Lord Of Succubi:Transmigrated As A Dual Cultivator In Isekai Of Magic Chapter 110 110 Reunion
From the corner of her eye, she made out the faint outline of the human form that suddenly appeared at the door. Thinking it was her manager, and barely looking up at all, she rasped;
"Not now Nicklaus, cancel any and all etings for the rest of this morning-" she hesitated and added; "–you know what, make it for the rest of the day!"
But it wasn't the manager.
"Tch, tch, tch. . ." it was the sound of a tongue clicking against the roof of a mouth; "My dear Selina. always, always working. . ."
The voice cut through the air, traveled through the airways, and arrived at Selina's ears. It short circuited her brain, triggering a rush of mories and emotions.
Involuntarily, Selina's head jerked upwards, and shot her gaze at the door- in the direction of the voice. Her face, which had been a mask of concentration, slowly began to lt. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped in shock;
"Madeline?!" she squealed in unbelief; "Madeline Russell?! Am I dreaming. . .is that really you?!"
The Lady Russell was leaning against the pillar of the door fra, arms crossed in front of her chest, and with a soft smile on her face. Her long golden mane was oiled up and styled in a side parting.
"Indeed Selina, indeed. It's I in the flesh."
Still reeling with shock, and eyes bulging in suprise, Selina slowly rose up from her chair. Her white gown shimred in reflection of the sun's intrusive rays.
"B-b-but how-w-w? Are you-" she paused first; "–are you like well now?"
"I guess you could say that." she replied evasively; "Are you gonna stand there gawking at forever, or are you going to co and give your best friend a hug?"
"Of course! Of course!"
With tears in their eyes, and slight sobs in her throat, and arms out stretched, both won closed the distance between them. In the bright white conference room, silver t gold as they both embraced each other.
Clasping each other in a tight hug, they swayed on their feet as their striking hairs bounced off of each others shoulders. Several monts passed before they finally let go of each other.
"Goodness Madeline, you're glowing! Just look at you, you look ten years younger."
"Well, a decade of compulsory bed rest will certainly do that to you. . ."
Selina gaze at her friend- unbelief and wonder lingered at the edge of her eyes.
". . .how's has business been?" Madeline asked.
Selina's small eyes went even rounder in their sockets;
"Seriously??? Are you being for real right now? You're asking about work?"
"Co on, Cee Cee, just look around," she twirled around, and spread out her hand; ". . .this whole things is remarkable- truly. You've built sothing spectacular here."
"Not as spectacular as your miraculous healing! Why you trying to gaslight into thinking this isn't a BIG DEAL?!"
She held her best friend's hands in hers;
". . .modern dicine practically ruled out your illness as a terminal one. . .so what happened??? How are you so healthy right now?"
Madeline chuckled- obviously enjoying being fussed over;
"Well, I guess you could say fate finally decided to smile on . . ." she said as she lowered herself onto the closest chair to her;
". . .my daughter Nora brought ho a very young doctor from a foreign land.. His na is Nexus."
Selina inched to the side, and pulled out the chair closet to Madeline. Holding her gaze,? hanging on to her every word, she sat down adjacent to her- genuinely interested in her testimony.
"Nexus you say?" she echoed as she adjusted herself in her seat; "I work with a lot of doctors, I don't think I've that particular na before."
"Yeah he's new in town. But trust he's the real deal."
"Obviously," she teased the blond as her eyes roved all over her; "I an look at you. You're practically shinning! The last ti you had this glow on you was when Lord Russell used to dick you down. . ."
Madeline gasped;
"Oh my gosh- that tongue of yours hasn't lost its edge at all!"
Selina's shoulders as she giggled mischievously;
"So, this doctor huh? He must be really good to have perfected your treatnt. I have SOOO MANY questions. Like how long has the treatnt been going on?"
"Oh, about a few days now."
The surprise on Selina's face caused her to lose her grip on her buccal cavity. Her jaw ca dropping down, and her eyes went round in surprise;
"A FEW DAYS?! Are you sure you weren't sedated all through the process? You do realize ti flies by faster right? Especially if opiods were invol–"
"Trust Selina," she said with a glint of mischief in her eyes; ". . I was fully conscious and in full control of my faculties the whole ti. I practically woke up overnight to see that I was getting stronger. . ."
Her tone took a more somber tone;
". . .you have no idea what it was like. . .all those years, the hardest part was not giving up."
She asked enthusiastically;
"You know the first thing I did when I got on my feet the following morning? I walked down to the orange orchard by myself and stood there- under the sun, for a full hour! It was crazy. I didn't realize how much I'd missed actual sunlight."
Selina looked at her- empathy swelling her eyes, and rising in her chest;
"Maddie, I gotta tell ya . . .part of why I got into this business in the first place was because of you. It started out with searching for any kind of drug that would potentially heal you. I searched and searched Maddie, I really did. . ."
Her voice cracked with emotion;
"But as the years flew by, I got disenchanted by the fruitless search, and began to let myself get consud in the business. . ."
She slurred her words;
"So, this doctor you speak of. . whoever he is. . .he's gotta be a miracle worker. . .because there is no dicine or treatnt out there that could have turned your situation around."
"Trust , I've had my own share of doctors and treatnts to last a lifeti- so I know what you an. But honestly, Nexus is in his own league entirely. I an, you need to test him out for yourself to know what I an."
Selina looked at her friend, and saw the contagious assurance in her eyes;
"Well, I for one am glad you're all healed - honestly. But I also might be needing your doctor's services soon. . ."
Madeline squinted her eyes- narrowing them till they were almost as thin as blades;
"What's the problem Cee Cee? You feeling a little blue lately?"
She scofffed;
"Girl I wish that was the summary of my health problems. . ." she leaned backward into the chair;
". . .it's the ice Maddie. . .it's the fuckin' ice magic. . .rember when were teenagers, and what my mom told about the side effects? Well, guess what? It's starting to manifest, and I'm barely at that age."
Madeline commiserated with her;
"That's bad. If I rember correctly, your mom said powerful ice mages start to develop severe migraines right? Along with internal body heat, and intense sharp nstrual cramps in your abdon right?"
