Jonas Nolan was staring in her direction.
His gaze looked like he was about to cry and Ruth really didn't have the heart to continue speaking.
Is she soft hearted?
Ruth didn't know.
But she knew very well that Jonas Nolan is a good boy who has been doing very well in the past few years.
Even compared to many other returnees, it seed that Jonas Nolan's performance was very good. He might not be able to help the Green Planet to fight at the forefront, but Jonas Nolan's support was definitely top notch.
The only pity was the fact that it would be difficult for Jonas Nolan to teach other people the skills that he had learned before.
Because being an alchemist required both talent and hard work.
Jonas Nolan didn't speak either.
He was looking at Ruth and wanted to do sothing, but Jonas Nolan knew very well that Ruth was speaking the truth.
Her life forces were disappearing at rapid speed.
At this speed, Jonas Nolan knew that Ruth wouldn't even be able to last for a week and even if she looked normal and healthy on the surface, she wouldn't be able to survive.
What to do?
The materials that Jonas Nolan could find on the Green Planet was only low level materials that couldn't help him in the slightest bit. Even if Jonas Nolan wanted to, he knew very well that the materials' limitation was one thing that he couldn't change.
Not to ntion…
Jonas Nolan had never made any potion above rank 7.
The highest level potion that Jonas Nolan ever made was only rank 7 and this was done after a careful consideration and hard work.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Jonas Nolan to make it in the first place.
Now that he found out that if he wanted to save Ruth, he needed a rank 10 potion… where is he going to find it?
Jonas Nolan heard Ruth speak and he looked at her earnestly, hoping that she could stop speaking about these things…
He didn't want to hear it.
Not in the slightest bit.
Jonas Nolan saw Ruth slowly stopping, but he knew that it was not because he managed to change her thoughts.
She wouldn't change her mind so easily.
"Is there really nothing that I can do to help?" Jonas Nolan asked carefully, looking at Ruth's expression earnestly.
He really hoped that there was sothing that he could do.
Sothing that could break through this problem and let her survive.
Ruth looked at Jonas Nolan calmly and replied, "No and I don't need you to do anything for , Jonas Nolan."
The two of them might get along quite well, but they were only friends at best and Ruth had no intention of going any further.
She knew her personality was dull and her straightforward temperant made it difficult for others to like her. Besides, Ruth was used to stay alone and there were not many people who could truly befriend her.
Those people in Afirer Kingdom were among the few people who genuinely treated her well.
Ah…
Just thinking about them made Ruth missed those people once again.
Ruth slowly shook her head and looked outside. "If you want to help, just make sure that those annoying people didn't disturb ."
With her current strength, Ruth knew very well that she would not be able to escape from them. Her ti was limited and Ruth didn't really want to spend her last few days arguing with so annoying people.
Isn't it better for her to spend it with more aningful things?
At the very least, this was what Ruth hoped from the bottom of her heart.
The only person she could ask for help right now is Jonas Nolan, so even if she knew that her decision was not sothing he agreed on…
Jonas Nolan pursed his lips and looked at Ruth.
He didn't know where this attachnt ca from.
Is it because there were not many returnees left on the Green Planet or it was because this was Ruth herself.
But seeing her gaze, Jonas Nolan knew very well that she had made her decision and nothing he said could possibly change it.
"I know," Jonas Nolan said slowly. "I'll make sure no one disturb you."
Jonas Nolan slowly stood up and looked at Ruth on the bed. Her face was pale and looked far weaker than how she used to be.
From now, the spirited and energetic Ruth would not exist anymore.
Does she regret it?
Perhaps not.
From the peaceful look on Ruth's face, Jonas Nolan knew that this was the ending that Ruth envisioned for herself and possibly also what she had decided from the very beginning until the end.
It's just…
Jonas Nolan pursed his lips and said, "Take care, Ruth."
Hearing Jonas Nolan's voice, Ruth turned her head and her beautiful eyes blinked slowly. She smiled in response. "Thank you."
After that, Jonas Nolan turn around and left through the door.
He didn't tell anyone that Ruth had woken up and instead locked the door from outside.
"Young master, this…"
"Let her rest and don't let anyone disturb her," Jonas Nolan said calmly. He knew that with Ruth's current physical strength, she wouldn't be able to deal with the people from Continent W.
They were all people who got stronger because of their contribution.
But now, they were also people whom Ruth wouldn't want to et.
He wanted to respect her wishes…
It's just, Jonas Nolan looked at the distance and felt that the future would be much more lonelier.
Without anyone else who were returnees, Jonas Nolan didn't know whom he could confide in.
He still has his family mbers.
But after knowing that he's a returnee, their attitudes towards him turned into that of extre respect and they didn't dare to do anything that he didn't like.
It's boring.
But it could be said that this was indeed how most people would react when they t with soone of high stature.
