Bab 91: Decision

"As for helping Rong Li, I will consider it. Not because of your plea or Elder Kula's coercion, but because I am a medical practitioner. You can leave. No need to come back in the future."

Without another word, she turned and went back to her Master's work cabin.

Teng Wang stood frozen in place.

He could not describe his feelings. The lingering feelings he held for the girl hadn't disappeared over the years. They had on the contrary, actually taken root in the deepest part of his heart.

But in front of her, he realized that he didn't even amount to anything. He didn't even possess the qualification to protect her.

He should be happy that she was considering in helping Rong Li. After all, with her help, the possibility of him recovering was higher. However, he wasn't able to find it within himself to feel joyful. 

With a bitter smile on his face, Teng Wang took one last glance in the direction she disappeared, and left.
