Alaric added, "I didn't think there was any holy medicine left that could heal Stella's scars." He hadn't expected Calum to still have one in reserve. Silas had finally encountered something he couldn't refuse. Alaric turned to Emma, his tone earnest. "No matter what, I'm really grateful to Marshal Calum for retrieving this medicine for me." Emma remembered Stella telling her she had tried countless treatments, even consuming the Beast God's fruit from Beast God Mountain, but nothing had worked. So Alaric had even gone as far as asking the Beast God for help. If the Beast God couldn't heal Stella's face, then clearly, the Beast God wasn't omnipotent. "Mr. Wynn, don't worry about it. Stella is my friend—I'm glad to assist her," Calum said. There was no certainty that Calum's medicine would even work on Stella.Soon, Calum returned. He approached Silas and retrieved a sleek, high-tech box from his storage band. "The medicine is in here," he said. Silas took it and passed it to Alaric. "I hope this restores your sister's face," he said. "Thank you," Alaric replied, accepting the box and opening it in front of everyone. When he saw the vial inside, he looked at Emma, his excitement evident. "This is the one. Emma, thank you so much." He carefully put the medicine away and turned to Silas. "You're leaving tomorrow, right? I'll treat Stella today, and then I'll go back to the Central Planet with you." Worried Silas might refuse, Alaric quickly added, "Emma still relies on me to maintain her body, and Prince Lucien might need adjustments to his healing potions anytime." Silas knew Alaric was overthinking.Even without asking, Silas would have invited him to return to the Central Planet. Having a top private doctor like Alaric was far too valuable to leave behind, and since they had already given him the holy medicine, it made perfect sense to make full use of his skills. "Then I'll trouble you on the way back to the Central Planet, Mr. Wynn," Silas said. After that, he had Edric escort Alaric out. Once Alaric left, Emma tugged on Silas' hand, her brow furrowed in confusion. "Why did you agree so quickly to let Alaric return to the Central Planet with us?" She couldn't believe Silas hadn't noticed Alaric's feelings for her. Silas sat on the edge of the bed, smiling softly at her. "I'm aware of how he feels about you. But his medical expertise is invaluable. We didn't bring a doctor, and the local ones aren't very capable. Having Alaric care for you and Lucien on the way back adds an extra layer of security." He squeezed her hand gently. "Emy, what Alaric feels doesn't matter. If you don't want it, I'll make sure he never gets a chance to confess his feelings to you. Right now, you and the cub you're carrying are my priority." Emma completely trusted Silas' judgment. If he said Alaric wouldn't get an opportunity, then he truly wouldn't. "It's just..." Emma hesitated, pressing her lips together. "Isn't this a bit... unfair?" "Ms. Tibarn, nothing unfair about it," Calum said. "I risked my life to retrieve the holy medicine from the Chitinid. Giving it to him for free—he's the one getting the better end of the deal." Silas lowered his gaze. "Marshal Calum has a point." Emma blinked, then relaxed. Well, if that's how it is, it's fine. She looked at Calum and reached out to hold his hand. "Calum, thank you." Emma took the initiative, linking her fingers with his. Calum glanced at her, his ears tinged with red. "Ms. Tibarn, helping you is only natural. If you thank me, it makes us sound distant." "Then I won't," she said, pulling her hand away and curling a finger toward him. Calum had just felt a pang of disappointment when she released his hand. Seeing her gesture, he immediately leaned closer. "Ms. Tibarn, are—" Before he could finish, something warm and soft brushed against his cheek. Calum froze. Ms. Tibarn kissed me? He stared at her, utterly stunned. Emma quickly looked away, avoiding his gaze. Kissing him in front of so many people was already pushing her limits. Seeing the blush rising on her ears, Calum couldn't help but grin. From the side, Corvin muttered, "Marshal, stop grinning. You look ridiculous." Calum was speechless. Does he ever think before he speaks?Emma stifled a laugh, turning her head away from him, afraid she'd ruin the moment by bursting out laughing. When Edric returned after escorting Alaric out, he paused, noticing the quiet room. He looked around, puzzled. "Where's Prince Lucien? I haven't seen him." "Oh, Lucien's still in the bathroom," Emma recalled. He had used his ability to block out sound, and she had almost forgotten about him. "Do you think he passed out from vomiting?" she asked anxiously, swinging her legs off the bed.
