Apocalypse Cheater

Chapter 20: A Mother's Love

As Daniel began to share the truth with his mother, he made a conscious decision to be completely honest.

He divulged every detail, leaving no room for deception or hidden information.

From the moment Modern Fantasia was released until the present day, he recounted the events as they unfolded.

He described the emergence of the Divine Being, the mysterious phenomenon that had given all humans unique abilities, and the subsequent future he had experienced.

Leila listened attentively, her initial shock giving way to a sense of openness and understanding.

The unexplained phenomenon of the Divine Being further validated the plausibility of Daniel's story.

It was no longer a stretch of the imagination and the missing puzzle piece behind Daniel's sudden changes had been explained because of this.

As she processed the information, Leila's initial shock transformed into a cautious acceptance.

She considered the possibility that there was more to their reality than what met the eye.

The existence of the Divine Being and the unexplained events hinted at a deeper truth that couldn't be ignored.

Despite the overwhelming nature of the revelations, Leila recognized the importance of staying calm.

She maintained a level-headed approach, after all, what was important wasn't the Divine Being or Modern Fantasia but rather, her son.

He's the most important person in her life, and thus, she's concerned and worried about him.

Daniel, appreciating his mother's willingness to listen and comprehend, shared additional information about the nature of Modern Fantasia and the potential dangers it posed.

He explained how powers could be obtained and the looming threat of an impending apocalypse.

Leila's mind raced as she processed the gravity of the situation.

The prospect of an apocalypse and the need to confront it head-on was daunting, but she refused to let fear paralyze her.

Her love for Daniel was enough to let the world fear her, and she wouldn't lose to the apocalypse.

Now that it was clear to her, Leila moved on to the most concerning matter.

'So after all this time, the reason behind his sudden change of accepting me and his otherworldly disappearance is because of the future?'

'No wonder he seemed a little bit mature. If the Entity hadn't appeared, I would have doubts, but now it made sense'

His maturity and acceptance of her, which had puzzled her before, now made sense.

Nevertheless, Leila couldn't deny the significance of this revelation.

If Daniel had experienced the future, it meant that they held valuable insights that could shape their actions and decisions.

The gravity of the situation weighed on Leila's heart as she considered the implications for her son.

The burden of carrying knowledge about the future, especially when it involved potential dangers and uncertainties, must have been overwhelming for him.

She felt a mix of pride for his maturity and worry for the weight he bore.

With a deep breath, Leila made a firm decision.

She would not let her son shoulder this burden alone.

She would be his confidante, his support, his ally, and even his woman as they navigated the challenges ahead.

No matter how hard and hopeless the future is, she would believe in him and stand by his side as she did once in Daniel's future.

Even after all of this, she was worried about his current body and mentality.

Looking into Daniel's eyes, she spoke with a mix of concern, determination, love, and obsession.

"Sweetie, no matter what happens, I will always be here for you. I'll be there whenever you need me, and this time, you won't be alone and we'll face whatever lies ahead together"

Leila held Daniel's cheeks and spoke with a heartwarming tone.

Hearing those words that had lifted a huge burden off his shoulders, Daniel cried.

"I-I''

It was overwhelming for him to be able to survive for so long.

It was a lonely, sad, and depressing journey but it was surprising that he made it far.

But looking at her eyes that reminded him of the night, her scent that comforted his nervousness, and her warmth that made him feel protected, he missed it all.

Revealing the truth to his mother had awakened memories of sadness and the trauma that lay dormant inside his mind and heart.

The death of his loved ones leaves a scar of trauma that can never be recovered, at least not now.

At that point, he questioned himself.

'If I weren't this weak could I have achieved a better outcome...?'

This question kept occurring all the time to the point he had nightmares in his sleep and it gnawed away his sanity bit by bit.

Although he has somehow returned to the past, he becomes doubtful whether he can prevent the unavoidable apocalypse.

Noticing the state he was in, Leila without a pause embraced his head towards her chest with lots of love.

"Shhh, don't be sad...aren't I here? What happens to that different future isn't your fault sweetie"

Leila patted and slowly caressed his head as she cooled down his turmoil emotions and moments like this could she finally execute her motherly duties.

"I'm your mother and no matter how many times or how different the future is, I won't hesitate to put down my life for you"

"You're my most beautiful and precious treasure that I can ever ask for, and know that I forever will love you from the bottom of my heart and that will be my promise towards you"

She gently caresses his hand with her soft fingers.

Leila couldn't imagine the future he had and how impactful could it be.

But in the end, all she wishes is the best for him and she doesn't mind sacrificing her life no matter how many times just for him to live.

To add on, she sent a thumbs up to the parallel for a good job of causing a change in Daniel.

Daniel's mental state began to calm as he listened to the sound of her heartbeat on her chest.

Without realizing it, Daniel fell into a peaceful slumber as his mind found solace in the soothing rhythm of his mother's heartbeat.

The gentle rise and fall of her chest, accompanied by the steady thump, created a sense of calm within him.

In that tranquil state, Daniel's thoughts drifted to a world free from the chaos and uncertainties that had plagued him.

He imagined a place where peace reigned, where his fears and worries were washed away by the harmonious sound of his mother's heartbeat.

With each passing moment, the weight of his burdens lifted, replaced by a sense of serenity.

The troubles that had once troubled his mind seemed distant and insignificant in the presence of his mother's unwavering love and support.

Unbeknownst to Daniel, his exhaustion and the comforting rhythm lulled him into a deep sleep.

As he drifted further into slumber, he found refuge in the symphony of his mother's heartbeat, unaware of the time passing by.

Leila remained by his side, her eyes filled with love and tenderness as she watched her son find peace in his dreams.

She understood the healing power that her presence held for him, even in his unconscious state.

The sound of her heartbeat continued to serenade him, creating a cocoon of tranquillity around him.

Leila gently stroked his hair, cherishing the sight of her son's peaceful slumber.

As Daniel slept, his dreams were filled with visions of a brighter future, where the lives of his loved ones lived on a peaceful earth.

Throughout it all, the soothing sound of his mother's heartbeat remained a constant presence, reminding him that he was not alone.

In that peaceful state, both mother and son found solace.

On the other hand, watching how Daniel slept, Leila became frantic.

She felt proud as a mother for being able to perform her duties well, but as a woman, she burst into euphoria.

'~Ah~ His sleeping face...is too cute and precious!'

She tried hard to maintain her explosive emotions. It happened only for a second before she every back to her solemnity self.
