Lilly's journey seemed like a fleeting dream, and when she woke up, it was the next morning. Despite her spirit energy being completely depleted, she didn't feel tired after a good night's sleep.
As usual, she was caught by Bettany and given a lecture.
Around noon, Anthony returned home while Lilly was packing with Bettany. When she saw Anthony, she exclaimed, "Uncle Anthony, why are you back?"
Anthony sat down and said, "Lilly, don't go back to Malie City. Transfer back to your previous school."
Lilly was puzzled. "What happened?"
Anthony replied, "Do you remember Mr. Lambert?"
Lilly hesitated for a moment. She did remember, but it hadn't crossed her mind until now.
Anthony lovingly ruffled her hair and said, "It's not your fault, Lilly. You've been busy."
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Lilly asked, "What happened to Master Lambert?"
Anthony nodded. "He has been studying abroad for the past few years, and I thought it was for career development or other reasons."
"Just today, I found out that he's returning to the country. He went abroad to seek treatment."
Lilly sat up straight and asked, "Is Master Lambert sick?"
Anthony sighed, "Yes, he couldn't be cured, so he came back."
Lilly asked, "What illness does he have?"
She started to feel worried, and more than that, she felt guilty. In a strict sense, Lawrence was also her teacher, her painting teacher during her time in the mortal world. Although she hadn't painted in a long time and only doodled in textbooks.
She suddenly felt sorry for Master Lambert...
Anthony explained, "He has a rare condition called Syringomyelia. He accidentally discovered it when he cut his hand while sharpening a pencil."
This disease is mostly congenital, and acquired cases are even rarer. It usually presents with reduced or loss of pain and temperature sensation in one or both upper limbs. In severe cases, the hand can be burned or cut without being aware, accompanied by numbness, stiffness, and atrophy.
