Supreme Magus novel Chapter 610

"Zinya, allow me to introduce to you Professor Zogar Vastor and Healer Quylla Ernas. He is the leading light in the field of Body Sculpting and the expert I told you about. Quylla is a genius healer and a dear friend of mine.

"They are both here to help me with your procedure." Lith said.

"It is my honor that such an important person bothered himself for a nobody like me, Professor Vastor." Zinya stood up and gave a deep bow in the direction of Lith’s voice, her head almost touched the floor.

"It’s nothing, my lady. There’s no need to thank me, at least not before we’ve succeeded healing you." Despite his humble words, Vastor puffed out his chest in pride.

It had been a long time since a beautiful woman had praised him with such sincerity.

"Nice to meet you, Healer Ernas. Please, take good care of me." Zinya gave a curtsy, this time following Vastor’s voice.

"The pleasure is all mine." Quylla said. There was something wrong with both the house and its inhabitants, something that gave her the creeps.

"We need to perform a few diagnostic spells that require physical contact. Do you mind if we touch your head?" Vastor asked.

"Not at all."

The moment Vastor cast his best diagnostic spells Lith could see him turn pale before his usually calm visage was twisted into a red mask of anger. He was clenching his teeth so hard that Lith wouldn’t be surprised to hear them crack.

"Quylla, I need a second opinion." Vastor said while making her way.

"Lith, I would like to take lady Sarta to the White Griffon Hospital immediately. We can’t perform any procedure until her body doesn’t recover and she doesn’t put a bit of meat on those bones." His voice was calm, but Vastor had a murderous look in his eyes that could rival with Lith’s.

"I agree with your assessment, Professor. Lady Sarta needs immediate assistance." Unlike Vastor, Quylla’s poker face was perfect.

’So far so good. I healed everything but left behind everything a competent healer would need to diagnose the repeated domestic abuse over the years.’ Lith inwardly smiled. In the case of divorce, Vastor’s testimony would mean a great deal.

"Now? I’ve not prepared any luggage." Zinya said.

"There’s no need for luggage. The White Griffon will provide you all that you might need." Vastor opened a Warp Steps leading them back to the city’s Warp Gate and from there they could reach the hospital ward directly.

Once Zinya was settled in her bed, Lith called Kamila with his civilian communication amulet and left the two sisters talking before meeting the Professor again in his study.

Kamila’s supervisor wasn’t very happy about a social call during working hours, but Jirni had a family as well, so she let it slide.

"Scum of the earth." Vastor snarled as Lith entered the room.

"These are the moments when I regret having left the Queen’s corps. Back then, I would have killed people like mister Sarta without a second thought, just adding their name in the ’collateral damage’ list."

"Professor! We’re Healers, not cold blooded killers. We took an oath!" Quylla rebuked him.

"It’s easy to say when you are so young and naïve. When you reach my age, after you’ll see things so bad that make that poor woman look lucky in comparison, you’ll change your mind. I’m tired of seeing good people die while the bad guys thrive."

"I agree with Professor Vastor." Lith said.
