Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1657

Wuhlricht, however, continued to scrutinize him and asked, "I'm not looking for a politically correct answer. I'm asking what you think. Do you find her attractive?"

Severin felt awkward and tried to avert his gaze. "Yes, I do. Who wouldn't? But I only just met her. It doesn't seem like the right time for you to ask such a question."

Wuhlricht then explained, "As long as you find her attractive, the appropriateness of the question doesn't matter. I don't have time to beat around the bush. There's something I need your help with."

Severin was stunned for a moment. "What could I possibly be able to help you with? What else is there that someone of your high attainment can't do? Is this related to the black tower?"

Wuhlricht shook his head and responded, "My daughter possesses a unique negative-energy constitution known as the Ice-Blood Constitution. I'm sure you've heard of it before."

Wuhlricht sighed wistfully and said to Severin, "There is a way of treating this condition, but very few are privy to this information. Only the great elder and I are aware of it. There aren't a lot of people who suffer from the Ice-Blood Constitution, so we've never revealed the truth to Gilda. She still doesn't know what she's suffering from. The frequency of her comas has increased from once a month, to once every ten days, then once a day, and, as you've heard, thrice a day."

Wuhlricht paused and continued, "The duration of each coma is growing longer too. She fears that she might never wake up from it one day. However, she's a filial young lady who conceals her despair with forced smiles whenever I visit her."
