My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 574: Amelia's Sorrowful Past 4

-----

Amelia didn't understand what was happening to her…

She sometimes asked where her child was.

"Where is my child?! G-Get away from me! Y-You're not my child! Aahhh! AAAAAHHH!!!"

The little Frank didn't knew what was happening to her…

He was a victim to his mother's dementia.

At the end, his grandmother finally found him after a lot of searching.

Amelia had gone missing with him after all, changed her phone, and she couldn't even find her.

Until she went to a hospital and was called by an emergency number.

Amelia's mother then discovered that her daughter has been drinking for years, while leaving her child barely managing by himself.

She felt so regretful and guilty… she had to do something.

She quickly brought Amelia to a clinic after she survived the operation.

And she was slowly detoxified from all the alcohol in her system, while recovering.

It was a painful recovery.

But she persevered, as her sanity sometimes emerged like glimpses.

Remembering her son gave her strength…

"Frank… Frank… Frank!"

She muttered her son's words as she painfully lived every day in the clinic.

She gritted her teeth and cried.

Her body was so used to alcohol that she got immense headaches that not even the strongest drugs could soothe.

The only thing she could do was endure.

Endure.

Persevere.

It was a battle between her and her traumas.

And her own body that was now used to killing itself with alcohol.

She moved forward…

Step by step, while the little Frank was taken care by his beloved grandma, although every day he missed his mother, even after what she did.

He knew that she had done it without bad intentions, but because she had a lot of mental problems.

He wanted her to get better and go back to how she used to be.

"Mommy…"

A lot of time passed.

And the day came…

Amelia felt strong now.

She felt like… she could try again.

Her mother gave her an opportunity.

An opportunity to amend herself and become a better person.

For her son.

Her meeting with him was very emotional.

Mother and son broke into tears desperately hugging one another.

They missed each other so much they couldn't believe it…

Since then that… things finally began to go forward into a certain direction.

It was still hard.

Sometimes Amelia would still get strong headaches, but she would grit her teeth and endure them while her son hugged her and told her that everything would be okay.

She learned to live with her pain and traumas.

And ended growing incredibly strong-willed.

She became a woman she never thought she would become…

After years, she ended giving it a try once more.

Maybe… she could try love once more.

She wandered through forums, then dating sites, and ultimately dating apps… but every person was just looking for a one night of sex and that was it.

She wanted an honest relationship of love… but it was hard to find it.

These sites wouldn't really do.

She ended resigning herself until she suddenly met a doctor, a new and young man from her mother's clinic.

He was Japanese but spoke English incredibly eloquently.

He was also very open and gentle, and also fun, always joking around whenever Amelia was, she grew fond of him and often smiled when she saw him…

One thing went to another, and he suddenly asked her for a date.

"A-Amelia… it is okay if you don't want to but… I wanted to give it a shot… I know I am not really… a handsome man… but…"

"Okay."

"Eh?"

"Let's go on a date, Okita!"

"R-Really?"

"Yeah!"

Okita's eyes shone the brightest that day, and Amelia's eyes too.

Since then they began to date every weekend.

Going around the places in the city and more…

Slowly… they fell in love with one another.

Amelia wanted to move forward and find love again.

The intoxicating feeling of being loved… It was as drug she wanted to taste again, even with all the risks that came with it.

Maybe she had grown a bit bolder at the end.

After two and a half years of dating they went for it, became an official couple, and quickly after suddenly getting pregnant again, they married.

"Amelia I got a big house back on Japan… I… I am fine if you want to stay in America too, no problem! But… I thought I could give it a shot and offer this option… Maybe for a change of pace?" he asked.

"…Japan?"

She suddenly realized that going to another country was the perfect way to start over.

She now had a child slowly growing inside her belly, soon to be born…

Maybe the little half-Japanese girl would want to be born in her father's country?

Or for whatever other reason… she boldly accepted.

"Alright… Let's start over there!" she said.

"A-Amelia!"

"Okita!"

The lovestruck couple hugged and kissed each other.

Frank wasn't against it, he at that time was into a lot of Japanese stuff, one of his dreams was going there, but living there? It was a whole new amazing thing, so he easily agreed.

Well, Japan didn't ended being like the anime…

But still, it was a way prettier place than America.

It was cleaner, people were more decent too, although as an American, he was a bit looked down upon, but he was too dumb to realize anyways.

Amelia also had a bit of a hard time getting used to it, but with the help of Okita and her little girl, and her boy, all four of them got used to such a life, slowly yet steadily…

For some time it was like that…

Until…

Something tragic, and completely out of nowhere happened, which shattered her very perception of what was really… reality.

A mysterious man showed up in the door of their house that morning.

"Knock, knock… Ah! Hello…"

"W-Who are you?"

"I am a friend! They call me Wasp."
