It was this part that shocked Thompson more than the existence of the man he had dated before. Thompson thought Till was a very innocent, angelic woman. It wasn't until she found out that Thiel was helping Thompson when he was down, he was a wealthy upper state. Thompson might have died on the cold floor if it wasn't for Till then, as there are many people in the city who don't want to get involved in other people's affairs.

 

I fell in love with her kind heart and beautiful appearance, and proposed to her, but I never dreamed that such a story would exist.

 

Toward Thompson, who was washing his face dry, Estio answered with a dull tone.

 

"It may have been. The poor farmer refused and chose the man who offered him expensive jewels."

 

"Ha, too."

 

"If that was the case, would your choice be different?"

 

"......Yes?"

 

Thompson, who lowered his head bitterly, stopped. Looking back at Estio, his unshakable dark blue eyes and eyes met directly.

 

"If your wife's choices were driven by 'poverty' and 'money', if you gave your heart to what you have."

 

Estio has often seen people fighting for money and accusing each other. In particular, he has thoroughly read the essential thoughts hidden deep in their hearts or the truth wrapped in lies.

 

The village of Selvia, where Estio grew up, was also accustomed to poverty. So he felt it was one of the natural attributes of human beings.

 

"Are you excluded from the 'two most precious people in the world' you mentioned?"

 

"It's not. Thiel is still my dear!"

 

"Then what has changed?"

 

"......!"

 

Thompson was speechless and kept his mouth shut. In the dream, Til was still haunted by her guilt and weeping bitterly.

 

Thompson licked his trembling lips.

 

"…It's different… there's nothing to lose. That's right. That's right. Anyway, Thiel is my wife. But the fact that I still can't get over that memory…"

 

Thompson's expression contorted as he looked into the dark blue eyes looking straight up.

 

"That's why I'm upset that I gave up on my daughter. Till won't mind if she dies right now!"

 

At that moment, Till's memory was cut off. All the scenes of the pot stopped as it was, as if the yarn that had been unwound was showing its end.

 

"It's not like it's nothing."

 

Estio chuckled at Til.

 

"Your wife is already ill, because she is weighed down by the thought that the child will die again."

 

"Are you sick in advance?"

 

"Yes. My wife thinks it's her fault for having her children die."

 

"What nonsense is that..."

 

Thompson stuttered towards Till, who had stopped like a statue. Drops of her tears that could not be dropped were barely hanging down her cheeks.

 

"Til."

 

"......"

 

"It's not your fault."

 

He knelt next to his messed up wife.

 

"It's not your fault. My daughter, Leah, isn't dead. She's alive and well, waiting for her mother."

 

In the frozen memory, the man embraced his wife with all his might.

 

"So, stop blaming yourself and come back. You don't need to get sick beforehand. Let's get sick with me, okay?"

 

wow.

 

Thought to be enveloped in the black mist again, they were thrown out of Doro Thiel's memory.

 

Returning to reality, Thompson was kneeling in front of Thiel, who was sitting in a rocking chair.

 

The power of Estio conveyed her husband's sincerity to the woman who closed her eyes and ears. This created a small crevice in her and erased her excessive guilt that had imprisoned her.

 

Then Til's green eyes, which had sunk without emotion, slowly regained focus. She found her husband kneeling in front of her own and gradually opened her eyes wide.

 

"...we are a family."

 

Wow-!

 

Then I heard a baby crying from downstairs. Til, who had been drooping without life, heard the sound and jumped up from his seat. She sat up for a long time and then suddenly got up, dizzy and staggering, but she hurriedly ran out the door.

 

On the second floor, stomping and jumping like a madman, there was a little baby crying in a pink cradle. Thiel, with tears in his eyes, reached out to his daughter.

 

"ostrich."

 

"Aww!"

 

The baby did not stop crying because she did not recognize the mother who had never been hugged until the stone passed. Till flinched back with her outstretched hand, covered her mouth and suppressed her crying. Even her mother could not cry in front of the crying baby.

 

Biting her lip, she held the baby in her arms as if to make atonement.

 

"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry. Leah, Mom was wrong..."

 

"Huiying."

 

The cries gradually subsided as the warm hands comforted his back and apologized constantly. But he couldn't stop, and he constantly whined.

 

A warm bottle suddenly appeared from over Til's shoulder, who was not sure what to do with the baby's cry. Thompson smiled at Til, who turned around in surprise, holding the bottle.

 

"You must be hungry. You can tell just by hearing the cry."

 

"Ah."

 

Till stared blankly, and Thompson was used to feeding the baby a bottle. There was an awkward silence between the couple, with the baby in the center, who immediately stopped crying and focused on eating.

 

Thompson was the first to say, "Well," he spoke.

 

"Aren't you hungry too? There's chicken soup, too."

 

"thanks."

 

Thiel's smile made Thompson not know what to do this time.

 

"Thank you."

 

"For waiting for me. Thank you and I'm sorry for calling you family."

