Lothar felt his heart ache when he heard Essie mentioning Yesseca.
His sister was the only person whom he couldn't part if he did decide to leave this world.
From the time Essie told him about the method to save Selina, he hesitated.
If he used his life in exchange for Selina's, what would happen to Yesseca?
Life was a long journey. How could he bear to let her walk it alone?
However, his hesitation was gone when he met Reid.
Reid was the one who caused Selina to end up this way. Lothar had inadvertently help Reid in his plan when he promised Reid to watch over Selina back then!
Lothar knew he owed much to Selina. And time had come for him to repay her.
"Essie, please help me. I've decided," said Lothar.
However, Essie shook her head, saying, "Lothar, you're mad. You've really gone mad! Do you really believe in that man's nonsense when he told you he used you to implant the poison into Selina? I'm telling you, that's ridiculous. He's just lying to you. You shouldn't take the bait. Don't be silly to believe him."
"Essie, I don't care if he's making it up. I've decided. My life for hers." Right then, he sounded like there was no room for negotiations.
A layer of mist gathered in Essie's eyes.
She looked at Lothar, her teeth chattering.
How could he make such a crazy decision? How could he disregard his own life for a woman?
Didn't he know that other women in the world cared about him?
She had spent so much effort to save Lothar and help him recover his appearance. Couldn't he understand?
After all, it was not easy for her to obtain the cure to recover his appearance. The cure required human blood to make, and she used the blood of her own. In the end, he said that he was willing to give up his life so easily just for another woman's life!
He did not think about her at all!
"Lothar, you madman!" she yelled.
After saying those words, she left running.
But he did not go after her.
He knew that it was useless to say anything when she was so emotional. He had been with her for some time, and he had some understanding of her. And, of course, he knew she would come back for him for sure.
She wouldn't just run away like that.
With that, he headed in another direction.
That was the direction of the Cowell family.
He didn't have much time left in this world. At the last moment, he wanted to see Yesseca.
Originally, he had planned to see her just once. But when he arrived at the house, he got greedier. He wanted to hear her voice.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided on something.
He knew how crazy and risky his decision was.
But he couldn't control himself at all.
Therefore, he went to buy a box of crackers that Yesseca loved when she was a child.
Then, he left it at her door and rang the doorbell.
He trembled with every ring the doorbell made.
Moments later, the door opened.
Yesseca's face appeared in front of him.
Right then, he felt like his breathing was about to stop.
"Hello, is there something that you need?"
Confused, Yesseca asked.
Lowering his head, he said to her, "I saw this box of crackers at your front door, and I was wondering if you have forgotten to bring it in. So that was why I came over to ask you about it."
When he answered her, he did not forget to adjust his voice.
Hearing his words, Yesseca looked down and saw the crackers that he mentioned.
Then, she shook her head. "These aren't mine. Maybe it belongs to someone else."
She thought her word would make this man in front of her leave, but he did not look like he was going to anytime soon.
Therefore, she asked again, "Hmm, do you need something else?"
He knew he should be leaving, but he couldn't make himself take even a single step.
