�Don�t say that, son. This is all just temporary. It�s not like you�ve lost your mind or lost a limb. There�s still hope. As long as you cooperate with Layla�s treatment plans, you�ll get better��

�Haha, get better?� Stefan chuckled bitterly. �My eyes were permanently damaged. I won�t get better. Just face it already, don�t try to comfort yourself with lies.�

�Why won�t you listen? I told you that Layla is a skillful medic. Her father is the famous Karter Bridges too! Do you know who he is? He�s the only outer disciple of the mysterious Albus Order leader. Do you know how prestigious the Albus Order is in the medical field? They�re��

�Don�t know, don�t care.� Stefan immediately interrupted.

From his point of view, Francine was basically panicking and looking for any type of remedy to cure him. It was simply madness�

Francine ignored his hostility and continued introducing the order in detail.

�The Albus Order is very mysterious. We don�t even know who their leader is. However, they are known as the miracle of the medical field. Especially the �Bloodletting and Bone Fumigation Therapy� they have invented. I�m not even exaggerating when I say they could revive the dead with that��

�People say that no matter how sick someone is, they can fully recover within ten days after receiving treatment from the Albus Order leader. If we can somehow contact them through Layla, we might be able to even cure your hemophobia, let alone your eyes!�

Francine then sighed deeply, wiping her tears away silently. �Honestly, I�d rest in peace knowing that you�ve recovered from your condition. I wouldn�t have any regrets if I dropped dead right then.�

Initially, Stefan wasn�t quite paying attention to anything his mother said, but hearing the words

�Bloodletting and Bone Fumigation Therapy� piqued his interest.

�I�ve only heard of Scraping Therapy, not Bloodletting and Bone Fumigation. Putting everything else aside, this Albus Order leader is pretty extreme. Are they intending to draw all of the patient�s blood?�

�Who knows? See, you�re getting curious, too, aren�t you? Since we can�t think of any other way either, why don�t we look for that expert and give it a try? Anything is better than doing nothing, right? What do you think?�

�If you can really find this miracle doctor, I�ll give it a try.� Stefan seemed to be less rigid now.

At the start, he only wanted to lock himself away from the world, refusing any medical treatment. Hence, it was quite a hard journey for him to open up to the idea of trying.

Little did they know that he was only willing to try this because he figured that he might die from receiving such extreme treatment, not because he wanted to recover from his condition.

He couldn�t possibly commit suicide in his current situation. He didn�t want to seem like a coward and didn�t wish for the living to mourn over his death for eternity. Moreover, dying from an �accident� did make him feel less guilty for making this final decision.

To him, this miracle doctor�s supposed treatment sounded as ridiculous as spirit possession. Thus, it was a suitable method for him to pass away without any regrets or guilt.

Francine naturally didn�t know that Stefan had such plans, thinking her son was finally coming out of his darkness. She was so overjoyed that tears flooded her eyes. �This is great. You�ve finally come around, Stef! Don�t worry, I�ll find whoever that leader is even if I have to dig through the Earth�s crust��

�Besides, we can�t stay in such a passive state. I received news that your second uncle and your cunning cousin are making moves again.� JrNovels.com
