Awakening

"Young Master Ebson! Something terrible has happened! The patient you brought in is experiencing severe postpartum hemorrhage, and our blood bank is running low on blood!" A nurse, her hands covered in blood, rushed out of the operating room in a panic.

Hearing this, Bill, who was anxiously waiting outside, immediately panicked and shouted angrily, "What!? Damn it, where did that bastard Norman go? Bastard! With Pei Xi in such a difficult situation, he still has the mind to do experiments? That bastard!" After cursing Norman, Bill rushed to the nurse and said anxiously, "Quick! See if my blood can mix with my Younger Sister's! Hurry!"

Unfortunately, Bill's blood type was different from Pei Xi's. At this moment, Ebson, who had been sitting quietly, stood up and said softly, "Take mine, I'm blood type B."

Two large bottles of blood were drawn, unfortunately.

The doctor, covered in blood, emerged from the operating room, bowing deeply in apology. "I'm sorry, Young Master. Ebson, we did our best."

Thump! Bill's strong body collapsed to the ground.

Time flew by, and a few days later, Bill and Ebson attended Norman and Pei Xi's funeral together. That's right, Bill only learned afterward that Norman had been in a car accident on his way to the hospital.

Only a few Nobility in Marley owned cars, and having lost his Younger Sister, brother-in-law, and unborn nephew, Bill felt a sense of utter desolation.

At the funeral, Norman's mother and Younger Brother were heartbroken, especially Norman's mother, who fainted several times from crying, constantly repenting for stopping Norman.

In the midst of everyone's grief, no one noticed Ebson's expressionless face and the coldness in his eyes.

A few days later, the doctor who had bowed outside the operating room was now trembling near the Louis Family, holding a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. The doctor's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely disheveled and dejected.

Finally, the doctor found an opportunity to intercept Ebson was out alone.

"Young Master Ebson! I know it was you! I've done as you said, why are you still forcing me? You sent that corpse to the hospital to frame me, didn't you?" the doctor asked through gritted teeth.

Ebson, however, curiously examined the child in the doctor's arms and sneered, "So that's how it is. Looks like you weren't completely ruthless back then. This child... isn't dead?"

The doctor spat out a mouthful of phlegm viciously. "Yes! Young Master, you ordered me to kill a mother and child. I'm just an ordinary doctor, how could I dare refuse? But I had to be careful. That woman, even as she died, stretched out her hand, wanting to see the child. I showed no mercy, I cut her veins directly!"

Ebson shrugged. "Fine, you win. Name your price."

"One million! One million Marley Ringgit! Give me the money, and you can take the child and deal with him! Otherwise, I'll turn myself in to the Judicial Court right now!" the doctor demanded.

Ebson nodded and readily agreed, "Okay! I'll bring the money at this time tomorrow!"

The next day, a headless homeless man's body was found at the alley entrance, while on the balcony of the second floor of the villa, Ebson held the child, his expression somewhat complicated.

The newborn baby, only a few days old, didn't look very cute; his little face was still a bit wrinkled. Ebson reached out and pried open the baby's eyelids, and saw a pair of eyes exactly like the baby's own. He was immediately shocked.

Ignoring the baby's wailing in his arms, he quickly closed the swaddling clothes. Now, with just a slight loosening of his grip, the fragile child would fall from the second floor and die.

For some reason, Ebson just couldn't let go of those hands. After a long silence, Ebson summoned the Louis Family's new butler. Bill, dressed in a brand-new suit, walked into the room expressionlessly with a cigarette in his mouth and took the baby.

The scene before him shattered instantly, like a mirror breaking into countless fragments. Yago stood there, stunned, while his Great-Grandmother stood quietly behind Yago, carrying a small bucket of water.

So this is the past, this is the truth. The Artificial Titan was a promise my father made to my mother to change the Eldians, and my father was a time traveler from another world?

No wonder, no wonder Yago was puzzled as to why those so-called "time travel" memories in his mind were becoming increasingly blurry. It turns out, those weren't his memories at all; they were fragments of memories from his father, Norman Russell was the time traveler!

Yago silently turned around and saw his Great-Grandmother behind him. His Great-Grandmother also quietly looked at this junior who was determined to know the truth. Eren had come to the Paths with Yago, was nowhere to be seen. The boiling Blood Lake that was originally close by had also disappeared without a trace. All around was an endless white desert and a pillar of light that stretched to the sky in the distance. There were only two figures here: Yago and his Great-Grandmother.

The two stared at each other for a while before Yago said in a dry voice, "Founding Titan, you... you know everything?"

Great-Grandmother nodded. Yago asked, "Then do you believe that this world is... is a comic book? That we are all just characters in a drawing?"

Hearing Yago's words, Great-Grandmother tilted her head and smiled, raising the small bucket in her hand as a gesture. Her ethereal voice rang in Yago's ears, "Your bodies are sand too."

"Wait! Founding Titan, if what my father said is true, the Artificial Titan copied the coordinates of other Intelligent Titan, then why, why would you allow this? Ebson, I understand his purpose! His purpose is the Founding Titan, no, not just the Founding Titan, his target is the Hallucigenia!?" Yago suddenly realized something, staring wide-eyed at his Great-Grandmother, the crimson blood vessels in the distant, towering white pillar of light becoming even more conspicuous.

Great-Grandmother, perhaps unwilling to answer, turned to leave with her small bucket of water. But the instant Great-Grandmother turned, Yago's pupils contracted.

A hideous, grotesque worm was crawling on Great-Grandmother back. The worm was wrapped around Great-Grandmother waist, and its countless long legs, like sharp needles, pierced into Great-Grandmother body, from her spine down to the back of her neck. Strands of blood seeped from the puncture sites.

The moment Yago saw the strange insect, his breath caught in his throat, as if he were being stared at by something extremely terrifying. But this feeling vanished in an instant, and the trace of the strange insect was gone from his Great-Grandmother's back. It seemed that everything just now was Yago's illusion.

"It's time to go, junior. Follow the guidance of Fate, and you will know what to do." The ethereal words echoed again, followed by a strong sense of repulsion and pressure emanating from Yago.

The next second, Yago suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was Eren's large, curious face right in front of him.

"Smack!"

"Ah!!"

With a scream, Eren covered his face and stepped back, a red five-finger mark clearly appearing on his handsome face.