 

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

 

The couple looked at each other warmly and smiled. Meanwhile, Estio, who was alone on the third floor, could not overcome her dizziness and collapsed to the floor.

 

"Estio!"

 

Neju called for him who had collapsed urgently, but there was no response.

 

It was an overload phenomenon caused by the sudden withdrawal of the ability that had been suppressed. In fact, the strength he possessed is like the deep sea, so the amount he used today had to be reasonable. However, for the past 19 years, he has been consciously restraining himself from using his abilities.

 

As he was about to burst and build up, he finally opened his powers with will, so an uncontrollably fast and powerful energy took over him.

 

He even succeeded in breaking into other people's memories with a completely unrelated person. Even Estio, who was the subject, could not bear the power of getting out and running like that. In the end, he was unable to calm his raging energy and lost his mind.

 

Neju picked up the fallen Estio and ran down the stairs.

 

"Myam! Help me!"

 

"Hey?!"

 

At the same time, the couple, who were about to share a touching kiss, were startled by the sudden appearance of a white-haired monkey and took a step back.

 

"Estio must be sick!"

 

"......!"

 

The talking white-haired monkey was startling, but for the first time, Estio, who had fallen, took priority. Thompson, who saw him pale and sweating in a cold sweat, hurried up to him and touched his forehead.

 

"The fever is boiling! Go to the medical center immediately."

Neju asked Thompson, the owner of Estio, looking back at Til, who was terrified.

 

"Wait a minute with Leah. This boy is our benefactor, so we can't leave it like this. I'll be back soon."

 

"let's go together."

 

Thiel grabbed Leia tightly and followed Thompson's side. She didn't want to move even a single step out of the room, but she wasn't his wife. As Thompson stared in surprise, Till patted Leah on the back and nodded her head vigorously.

 

"It's family, right? We have to help each other. Because that person is our benefactor."

 

"Yes."

 

"Keang, hurry up! What if Estio dies like this!"

 

"Okay. Let's go."

 

They hurriedly left the house together. Fortunately, the medical center was located not far from Thompson's home. The therapist, who had been dozing off in the middle of the night, was startled by the people who rushed to him and stood up.

 

The therapist, who laid Estio on the medical bed and checked the condition, tilted his head over and over again, and then carefully expressed his opinion.

 

"This is strange. The fever boils abnormally, but there are no other symptoms. This young man, are you with any special abilities?"

 

"That's right. It seems like it happened as soon as I used the ability."

 

"Ah, is it a matter of ability control? Then it's not my business."

 

"It's not up to you. Then where should we go?"

 

At Thompson's question, the therapist shook his head.

 

"There is no dedicated medical facility for people with special abilities in Galasia. I've heard that this often happens because the body can't handle it due to overflowing abilities or inexperienced controls. If the report doesn't improve, you should ask for help from the guild to which this patient belongs."

 

The therapist, who recognized the guild uniform that Estio was wearing, left the place to watch for one more day.

 

Neju squatted next to Estio, who had lost consciousness. The Thompsons, unable to find anything else to do because the therapist had left, turned their attention to the talking white-haired monkey.

 

"You... no, you... um..."

 

It made me feel uncomfortable because I know how to talk to people if I just treat them like animals. However, if you try to treat people like you do, it just feels weird. Thompson, who opened and closed his mouth several times, finally grunted and spoke.

 

"Hey."

 

"......"

 

"there."

 

"......"

 

However, Neju remained silent as if what she had just said was a lie. He just stood next to Estio with the face of a gentle white-haired monkey. Embarrassed, the Thompsons and Tills looked at each other and shrugged.

 

"Lea is there too, so we'll go in first. I've put the money in front of you, so please stay in the hospital comfortably. If you need help, come to me."

 

"…….."

 

After explaining kindly, Neju blinked her red eyes and opened her mouth carefully.

 

"...what about the request?"

 

"Well."

 

Thompson and Thiel already knew that Nezu could speak, but they still looked at them in amazement.

 

"Is it a condition for Jasper's top to reopen? For the benefactor, of course it should be. Since my wife has recovered her mental health, I was going to open the door even if it doesn't. Don't worry, my friend, please take care of it."

 

With those words, the Thompsons left the hospital. Neju, who was left alone by Estio's side, squatted down and began to wait for him to wake up.

 

"Estio, the humans you were trying to help have returned to normal, and the quest was successful. He did it all."

 

Neju thought strongly so that he could hear it even in his dreams.

 

"Then let's get up and go home."

 

Inside the medical center, there was a warm air maintained by thermal insulation magic, but Neju felt that it was colder than the snow-capped mountain where he had originally lived. Although the white fur monkey was strong against the cold, he did not get used to it at all. She remembered the day she lost her mother and all her people.

 

Without him, no one would listen to the young white fur monkey. Neju shook her head and let out a small cry.

 

"Miawoong......."

 

In the end, Neju spent the night awake next to him with an anxious mind.
