Chapter 152

Penulis: Edelweiss W.S.
As for the soulmate who could turn the pendant red, he had never appeared.

Years passed, and Metis forgot all about it. She accepted this as her life—a life devoted entirely to the study of Revarian medicine. She existed to serve. Then, a fire erupted, and she came perilously close to death.

As the flames threatened to consume her, Metis realized she harbored one regret—she wished she had a protege to pass her knowledge to.

At that moment, a towering figure crashed through the walls. Light seemed to shine upon him, bright and unstoppable.

A deep, commanding voice filled her ears. "Don't be afraid. I'm getting you out!"

Before she could react, Sebastian scooped her into his arms. In that instant, the flames seemed powerless to touch her.

In a flash, they were outside. She was safe.

Breathing in the fresh air and watching the inferno from a distance, Metis felt as if she were still dreaming. The man set her down gently. She opened her mouth to thank him, but he was already gone, s

    "Hey, it's me, Mila!""Mila? What's up?" Hera's voice sounded weary.Ever since her relationship with Sebastian fell apart, Hera had felt drained, her motivation and energy for almost everything slipping away."I ran into Sebastian today. Do you know what happened? He cost me my job, and I got slapped by my boss! We need to talk in person!" Mila snarled."He made your boss fire you? Ha. I knew it. You've gotten way too big for your britches now, huh…" Hera muttered under her breath. "It's my fault. We've been married five years, and I never realized how talented you are…""What the hell are you saying, Hera? Did you hear yourself?!" Mila's anger spiked. "Him? Talented? My ass. I don't believe it! No, wait. Let's save this for our meeting. I'll tell you everything then!"The call ended. Mila had practically browbeaten Hera into agreeing to meet her at a cafe.-The first thing Hera noticed about her best friend was the absence of makeup. Mila wore a face mask, but Hera could see

    "Did I just accidentally make myself sound like I have too much time on my hands when I said I'll always have time for him? What kind of physician does that make me sound like? Oh no… Why didn't you teach me how to talk to men, Master?!"Metis was nothing like her usual self. One moment she groaned over her perceived failure, the next she giggled to herself, savoring every detail of her interaction with Sebastian.A thought suddenly sprang into her mind. "Wait! The fight between Sebastian and Terry… It started because of a woman, right?"Sebastian had warned Terry not to bother some woman when he forgave him. But who could that woman be?Gloom shadowed her face. "Don't tell me… he already has someone he likes! What am I going to do?"Metis was no longer the aloof, ethereal goddess. She was just a normal girl lamenting the possibility of never being with her crush.Suddenly, someone called for her. "Hello? Is the clinic open?""Yes, it is!" Metis called from her room. She shook h

    The pendant began to get warm. It felt exactly like it had five years ago.This was it—confirmation.-"Oh, Sebastian…""Er, what are you mumbling about?" I asked.Metis' expression shifted like a kaleidoscope, and a flicker of worry crept in. I had only been joking. I did not expect her to linger on it this long.Unless she was serious? But she carried the aloof aura of an elven princess, the kind who could command even a powerful elder to step back. How could someone like her take a joke seriously?She snapped out of her trance and avoided my gaze. "Nothing. I'm fine. I was thinking… After you're divorced, can you promise me one thing?""Yes? You're not actually thinking about marrying me, right?" I asked.Her shy demeanor made me swallow hard. If she did suggest marriage, I honestly would not see why not. Hera was an ex now. But what about Rhea?Luckily, Metis blushed and protested, "Excuse you! Dream on! It's not like I want to marry you or anything! I just… want to give

    Her practice was soon rebuilt, and Metis buried every thought and feeling she had for Sebastian deep in her heart. Time healed all wounds, and in her case, it eased her sadness.Five years passed.Metis' skills as a Revarian physician had become renowned in Astergrad. Every elite member knew her as the Goddess of Medicine incarnate, capable of curing any disease.From then on, people offered obscene sums of money or desperately tried to woo her into partnership. None of it interested her. She waited for her true soulmate to come to her clinic.He never came. It was as if he had vanished from her life.Metis finally understood her mentor's words. Humans were sentimental creatures. They could not always control their hearts with reason and logic. She had once believed her only passion would be medicine and that she would never care for men.Everything changed after meeting Sebastian. He had shattered her principles. No matter how deeply she had buried him in her mind, she had misse

    The tension between us had loosened, at least slightly.I waited until Metis' laughter subsided and asked again, "How much do I owe you for your treatment? What would you like as payment?"Metis' smile vanished. She fixed me with a sharp glare. "Is that all there is between us, Sebastian? Money?""Wait, that sounds wrong!" I protested.Why did she make it feel like we had just spent the night together, and this was the awkward morning after?She seized my collar and pulled me close, her face hovering near mine. "Does it? Because this is exactly my point!"She stood on her toes, her lips nearly brushing against mine. "My treatment is priceless! It cannot be measured in money!"Her closeness had been building for a while, and I realized my heart was racing faster than I could control."Then what am I supposed to do? Should I… propose marriage?" I asked cautiously.Metis froze. Her cheeks deepened in color as she released me and stepped back. "I don't want you as a husband! A man
