Chapter 87

As she said it, Ian felt as if his body was being ripped down to shreds by a sword. “Because the days I spent here were extremely happy,” she continued. That made him feel multiple things.

If his partner wasn’t Laritte, he wouldn’t have been able to hear such honest words. She was someone who did not feel shy whenever she spoke.

“Do you remember what I was like before? I said I did not want to be sick. It’s the same, I did not want to die.” Like everyone else, death was a fear of the unknown to her. It did fill any person with fear once in a while. She wasn’t afraid anymore, and all she had to do was let Ian go. She did not feel empty anymore.

“I’m not afraid to die anymore. You always make me change,” she held out her hand toward Ian, still holding his other hand. “So take responsibility for me until the end.”

Ian hesitated. It was his greed to hold her hand. Still, it was a very tempting offer. Laritte continued to ask for his hand, “isn’t it better than that? I like you and you like me, so I’m lucky.”

Ian struggled between his greed and conscience. If he held her hand, he must remain here. And his choice would drive Laritte to death. After much conflict, he joined hands with her. Ah, why couldn’t man be a creature that could only think rationally? It was deplorable.

Laritte was satisfied when he accepted her offer. But he had other thoughts. ‘I’ll have to find a permanent way for Laritte to live. Otherwise, I will eventually have to leave again.’ But for now, he was happy to be with her.

‘I should urgently airlift all the items made of dragon’s remains from all over the country.’

‘After all, communication was the best solution. I must thank you, girls.’

It was only then that Ian informed everyone of his return to the mansion. The mansion was still under the grasp of the plague. Ian began helping the nursing staff. Laritte was fully healed the next day, so she and Ian together started taking care of the employees in the annex.
