Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 297 Traffic was smooth today , and I reached my parents ' dilapidated home in no time . The sight of the house brought back memories . My parents had mortgaged it years ago to pay for my marriage to Hera without a second thought . Yet that woman hadn't visited them once in more than five years . Now she had the gall to hold on to the deed instead of returning it their son . What a bitch . " Is that you , Sebastian ? " my neighbor called . " Hello , Mrs. Black , " I greeted . " Ian , my dear , look how much you've grown ! I almost didn't recognize you . Where's your wife ?

Isn't she with you ? " " No. She's busy with work , " I lied , then quickly changed the subject . " Are my parents away right now ? I knocked , but no one answered . " " Oh , they've gone out . They always attend this talk hosted by a professor from a prestigious university around this time . Anyone who goes even gets fresh eggs to bring home ! " That professor is a whiz . He invented a high - tech water purifier machine . They say if you vibrate your drinking water through it , the result can cure every ailment you'll ever know! " What the hell ?

That sounded like a scam if I'd ever heard one . I frowned , worried my parents had already fallen for it . " Do you know where the talk is held ? I'm going to get them . " " Yes ! Just three streets from here , in a shop by the roadside . " It took me less than ten minutes to reach the shop . A crowd of senior citizens was already gathered at the entrance . " The water is really miraculous ! I just wish I had the money for the Water Vibro . Fifteen thousand bucks isn't something I've got in savings! " " The Grimwald couple already bought one , didn't they ?

They're paying by monthly installment too - with interest , I think ? I honestly don't understand much of what was written in that contract . They brought the machine back today , asking for a refund . The professor led them into his office , and ... they haven't come out since . " I frowned again . The worst had already happened . My parents had been conned . " Fifteen grand for a machine that doesn't even work , and making them pay in installments with interest ? Looks like we're dealing with a jackass , " I sneered and marched toward the office . I shoved the door open with a bang .

The people inside jumped and turned . My parents ' faces lit up when they saw me . " You're home , Ian ! " " I found the time to come back , so here I am . " I grinned at them before scanning the room skeptically . Another elderly couple stood beside my parents . In the middle of the room sat a polite - looking middle - aged man in a white coat . " So , Betsy introduced us to the Water Vibro the other day . She said it could cure all kinds of sickness , you see ? But then we tried it for two days , and nothing improved . So we were trying to get a round , " my mother explained hesitantly .
