Semua Bab Goodbye, Saintess.: Bab 151 - Bab 160

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

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

"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

I looked out of my office and noticed a dozen of my employees were gone. When I checked our group chat, I realized they had all stepped out to reconnect with old contacts and secure a contract.Suddenly, I felt like I had the least work of anyone, despite being the CEO. I decided to use the time to visit Baron in the hospital.He had done so much to protect me today. To me, he was already a friend.-By the time I reached the hospital, dusk had settled. In the VIP ward, a woman in her sixties or seventies watched him sleep. She rose quickly, startled."Who are you?" she asked."Good evening, ma'am. I'm Sebastian Grimwald. I came to check on him," I said, showing the fruit basket and supplements I had brought.The woman's eyes widened, and she smiled. "Oh, so you're Sebastian. My son has spoken of you often. Pleased to finally meet you, young man. I'm Evanna, Baron's mother. Just call me Evanna."I should have guessed it. Baron was only in his forties. His mother would be around

"You disgust me, Sebastian! Just seeing you makes me want to hurl and spit. She's old enough to be your grandmother, for crying out loud! What the hell is wrong with you? Are you so obsessed with vanity and power that you'd do anything for them? Or am I that inadequate in bed for you?"Her hysterics only confirmed what I already knew—Hera was utterly unhinged."So let me get this straight… You think I reached where I am today because I hooked up with a rich old woman?" I asked.She scoffed. "Why else would you be in this position?! I'm… I don't even know how to describe how embarrassed I am for you. How childish are you to be so seduced by vanity that you'd do this?"If it weren't for her, a firefighter like you couldn't possibly become a business genius overnight! Who'd believe that? No one! It's illogical, impossible—completely unreal!"I found out, Sebastian. Baron Inc. sent notice that you were just an actor they hired for the forum. It was all scripted, wasn't it? He was humo
