Supreme Magus novel Chapter 597

"Don’t worry, both Zinya and I know a lot about it." Kamila held Lith’s hand, moved by his words. Usually, healers had god complex. Hearing him admitting his own limits was proof of how seriously Lith was considering the matter.

"The real problem will be convincing her to get treated and how to deal with her husband."

"I can assure you the latter will not be an issue." Lith had a psycho killer smile that gave Kamila the creeps and forced Solus to step in.

’You are Lith Verhen now, not Derek McCoy. You have no known reason for a personal vendetta against that kind of man. You are scaring Kamila out of her wits.’ She thought.

Lith snapped out of his bloody daydreams and noticed his girlfriend’s distress. He took a deep breath and wore his best mask for the occasion.

"Sorry, I got carried away. Still, dealing with a dirtbag is easy, but if the patient doesn’t want to be treated, there’s nothing I can do." He said.

Kamila sighed in relief. He was back to be the person she knew and loved. She even felt flattered for him taking her sister’s situation personally.

"I know. That’s why I want you two to meet. Maybe Zinya will change her mind if she knows that her Healer doesn’t think of her as just a number on his personal record. Are you free tomorrow morning?" She asked.

"For you, I’m free the whole day."

"I wish. I’m in the middle of a bad case, I had to beg my supervisor just to get a few hours leave. Once we are done with Zinya, I have to rush back to work and we will not see each other before dinner." Kamila’s shoulders slouched.

She had long since dreamed of becoming a Royal Constable, yet between the training and the fieldwork, she was already missing her job as an army handler. The pay was average and the work repetitive, but at least it usually left her quite a bit of free time.

"Then go to bed, you need some rest. I’ll join you as soon as I’m done with the kitchen and a long, cold shower." Lith said while plates and cutlery floated in mid air to be cleaned by a mix of soap, water, and darkness magic.

"Thank you very much. You have no idea how much freeing my sister from that monster’s clutches means to me." She said while hugging him tightly from behind.

’I know it all too well.’ Lith could feel his rage trying to manifest outside his mind, but he kept it at bay and said:

"There’s no jury in the world that would convict me if I pounced on you now. It would be a clear case of self defence."

"Pervert." Kamila chuckled as she gave him a good night kiss before disappearing in the bedroom. She really did feel very tired, but the worst thing was that things had already changed.

’Whatever I do, I’m afraid that Lith might think that I’m bribing him with sex or sweet talk. Gods, I’m so happy he agreed to help us, yet I’m so scared about how things will turn out.’ Kamila’s stomach was churning out of stress.

Meanwhile, Lith took a very cold shower to calm his nerves. The idea of facing a man who resembled his first father made his blood turn into magma.

’You did well not suggesting her to kill this Fallmug guy. I think it would have scared her to death. Remember that a lot of people have a problem with your switch personality.’ Solus thought before asking:

’Why are you taking so long with the shower?’ _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}

’To give Kamila the time to think and me an excuse to think she is already asleep. This is not how I pictured my first date with her after my return. This is damn awkward.’ Lith thought.

Lith was regretting both his earlier attempt at seducing her and his stupid sex jokes, but back then he had no idea Zinya’s situation was that bad. He thought it was just an unhappy marriage.
