142 Daily Recovery
Selma Payne’s POV:
In other words, only if Dorothy personally went over would the situation turn for the better.
“Alright,” I said, a little discouraged. “I know. How was Dorothy? Aldrich said it’s best if I don’t go see her, I want to know how she’s recovering.”
“Everything’s normal,” Master Hayley replied. “There’s no rejection.”
“It’s more like it’s so normal that it’s creepy,” Kevin said thoughtfully as he pushed his gold-rimd glasses up his nose. “Logically speaking, things shouldn’t have gone so smoothly, but it did happen. This ans there’s an invisible accident in a place we don’t know about. It’s more serious than a visible rejection.”
Hayley glared at him helplessly as if to signal him not to talk nonsense.
“Wait,” I asked. “Please be clear. What do you an by ‘an invisible accident is more serious than a visible rejection’? Is there a problem with Dorothy’s engraving?”
Hayley could only continue bitterly, “As we said before you passed out, so of the runes did not work. Logically speaking, the failure of a small section of the runes would cause all the runes to lose their vitality because they could not establish a hidden link.
“However, Miss Dorothy’s situation is extraordinary. A few small sections of runes have lost their effectiveness. Naturally, the hidden link cannot be established. However, her runic pattern engraving is working smoothly. There has never been such a precedent before, and...
“In addition, the soul is a fragile and pampered thing. There’s no way we can investigate it as we wish. Miss Dorothy’s imdiate family mber is in a bad ntal state and cannot fulfill her responsibility as guardian,” Kevin interrupted. “The only ones who can sign the consent form for the examination are the two majesties.”
“But I didn’t agree,” my father said in a deep voice.
“Why?” I asked anxiously.
“As master Kevin said, the soul is too fragile. It’s like a soft pudding, and any knock will cause irreversible damage to it.” My father looked at seriously. “This is a matter of life and death. No one has the right to decide for her. We have to wait for Dorothy to wake up and let her understand the cause of this matter and all the predictable consequences before making a decision.”
“But if this continues, won’t the situation worsen as ti passes? ” I asked.
Master Hayley consoled . “Not for now. The runes are currently operating in an unprecedented manner. It’s just like an algorithm still operating smoothly even though it has a bug. At this stage, the safest choice is to remain still. Otherwise, if we correct a single character incorrectly, the algorithm will completely collapse.”
I could only accept this explanation.
After having lunch with , my father had to leave to deal with official business. On the other hand, my mother chatted with to relieve my boredom. There was also Aldrich, who very gentlemanly took over the servant’s role.
My mother told him not to trouble himself, but he said, “Please don’t deprive of my right to please my beloved and her mother, ma’am.”
My mother was amused by him and laughed, and the sorrow in her eyes faded a lot.
Aldrich and I looked at each other and smiled.
The four days of recovery were boring. In the end, when my wound was almost fully healed, the pain was not as intense as it was at the beginning. However, this feeling of being bitten by ants still left at a loss, especially when a calming power strangely accompanied this pain. I could only say that the Moon Goddess’ blessing was not picked up for nothing.
The light golden tattoo had already taken shape. In the mirror, I looked like a primordial priest about to perform so ancient morial ceremony. I was using herbs and animal blood to make a special paint as a dium for to beco one with the goddess.
However, the priest’s paint could be washed off, but my tattoo would accompany for a lifeti.
I could only try to find joy in my suffering and think, ‘It’s just as Aldrich said; this is a dal given to warriors by the Moon Goddess, isn’t it?’ Moreover, the tattoo looked quite good on closer inspection, with a charm of an ancient pioneer art.
In these four days, I’d been eating so much that I was about to throw up.
To hasten the healing of my wounds, Master Hayley developed a few diet recipes for . This ant I was far away from the fragrant but oily and salty lamb chops and roast chicken. The main course of every al was a carefully cooked ‘stew’. If there weren’t all sorts of weird-slling herbs in it, I would say that this kind of healthy al tasted pretty good.
Aldrich had military work to do and couldn’t be by my side all the ti. Once, he secretly gave a piece of smoked ham that was specially provided by the army. Moon Goddess! I gobbled it up like a tiger that had not eaten for three days.
