Hearing Lily's words, Vania nodded. "Okay."
When she moved just now, she still felt immense pain, so she sat there obediently.
Hanson, Larry, and Linda also just woke up this morning. Just like Vania, right after waking up, they had to confirm that everyone was safe before they relaxed. Since their injuries had to be checked thoroughly, they were asked to sit still and undergo examination without moving.
"Can I see my wife now?" Hanson's voice was anxious, streaked with hints of anticipation.
He was already fine, but Vania was still in a coma, so he couldn't rest easy.
Linda nodded sincerely as well. "Where is she now? How is she?"
The ones who were giving them treatment were The Great Chemist's disciples. At their query, the disciples had complicated expressions on their faces.
Should they come clean and say that the youngest disciple was particular about cleanliness and didn't want anyone to enter her room?
That didn't seem appropriate. Hence, they could only scratch their heads awkwardly and open their mouths to explain, "Um…"
Before they began speaking, footsteps sounded outside. It was none other than the youngest disciple, Lily.
Noticing that everyone's eyes were focused outside the door, Hanson also looked subconsciously in that direction. Even though there was a door between them, he felt his heartbeat quicken.
It was a little girl, and for some reason, he wanted to see her.
At that moment, Lily opened the door and greeted politely, "Hello, seniors."
"Hello, Lily."
She was still very young, so the other disciples of The Great Chemist treated her like their own daughter and pampered her greatly.
Also, Lily was pretty and kind-hearted and also intelligent to boot. Even at her young age, her skills in the medical field were outstanding, so the other disciples loved and respected her even more.
Ever since she went in, Hanson kept a steady and straight gaze on her.
Oh, my! She looks so much like Vania! Is this girl the descendant of The Great Chemist's junior? Or is she…?
Suppressing the suspicion in his heart, Hanson stared intently at the little girl who seemed to demand his attention.
Lily looked over at him and froze when their gazes met.
"The beautiful lady is awake now, and she wants to see you."
She stated her intentions, but still, she couldn't help examining Hanson.
When Hanson heard her speak, he instantly regained his senses and covered his mouth with a fist, coughing to hide his gaffe.
"How is she now? Please take me to her." With a quick stride, Hanson stood in front of Lily.
"Come with me."
The couple looked very similar when they were panicking. Soon, the three followed her out of the room.
This place was a small piece of flatland in the mountains. Trees teemed all around them, and there was a winding brook a short distance away, with water so clear that one could see the riverbed.
There were a few cabins built in this flatland, and their designs were quite unique, as if they were hidden havens.
Hanson couldn't help but gasp in admiration. This was where The Great Chemist resided. This place is honestly something else.
It truly wasn't easy to come upon this sort of place on this mountain.
While he was thinking, they had arrived at Lily's dwelling place.
Hanson anxiously opened the door to see Vania sitting on the bed, perfectly fine. Finally! Finally! Vania!
"Darling." He kept calling her name in soft mutters, as if he were calling out to the whole world.
Vania took his hand. "I'm fine. What about you?"
"We're alright too."
Hanson parted his lips and told her that they were all okay.
Then, he turned and looked toward Lily. "Thank you for saving us."
As Lily saw Vania clutching Hanson's hand, she felt a little sad inside. She wanted to take Vania's hand too.
She said a little coldly, "No need for thanks. Our master is the one who saved you."
