Hearing that, Claire also looked worriedly at Lathel. No matter which option Lathel chose, he could save Malina.
The question now is: would Lathel choose any of the two options above?
"Ah! I forgot… Lathel, you can choose one more option, which is to ignore her." Lilith suddenly continued.
"Anyway, you and her have nothing to do with each other. Even if you save her, she may not be grateful to you."
"She even thinks of you as a fool. Lathel… You are very kind, that is the most beautiful thing about you, but sometimes being too kind is also a kind of weakness."
"If you don't change, your kindness will turn into stupidity, which will be a weakness that can easily be exploited by people."
"I firmly believe that…" Lilith suddenly glanced towards Malina and continued: "Malina knows this fact, and that is also the reason why Claire brought her here."
"No!" Claire quickly said: "I brought Master here because... no one else can save her."
"Lathel… you are the last person … I… I beg you…"
Claire quickly crawled out of bed and knelt on the ground: "Please... save Malina, I will do whatever you want."
Lilith smiled disdainfully: "Don't worry, Malina is unconscious, no matter what we say, she won't hear."
"No matter which option you choose, I think… she has no right to hate you."
"Enough!" Lathel sighed and said: "Teacher, no matter what you say, I still choose to save her."
"Why?" Lilith frowned and narrowed her eyes at Lathel.
Hearing this, Claire was so happy that she cried. But seeing Lilith upset, Claire still felt uneasy.
Anyway, the person who can save Malina is Lilith, not Lathel. Although Lathel decided to save her master, if Lilith did not agree, everything would be meaningless.
Lilith walked closer to Lathel, her face was less than 10 cm from his, and her warm and fragrant breath caressed his face.
Lathel was a little dazed, but he immediately regained consciousness, sighed, and said: "Teacher, there is a saying, I think... you should listen to it once."
"If this world is full of darkness, then we ourselves can choose to be the only light."
"If there are no good people in this world, then we can become the only good people."
"You can say I'm stupid or anything like that. But… I still want to save her. Even if it were Alec here, I would save him."
Lathel's words were extremely determined. His eyes were clear and full of light as he looked straight into Lilith's eyes.
Lathel said this because he remembered the director of the orphanage, who took him in, saved him, and gave him a warm home.
If there were no rays of warm light in this world amidst the cold and terrible storm called 'life', he would probably have died a long time ago.
And of course, he also has no chance to go to another world like this.
Lathel also knows that the things he does out of kindness are stupid, can easily be taken advantage of, cause him a lot of trouble, and sometimes put him in danger.
But he remained steadfast in that ideal. Lathel knows he cannot help the whole world achieve peace.
However, at least, he could be one of the rays of light in this dark world. This was not to satisfy his arrogance, rather, it was just to help him sleep well at night, which is enough.
Lilith, Akna, and even Claire were extremely surprised when they heard that. They never thought that Lathel would say that, and Claire even felt extremely moved.
"Good!" Lilith smiled, satisfaction appearing in her smile: "So... which option did you choose?"
"Of course, use the 'Original Spirit Water'." Lathel immediately spoke without thinking.
"Why?" Lilith tilted her head and looked at him in confusion: "Lathel, do you still not understand the preciousness of 'Original Spirit Water'?"
"No!" Lathel shook his head: "I understand very well, but... if we save her without restoring her face, then if she wakes up, she won't want to live anymore."
"Teacher, you are also a woman, you know the most important thing for a woman is her appearance. Sometimes, letting someone live incompletely is more painful than killing them."
"That's why only 'Original Spirit Water' can save her and help her quickly return to normal."
Hearing that, Lilith just sighed: "Good! I hope you won't regret it."
"Hahaha… I hope I won't regret it either." Lathel smiled as he spoke.
Claire gritted her teeth and cried. She put her head on the floor while crying and said: "Thank you! Thank you, Lathel… thank you for saving Malina, from now on, no matter what you want to do, I will never refuse."
"Wait!" Lathel suddenly spoke: "I also have conditions."
Claire raised her head to look at him: "No matter what the conditions are, I will fulfill them."
Her gaze was extremely determined, as if even if Lathel asked her to die, she would immediately kill herself without hesitation.
