"Huh?"
Violet looked at him, bewildered and puzzled.
She heard Sebastian say,
"The concert is tomorrow, I’m worried that finishing it might have side effects that affect my condition tomorrow."
Violet’s eyes widened slightly, "That can’t be, right?"
Sebastian responded with a serious expression,
"Have you done this kind of paperwork before?"
It was Violet’s first divorce, so how could she have done it before? She shook her head immediately.
Sebastian continued,
"See, you haven’t done it either, you don’t know if finishing this process will have an impact on you, and I don’t want to take the risk."
Sebastian wasn’t deliberately shirking, as it was nearing an important work time, he had to be in his best condition.
Starting two days ago, he had been fasting from any food that might cause pressure on his throat or facial swelling.
Now, they were both unsure if burning the Underworld divorce paperwork would have any impact on their spirits or fortunes, so the best course was to temporarily maintain the status quo.
He suggested,
Violet listened to him and felt there was some sense to it.
Blame her for coming late again.
"If you don’t mind, can we wait until my tour ends completely to divorce?" Sebastian asked.
Violet almost couldn’t hold back a laughter upon hearing this,
"If you don’t mind, how could I mind?"
As she said that, as if murmuring softly,
"After all, a normal person suddenly being bound to a Nether Contract with Life Impermanence, feels very uncomfortable..."
Her voice was very soft, more like an offhand remark, yet Sebastian caught it, thinking of her occasional self-deprecation before, he frowned slightly,
"I’ve never minded being bound to a Nether Contract with you, why would you think I would feel uncomfortable?"
He said this, not waiting for her to speak, and seriously asked her,
"Did I do something before to offend your identity?"
Seeing him suddenly serious, Violet hurriedly waved her hands,
"No, no, you didn’t offend me."
To be honest, she has offended him more times.
She wanted to laugh it off, but seeing Sebastian still seriously staring at her, as if waiting for an answer,
Violet felt a bit inexplicable tightness at her heart.
She sat on the sofa beside her, placing her hands on her knees, sitting like a child called to the principal, then asked him softly,
"You’ve seen me work, don’t you feel repulsed by the profession of Impermanence?"
It’s said hospitals are the closest places to death, and the most frequent residents are Impermanence.
But in hospitals, doctors save lives, Impermanence is responsible for taking people away.
No one likes the presence of Impermanence.
Because it usually means someone nearby has died.
Just like after death, funerals are held, but normally, when people encounter funeral homes, they tend to avoid them, afraid of being tainted with a bit of bad luck.
After Violet became a Life Impermanence, she had grown used to these things.
Yet that day, when Sebastian tried to save the dying, it still produced an inexplicable sense of defeat within Violet.
It was a defeat that made her clearly aware of the gap between her and Sebastian.
Even when rejected during blind dates, she never felt like that, yet that day, even though Sebastian didn’t show a hint of disdain or rejection toward her, she just felt inexplicably sad.
Violet was never a sensitive or inferior person, but that day in front of Sebastian, she was sensitive.
Perhaps deep down, she feared he might reject her too.
Her voice was light, but to Sebastian’s ears, it stirred a sudden tremor in his heart.
At this moment, he finally realized what she was concerned about.
