Meanwhile, not a single person from Medicine God Sect had recovered from the sorrow of Jared's death.
A depressing atmosphere loomed over the place.
"Lizbeth, I can feel it. Jared isn't dead!" Renee declared as she stood next to Lizbeth on top of the hill.
Lizbeth had been visiting the location daily. She would stand there and stare in the eastern direction of Dragon Island.
She would imagine seeing Jared appear, only to be bitterly disappointed each time.
A month soon went by, and Lizbeth still could not accept the reality of Jared's passing.
Lizbeth's eyes were listless, and it was as if her entire being had gone numb. She showed no signs of hearing Renee's words.
"Renee!"
Just then, Colin approached them with a bouquet of flowers he had freshly picked from the mountains.
He had fallen for Renee after interacting with her for some time. Moreover, the two of them were close in age.
Renee's expression darkened when she saw Colin come toward her with flowers.
Lizbeth was currently heartbroken over Jared's demise, and Renee did not think the former would appreciate seeing Colin court her before her very eyes.
"What are you doing here? Can't you see I'm currently talking to Lizbeth?" Renee glared at Colin.
Awkwardly, Colin muttered, "Lizbeth, I'm sure Jared is fine. The b*stards from the Warriors Alliance can't kill him, so they must've released false information. I'm sure Jared will be back soon, so don't be too sad."
"I also think that Jared is fine. He'll feel sad when he comes back and finds out you've been depressed." Renee, too, joined in to console Lizbeth.
"The two of you should leave. I'd like some time alone." Lizbeth forced herself to smile.
