LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 63: Her Voice is Lovely and Enchanting~
"Does Captain George not know Gwen's identity?"
On the way.
Swinging on her webs, Cindy glided past Jessica and Gwen and asked curiously, "Why does Captain George only lecture Jessica?"
After their spider senses intertwined, Gwen confessed her identity to Cindy.
Given that unique connection, it was impossible to hide it, so she decided it was better to come clean.
"Yeah, Gwen's still hiding it from her dad, hehe~"
Jessica, her feet glowing with a silver light, twirled happily in the air and teased Gwen, "Daddy's obedient little girl, Ghost Spider~"
"Jessica!"
Gwen, flustered and annoyed, shot a small web at Jessica, sticking it to her mask. "Tonight, I'm tying you up and letting your brother deal with you!"
[Warning: Vision Obstructed]
Inside Jessica's suit, a mechanical female voice reminded her: [Initiating airflow sensing for assisted flight. Please clear the obstruction quickly.]
This was her suit's built-in AI program—code-named "Knight," operating independently and entirely separate from Stark's J.A.R.V.I.S.
Gwen's suit also had a similar program, code-named "Ghost."
"Hey~ Hey!"
Jessica wobbled mid-air for a moment before stabilizing herself. "Gwen! You're getting worse!"
She peeled the web off her face and retorted, "It should be me tying you up for my brother to enjoy!"
If Ye Li were there, he would definitely give them a thumbs-up—such a good little sister! Such a great girlfriend!
Unfortunately.
At the moment.
He was somewhere else.
Busy with another girl—giving her guidance ↑ in life philosophy, and educating her ↑ in physiology...
…..
In Felicia's room.
Her silver hair cascaded over her snow-white back, as if blending seamlessly.
The girl's smooth, jade-like arms were wrapped around Ye Li's neck... sleeping soundly in his embrace...
At this moment.
She forgot all her troubles and worries.
In her dream.
Her debts were paid off, and her father's sentence was reduced.
She lived a happy life with the one she loved, as beautiful as a pure white fairy tale.
Beep beep—the phone rang.
"Mm..."
The exhausted Felicia stirred awake, her tired eyes opening slightly.
Rustle...
Ye Li shifted slightly while holding her delicate body, reaching out to grab the phone lying on the pillow and answering—[Hello—oh, it's George…]
Realizing it was Captain George calling.
Ye Li casually exchanged pleasantries: [Busy at work lately? Those new guys at the station must be a handful, huh?]
George chuckled: [Heh You're still so young, yet you're talking like an old man.]
[But for someone your age to achieve so much, you do have reason to be proud.]
[Sigh… it's about your sister...]
After praising him, George shifted topics: [Jessica is being far too reckless with this superhero stuff…]
At his desk, George was processing paperwork while complaining over the phone: […I've told her so many times, but look at her, she just won't listen!]
Ye Li felt helpless—Captain George was truly tireless in trying to get Jessica to change her ways...
He had no choice but to use his usual tactics, assuring George that he'd talk to his sister and set her straight...
Listening to their conversation, Felicia thought, […Captain George… it seems Li is quite close with him…]
Since Gwen and Ye Li's relationship wasn't publicly known, Felicia wasn't aware of their connection.
[...Right… now that I have money… I can ask the Captain about him…]
Thinking this.
Felicia shifted her sore, weakened body. "Mmm… ngh~"
Stretching her graceful neck, she leaned toward the phone.
She urgently asked in a soft voice, "Captain George… I know it's not right to interrupt your conversation with Li"
"But I can't wait any longer to tell you… I have money now… about my dad, could he…?"
[Hmm? What?]
Hearing a weak female voice suddenly on the line.
George froze.
This voice… is it Felicia, that girl?
"I mean…"
Felicia thought George hadn't heard her clearly, so she grabbed Ye Li's hand holding the phone and said, "...I've raised the money… how much can my dad's sentence be reduced?"
But George was more concerned with another matter: [Felicia? Why are you with Li, and why does your voice sound so… weak?]
"I…"
Felicia hesitated to tell the truth, glancing at Ye Li, who was calmly smiling at her.
As if encouraging her to say whatever came to mind.
So, she lied.
"It's like this..."
"Captain George, didn't you ask me to find Jessica to join the band?"
"Jessica wasn't home, so I found Li instead..."
"And my voice… it's because he wanted to test it… to see if I could sing well..."
[That's right, George.]
Ye Li smoothly took over the conversation, his calm and confident tone making it hard to doubt him.
[I'm aware of the situation.]
[Felicia is a good girl. She's been working hard to join the band and raise money for her dad, but she strained her voice while practicing, so she can't speak loudly right now.]
As he spoke.
He glanced at Felicia and spoke a heartfelt truth.
[However… I must say, her tone is lovely, and her voice is truly enchanting~]
