Chapter 72: Elora Showing Her Healing Talent (2/2)
”Good,” Kadyn smiled as he sent Epora off to the Meditation Room.
As he sat on his chair, a huge smile appeared on his face, and he murmured. ”It isn't easy to con...ah, no, I mean it isn't easy to convince others.”
”Sir, sir, please save my child!” suddenly a panicked voice sounded. Kadyn looked towards the source of the shout and spotted a woman who looked around twenty-five or twenty-six, she had a pretty face, and slim body. Though her cheap clothes made her look ordinary. She held a child that looked around five or six years old, and her eyes were filled with tears.
”What do you want?” Kadyn asked after some hesitation.
”Please, save my child, Sir.” The woman said eagerly and showed the face of her child that was completely pale; his breathing was shallow, appearing as if he would take his last breath at any time. ”I don't know what happened to him, but he fainted suddenly.”
Kadyn thought for a moment and said. ”I've got a healing potion. However, it is a bit expensive. You need to pay 2000 dollars.”
”Two thousand?!'' The woman was left stunned when she heard the amount. She was just an ordinary housewife. Her husband was out to earn some money, even after working a whole day, he would only earn only thirty or fifty dollars. How would she pay such a huge amount?
”Sir, please help me...I-I would do anything…”
Kadyn didn't know how to appease the woman after all he wasn't a heartless man, he felt sympathy for her.
”What's happening here?” Elora walked out of the Potion Hall as she looked at the scene in front of her. Melvona was walking beside her. Her complexion had improved and Kadyn could see some rosiness on her small innocent face.
Elora glanced at Kadyn and asked. ”Will you tell me what's going on here?”
He explained the situation to Elora. He was feeling conflicted as he wanted to help this poor woman. However, if he did something like that, won't others come in the future to ask for free help? After all, he was doing business, not a charity.
Elora nodded after understanding the situation. She looked at the woman in front of her and said. ”Alright, I will heal your son. However, you need to pay with something.”
The woman looked at Elora and said hurriedly. ”I'll do anything. Please, save my child.”
”I don't want you to do anything.” She shook her head and asked. ”Can you cook?”
The woman was dazed for a moment, but she hurriedly nodded.
Elora smiled and said. ”Alright, you will be our cook from now on. After you pay us back with your work, you can leave or you can continue working. What do you say?
”What...” the lady didn't know what to say. She was completely speechless. This also work? Nonetheless, she still nodded and looked at her son's pale face, her heart pained.
Elora arrived near the woman and placed her hand on the kid's forehead. Simultaneously, a green light released from her body and eight stars appeared under her feet. Then she shouted. ”Heal!”
Immediately a green light covered the boy. Kadyn was left stunned when he saw this process. He knew the spell, Elora had cast, was the same he gave her some time ago. He had won it from the lottery.
After a minute later, she pulled her hand off the child and a smile appeared on her face. ”The boy is fine now.”
The woman immediately fell on her knees, her heart was filled with gratitude at this moment. ”Thank you, thank you so much.”
Elora hurriedly held the woman and said. ”Please, don't do that. I did that because I needed a chef. Otherwise, someone would make me eat restaurant food my entire life.”
Kadyn rolled his eyes at her and asked. ”What had happened to this child?” Elora's face darkened at his question. She looked at the woman in front of her and asked. ”What did your son eat last time?”
Looking at Elora's grave expression, her heart skipped a beat. She thought for a brief moment and said. ”He just drank milk in the morning.” She looked at Elora and asked cautiously. ”Is there something wrong, miss?”
