Chapter 30: A Benefactor For Life "Promise to visit me often, okay? At least once or twice a week is good," Lady Callista said as she hugged her grandson. "Understood, Grandma," Thirteen replied. "I'll also bring Remi next time. I'm sure she'll be happy to meet you." "I'll look forward to it then," Lady Callista said. "Hans, you better stay in touch with Zion, so we can schedule his visits, okay?" "Yes, My Lady." Hans bowed his head in acknowledgment. After saying their goodbyes, Thirteen finally left the Leventis Residence. However, as he departed, he couldn't help but sense the gaze of two people coming from somewhere. 'It might be Michael and that old man, Arthur,' Thirteen thought. 'It seems that my visit here in this place has paid off.' Not only was he able to form a stronger connection with his Grandmother, but he was also able to leave an impression on the Patriarch of the Family, as well as his Eldest Son. Five minutes later... "Here you go, Young Master," Hans handed the vial, in which Lady Callista had placed a drop of her blood into, to Thirteen. He had only managed to give it a brief glance before the party. But now, the boy was finally able to take a closer look at it. 'Just as I expected, the poison has already spread to her entire body,' Thirteen thought. 'Now I understand why the doctors were only able to suppress the poison and not eradicate it properly. The poison also contains a curse. Fortunately, I can deal with something like this.' Hans, who was driving the car, looked at the rearview mirror and observed Thirteen's expression. He was looking for any signs that might tell him that the boy would be able to find a cure for his Master. But the minutes passed in silence. Just as Hans was about to ask Thirteen whether he would be able to cure his Grandma, the boy raised his palm, facing up. This put a stop to whatever Hans was going to say. The second thing that Thirteen did was place a finger over his lips, signaling the Butler to not say anything. The boy then pointed at his ear, before pointing at several places in the car. Hand immediately understood what the five-year-old was telling him. It seemed that the car had been bugged, and their conversation was being monitored by people. Since the Butler had been warned, he no longer initiated any form of conversation with Thirteen and focused his attention on the road.

Trisha wasn't an enemy and seriously cared about her Mistress. But the fact remained that her loyalty was with the Leventis family, so she must be excluded from the circle of trustworthy people that Thirteen was slowly building to become his strength in the future. "Understood," Hans replied. "How long will the treatment take?" Thirteen pondered a bit as he did some calculations. A minute later, he raised two fingers. "Two years," Thirteen replied. "I can make her recover faster, but there might be some side effects if I rush it. I need Grandma to be perfectly healthy, so two years is just the right amount of time for a full recovery. "Besides, if she is cured instantly, people will get suspicious, especially those who have treated her in the past. We don't want them to start poking their nose in places that are off-limits to them. Also, I intend to make you work hard for my sake as well. And no, this isn't part of the three favors that I will ask of you in the future. "These are just menial tasks to ensure that Grandma's recovery will not encounter any mishaps. As long as you cooperate, I will guarantee that not only will she be able to regain her strength, but her life force will become more robust as well." Hans felt as if a stone had finally dropped from his heart. Now that there was truly a chance to cure Lady Callista, he was more motivated to collaborate with Thirteen to make it happen. 'It seems that visiting this residence a few weeks ago was truly the right choice,' Hans thought. 'I'm glad I did it.' Truth be told, he wasn't supposed to make any contact with Gerald's Family since he had already been disowned by his Father. However, when he saw how sad his Mistress was, he decided to take the initiative to find Gerald and ask him to visit his mother so that she would feel a little better. Although he might get scolded by Arthur for bringing Gerald back to see his mother, he was willing to take that risk as long as it would make her happy. "Young Master, I will return four days from now." Hans bowed respectfully. "I pray that the next time we meet, you'll be done listing all the ingredients necessary for curing My Lady's condition." The Butler was already used to bowing to people because it was his job. But there were only a handful of times when he sincerely wanted to show his respect and acknowledgment to people. Right now, Hans had already deemed the five-year-old as someone who was worthy of his respect and admiration. Even though he still didn't understand how a five-year-old could accomplish what he did and know things that even adults were unable to comprehend, it didn't really matter in the end. He could tell that the boy wanted him to become his ally. Hans already promised himself that if Thirteen was really able to save Lady Callista from her suffering, forget about the three favors that he wanted from him. He would gladly serve and do any favors that the boy would ask of him and treat him as his benefactor for life.
