky today! She fell asleep as she thought to herself.

On the other hand, Aiden sat cross-legged on his single bed in a room that was supposed to be a storeroom next to Angelina's room. Wisps of white smoke were coming out from the top of his head, making him look ethereal.

He had to take hold of this opportunity now that God gave him another chance at life!

Aiden kept trying to feel and connect to that mystical point around his abdomen as he focused on the guidebook in his memories.

As he was once a martial arts master, it wasn't difficult to recover to that level with the help of one of the greatest guidebooks known to man. Suddenly, a muffled sound came from his body in the early hours of the morning.

Following that, an indescribable feeling enveloped his whole body as if he was laying on a bed of clouds.

During this period of meditation, he was healed and possessed the basic ability to gather inner energy and essential energy.

A glint flashed in his eyes when he opened them as he took a deep breath while his practice came to a stop. Then, when he wiped the sweat off his brow, he mumbled in relief, "I can finally practice martial arts again!"

The following day, Aiden woke up early to make breakfast as usual.

Even though he could store essential energy, he wasn't planning on giving up his position as a live-in son-in-law at the moment.

Last time, his enemies were lurking in the dark. But now, he was the one hiding in the shadows. This would make it convenient for him to investigate what had happened all those years ago.

Angelina got up, saw Aiden busy in the kitchen, and thought to herself. I was probably too tired and hallucinated yesterday. He's still a good-for-nothing.

"Food's ready! Let's eat." Aiden noticed her arrival and said with a smile.

After he served breakfast on the table, he turned around and went back into the kitchen.

"Why are you up so early?" she asked lightly.

He turned around and looked at her before commenting, "I'm always up this early. It feels different today because Mom's not home!"

She stared at him with mild incomprehension. She felt that he had changed overnight but couldn't put her finger on what it was.

He was still dressed in his usual clothes, and breakfast was as delicious as ever. Those facts repeatedly informed Angelina that this person was Aiden, who only knew how to bustle about in the kitchen.

But… Eyes! His eyes! There's something else in them. It's something he never had—confidence!

Aiden glanced at her and urged, "Eat quickly. The Grays will start troubling you again if you're late."

Then, he returned to the kitchen and sat on his dedicated seat before eating breakfast.

Although they had been married for three years, Aiden was still not allowed to eat at the dining table. This was a rule Linda had enforced, and Angelina didn't oppose it.

Angelina got what he was insinuating. It was about Linda being fussy and picky about Aiden's actions.

"Where did Mom go?" she asked.

"Don't know. She went out really early," he replied, and they both fell silent.

When Angelina was done with breakfast, she got ready to leave. But she suddenly turned around to face Aiden. "You can actually go look for a job. You know."

"Look for a job? Who's going to cook, then?" Aiden retorted. "It's been three years. Every time I go out to look for a job, your mom always calls me back. I know she wants me to rely on the Grays and live like a groveling dog. She's always saying that I don't make money and that I'm a good-for-nothing! But have you all given me a chance to prove myself?"

Angelina frowned deeply at his response. "If you really have what it takes, why would Mom keep calling you back?"

"Ha!" he sneered but didn't say anything else and turned around to clean the kitchen.

She was angered by his response and questioned lividly, "I'm trying to be nice! What's that attitude of yours? If that's the case, you can fend for yourself when we go our separate ways!"

"You don't need to worry about me since you have been planning on separating," Aiden answered with a shrug.

Boom! Angelina slammed the door slammed and felt like she was going to explode.

Aiden is still the same! He's still a good-for-nothing. No. He's not just a good-for-nothing. He's also a shameless lout!
