Chapter 3

Everyone was completely stunned by the old priest's reaction.

No one could understand why the usually composed and dignified old priest would suddenly kneel on the ground like a madman.

"Priest, what's wrong with you?"

"What angelic language?"

"What on earth is this guy reciting?"

The guests around them stirred in confusion.

But the old priest paid no attention to anyone.

At this moment, he was staring intently at Ethan with an almost pilgrimage-like gaze.

As a clergy member who had served the church for decades.

He understood better than anyone.

What the prayer Ethan was reciting meant.

It was the long-lost sacred prayer.

According to legend, it was a language that could only be used by those who truly possessed angelic bloodline.

The Prayer of Michael.

It was the power closest to miracles.

"Oh God..."

The old priest trembled all over. Tears even streamed down his face.

And at this very moment.

A faint golden glow slowly lit up at Ethan's fingertips.

The light wasn't blinding.

Yet it was so holy it seemed otherworldly.

Like dawn.

Or like the first ray of morning light before sunrise.

The old priest's body shook violently.

Because just now.

He seemed to see a blurry six-winged shadow appear behind Ethan.

But the next second.

The vision disappeared.

As if it had never existed.

The old priest's voice trembled, "Could it be... I saw wrong?"

But the others around them couldn't see anything.

They could only feel.

The air seemed to have become warmer.

The originally oppressive and stuffy church also inexplicably gained a reassuring atmosphere.

Ethan continued praying in a low voice.

As the Prayer of Michael kept echoing.

That drop of dragon clan holy water began to slowly merge into Aria's forehead.

Faint golden patterns spread from her forehead.

Then quickly faded away.

The next second.

Aria's face, which had been pale as paper, gradually regained a hint of color.

The private doctor nearby was the first to notice something was wrong.

He suddenly looked down at the monitoring instruments.

Then his expression changed dramatically.

"Wait!"

"Her vital signs are recovering!"

The entire church instantly became noisy!

"What?"

"Is this real?"

"How is this possible?"

Chloe's expression changed sharply.

"Impossible!"

"She's been in a coma for seven years!"

"The best doctors in the country were helpless!"

"How could this loser possibly cure her?"

Jack also frowned.

Unease appeared in his eyes for the first time.

Because the scene before them had exceeded their understanding.

And in the next second.

Aria's eyelashes suddenly trembled slightly.

The entire church fell completely silent.

The caretaker was the first to break down crying, "Ms. Rockefeller! Can you hear me?"

She rushed to the wheelchair, her body shaking uncontrollably with excitement.

All these years, only she had been taking care of Aria.

She hoped more than anyone that Aria would wake up.

And now.

A miracle had truly happened.

Ethan slowly opened his eyes.

In those eyes, a faint golden light seemed to flash and disappear.

Then he spoke softly, as if a deity were issuing a decree, "Aria. Wake up."

The moment his voice fell.

Those blue eyes that had been closed for seven years finally slowly opened.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

The entire church was so quiet you could hear breathing.

The next second.

Complete chaos erupted!

"She's awake!"

"She really woke up!"

"Oh God!"

"How is this possible?"

Everyone screamed like crazy.

Some guests even stood up directly, watching this scene with shock written all over their faces.

Because no one could have imagined.

A criminal just released from prison had actually created a miracle.

Arthur and Catherine rushed forward even more excitedly.

"Aria!"

"My daughter!"

Catherine even started crying directly, as if she were truly a mother who deeply loved her daughter.

But Ethan just watched all this coldly.

Because just moments ago, these people had treated Aria as a burden.

Now that she was awake, they instantly changed their tune.

Aria was obviously still quite weak.

She slowly looked around, her eyes confused.

Then her gaze stopped on Ethan.

Aria paused slightly, seeming to recognize something.

"It's you..."

Her voice was very soft, yet exceptionally pleasant.

"I remember you."

Ethan smiled warmly, "Long time no see."

At this moment.

Aria finally became fully conscious.

And the way everyone around looked at Ethan had completely changed.

Especially the old priest.

The way he now looked at Ethan was almost like looking at a saint descended to earth.

He muttered to himself, "A miracle! This is a miracle!"

His body trembling constantly with excitement.

On the other side.

Chloe's expression had become extremely ugly.

She simply couldn't accept it.

That Aria, who had been a vegetable for seven years, had actually awakened.

What made it even harder for her to accept was—the person who woke Aria was Ethan.

That loser she had once trampled underfoot.

Chloe clenched her fists tightly, her nails even digging into her palms, "Impossible. Absolutely impossible."

She suddenly felt a sense of losing control.

Originally, today should have been a humiliation.

She wanted to make Ethan and Aria the laughingstock of all California.

A criminal.

A vegetable.

What a perfect combination.

But now, things had completely spiraled out of her control.

What made Chloe's expression even uglier was that the moment Aria woke up, Arthur and Catherine immediately changed their attitude.

Chloe knew very well that the favor and status she had gained in the Senna family over the years would soon return to Aria.

Not only because Aria was excellent enough.

But more importantly, she was the only surviving direct heir of the Rockefeller family.

Years ago, the Rockefeller family suffered heavy losses in a disaster, with numerous heirs dying, and young Aria was visiting the Senna family, who had collateral bloodline ties, at the time. After the incident, the Senna family announced they would adopt Aria.

Nominally it was adoption and protection.

But in reality, what the Senna family truly valued was the enormous wealth behind Aria that could change the family's destiny.

Now that Aria had reawakened.

The "heir" that the Senna family truly valued had returned.

Thinking of this, she immediately looked at Jack, wanting him to say something for her.

But she found that Jack was staring at Aria with hungry eyes, like a starving wolf seeing a fat sheep.

Chloe completely broke down.

On the other side, Arthur's eyes also changed.

He immediately turned to look at Ethan.

Just moments ago he had been full of gratitude.

Now he was instantly cold, "Alright. I'm announcing the wedding is canceled."

The air stilled slightly.

Everyone looked at Arthur.

Arthur said coldly, "Mr. Sterling, we thank you for waking Aria. But this wedding was always a special circumstance. Now that Aria has recovered, naturally there's no need to continue."

Catherine also quickly caught on, "That's right. It was just a temporary measure. Don't worry, the Senna family will compensate you."

At this point, she even showed a hint of condescending charity.

As if giving Ethan some money were already a great favor.

Ethan suddenly smiled.

The faces of these wealthy families were truly as disgusting as ever.

Just moments ago, they couldn't wait to marry Aria off immediately.

Now that she was awake, they instantly turned their backs.

And just then, a weak but firm voice suddenly rang out.

"Wait."

Everyone froze at once.

They saw Aria gently grasping Ethan's sleeve.

She raised those blue eyes, looking seriously at Ethan, "I'm willing to marry you."
