Everyone Tames Beasts: I End Up Taming Diseases - Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Waiting for You for Two Years

Alice shook her head and said slowly, “What did you say to that guy just now? If you loved me, you wouldn’t have done this. At the very least, you would have listened to my opinion on this matter!”

Masefield knew that the smart Alice already noticed that he had intended to matchmake them just now.

Masefield knew Alice didn’t like this. In fact, she hated the feeling of being controlled and arranged. However, there was nothing Masefield could do anymore.

As the Duke, he had great power, but as a father, he had to admit his incompetence.

“Alice, I know that you don’t like what I’m doing, but I have to think about your future. In the future, you will understand,” said Duke Masefield softly. Then, he turned around and left.

Alice watched as her father left and said angrily, “So I have to marry a man I don’t like?”

Masefield paused briefly at the sound of his daughter’s voice. Then, he hastened away.

Alice’s heart was instantly filled with sorrow. Then, a resolute gaze suddenly appeared in her blue eyes that were clouded in tears.

She looked up at the free-flying birds in the sky and muttered to herself, “Adrian, I can only wait two years for you. If you don’t come, I’ll have to marry someone else.”

…

At the same time, in front of a small house in Syr Town…

Richard and the girl he liked were looking at each other after they had embraced and kissed.

After a while, Nina said softly with tears streaming down her face, “Do you understand my feelings now? Do you still think that my feelings for you are fake?”

Richard could feel the scorching warmth from her lips. He seemed to have made up his mind as he said in a serious manner, “Nina, I don’t want you to marry anyone else. If you like me, I can take you away from here, and we can live in another city together!”

Nina was clearly tempted by his words. However, in the end, she slowly shook her head and cried, “I can’t abandon my father. Those debt collectors will kill my father.”

“If you are still worried about your father, then I can take him with me!” Richard gritted his teeth as he said firmly, “I can find a job to support all of you! I can do all kinds of jobs, be it cooking or hunting spiritual beasts in the Spiritual Beast Forest!”

However, Nina still refused. Her gaze was firm as she said, “Richard, I can’t drag you down! Please leave this place as soon as possible. Don’t let my fiancé see you, or he’ll definitely be angry.”

Richard grabbed Nina’s soft hands tightly and suddenly asked, “Nina, how much money does your father owe in total?”

“Three hundred Silver Coins,” Nina answered automatically, not knowing why Richard was asking.

“As long as you make up for this debt, your house won’t be mortgaged and you won’t have to marry that man, right?” Richard asked quickly.

Only then did Nina understand what Richard meant. “Richard, I don’t care what you’re planning to do by asking this, but I just hope you don’t try to help us pay off our debts. After all, my father is a crazy gambler. He’s completely hopeless.”

Richard hesitated for a moment. Then, he suddenly summoned the courage to plant a soft kiss on Nina’s forehead. “I love you, Nina,” he whispered. “I swear I’ll come back for you.”

With that, Richard, who had made his decision, simply turned and left, heading in the direction of Adrian and Charles.

Nina looked at Richard with eyes full of sorrow. Her hands clutched her handkerchief, her eyes downcast as she walked back into the house.

Adrian looked at Richard as he walked over and asked softly, “Are you going to help pay off that girl’s family debt?”

“That’s right.” Richard nodded with a serious expression and said, “I like her, and I definitely won’t let her get married. Thus, I want to help her pay off her debt.”

Charles scolded angrily, “Richard, are you an idiot? That’s 300 Silver Coins! I really want to advise you to put away your pitiful kindness before that lady promises anything!”

Adrian looked at Charles speechlessly. This guy was usually stupid, but he was unexpectedly smart and rational in this matter.

Thus, Adrian couldn’t help but advise, “Charles’ words may sound harsh, but they do make sense. After all, 300 Silver Coins isn’t a small sum.”

“With your current income, if you want to earn this amount of money, even if you don’t eat or drink, it will take you several years.”

“However, by that time, that lady would have already been married.”

“Thus, for now, if you really like that lady, what you should do now is to think of a way to bring her out of this place. Then, run to a place without any disputes and lead a good life there.”

Adrian knew that Richard was a good man. Thus, he was seriously considering the options for him.

Richard shook his head vigorously and said stubbornly, “She’s the first girl I like, and she’ll definitely be the last, so I can’t lose her! She’ll marry someone else in two months, which means I only have two months left. I have to earn 300 Silver Coins!”

“So you don’t have to try to talk me out of it, Mr. Adrian. After all, if you and the Duchess were in trouble, would you let her go so easily?”

“You won’t, right? You’ll definitely try your best to be with her, no matter what price you have to pay,” said Richard softly.

This question immediately caused Adrian, who wanted to continue persuading Richard, to dispel this thought.

He considered this seriously and realized that he would indeed do as Richard had said.

From a certain perspective, the two of them were really similar.

However, Charles couldn’t understand what Richard meant at all as he had never felt love before. Thus, he gently pulled Adrian aside and said in a low voice, “Adrian, let’s ignore this crazy guy. He definitely won’t be able to earn 300 Silver Coins in two months. This is definitely the craziest idea in the world!”

However, Adrian shook his head. He looked at Richard and asked, “How do you plan to earn 300 Silver Coins in two months?”

“I know that there is a highly profitable but extremely dangerous job. I plan to help people escort the transportation of their goods!” Richard’s tone was firm.

Charles was instantly stunned when he heard that Richard was going to do this job. He quickly said, “Richard, are you out of your mind? Are people capable of doing that job? Don’t you know how many people have died halfway through the job?”
