Chapter 6 Stand-Off

• Somehow, Neil found Quana's tone odd. The car continued driving forward as Quana remained silent throughout the journey. Neil, on the other hand, was desperately trying to recall his host body's memories, but to no avail, no matter how hard he tried. "Hey… There's something I need to ask you." Neil asked nervously.
• Without looking back, Quana replied coldly, "What is it?"
• "Well, what is your name? Or, more accurately, how should I address you?"
• Suddenly, Quana turned around and glared at Neil. However, Neil felt wronged as he thought to himself, Come on, just keep it to yourself if you don't wanna tell me. Why are you even staring at me for? Look, I really don't know who you are! Soon, they arrived at a high-end residential area on the Westside of Nicosa City. Quana was living in a three-story villa. Neil looked at the villas and mumbled, "Wait, that's my home? Not bad!" They stopped at one of the villas. So, they got out of the car. Quana walked ahead, while Neil followed. He scanned the area while he walked.
• "Oh Quana, you're finally home! Were you busy today? Why didn't you answer your dad's calls? He has been calling you earlier." A woman in her fifties welcomed them as soon as they entered.
• "I was a little busy at the hospital," Quana replied as she entered.
• Quana? Quana Logan? "So, my wife's name is Quana Logan? What a beautiful name!" Neil finally found out his wife's name.
• "Hey mom. Where's dad?"
• "He went to the nearby tea shop."
• Judging from Quana and the woman's conversation, Neil finally understood that the woman with heavy make-up was his mother-in-law. He glanced at her and thought, Hmm, I'd give her 6 points for her skin quality and 7 points for how trendy she dressed. Wow, Quana really resembles her mother! However, just as Neil was about to praise his mother-in-law, his mother-in-law, Leah Carter, finally turned her attention to him. "Hey, you brat! What are you doing here? Who allowed you b*stard to come back? What makes you think that useless trash like you can be our son-in-law!" Leah yelled at Neil as if he were her mortal enemy.
• Huh? Neil was stunned by Leah's verbal assaults. He wondered What is going on? Could this be the rumored evil mother-in-law? Damn! The rumors were right!
• "Mom, I told him to come back," said Quana as she deescalated the situation.
• "Gosh, honey, why did you tell this useless trash to come back? He left without saying a word and this nearly angered your dad so much that he had a heart attack! How could you want him to come back?" said Leah in a puzzled tone.
• "Alright mom. That's enough. Regardless, he's still my husband after all!" Leah stopped making anymore comments when she noticed Quana getting upset. However, she glared at Neil. Her glares were incredibly menacing. Neil finally entered the villa after that. However, he felt wronged. Quana's villa was massive, and it could be considered one of the best villas out there. Quana went straight to her room on the second floor after that. Neil, on the other hand, decided to sit in a quiet spot alone. He had also decided to live an easy life by eating when it was time to eat, and spending time with his wife… However, before he could relax, Leah started another round of verbal abuse at Neil.
• "Hey, you brat! Did you really think that this was your house? How could you just sit there? Hurry up and start cooking!"
• Neil thought to himself Fine, I'll take that abuse for now! He decided that he was the Legendary Healer, and should not be bothered by the insults of the common folk.
• "Hey, you brat! The table is filthy! Hurry up and clean up this mess!"
