Lucian the Healer

Chapter 8

Lily's POV

"Did I tell you how much I've missed you?" I asked.

We were sitting in the sitting room after I finished eating.

"I missed you too," he said.

"I doubt it," I said.

"What makes you doubt it?" he asked.

"You didn't come earlier."

"I know and I'm sorry."

I nodded my head. He apologized.

"Never doubt my love for you," he said, tucking my hair behind my ears.

"Okay and thanks," I said smiling.

"I wish I could see your face, and I tell you that you're the most good looking guy I've seen."

"Really?"

"Yes Lucian, you're really cute."

"Thank you, do you know what?"

"What?" I asked.

"You're the most beautiful lady I have ever set my eyes on." he said.

"Wow! Really?"

"Yes, pretty," he said.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome," he said.

"So what did the doctor say?" he asked.

I told him and he didn't speak for long —

"I want to help you," he said.

"How Lucian?"

"I could heal you."

"But you're gonna take the blindness," I said.

"I'm not sure about that, but I can give it a try," he said.

"It's too risky Lucian... I don't want you getting into trouble because of me."

"I want to do it, I can't stand seeing you like this, my heart is bleeding," he said.

I was touched, I smiled at him.

"And you don't feel pains in your eyes, right?" he asked.

"Nope," I answered.

"Then there will be no way for me to absorb the blindness, I only absorb pain," he said.

"You have to talk to dad first," I said.

"I will explain it to him," he replied.

"I'm still not sure of this, Lucian," I said.

"Give me a chance, Lily. I want to help — I'm confident about this."

"Okay... If Dad agrees to it, we'll do it," I said.

"Thanks — I'm sure it will be safe for both of us," he said.

"I hope so," I whispered.

He placed my head on his shoulder and I rested comfortably on him.
