IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ON THIS LINK!
Anne-chan asked George-san, crying.
“…… I’m sorry, Anne.”
“I can’t accept an apology from you! I want an explanation!”
Anne-chan shouted angrily at George-san apology.
“It’s all my fault…… She was poisoned that day and survived. As a result, her immune system was extremely low. It was a fatal condition for Selene, who was not a strong person, to begin with. She was suffering from many illnesses that most people would not have, and her body was being poisoned by germs that most people would not even consider harmful.”
The symptoms George-san described were far beyond anything I could have imagined.
And certainly, in such a situation, treatment would have been ineffective.
There is magic to heal injuries and diseases, but there is no magic to heal an abnormal body.
No, to be precise, there is…… but only a very limited number of people who can use the higher-level healing magic are surrounded by the cult, so the number of people who can benefit from its healing is limited.
As a mere chairman of the board of trade, George-san must have been out of his depth.
It is said that sometimes even the royalty of a small country can’t get their hands on it, so I guess it was inevitable.
“The only thing I could do was to get the best healing magician I could and buy the best medicine I could afford. Even then…… I could only extend Selene’s life.”
George-san said in a self-deprecating tone.
But…… the chairman of the board of trade has provided himself with as many medicines and healing magic users as possible.
No ordinary person could have prepared more than that.
And to continue to prepare that much, George-san had to earn a huge amount of money as a business chairman.
Rather, he must have grown his business association in search of higher-level medicines and healing magic.
Well, if you think about it that way, it’s no wonder that he built up such a large business association in just one generation.
And because it is an organization that has been forcibly built up, there are probably some disturbing movements within the organization――among the executives.
“In addition…… the reason why I was unable to see Selene die was that I was interrupted by the executives who heard about her condition. I was told that there was a possibility that I might be exposed to a serious illness, and since I was treating Selene as a mere mistress, I couldn’t take any chances. And so, while I was dawdling about with my half-measures…… Selene passed away.”
There were tears…… in George-san eyes as he spoke.
His face also twisted with bitterness as he recalled his regret.
“I still think it was a foolish thing to do. I’m sure you’ll be able to understand why. But then I remembered that …… Serene had told me that my business association was like another child and that I should take good care of it.”
“That’s an excuse! You can’t say that she died happy just because you’ve given her a bunch of excuses!”
“…… That’s not true, Annette!”
This time, George-san raised his voice.
Not only did Anne-chan shock, but we also surprise.
“I’ll be honest with you. I can’t believe you’re my child. I’ve only seen you when you were firstborn. I’ve only seen you when you were just born, and I’ve known very little about you except what Selene has told me. But…… you were Selene’s beloved daughter. I’m sure you were there for her in the end! It’s not a good idea to make strange assumptions!”
“Shut up! I loved you too! But I still remember the last thing she said to me in a really sad way!”
“But I loved Selene as much as I could. Selene loved me, too. I don’t think she was ever unhappy with those days.”
“Well, that’s……”
Anne-chan stammered.
She has probably heard her mother, Selene, tell her how happy she is in words.
That’s probably why she’s convinced by George-san counterargument.
I think I understand a little too.
If I were to suddenly die tomorrow…… and not be able to see Rig at that time, I would feel very lonely.
But there would be no doubt in my mind that I was happy.
Maybe that’s how Selene-san was feeling too.
