God of Tricksters

Chapter 986 Hope

"!!!" Felix was stunned, thinking, 'Isn't that a fighting avatar? Not something to treat the sick?'

Without waiting for Felix, Theo immediately used his Sense of Touch to form a sphere around his body. After that, he gradually expanded this barrier toward the woman.

As soon as the barrier touched her elbow, the part closest to Theo, she opened her mouth, wanting to scream as if she was in pain. However, there was no sound coming from her mouth as she was too weak to even let out that kind of high sound.

In that instant, Theo retracted his barrier and said, "Are you sure you want to kill me? Didn't you say your daughter's body has grown numb that she won't feel pain anymore? Doesn't her reacting to my power mean there's hope?"

"!!!" Felix had already pulled his sword and was about to slice him. However, listening to Theo's words made him realize what he did was an absolute mistake.

It was clear that there was hope for treatment. If Theo actually backed down because of this action, his daughter might not be able to recover anymore.

Theo looked like a ray of hope that shone in his darkest hours.

Felix couldn't help but fall to his knees while dropping his swords. He even slammed his head to the ground while his tears flowed out. "Please… Please treat my daughter."

"…" Theo never thought Felix would do something like this, but it also showed how much his daughter meant to him. After pausing for a moment, Theo said, "I've told you I come here to heal your daughter… Besides, look at this…"

Felix raised his head and looked at Theo's hand, showing the tip of the black line coming out of her skin. It was true that her skin was bleeding, but it was clear Theo managed to peel the black line. No one had ever managed to do something like this.

Theo said, "For now, this is an effective treatment simply because these black lines are on her skin. I don't know if I can treat the curse that is planted on her stomach. Hence, we will need a few things before I continue the treatment.

"Firstly, I need an agreement from you and your daughter for this painful treatment. Secondly, we might need many blood bags to keep refilling her blood. Thirdly, we need some supplements and food to make her body a bit stronger… I mean, the more black lines I remove, the stronger her body will become… We need her body to recover naturally. Last but not least, I need a healer that can close these wounds… and this healer can't say anything about my power. Do you think you can get all these?"

Felix considered Theo's words carefully. His request made sense from his point of view. However, there was a problem.

"I don't think I can find a healer that won't say anything about your power and identity…" Felix gritted his teeth. "Please give me time, I will bring someone like that…"

Before Theo replied to him, the woman opened her mouth, saying one word. "Me… di… cine…"

"!!!" Felix widened his eyes and turned to his daughter. She was staring at her wound and said, 'Medicine.'

As her father, he perfectly understood what she wanted. Instead of a healer that would trouble her benefactor, she chose to rely on medicine to close her wound. A superficial wound like this shouldn't be a problem for the current medicine level, but it surely would make the treatment process even more painful.

At the same time, just by saying this one word, she had given Theo her consent to the first term.

"I understand…" Felix made a hard decision. But since his daughter wanted this way, he had no choice other than to support her decision. "Please give me two hours… I'll purchase everything."

"You are the one going?"

"Yes. I am faster." Felix nodded.

"Well…" Theo obviously couldn't reject him because it would be better if he could finish the treatment as soon as possible. Still, there was one thing he needed to say. "Before you go, I want you to know that I don't know whether this curse has a physical body or not. After all, it's producing these black lines."

"Even if it's only the black lines, it's alright. My daughter was fine for a month after receiving this curse. And when someone cut her stomach, there was nothing to be seen. Even the black lines will evaporate soon, so nothing can be examined in the lab." Felix shook his head, giving more information.

"I see. Is there any record of the previous treatment? I think I can read them while you're going?"

"I will get them for you." Felix immediately disappeared and returned three minutes later. Although he wasn't panting, it was clear that he was rushing to get all these papers. "These are the documents of the previous treatment. However, some of them didn't write anything, so I wrote those myself."

"That's fine." Theo nodded and grabbed one of them while glancing at the black line he cut earlier. As Felix said, it had begun to evaporate. Although the speed wasn't visible to naked eyes, he could see the missing 0.1 inch tip.

"Please wait for a moment. I'll tell my disciples not to bother you as well." Felix became extremely polite to Theo before going to purchase everything he requested.

Looking at him, Theo couldn't help but shake his head. If the Griffith Family didn't mess with his family, would his parents do the same?

Theo let out a long sigh and said, "You have a great father."

When the woman heard it, she couldn't help but recall the memories of the past two years.

The first few months were hard because her father tried to call everyone that could treat her. She experienced so much pain at that time, but her father always stroked her hair every night while telling her, "It's going to be fine. Even if I need to beg all around the world, I'm going to cure you."

After many failed attempts, her father's appearance became messy and his face filled with stress. Yet, his smile always appeared when he told her everything was going to be alright.

One year passed, and the black lines began to cover her body, resulting in her body convulsing randomly. It was painful to the point her father didn't dare to leave her side anymore.

She always saw her father sleeping next to her. In fact, her father had been sleeping in a sitting position for more than a year.

Her heart was always quenched with pain every time she saw him like that. He took a few disciples in to take care of her and himself. If not because of his disciples cooking for him, he would have skipped many meals.

She always felt she had become her father's burden. As long as she disappeared, her father would only mourn her for some time before moving on.

Yet, all the memories in the past two years kept flooding her mind. His trembling body, his wishes, his helplessness… It made her want to live just to repay her father.

That was why Theo's words truly struck deep in her heart. She couldn't help but close her eyes as tears fell off the corner of her eyes.
