Chapter 910 Bad News Part 2

Her daughter, Leria was delighted to have her favorite uncle back. Lith would have been highly complimented for such words if it weren’t for the fact that he was the only uncle she had.

From what she had heard about them, Leria imagined Trion and Orpal with monstrous features, whereas she considered Aran like a little brother. She was the one taking care of him, not the other way around.

"Are you alright, Uncle?" She extended her arms upwards, in a plea to be held. Leria was now a little past four years old, yet she was already 1.1 meters (3’7") tall. She had taken her mother’s eyes and hair along with her grandmother’s grace.

She was as lithe as a cat and almost as strong-willed.

"Mom and Granma cried a lot. Once they cried so hard that I thought you were dead, so I started crying too." Her words managed to make him feel even worse, but he sucked it up and smiled.

"I’m fine, thank you. I just had a lot of work to do and some issues with my amulet." Lith lifted her from the ground with ease, as if she was weightless.

’Wow, lying to a child. That’s a new low, even for you.’ Solus sneered.

Senton, Rena’s husband, was surprised by the invitation. Lith’s family was kind to him, yet he couldn’t shrug off the feeling of being an unwanted guest every time he was there.

Usually he would politely decline, but he couldn’t stand being apart from his wife in such a critical moment. After Warping Rena, Lith picked up Kamila and together invited Zinya.

Luckily, during the last renovation, Raaz had planned the living room so that it could host their son’s private events, engagement parties included, so there was plenty of space at the table for the guests.

The only person who didn’t make it to the homecoming lunch was Tista. With a single hour’s notice, she couldn’t make in time to the nearest city Gate nor could she just drop her clients out of the blue.

"You’ll pay for this, Lith Verhen." She said, making him happy to not have a middle name.

The meal was delicious and the mood joyful. Lith gave presents to everyone. Useful enchanted items for the adults and toys for the children. Yet there were two sour notes ruining the reunion for him.

The first was the fact that once the initial relief had passed, everyone was pissed off with him whereas Kamila was held in high regard. She had done her best during the last few months, covering for his shortcomings and keeping his family updated about Lith’s well-being.

The Verhens didn’t meet Kamila since Lith’s last visit, but they had heard from her almost every day and considered her as part of their family.

Last, but not least, there was the issue with Rena’s unborn child.

’It’s a very odd situation. Tista’s illness has never been observed in male patients.’ Lith had thoroughly studied the disease as Nana’s apprentice first and at the White Griffon later.

Usually, treating a congenital condition required Body Sculpting, but Lith had used Invigoration as a kid to get rid of all the damages and symptoms. By the time he had learned about tier five healing magic, Tista’s self-Awakening process had already fixed the imperfection her life force had been born with.

’Indeed, maybe we should try asking for help.’ Solus said. ’Degenerative diseases are already hard to treat in children, getting rid of them while the baby is still in the womb is even worse.’

’Yeah, it took me over a month to treat Tista, but she was self-sufficient and could help me understand when to stop the treatment. Not only does the unborn child not have that much time, but I must also avoid triggering labor or damaging his mother and siblings.
