Chapter 49.1

My aunt looked puzzled.

“Yes, that’s why they gave me the finished medicine. Billiers said that what I had contributed a lot in class was helpful. And he was grateful that I was interested.”

I checked my great grand aunt’s reaction. She didn’t seem to find me suspicious.

“Yes, researchers always need different perspectives, so it was natural that he could have gotten your help. God helped you anyway.”

She nodded her head. Fortunately, I thought I could move on to this.

I didn’t have anything more to explain. Still, I was relieved to see my dad taking medicine.

“Sit down, Lulu. Billiers and Gerald will be here soon. I’ll bring them in later.”

“Yes.”

Alexid grabbed me by the shoulder and went out.

My mind went blank.

Everything that just happened was unrealistic. My fallen father, the medicine Billiers gave, and the people that came to help us.

My grandaunt held my hand tightly. Her hands were so warm that relief flooded into me.

“Grandaunt.”

My aunt smiled when I called her.

“Yes, Lulu. You were surprised, right?

Tears flowed again at the warm question.

It was a relief.

Then Gerald and Billiers arrived. They came straight to our bedroom.

“Louella, did you take medicine?”

“Yes, I mixed the medicine in water and drank it with my mouth.”

“Whoo….”

Billiers nodded.

“I just came here. I still think the medicine is not perfect. Did I explain that there could be side effects?”

The side effects?

I didn’t hear that. I shook my head.

“Some people couldn’t hear, and some people couldn’t move their fingers. We still have to wait and see how this situation turns out. Some of the people who are left with the side effects have slowly returned to function.”

“I understand.”

I prayed with one heart in front of my dying father in my past life. It doesn’t matter if my dad can’t walk. It doesn’t matter if my dad can’t talk.

I only wished for my father to come back to life. I just wanted him to stay with us a little longer.

“It doesn’t matter. I’m fine with anything.”

He shook his head.

“I’m really fine.”

Gerald hugged me carefully around the shoulders. For now, I didn’t want to push Gerald out. Gerald was the person I’ve known the longest, except for my family.

And he was once the closest people I knew. It was comforting for me to have Gerald around now.

“Lulu…”

I leaned my head on Gerald’s shoulder.

“Thank you, Gerald.”

He wasn’t around when I needed him the most in my life, but this time, he stood by me as if it was the most natural thing for him to do.

I clenched my teeth.

I didn’t know what the difference was between now and before. Why had Gerald changed? He’s always next to me now.

I looked up at Gerald.

Wait.

Why is Gerald…?

Realization hit me. Gerald had been next to me the whole time. However, I had never been able to point it out.

For example, he helped Billiers make the Nisephor drug.

And he was obsessed with the medicine as well! It was then that I realized I had pushed Gerald away for no reason!

Gerald never questioned my distance at any moment.

My heart sank with a thud.

The voice in my heart gave me a careful answer.

What if Gerald remembers as well…? What if?

Gerald, do you know your past life as well?

Everything seemed to make sense now. It once occurred to me that one other person might have been involved in the development of medicine.

The other day when Billiers brought in a note.

I had guessed that there might be someone other than me. At the time, I just thought there would be someone who needed medicine.

Since Gerald entered the academy, the relationship between them had rapidly grown close.

What if Nisephor was the main reason why he chose to go there?

I stared at Gerald with trembling eyes.

Is it really you? Really…… You.

I grabbed Gerald’s clothes.

I felt like I wanted to scream. Gerald! I have felt deceived by the years when I comforted myself, saying that he was not the Gerald that I knew.

I felt a terrible sense of betrayal.

It felt like blood was pouring out from under my feet.

The reason why I never questioned him was simple.

Time Paradox.

Because it’s hard to explain all that. It was so special to think that any person near me could have gone through it as well.
