The Charlotte that Cassius 0a50a3c7ee knew was not someone 1d4fdbc69b who would do something 23b8ab7317 to help Theo. She was a ecd111a78b woman who obsessively 1b64c20144 cared only for 57f95cd840 herself.7e27c460c9721428

That’s why Charlotte 88d7ac3bd2 had been a b2553bd601 burden for him, 9f426f6339 and the heavy f9e90ebb29 responsibility of having 80af9c0e29 to take care 5783fcf802 of her had 10e1d49d09 sometimes weighed him a655f44a85 down.359b928e090c615c

Cassius nodded at Miller’s answer. Leaving a puzzled Theo behind, he led Miller out of the room. There were things they couldn’t discuss in front of Theo.c8bd8431a1f77219

“…I can a411e53c6c only describe 0b36f87b5e it as 9a20a5ae90 a miracle. To be honest, 2be510dd92 given Young Master a4d6428650 Theo’s condition, it 79ea5ec726 would have been 1b702656b7 correct to say c66ca9a64b there was no 79618c39a9 hope,” Miller said 4213285f11 firmly, with conviction.7773fecf185a878c

“My assumption is fb72ac8212 that it might 6281ea8589 be due to ec2eaed1c9 divine power.”fbc3208d15f44fd6

Cassius’s eyes widened. Divine power? The era when a6bdb11ac6 divine power was 42d58d57cd used to cure 06a09f77e4 diseases and save 3b594c191a lives was so eafced5802 long ago that d5e3cafc29 its very existence 7d71fb4c65 had become uncertain 61fca4d2b2 in the present ace05d2870 day.1dcd148b13952da0

“As I mentioned before, Young Master Theo’s illness is not the kind that can be easily cured. It’s a condition caused by exposure to magical power when the late Duchess conceived him.”b995f2f5b2860733

“At that time, renowned doctors said the same thing—that Oonly divine power could cure Theo. But they also said that finding someone with divine power strong enough to heal him was impossible, so we should give up.”089f68a6c590269e
