Chapter 1020 - The Road to Survival (2) (2/2)

“This…”

Lilian looked at Sonia with a complicated expression. The latter knitted her brows subtly.

“My apologies, this young lady here is still an apprentice and doesn’t have the qualifications to treat a patient yet…”

“Sonia?”

At this moment, Sonia felt Lilian gently tugging her sleeve. She lowered her head and found Lilian gazing at her in uncertainty and clenched fists.

“… Since he needs help, I think… we should… help him, isn’t it?”

“But…”

Sonia hesitated as she didn’t want anything to do with the villagers, be it good or bad. If the parliament were to find out their location, it would mean disaster for them and the villagers. Sonia understood Lilian’s feelings, but…

“Sonia?”

“…”

Sonia looked at Lilian’s pleading gaze, before pondering in silence. Then, she nodded in agreement.

After finishing their meals, the duo packed their luggage and followed the elderly man to his home. Just like the elderly man said, his grandson who was younger than six years old was lying on the bed with a high fever. He looked pale, as though he was about to die. Lilian couldn’t remain indifferent about it. She quickly approached the boy and softly chanted with extended arms. Along with her actions, a spotless, white radiance emanated from between her palms, enfolding the young boy entirely. Shortly after, the young boy’s complexion turned better and he looked less painful. His hastened breathing also became calmer.

As a Creator Dragon, Lilian was still confident in her skills in healing.

At this moment, Sonia and Lilian heard the door open. They turned around and saw a farmer covered in dirt walking into the room. The farmer was surprised to see them. He stared blankly, before pulling a long face and striding forward.

“Who are you? What are you trying to do to my son!”

“Shut up, Mike. I was the one who got them here to treat his illness. This young lady here is a cleric!”

“Cleric?”

The man came to a halt, sizing up Lilian who stood by the window. As they were in the room, Lilian didn’t conceal her face under the hood like she could outdoors. Shortly after, the man shifted his gaze and went up to his son. After ensuring that he was no longer feverish, he heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, he turned around and bowed respectfully to Lilian.

“Thank you so much for your help, Miss. I’m sorry for my rudeness… I have been too concerned about my son’s health. When I saw outsiders around, I got a little… agitated. Please forgive me.”

“Ah, no. It’s nothing. I didn’t take it to heart, so please don’t apologize… This is my duty.”

Lilian was apparently flustered as she waved her arms about hurriedly. The man stood up straight after looking at her actions. Then, he said.

“Judging from both of your appearances, I suppose you two are travelers, right? In this case, please rest here for the night. This is also a form of our appreciation…”

Sonia knitted her brows slightly.

“We thank you for your kindness, we…”

Before Sonia finished her sentence, she turned to Lilian. Even though Lilian didn’t say a word, it was apparent from her gaze that she was in favor of this suggestion. Indeed, this might just be an ordinary farmer’s house with nothing spectacular, but sleeping on a large, soft bed beat sleeping in the wild on the ice-cold grass. This was an incredible offer to a little girl.

“… Alright then, we will accept your kind gesture,” Sonia replied. She heaved a soft sigh and eventually shook her head slightly.
