196 Zachary’s Wife

Zachary brought Aethelwolf to his humble abode. He felt a bit embarrassed because of his poor living conditions, but Aethelwolf didn’t seem to mind this.

To save himself from further embarrassment, he immediately led Aethelwolf to where his wife was.

Aethelwolf could smell the strong scent of medicinal herbs inside the room.

He saw a woman lying on the bed with her eyes shut tight. She looked thin and sickly with her pale face and dry lips.

Looking at her condition, Aethelwolf furrowed his eyebrows.

Zachary sat on the bed and caressed the woman’s face gently as he muttered in a desolate tone. “My wife has been unconscious for a long time now. We were on a dangerous mission back then and she ended up using all her world essence, causing her Hegel to be damaged. She overexerted herself in that mission and her level even dropped to Level 3. Her soul is also injured because of that event. If not for her having the body of a Level 4 Esper, she would have already succumbed to her injuries. If only I was strong enough, she wouldn’t have to overuse her power.” He blamed himself for what had happened to his wife and every time he looked at her face, his guilt would overwhelm him.

Aethelwolf patted the man’s shoulder. “Let me check her pulse.” He said.

Zachary stood up and nodded at Aethelwolf. He didn’t say anything and just looked at Aethelwolf in silence. Many Doctors and Alchemists tried to cure his wife, but none of them were even able to awaken her.



Aethelwolf placed his fingers on the woman’s wrist to check her pulse. He then sent out his world essence to observe the condition of her body.

.....

He closed his eyes to get a clearer picture of what was happening inside her body and he found out that there was indeed a major damage to her Hegel. He also noticed that her heart has become weaker and it was almost no different from a normal human’s heart.

Espers have stronger physical bodies compared to the average humans and their internal organs are also many times stronger. This was because Espers’ bodies required more energy to function properly.

Aethelwolf opened his eyes and looked away from the woman. He turned his gaze to Zachary and smiled at him. “Don’t worry. I can save your wife. I believe that you have already heard about the pills we sell in our clinic.”

Zachary nodded his head. The hope in his eyes intensified when he heard Aethelwolf’s words. “I’ve heard about your pills. Truthfully, I sent someone to purchase your pills and I also helped my wife consume them. However, she still showed no signs of recovery after taking those pills.” He sighed.

Aethelwolf wasn’t surprised when he heard this. “That’s only natural. Your wife’s injuries are so severe that even the pills in our clinic are ineffective, but those pills are only weakened versions so it’s normal for them to fail. Try these instead.” He said while taking out a few pills from his storage space.

‘Those pills are just the weakened versions? No wonder.’ Zachary took the pills from his hands and observed them carefully. They were no different than the pills he bought from his clinic. The only difference was that they contain more energy.

“Crush those pills and mix them into a glass half-filled with water. You can use this water. This is water imbued with world essence. It is exposed to my energy daily so it works like an elixir. You just have to...” Aethelwolf gave him a couple of instructions and Zachary followed them accordingly.

After mixing the crushed pills into the water he provided, Zachary gently opened his wife’s lips and brought the glass to her mouth, and helped her take small sips of the mixture.

“Make sure that she drinks everything inside that glass.” Aethelwolf reminded.

Zachary listened to his advice and helped his wife drink the contents of the glass.

After the woman drank the mixture, her dry lips turned rosy and her face regained color. She no longer looked pale and she had recovered to a certain extent.

Aethelwolf checked her pulse once more and nodded his head in satisfaction. “She should awaken in a few hours. Her body is still weak at the moment so she would require three more dosages of the mixture. Just mix according to my instructions and let her drink it three more times. She should be able to walk after three days. Here are the pills and you can also have this water bottle. I’ll write the mixture for you in case you have forgotten it.” Aethelwolf took out a piece of paper and began scribbling down the detailed recipe of the mixture. He then handed it to the emotional Zachary.

“Thank you so much, Sir Aethelwolf!” Zachary noticed that his wife’s face looked more alive now. That means the method used by Aethelwolf was effective!

“You can thank me once she regains consciousness. You can also pour me a drink when that time comes.” Aethelwolf smiled at him. He then looked at the time on his watch. “It’s getting late. I should head back to the mansion. You already know the address of the mansion. You can bring your wife with you on your next visit.”

“You’re heading back already? How about staying here for dinner? I’ll cook something for you.” Zachary said right away.

Aethelwolf shook his head. “There’s no need for that. You saw my daughter, right? She would cause a ruckus if I don’t return home before dinner time. No one at home can handle her.” He chuckled as he uttered those words.

Zachary recalled the little girl he saw in the mansion and he couldn’t help but smile. He no longer insisted and said. “Alright. In that case, let me send you off.”

He brought Aethelwolf out of his home and casually talked with him along the way.

Zachary no longer felt worried for his wife now that he had Aethelwolf’s help.

“Aethelwolf...” He muttered his benefactor’s name as he looked at Aethelwolf’s carriage moving away.
