Matthew couldn't bear to let Selina leave this world at such a young age. Since there was a chance to avoid it from happening, he couldn't stop himself from wanting to grab hold of the opportunity.
Only then did he finally understand her feelings from that time.
That silly girl knew that this misunderstanding would leave him in pain, but she did it anyway.
Because her mindset back then was just like his right now.
They wanted the other person to survive.
Even if it would not be a life of happiness.
Finally, they reached Essie's house after rushing over.
It was a worn-out hut.
Lothar brought Matthew in.
Essie was already waiting at the door.
At the sight of Essie, Lothar said, "Essie, I've found him. You can talk to him about what he should do. Let's discuss it together and think of a plan."
Essie looked at Matthew.
Her expression was cold.
"Do you want to save that girl called Selina?" she asked.
Matthew immediately said, "Yes, I'm sorry to trouble you. As long it is to save her."
She let out a sarcastic laugh.
Pointed at Lothar, she said, "To save Selina, you are sentencing Lothar to die! Do you know that there's nothing you guys can do to save her? If you want her to live, Lothar has to give up his own life. Lothar said he owed his life to her..."
"Essie!" Lothar shouted suddenly. "What nonsense are you spouting!"
He brought Matthew here for them to discuss how to save Selina and how to execute the plan. He did not expect Essie to say such a thing.
Her eyes reddened as she said, "How is this nonsense? Isn't this the truth, Lothar? You'll die if you want to save Selina!"
"That will be of my own free will!" Lothar cried.
Her face turned pale when she heard his words.
Her lips trembled, but she did not continue to speak.
Matthew looked at Lothar, dumbstruck.
Suddenly, he understood something.
No wonder why the people he and Tobias had found could do nothing to save Selina.
Instead, it was Lothar who had the solution.
It turned out that the method he mentioned was witchcraft, and it would cost Lothar's life to save Selina.
After almost no moment of hesitation, Matthew said, "Lothar, let's forget about this plan. I can't accept it, neither would Selina. I will be on my way."
After that, Matthew opened the door and got in the car.
Lothar quickly pulled open the door and got into the car too.
He roared, "Matthew Perry, don't you love Selina? Do you want to watch her die? Now that there is a way to save her, how can you not agree to it?!"
"Lothar, I can't accept using your life in exchange for Selina's. Unless it is my life for hers." Matthew paused for a moment and smiled bitterly.
After all, he knew he couldn't do it.
Because his body had been implanted with medicine.
Lothar retorted, "It's fine. As long as I'm willing to sacrifice mine!"
Matthew replied, "Lothar, she will not agree with
it." "That's why I came to you. You can hide it from her."
"Lothar, enough nonsense. Get out of the car." At this time, Matthew felt a little calmer.
It seemed it was destined that he and Selina would leave this world together. In fact, it was not a bad thing either.
But it wasn't the same for Lothar. He was losing control of himself as he said, "Matthew Perry, how can you be so selfish? You don't have the right to decide whether Selina lives or dies. I can give her life to live longer. Why would you not agree? What right do you have to decide! Don't you know how much fear, panic, and loneliness she is feeling to die at such a young age?!"
"Lothar, I've also been injected with the medicine in my body," Matthew uttered word by word.
Lothar was stunned.
Matthew continued, "This medicine will speed up my aging process until I die. I will leave with Selina. She won't be alone when she's gone. I will hold her hand until the end. She will not be afraid or panic. Don't worry."
Lothar's body stiffened.
In fact, when he saw Matthew this day, he did realize something was off.