Lathel glanced at Malina, then looked at Lilith and asked: "Teacher, is she really unconscious?"
"That's right." Lilith shrugged and said: "Right now, no matter what we say, she won't hear it. Anyway, she was seriously injured and fell into a deep coma."
Lathel breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Claire and said: "I have two conditions; don't worry, for you, these two conditions are very simple."
Lilith, Akna and Claire all listened silently.
Lathel continued: "First condition, after successfully treating her, I hope you and Malina, or any members of your family, will not continue to bother me."
"What I mean is… I hope you and Malina don't continue to target me, bother me, or have any plans against me."
"After today, we are strangers, we have never met. You don't need to tell anyone what happened today, understand?"
Claire was stunned when she heard that, and this made her confused. This condition… is really very simple. However, why did he offer such a strange condition?
"Second condition." Lathel continued: "That… you… have to tell Malina that the one who saved her was Alec, not me."
"As for Alec, I will tell him, and you will rekindle your relationship."
"If you agree to these two conditions, I will agree to treat Malina."
Akna, Lilith, and Claire all looked at Lathel with confusion.
They really didn't understand what Lathel was thinking—why did he give such strange conditions?
You must know that he is saving Malina. If he lets her know this, she will definitely be very grateful to him, she might even... love him.
But... Lathel didn't want to let that happen, he even gave all the credit to Alec.
Nobody understood what was going on, was Lathel still asleep?
"Lathel…" Lilith immediately spoke, holding his hand: "Are… are you okay?"
Lathel sighed, he felt that everyone didn't seem to understand what he meant.
"It's okay, I'm fine, and very alert. I am doing this for my own reasons."
Claire now asked softly: "Lathel... you... Do you look down on Malina because she is the daughter of a prostitute?"
"Don't worry, Malina is still clean, she doesn't even have a boyfriend yet."
Lathel: "…"
"You misunderstood what I meant." He shook his head and said: "I absolutely don't care who she is, whether she is the daughter of a prostitute or the daughter of a noble."
"I don't care about those nonsense matters at all. If I cared about such meaningless matters, I wouldn't have saved her."
"Claire, you also know that the first and second time we met, she set a trap for me, right?"
Hearing that, Claire nodded slightly, her face showing concern.
"Don't worry, I'm not petty enough to take revenge on Malina. It's just..." Lathel said tiredly: "I feel like with her personality, if she stays by my side, there will be a lot of trouble surrounding me."
"That's why, for the good of both sides, I think those two conditions are the best."
"She will return to her original life, and stay with Alec."
"I have my own peaceful life. If no one causes trouble for each other, this world will be peaceful, right?"
Everyone who heard that nodded, they felt that Lathel's words were very reasonable. Lathel didn't talk too much nonsense, as he immediately took out a porcelain vase.
It was the vase containing three drops of 'Original Spirit Water', given to Lilith.
"Here! If you have any left over, keep it." Lathel told Lilith: "As for the medicine to improve my physical condition, we can find another way."
"If there are no other problems, I will go to sleep." Lathel finished speaking and turned to leave without hesitation.
Walking to the door, he suddenly stopped and spoke to Akna: "After their treatment is complete, take them back to the Montague family. If you let them stay here, when Malina wakes up, she will know that I saved her."
"Ah!" Lathel suddenly glanced at Claire: "Lilith, you can also treat Claire."
He took out a small red box, which contained a 4-star pill that Lilith had previously taken from Alec.
Lathel knew that this box contained an extremely valuable healing medicine, so this was his opportunity to use this medicine.
He threw the medicine box at Claire, of course, she easily grabbed the medicine box.
Claire wanted to thank him, but Lathel had already left. She was a little disappointed, but she felt her heart beating continuously as if it were about to jump out of her chest.
"Ah! You guys are so lucky..." Lilith exclaimed: "You are so lucky to have met a good person like my student, Lathel. Otherwise, I'm afraid you would be in a ditch somewhere."
Hearing that, Claire pursed her lips and nodded slightly. In her heart, the image of Lathel appeared, and it could not be erased.
Claire said softly: "He... is really kind."
