Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 255 " You just have to stand next to me , " Metis said without looking up , sliding silver needles into Sabine's skin . She didn't really need me to do anything , did she ? I laughed . " What ? Am I your lucky charm ? " " You bet everything on me , didn't you ? " Metis replied . Her voice was cool , yet carried a hint of coyness . " Do you want to win or not ? If you do , you'll stand where I say . I feel far more assured when you're next to me . " She was telling the truth .

She couldn't tell whether it was the pendant or simply her psychology , but Sebastian's presence alone seemed to ground her . " As you wish , Goddess of Medicine , " I said . It was time to watch her work . Unlike most doctors , Metis ' procedure felt like a performance .

The meticulous work made her sweat slightly . " Sebastian- " she called . I immediately wiped her forehead with a clean towel . She looked up in surprise and met my eyes . I grinned . " Hey , you don't need to be a doctor to know when someone wants their sweat wiped off . " " Thanks . " " No problem . " ... Metis turned away , but faint pink flushed her cool , composed cheeks . This was the first time a man had wiped her sweat . The intimacy was new . And , truth be told , she kind of enjoyed it . Meanwhile , Claire had been watching the entire time .

A hint of disappointment crossed her face . She didn't need Metis ' subtle favoritism to see that this young woman was drawn to Sebastian . Claire's instincts had sensed it long before the display began . She had been observing every glance , every hesitation , every subtle sign of care . ' Damn it . You're too popular , you know that ? ' she thought , her eyes lingering on Sebastian's handsome , angular face . Metis finished her preparation . She took a deep breath and produced an even longer needle from her bag . She murmured words I couldn't understand , like an incantation .

Her voice , calm and measured , carried a 1/2 Chapter 255 +25 Bonus strange rhythm that made the air tense . Then she drove the needle into Sabine's chest . The director's eyes widened . " Impossible ! Is this ... the long - lost Revarian technique , Persephone's Return ? " The investors , captivated by her performance , clamored for an explanation . " What's that ?! " one asked . " I'm not entirely sure , " the director said , " but I read about it in an ancient Revarian medical text .

It's said that Persephone's Return can trigger a complete rejuvenation of every organ in the human body and even extend a person's life ! " The air seemed to hum with anticipation , and I realized the audience wasn't just watching a medical procedure -they were witnessing something extraordinary .
