SWNOVELS Chapter 55
Teacher Astor told me his request. Not only were his words firm, but his eyes were also filled with seriousness. Just from his eyes, I knew how important this matter was for him. I gulped nervously before holding my fists tight. Then, I gave him a firm nod.
"Teacher, I assure you that I will never leave Blake. And I will never abandon the Sliver Pack... not unless Blake or the Silver Pack abandon me first..."
I did not know where my courage came from. But when I heard Astor's question, in my heart, I just knew the answer. And as I spoke, my heart never felt so firm and certain. Certain to my dedication to Blake as well as the Silver Pack. And I just knew... no matter what happened, I would stay beside them and fight for them. No matter what happened... no matter what it took.
In the following week, in addition to training with the betas, I also continued learning medical knowledge from Teacher Astor.
"I can't believe this..." Carrie, who was looking over my shoulder as I treated one of the members, exclaimed. "It's just two weeks! How are you able to help Teacher Astor treat diseases..." She added with a tone of disbelief.
I heard Carrie's words and continued to apply the medication on the leg of the patient. Beside me Teacher Astor was observing carefully how I diagnose and treat him. It was only after I finished applying the medication did I look at Carrie who had an excited look on her face.
"What? This is just normal isn't it?" I teased her. But instead of feeling teased, Carrie looked at me with wide eyes and said with a little frustration, "No way! Can't you see how everyone is jealous of you?!"
I paused for a bit upon hearing her words. 'Is that really the case?" I thought as I finished bandaging
the wound of the person I was treating.
Indeed, from the time Teacher Astor started teaching me, I already made rapid progress. And each day, as I continued to learn, I found that being a doctor was really a great profession, and I fell in love with it from the bottom of my heart.
"You are so talented! Everyone agrees about this!" Carrie continued to praise me.
"You know... I tried learning medical knowledge from Teacher Astor... but he did not let me! He did not give me a chance!" Carrie put a pretend pout on her lips and looked at Teacher Astor as if she was in grievance.
Teacher Astor, who was supervising me from the side, saw through her playfulness and replied, "Being a doctor requires a lot of responsibility." Carrie pouted even more upon hearing it. "Moreover, it is very tiring," Teacher Astor added. Though his voice was cold, I knew that he was trying to comfort Carrie. "You don't like tiring things, did you not?"
"Well..." Carrie answered with a sigh. "You know me well, Teacher Astor," she added before smiling. I watched the interaction between the two and also could not help but smile. It seemed that although from a first glance, their relationship was a little stiff, in fact, they were very close to each other.
I was looking at Carrie who had a content little smile on her lips and was chuckling, not realizing that Teacher Astor was looking at me.
It was only after a while when I felt his gaze. I turned around and met Teacher Astor's firm eyes, making me freeze a little bit.
Then, to my surprise, he told me, "Chloe, you are very talented. I hope that you can persevere.”
It was not only me, but Carrie, who was standing beside me, had an incredulous look on her face. It seemed that it was also her first time hearing Teacher Astor praise someone.
My heart felt very warm. Gripping my fists tight, I gave my teacher a firm nod.
"Yes, teacher. I definitely will," I promised.
Carrie sighed before saying, "This is a good thing for both you and the Silver Pack.” Then, she chuckled once more.
"Oh but there is another good thing..."
"My brother.. Blake is coming back.
My eyes instantly widened. It was only then when I realized that indeed, Blake had already been away for twenty days.
'l was so busy... I didn't realize that much time had already passed..." I thought before a big smile bloomed on my face,
The next day, I woke up very early to prepare meals to welcome Blake. When I saw Blake entering the room, I felt very excited. Not only did I missed Blake so much, I was also excited because he told me that he found a way to detoxify Aurora. When Blake saw me. a smile likewise appeared on his lips.
"Chloe," he called my name before pulling me into a tight hug. My heart started pounding hard in my chest. I felt a little embarrassed being this close to Blake, but I missed him so much that I did not let go. Seeing us hug each other, the other quietly left the room.
"How are you? How was your training with Astor?" Blake softly asked. Hearing his question, I again felt very excited
"It was great!" I happily told him. "I had some improvements... I even managed to punch a beta straight on his face during the spar!” My eyes twinkled as I told him.
Blake's smile widened as he replied, "Really? That's very good." His proud voice made me even more happy and excited.
"That's not all,” I started to brag. "I also got to study medical knowledge from Teacher Astor," I said proudly.
A surprised look appeared on Blake's face. "You were studying medical knowldge?"
"That's really great. Chloe, you did so well," Blake praised me while patting my head as I continuously smiled proudly.
After a few minutes of talking about my training, I finally sheepishly asked, "Blake... about... that things you told me..."
"You learned how to detoxify Aurora?" I asked with a small voice.
Blake heard my question and his smile faded. He paused for a while, and it was only after a few seconds when he replied, "Yes. I found the antidote to cure Aurora of the poison.”
I blinked once before I started feeling very excited. "Ah.... you really found a cure!" I felt very relieved. Finally... Finally Aurora would be cured. Finally... I would be able to meet her.
Blake watched my excitement and sighed a little. Then, a small smile appeared on his face. "I have found the way, but we have to wait until the full moon before I could tell you the process,” he told me.
"Ah? Is that so?" I said before realizing how childlike I was acting. I rubbed my ears, feeling a little embarrassed.
"That's right. And also," Blake looked at me straight in the eyes and continued. "Before that, there is still one more thing that I have to do.”
I furrowed my brows upon hearing his firm words. "One more thing you have to do?" I asked with curiosity. However, instead of telling me the answer, Blake just looked at me and did not say anything except giving me a smile.
