Capítulo 25: Recovering Lily's Data
Ziro reached his house and parked his bike in the garage. He closed all the doors and locked them before going into the living room.
"Today was a wonderful day," he claimed.
He went straight into the kitchen and filled the glass with cold water.
"Only if this headache goes away," he added.
Ziro was also having a headache ever since he took a bath with Alina. It was a precious opportunity to spend time with Alina since she rarely visited him.
He drank the water and went to the living room as his gaze fell at the table in the living room that was full of half-eaten pizzas and dishes everywhere.
SIGH~
"I forgot about this," he muttered.
He grabbed all the packed pizzas and put them into the refrigerator.
"Tomorrow's breakfast is already ready."
He then looked at the dishes and leftovers and said, "Let's leave it for tomorrow."
He dimmed the lights and went upstairs to his room, then rubbed his hands and asserted, "Time to fix Lily."
He grabbed his laptop and connected it with LIly's program.
"Hmm?" He furrowed his brows and muttered, "Why are there more files missing now?"
When Ziro was creating Lily, he had no idea what he was doing, and it was his first time doing something like that. So he never made any backup or noted any steps in case something went wrong.
"I am doomed."
He ran the system check-up and began looking into the corrupted data.
"What if I fail?" he wondered.
"And even if I fix LIly, there is no guarantee that she will be the same LIly I knew."
SIGH~
He sighed deeply and uttered, "Look at me. Getting all emotional over a program."
BEEP!
[System Scan Completed.]
He opened the log and saw no files had recovered.
"Dammit!"
He punched the screen of the laptop, and his fist pierced through the screen. He threw the laptop to the wall and walked to his closet to take another laptop.
As he entered the closet, he noticed a bunch of swords lying on the floor that had dropped when he was looking through the closet.
SIGH~
"Annoying things happen when you are annoyed."
He picked up all the swords and placed them into a drawer. He then opened another drawer and grabbed one laptop from the dozens of laptops.
"What is this tight feeling in my chest? I can't get rid of it."
Ziro placed his hand on the mirror in the middle of the closet, and it scanned his handprint. Soon, the mirror turned into a door. He slid the door to the side and looked at the guns. There were all types of guns, and some weren't even available in the market.
"I forgot to show this to Alina," he sighed.
He was about to close the door but stopped when he noticed one of the guns was missing.
"Hmm?" He counted the guns and nodded, saying, "One is missing."
'Did mom or dad take it? I mean, they are on a trip now, so they must have taken it as a safety measure.'
Ziro closed the door and rushed to his bed.
He turned on the laptop and logged into his own (COS) Cloud Operating System that he made with Lily's help. Since the COS was on his cloud server, he could use his device from anywhere and share the data among all his other devices. And if he ever lost one of his devices, he could just sign it out from the cloud, and all the data would be gone.
He once again tried to recover the missing file and repaired some of the corrupted data. He was already feeling sleepy, but he had decided not to sleep until he made some progress.
'I have to wash the dishes, clothes, and make food too.'
There were some pizzas left, but he was tired of pizzas now, and he didn't plan to eat them for a month.
He glanced at the VR helmet and said, "I need to play this game too."
He took a short break and decided to drink some water, but he had emptied the jug.
"Great."
He headed downstairs and grabbed some bottles so he would never run out of water again for the night. After drinking the water, he looked at the bottle and realized that he would need to fill them up tomorrow.
"How does mom take care of everything?" he wondered.
'She makes food, takes care of the laundry, manages the house and the robots that manage the house. She takes care of dad's office work. She takes care of my servers. She handles hundreds of NGOs throughout this country. She is the queen too and manages all the royal family-related stuff.'
SIGH~
He sighed and muttered, "Never thought I would say this, but… I miss them already."
"It hasn't even been a day, and they are going to be away for a month. How will I survive that?"
His gaze fell on his phone as he wondered, "Should I call them? They should have reached their location by now."
He then realized that he never asked them where they were going.
"Dammit."
'I guess I will just wait for them to contact me first.'
He jumped on the bed and started working on LIly's program again.
After a few hours, he was only able to recreate three files, but he fixed the corrupt data.
"I don't even know how many files were there in the first place. But as long as I can get Lily working, she will repair her data herself. So I will try to recreate as many files as I can."
He leaned on the bed slat and closed his eyes to relax himself. He recalled Alina's face when she was blowing him.
"Just in one day; in a single day, our relationship became intimate," he smirked.
Ziro and Alina had done things that normal friends, close friends, best friends, or even childhood friends would never do. But since both of them loved each other, they sometimes touched each other and played with each other's bodies, but today their relationship changed into an intimate relationship.
"I wonder what more—"
Ziro stopped when he felt something wet on his lips. He touched his lips and noticed he was bleeding. He immediately got up from the bed and turned to the mirror to look at his face.
He was bleeding from all over the face; the blood was coming out of his nose, ears, eyes, and mouth.
"These are not the effect of getting too horny, are they?"
Even though he was bleeding, he wasn't feeling any pain.
"I should go wash my face, but first, I should call a doctor."
He walked to his phone, or so he wanted to, but he fell to the ground after taking one step and lost his consciousness.
