Chapter 665 Observation
"And what does someone like that want with us?" Viktoria exclaimed.
"I don't know."
After these words from Lothur, the sound of someone knocking on the gate of their house reached her ears, and Viktoria looked in the direction of where that man was.
After sighing deeply, she clenched her fists and went towards that man to answer him.
"Good morning, Miss Viktoria Frost," Helmut said right after she opened the gate for him. "How are you? I heard that your sister awakened from her condition yesterday... Is that true?"
"Morning," Viktoria said, controlling her dislike so as not to draw this man's attention.
Lothur could deal with him, but it would be better not to force her husband to act.
Then she said. "Yes, fortunately, Annaliese woke up yesterday shortly after you left."
"Then that must not have been the doctor's thing the other Miss said, right? Are you still determined to wait, or will you accompany me with your mother to my master?" He asked, feeling that he still had a chance of getting Mabel to Lenz.
But Viktoria would let him down. "The doctor my friend said yesterday arrived early. He came by in the middle of the night and already medicated my mother.
In a few more days, she will wake up."
"Uh? Is that true?" His eyes narrowed as he didn't believe any of it.
He had spent the entire night watching this place. How could a doctor have walked by in the middle of the night?
"Can the Miss tell me what his diagnosis was? Since he resolved her situation, I am curious to learn about what I can still not treat."
Viktoria said, somewhat saddened. "My mother had part of her spiritual nerves broken... So she will be left with sequelae for the rest of her life.
But at least the other damage to her body is not fatal, and after medication, she is no longer in danger."
Upon hearing this, Helmut almost jumped backward, for this was indeed the problem he had identified in Mabel.
'A doctor really was here! But how? I was watching the area the whole time since my departure yesterday.'
"So that's it... It really is a pity. I'm afraid even 4-star doctors can't fix this. I'm sorry for you." He said, sighing.
He was sorry that his masters' daughter had suffered from this, but since she was no longer in danger, he could leave without further worries.
He sincerely wanted to take her back to the Rios family, for only that family could seek something to try to save Mabel's spiritual nerves. But since she was no longer in danger and Viktoria would not allow him to take Mabel easily, he would first prefer to communicate with his leaders.
"So that's it... Well, since I am no longer useful, I bid you farewell. But congratulations on your advancement. Your mother will be proud when she awakens."
"Hmm, goodbye."
With those words, both sides went in different directions, with Viktoria even more curious than earlier, as that man had not insisted, even with his hidden intentions.
'What did he want?'
Meanwhile, Lothur was watching in the direction of that man, but he soon moved out of his reach as he left Peters City.
'Could it be someone from her hometown? I heard she came from a powerful family from a state stronger than the empire...' He wondered as he continued working on the Gold-grade item in his hands.
'Sigh... It doesn't matter. He can't do anything against me."
...
Later that morning...
After leaving Peters City, Helmut immediately picked up a high-level communicator and initiated a call with his leaders.
This communicator only worked for a few seconds, and the call cost was very high for both the one initiating the call and the one who would answer.
But it could keep in touch with people as far away as a few thousand kilometers.
Helmut sat down on a rock and watched the green communicator in his hand while the formation there made noises as if gears were inside that crystal.
After a few moments...
"Helmut, what's up?" A female voice came from that item.
"Ma'am, Mabel is out of danger. Viktoria somehow managed to find someone capable of helping her."
"Oh? That's not bad. Then return here." Mabel's mother said.
But then Helmut explained. "Ma'am, the way Viktoria got help was very strange. I would like to investigate further. In addition, Mabel had some broken spiritual nerves.
Do you wish to do something more about her?"
Hearing that, Mabel's mother clenched her fists and was silent for a second.
Then she said. "That's a shame to hear. I'll see what I can do here, but for now, leave her there. Until I get something, it wouldn't make any difference to take her away from her daughters.
However, you can investigate the situation further. I expect your return in a few more days."
"OK."
...
In the blink of an eye, two days passed without trouble reaching Lothur's group.
His people were moving around the empire seeking partnerships with leaders of the major cities in the other provinces while he and his women quietly lived in Peters City.
Due to the activities and training of Lothur and his women, Annaliese and Elke raised their body cultivation, one reaching level 16 and the other 15.
Meanwhile, Mabel's treatment had developed well in those days, with Lothur having prepared the last pills and potions she needed after Viktoria finished gathering all the ingredients he had listed.
After undergoing these medications over these two days, Mabel's condition was much better, with almost all the wounds on her body having recovered.
The only thing that had not yet improved and would continue to do so were her spiritual nerves, which Lothur could not fix.
Anyway, after Annaliese had given her mother her first round of medication this morning, she remained in that room watching Mabel, hoping to see her awaken.
Mabel's eyes were moving from side to side while the fingers of her hands were moving.
Her breathing became slightly more elevated, making Annaliese feel the anticipation as she approached the bed where Mabel was.
Then Mabel's eyelids pressed down a little harder before she suddenly opened her eyes.
"Aiken..." She opened her mouth and mumbled before she started repeatedly blinking as her eyes got used to the brightness of that room.
"Mom..."
