The Great Mage - Chapter 5 Change Of Identity

After lying in bed for more than two weeks, Aurora finally regains consciousness.

The moment she woke up, it feels like her head is splitting into two. In a blurry state, there are two people sitting beside her and she can sense that it’s her parents.

“Mom, Dad what happen to me?” Aurora asked in a confuse expression. The last thing she remembers was testing her ability and after that she can’t remember anything.

Looking around, she had a grasp of where she is. Judging by the structure of the room and she once saw it on television it’s the Imperial Hospital.

With their family’s status, this is far from they can afford and this place is situated in Country A not in Country X.

“Mom, where are we? Is this the Imperial Hospital? Also what happened? Did they confirm that I’m an Adverse Mage?”

Aurora ask a lot of questions yet her parents is still not responding to her but just looking at her like it will be the last time seeing her, then suddenly Aurora chuckle a little, “What happen to the both of you? I’m really an adverse mage right? Aha! That’s why you’re left speechless!”

“I told you before that I’m never wrong! So Dad, from now on you will be bringing me along when you go hunt in the forest!” Aurora laugh, yet she still didn’t get the response she wants to then she finally sense something is wrong.

Looking at her daughter, Karen suddenly chokes and quietly sobs preventing her tears from falling yet it betrayed her. She doesn’t want to do this anymore!

Suddenly, Victor hardly grasps her hands and look at him. Only his side view she can see. That’s right, she’s the one who consented to this. She can’t take back what she had done.

Also this is for the safety and goodness of their daughter.

Aurora can’t help but feel her heart quickly beat in fear the moment her mom choke in tears. She felt afraid and with a quaking voice, she asked, “Mom, what’s going on? Why are you crying?”

Karen slowly stood up and walks towards her daughter and softly embrace her daughter and her tears started flowing.

Aurora hugged her back and pat her mom’s back, she couldn’t understand what’s going on then Karen suddenly speak, “Aurora, always remember that no matter what happens, you’re my daughter my one and only daughter and I will always be your mom.”

Aurora felt confuse, why is mom saying this to her? It was just an ability testing, why she had to be this emotional. “Mom, of course you’re my only mom. Why are you saying this, it’s like you’re giving me away.”

The moment Aurora said that, Karen tightly embraces her then the fear in her heart quickly grew and looking at her father, Victor only looked away.

“Mom, what’s going on?” Aurora asked hastily with a tinge of worry. Karen then suddenly let go of her and quickly wipe away her tears.

“Aurora, always remember that you’re father and I loves you. You are our miracle and you are my greatest happiness and blessing.” Hearing these words, Aurora’s tears suddenly fall down.

“Mom, why are you speaking like I’m not your daughter? What’s really going on! Can anybody explain this? Dad! Why is mom being like this!” Aurora demanded and shouted in anger.

“Aurora, you’re not our daughter. We are you’re adopted parents” Victor hardly said, it was painful for him to utter those words. It took him a lot of courage to do this. He already knew that he isn’t the true father of Aurora but she is truly Karen’s daughter.

for visiting.

Hearing what just her father said, Aurora’s vision suddenly cracked and for a moment time seems to stop and she can’t hear anything.

Those sentences, those words that her father utters, it repeated on her mind like a broken music player.

With blurry eyes, Aurora softly held her mother’s hand and weakly said, “Mom, dad is just lying right? I’m you’re daughter, I’m really am.”

“If this is about the magic testing or me following dad on the mountains then I would not do it anymore! I will listen to you now from now on! Just don’t disown me!” Aurora quickly rebutted and hugs her mom’s hand and not letting go.

Looking at their daughter’s state, their hearts throb in pain like its being hammered by a thousand nails.

“Aurora, my dear child. We do not disown you okay. Were just giving you back to your rightful parents okay” Karen stated, her heart wrench uttering those words.

She was the one who carried her for nine months, the child she’s been longing for is now someone’s child now. Nothing hurts more when you give your very own child, but in exchange she will be safe and protected.

“My rightful parents? But you are my parents!” Aurora shouted not believing any words they are saying. She can’t accept this!

Suddenly, a memory flashed through her. She remembers those times that other kids are saying.

Whenever she is being fetch by her mom or dad, they will always spoke about why does she doesn’t look like them? She always had that golden blonde hair and emerald eyes, while her parents is just the same normal black hair color and brown eyes.

When she grow up, she started looking to her parents ancestors, no one was like her. If that’s the case, then it’s really true that she’s not their daughter!

With that thought in mind, she slowly let go of her mom’s hand and sadly looked at them, “Is this the reason why that I don’t look like any of you? It’s because I’m someone else’s daughters, then why are you saying this to me now?”

Looking at his wife, Victor could feel her emotions. With a heavy heart, Victor told everything with the story they had made to Aurora

“Aurora, it was in the forest that we found you. You were just an infant back then and we did our best to find your parents but we couldn’t find anything so we decided to take care of you until you’re real parents came back”

“It was at the accident in the Magic Testing Center that you’re real parents got a hold of your identity and they speculated you could be there long lost daughter and it was true because of you’re birthmark”

“Those times were the best moments for us, Karen can’t get pregnant and you were our miracle. You gave us happiness and that’s already enough for us, no matter happens you will always be our blessing. Even if you are not beside us anymore, remember that you will always be our daughter”

Hearing what her father just said, then everything is really true. She’s not really their daughter. “What happened to me after my ability is check? And also, what about my real parents?” Aurora asked in hesitant

“You are a special mage and also a noble blood. You’re real parents is just outside the room.” Victor weakly said while Aurora lost all the energy she had and her eyes remain blank like she’s looking into nothing.

Karen pulled Victor up and both of them embrace their daughter, with a heavy heart Karen broke the silence, “Aurora, always know that we want the best for you. It doesn’t mean you will lose us, just think of that you gained another family and will love you more as much as we do. They already longed you for many years, it’s also right to give them this chance.”

It was then that Aurora loudly wails and cherishing the time she still had with them. They are right, she might be claimed by her true parents but they will always be a family to her.
