Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Metis cast a quick glance at Claire as they walked . ' What's the nature of their relationship ? ' She wanted so badly to ask , but in the end , she did not . By the afternoon , Sabine's examination report arrived . She was doing even better than everyone had expected . Her heart no longer showed any sign of deterioration . With Metis ' post - surgical integrative treatment plan , Sabine would regain her vitality in no time . Before returning to her clinic to prepare herbal formulas for the elderly woman , Metis gave Claire several instructions .

Since she would be away for a long stretch , she prepared two months ' worth of medicine . Back at the hospital , Metis was about to enter when she heard the answer to the question that had been weighing on her mind . Sabine was up ! And the first thing she said was , " Oh , Cici , I think I just went to take a stroll in the heavenly garden a little too long . I don't even know if I could ever find my way back here the next time ! So ... when is the wedding between you and dear Sebastian ? " Metis froze . ' Wedding ? With Sebastian ? ' Her true love and soulmate was getting married again ?

And the bride was not her again ? Metis ' eyes reddened . Sebastian had barely cleared up the problems from his last marriage , and now he was already on his second one ? Did he even care about responsibility , about clearing up his mess , about the feelings of his would - be partner ? Or had he always just been a stupid playboy ? A tear rolled down Metis ' cheek . " Soulmate ... Fated love ... There was never any such thing as that ! " She left the medicine outside the door and turned away . She left so quickly that she missed Claire's replies .

Claire's heart was willing , yet her mind hesitated . For some reason , she thought of Metis . She remembered the way Sebastian had looked as he took care of her in the ER . He was so annoyingly popular that Claire could not be certain he would ever be hers . " Grandma , Sebastian knows this medical genius of a doctor . She's the one who saved your life , and now she's going to prepare a treatment plan that will nurse you back to health, " Claire said . Then , she added gingerly , " Please ... don't talk about the wedding like it's definitely going to be a thing , Grandma .

Sebastian and I are hardly there yet . Sabine frowned . " Well , tough luck , because he's the only grandson - in - law I'll ever acknowledge ! He's such a good boy , Cici . You should not let him slip away from you ! " " I get it , Grandma ... " Metis was now in the parking lot . The pendant she wore seemed to be rumbling on its own . This time , she yanked it off and shoved it into her pocket . " It's all a lie , Master . If we really were fated to be , why have I missed him twice ?! " she murmured angrily . " If we really are meant to be together ... then we will meet again , won't we ?

" She gritted her teeth . The medical competition she was about to join was open to all styles of medicine and practices . There were so many gauntlets that she could very well stay there for as long as she needed . " You played games with my heart ! You ... You fiend ! I've never fallen in love with you ! It was all this pendant's terrible matchmaking skill ! " she snarled . " Unless ... Unless ... I fall in love with you without wearing this pendant the next time ... " Metis seemed both upset and , strangely , excited .

I was standing at the entrance of the courthouse when I suddenly sneezed . Frowning , I looked at my phone . " Where the hell is that bitch this time ? " I muttered .
