Essie was really helpless. "I am not lying. If I had a solution, I would have told her when she came to me."
Lothar shook his head with all his might. "That can't be true! I know you have one. You found a way to restore my appearance when I ended up that way. There must be a way for you to save Selina. Essie, please. I beg you. Save her. She can't die this young!"
Right then, she was upset seeing the expression on his face.
She squatted down in front of him and said, "Lothar, who is she to you? Why do you care so much about her? Had you been in a relationship with her?"
"No." He denied immediately.
Then only did she feel relieved.
"Are you siblings?" she asked again.
"No," he said with his eyes on her. "You don't have to know about our relationship. Just help her. I beg you, please."
Biting her lip, she said, "Lothar, I can't help. Why don't you look for my master? She might have an idea how to help Selina."
"Let's go there now!" He jumped up immediately.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "My master has been in seclusion for many years. I don't know if she is still alive. It might end up for nothing."
"It doesn't matter. We have to go." Then, he grabbed her hand and said, "Let's set off now."
She was speechless.
She looked at her hand which was in his. It was burning from his touch.
Immediately, he let go of his hand when he noticed something amiss. "Well, let's go."
She blushed. "It's too late now. Let's take the first train tomorrow morning."
However, he was impatient.
He immediately said, "We are in a hurry. Let's take a plane and go there now."
Once again, she had nothing to say.
"Isn't this too rushed? We might not even find my master either," she said.
He answered, "As long as there is a possibility, we have to go."
Essie glanced at Lothar and agreed in the end. "Alright then. Let's go."
The next day soon arrived.
When Selina woke up, she saw Matthew.
Just like in the past, the first thing she saw when she woke up was his handsome face.
Seeing her, he kissed her on her forehead.
She remembered a song. One of the lines in the lyrics was about being kissed by one's lover when one woke up. It said that it was the most wonderful thing in the world.
Just like now.
However, she was feeling somewhat sad at such a wonderful moment.
Because such a beautiful scene would probably only last for one day.
"You promised me that you would leave today." She looked at him as she said.
"Yes, I did." His tone was light. "Are you getting up soon? I made breakfast for you."
She sat up.
Suddenly, she covered her face with her hand and asked, "Do I look older than yesterday?"
He peeled her hands away carefully. "Impossible. My baby girl never ages a day. You look beautiful and young."
After washing up, she ate the breakfast he made for her.
Then, he told her that he wanted to bring her to a check-up.
Of course, she realized what check-up he meant.
She said to him somewhat desperately, "Matthew, it's useless. Don't waste your time and energy. Tobias has done all he could and I had had my body checked hundreds of times. Nothing could save me. It's hopeless."
Matthew persuaded her, "Just once more, Selina. For my sake, please."
His gentle tone was filled with love and it made her unable to refuse him.
She agreed.
Soon, the results were out.
