Chapter 700 - I Mustve Gone Crazy (1/2)

”You must remember now. You've met my father and mother.” London seemed to be able to read L's mind and immediately confirmed her suspicions.

L half-screamed, pressing her lips with both hands. Her pair of round eyes widened.

Gosh! Then... the young men and women he called Mr. and Mrs. Schneider at that time were... the parents of the man beside her?

Why do they look so young?

Is... London really telling the truth?

After struggling with her own thoughts for a few minutes, L finally realized that London had no reason to lie to her for this kind of thing.

Her c.h.e.s.t was pounding. L felt shocked as she panted. Seeing L looking stressed, London hurriedly pulled the girl's head into his arms. He calmed L by whispering soft words so the girl would be less stressed.

”Uncle Lauriel is the best medicine expert and he gave the medicine for your heart when you were about to give birth to Lily to strengthen your heart so you'd be able to give birth normally. Right now, your heart condition has improved, so you don't need to worry about getting sick again. I won't let you get sick. Calm yourself. Come on, inhale,” he said in a soft voice. ”Now... exhale...”

L followed London's words and regulated her breath carefully. She just realized that, indeed, her condition had improved recently. She had no idea that she was given medicine for her heart. All her life, even the best doctors could do nothing to help her. But now... she really felt that her body was much healthier.

She remembered that Lily's birth was a very dangerous moment for her. She could have died! But she managed to get through it all and gave birth to Lily normally. Something that should be impossible according to Dr. Muller's words.

”Honey, not only the best treatment, if you're willing to marry me and live forever with me and Lily, you'll receive an immortality potion as a wedding gift. You'll stay young all your life and there will be no illness that can bother you. Alchemists have perfect cells that constantly regenerate, so we'll never get sick or experience aging. Your heart disease will be cured, you will be able to stay with me and Lily forever until someday we decide it's time for us to die. The decision is in our hands.”

Everything she heard was indeed very shocking, but the way London delivered it calmly and in order somehow managed to make L believe him and not shocked like she was earlier. L felt her c.h.e.s.t no longer pounding hard, and her feelings began to calm down.

This is really too good to be true. She pinched her hand and realized she wasn't dreaming. Wasn't she really lucky? This man beside her loved her so much, did so many things for her, and was even willing to lie to protect her feelings. And now... this man even offered her an immortality potion.

Which human didn't want to live forever young?

L lifted her face and looked at London with tears in her eyes. ”What about Lily?”
