My Comatose Wife Keeps Eavesdropping on My Thoughts - Chapter 1:

Chapter 1: Elune.

Lunaris City, upper district, the Selenis family mansion.

Night flowed like water. Silver-white moonlight slipped through the curtains, washing the entire bedroom in a hazy, sacred glow.

A young girl lay quietly asleep on a large bed covered in white silk.

Her long white hair was as crystalline as snow. The strands were fine and smooth, glowing with faint specks of starlight beneath the moon’s radiance as they spilled down beside her pillow.

Her skin was fair as ice, her bones delicate as jade. Her brows and eyes looked as though they had been painted by hand, while her fine nose and cherry-like lips were exquisitely shaped. It was not only her appearance that was flawless, even the structure of her features was beyond reproach.

At that moment, her chest rose and fell gently with faint breaths. Her slender, thin fingers were folded over her abdomen, making her look like Sleeping Beauty from a fairy tale.

This young girl’s name was Elune, the second young lady of the Selenis family. In her early years, because of her outstanding beauty, she had already become known throughout Lunaris City as its number one beauty.

However, for some unknown reason, from a certain day 2 years ago, she had suddenly fallen asleep and never woken up again.

Although there were still faint signs of life, she could not control her own body. Even her consciousness came and went intermittently. In other words, she was in the so-called persistent vegetative state.

A pure vegetative patient through and through.

This sudden and unexpected situation had thrown the entire Selenis family into utter anxiety. Over the past 2 years, they had invited countless doctors to examine her condition, but all of them had been helpless and returned without success.

Yet no one knew that Elune’s consciousness had not fallen asleep along with her body.

On the contrary, she had been awake the entire time.

She could even tell that yesterday’s nutritional fluid had 0.2 grams less sugar added to it, and she had lodged a solemn protest about it.

[Most transcendents in this world awaken at the beginning of Sequence Path 9.]

[There are also a very small number of monsters who awaken directly at Sequence 8 or Sequence 7.]

[And I, Elune, the chosen daughter who inherited the will of the Selenis family’s ancestors, awakened directly into the Luxury System’s Sequence 6 Path, Moon.]

[This frail human body cannot withstand the powerful energy of a Sequence 6 Path, which is why it temporarily fell into sleep. However, there is no need to worry. In another year or so, I will be able to wake up completely.]

[Before that…]

[Can someone change the nutritional fluid into milk tea? Even just for 1 meal would be fine. This child is about to cry from craving it…]

Elune complained silently in her heart.

If she had truly become a complete vegetative patient, that would have been one thing. However, she just had to be conscious while unable to move. That was true torment, making every day feel like a year.

During these 2 years, her only pastime had been using the extraordinary ability attached to the Moon Path to “eavesdrop” on the conversations and inner thoughts of the people around her.

For example, the maids’ fantasies about the latest romance novels in their minds…

“Click, click.”

At that moment, a crisp sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside the door.

The moment Elune heard that familiar and intimate sound of high heels touching the floor, she knew her elder sister had come.

A few seconds later, the door was pushed open.

A blonde woman dressed in a black women’s military uniform walked in. Her pupils and hair were both a brilliant golden color like the sun, and she seemed to be in her early 20s.

In her arms, she held an elegant white cat. This kitty wore an exquisite sapphire necklace around its chest. Its blue vertical pupils were half-open, making it look lazy yet noble.

Adele Selenis.

Elune’s elder sister, and also the eldest daughter of the Selenis family.

At present, she served as a squad captain in Lunaris City’s Night Patrol branch.

“Elune…”

“2 years have already passed, yet you still remain asleep. What exactly should I do?”

Hearing her elder sister Adele’s helpless and sorrowful voice, Elune felt a little stifled inside.

She desperately wanted to move her finger with all her strength, to respond to the feeling of her elder sister visiting her every day. Yet no matter what, her body refused to obey her.

A few seconds later, the white cat in Adele’s arms spoke in human language, “Adele, if you want Elune to wake up as soon as possible, you can consider the suggestion I gave you last time.”

“The first method is to forcibly use Forbidden Object No. 991, [Black Candle], on her and directly fulfill 1 wish. However, by doing so, her lifespan will be randomly reduced by anywhere from 1 to 99 years.”

“As long as you spend a few contribution points, you can borrow it temporarily from Night Patrol Headquarters.”

“The second method is to have a transcendent of the Nature System’s Sequence 9 Path, [Wind Addict], make physical contact with the young lady every day.”

“Transcendents of the Wind Addict Path can soften the emotional fluctuations of the people around them. This will most likely accelerate Elune’s awakening process.”

“However, when a Wind Addict feels restless and uneasy, they will also negatively affect the mood of those around them.”

“So methods like imprisonment and coercion definitely will not…”

“No. Absolutely not!”

Before the white cat could finish speaking, Adele rejected it decisively.

Neither method would work.

Leaving aside whether the Black Candle would directly deduct all of Elune’s lifespan, Adele had already looked into the second method as well. The 3 transcendents of the Wind Addict Path in Lunaris City were all men. How could she possibly let them stay privately with Elune, who could not resist, while also creating a quiet, comfortable, and warm environment?

Doing so would truly damage Elune’s reputation.

Even if Elune woke up, she would never be happy about it.

[That’s right. Absolutely not.]

[Aunt Bai, stop meddling in other people’s business!]

Elune also anxiously echoed the sentiment in her heart.

This white cat had been raised by their mother since it was young. Because it had accidentally eaten a sequence potion once, it awakened an extraordinary sequence. It was already more than 30 years old, yet it still showed no sign of aging. It had even learned to speak human language.

In a certain sense, it could be considered half an elder who had watched Elune and Adele grow up.

Elune believed that Aunt Bai would not harm her.

But these 2 suggestions were a little too perverted.

However, at that very moment, although Adele was deeply resistant in her heart, after a long silence, she lowered her head and gazed at her younger sister, who remained asleep before her. A trace of hesitation and wavering gradually flickered across her face.

“Although private contact with a strange man would damage her reputation…”

“But Elune has already reached the age for marriage, after all.”

“If, if…”

“If it is a normal marriage arrangement, perhaps…”

“All right, Aunt Bai. You stay here and look after her. I’ll go take another look at the information on the Wind Addicts in the Lunaris City region!”

After saying this, Adele suddenly turned and left. Her military boots struck the marble floor with hurried clicking sounds as she rushed toward her study.

Only Elune and the white cat remained in the room.

Elune:?

No, wait…

Marriage?

Let a vegetative patient like herself…?

What did that mean?!
