Lothar was in a trance, but his mind was active.
Had the surgery been completed?
Did Selina come by his side and shed tears for him?
But why was he still alive? Why was his consciousness still here?
Suddenly, a female voice sounded beside him. It was suppressed as if the owner of the voice was bearing a lot of pain. "I've never told you that I like you, Lothar. I liked you from the first moment I saw you on TV."
It was Essie's voice.
Lothar wanted to open his eyes, but a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.
His consciousness was gone.
It was 2 a.m. when Selina got up from bed.
She was feeling rather blurry at the end of the surgery, and she fell asleep. Just then, she had just woken up from passing out.
She instantly jumped out of bed.
Lothar, who was on the bed beside her, was already covered with a piece of white cloth.
Trembling, she reached out to lift the cloth.
Just then, Essie stopped her. "Please respect the dead and don't look."
She didn't want Selina to see him. The moment he was losing all his consciousness, it was her who was before him.
She wanted to be the last person he saw.
Selina didn't say anything.
But she burst into tears.
Essie's voice was clear and cold as she said, "There is a saying in the Witch Clan. Even if a person dies, and their physical body loses its consciousness, it will not immediately disappear. In other words, that's their soul. Lothar's soul must not want to see you cry. Dry your tears. He's gone already. It's too late to cry. Do you think you can revive him with your crying?"
Hearing her words, Selina stopped crying.
She rubbed her eyes and managed to stand up. "You're right. It's useless to cry. I won't be able to revive him."
After a pause, she added, "I'll take Lothar's body away."
She wanted to find the best cemetery for Lothar and bury him well.
"You can't," Essie said.
Astonished, Selina asked, "Why not?"
The coldness on Essie's face disappeared and was replaced by sadness. She said, "I have been by his side since I saved him. And he had been by mine too. All these years, I've been living in solitude. He made me feel otherwise. Even if he's dead, I want him with me. I've done so much for you guys, so please agree with my request."
Selina held her breath for a moment.
She suddenly thought of something from before.
If things did not turn out this way, Lothar and Essie might stand a chance.
No, Selina was certain there were feelings between the two. They had a chance!
She looked at Essie.
She saw the pained expression on Essie's face and her hidden feelings for Lothar.
At this moment, Selina decided and replied, "Okay."
Essie heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you."
Selina shook his head. "No, I believe you will give him a proper burial. I know you treat him well. It's an honor for him to have you as his friend."
"You're wrong," Essie said, looking at Selena. "You're lucky to have Lothar as your friend."
Hearing her words, Selina felt a lump in her throat.
She nodded. "It's true."
