968: Chapter 89: A Glimpse into Guardian Axel’s True Plan (5400) 968: Chapter 89: A Glimpse into Guardian Axel’s True Plan (5400) When Roland returned ho, his father Moda was already delirious, lying in bed, mumbling nonsensical words that could not form coherent sentences, occasionally becoming particularly agitated.
Several doctors and monks from the Huai Guang Church were attempting to calm Moda’s emotions, but clearly, the disease that had penetrated deep into the brain was difficult to treat.
Even utilizing Sublimation Skills only served to quiet Moda temporarily.
“What’s going on?”
Even soone as good-natured as Roland beca anxious.
He had just arrived ho and ca to his father’s bedside, then turned his head to look at the dical staff and asked patiently, “My father was improving when I left.
I thought he had co to terms with it…
He was even able to slap back then!”
“I’m very sorry, sir, but your father…”
The dical staff were hesitant, but eventually shook their heads: “Your father has been subjected to a quite powerful Spirit Energy influence.
Whether he continues to live in delusion or soone points it out and he regains clarity, either could have helped his mind recover normally.”
“But your father has not co out of it.
He may have broken free from the delusion but would rather live in it.
Knowing he’s clear-headed, he still doesn’t want to wake up…
This contradictory state has caused him too much harm.”
Roland stood there, stunned.
How could he not know about his own father’s condition?
Lord Ian had detailed to him how he exposed the conspiracy of the forr Lord of Leyan and the deception played on Steward Moda, harming the territory.
Helping Steward Moda break free from Yila’s Spirit Energy was part of it.
At the ti, he had breathed a sigh of relief and was grateful to Ian for helping his father escape that layer of deception and not be fooled by Baron Leyan.
But now it seed… His own father actually preferred to continue being deceived?
This…
Wasn’t surprising.
Roland wasn’t a child anymore, he knew well that sotis, even when one clearly knows what is ‘right,’ people still choose what’s ‘wrong.’ If an error could bring pleasant mories, then why must one invariably do the right thing?
But he didn’t expect that his father would be this obstinate.
He wanted to die with the mories of the illusion.
“Dad, why…”
Bending over the bed, Roland held Moda’s hand with an exceedingly complicated mood.
If possible, he really hoped his father could wake up to slap him once more, but the aged man before him could only murmur, repeating so fragnted words.
“So you’re just going to wait like this?
Wait for your father’s death?”
Just then, Roland heard a familiar voice behind him.
Accompanied by the sound of steady footsteps, Ian entered the room.
He lowered his gaze to his surprised head of engineering and said lightly, “Even if your father wants to die…
you don’t have to oblige his wish, do you?”
“If you truly were such a well-behaved child, then why did you still go against his will and proceed to Falling Star Hills when your father initially did not wish for you to leave Leyan Territory?”
“I…”
Ian’s words indeed pointed out Roland’s most difficult dilemma—the most bewildering part for him was that his father himself no longer wanted to live.
Roland’s dedicated efforts and achievents in his work were to help his father find the will to live again in this world.
But who could have known that just as he started to make accomplishnts, his father had already beco like this?
And even if extre asures were taken to revive his father, Moda would still eventually choose death soday.
Is this really okay?
“Stop thinking about these issues.”
As if he could see through Roland’s conflicted heart, Ian said with a faint smile, calmly, “As the Lord, I will make this choice for you.”
“Don’t worry whether your father will bla you in the future, or whether what you do is defiance of human relations or morality.
I will decide.”
Ian glanced sideways and said to Adalbert standing beside him, “Gu Ying.”
Adalbert nodded as well; he opened the box in his hands, took out a vial, and drew its contents into a syringe.
“You are all possessions of this Lord, belong to .
You are all my currency, don’t think you can just choose death on your own terms.”
Roland looked sowhat bewildered as Gu Ying approached his father with the syringe.
Instinctively, he understood that the Alchemical Potion in the syringe might save his father—and this was a decision made by the Lord himself, not against his father’s wishes.
He didn’t need to do anything, just watch from the side.
Ian clearly knew about his father’s condition long ago and had specifically prepared for it.
Yes.
His Lord was so clever and foresighted.
How could he possibly allow soone under his command to face such a difficult predicant?
Working under Ian was always so comfortable.
He would prepare everything for everyone.
As long as they followed his plans, everything would eventually et a good ending.
…
“Let do it, Lord.”
Rising to his feet, Roland stood in front of Gu Ying, and Adalbert turned to look at Ian.
Ian raised an eyebrow, he didn’t say much, just hinted, “Have you learned how to do a spinal injection?
Gu Ying is a Sublimator, he can deliver the potion with bare hands, but you can’t.”
