[BL] Seducing Male Leads To Survive As A Villain In A Novel-Chapter 373: Dying...

Elvis came over to comfort Lysander while he stood there, also staring at Eden. He was extremely worried but couldn’t show it. All he could do was stare while breaking down inside.

"I know physicians from all over the world," Leo said anxiously. "I know those from the West—the best in the world. I can call them in and have them check up on him..."

The physician there sighed. "I’m one of the best you can get. But if you feel you have an alternative, you can try. However, I’ve already said this doesn’t seem like something physical... He’s fine in all aspects."

Adrian furiously rushed toward the physician and grabbed him by the collar. "How can you not know what’s wrong with him?! Aren’t you a physician?! How can you not know?!" He was desperate and angry.

But Queen Elizabeth stopped him. "He has done his best... he would know if something was really wrong... Don’t do this here," she explained.

Adrian then calmed himself down.

Cordelia stood behind Helen as she stared at the scene. She couldn’t bear watching Eden, let alone think of anything negative happening to him. Helen was also worried. Lenny, in his cat form, was sitting on the bed.

The cat was already in tears as he moved his paws around Eden’s face. "Wake up... wake up... Don’t do this to me... Wake up..." He had tried to detect anything himself but found nothing.

"Stop playing around and wake up... I promise I won’t nag you anymore... Wake up..." the cat sobbed.

The air was thick with worry. No one knew what to do; they all just stared at Eden. All they could do was hope. But then something came to Felix’s mind.

Felix turned and looked at his father, who was standing by the door, watching them quietly. Felix immediately walked up to his father and grabbed his hand.

"Please do something..." Felix pleaded. "I know you can do something... anything... I know you might know something... Please do something... please!" he begged.

Mr. Albert stared at Felix. He had been quiet all this while, and now his son was before him, begging. Everyone in the room was already looking at him with hope.

He hesitated. He didn’t want to step in. But suddenly, he found himself taking a step forward.

All eyes were on him as he walked up to Eden. He sat beside him and ran a hand across his forehead, examining him.

Everyone stared anxiously as he checked his pulse. Then he announced in a calm tone, "His wizard core is weak." He explained, "He exhausted it. All he needs is rest. He’ll be fine by tomorrow if he gets enough rest."

"How can we know that’s right? I mean, he’s been using his powers for a long time. How is it suddenly weak?" Adrian questioned.

"During his fight with Kyle, he damaged his core. And then he had to use his powers to fight that many soldiers... Of course he’d be weak," Mr. Albert explained. "I promise. He’ll be okay by tomorrow. He’ll wake up fine and healthy. So don’t worry at all. You have my word."

Everyone slowly nodded. His explanation made sense, so they chose to believe him and wait until the next morning to see if he would be fine.

That night, everyone soon began retiring to their rooms to wait for news the next day.

Mr. Albert was also heading out when Felix followed him.

"Dad..." Felix called out while he was in the hallway.

Mr. Albert paused and then turned to look at Felix. The two of them stood there staring at each other for a while before Mr. Albert let out a soft smile.

"I guess I still have to speak with you after all. Since we’re already here, why don’t we go inside and talk? Huh?" Mr. Albert said, gesturing to the room at the side. Their room.

Felix hesitated. He said nothing but followed his father to the room to talk. He had a bad feeling about everything, so it was better to hear it from him.

---

The two of them were in the room. Felix was standing while Mr. Albert locked the door so they could have a more private conversation.

"Everything you said was a lie, right?" Felix opened the conversation while staring at his father. The two of them stood alone in that room. "Everything you said about Eden... it was a lie, right?"

Mr. Albert sighed. He hesitated before slowly nodding. He was clearly contemplating whether he should say the words he wished to say or not.

Felix gasped as he nodded to confirm it. "So... what is it? What’s his condition...? What’s... happening?"

Mr. Albert hesitated before he said, "He’s... He’s dying... Or should I say he’s already dead...? It’s complicated to put into words."

Felix’s expression went pale as he stared at him. "Dying? Dead? What the hell are you talking about right now?"

Mr. Albert sighed. "I’ll tell you something. I should have told you a long time ago, but I..." He sighed again. "I didn’t think you should know, but... I guess it doesn’t really make any difference now. You should know."

Felix was already panicking. "What are you talking about...?"

Mr. Albert took his time to tell the story. He explained the past of the Wizard of EL in relation to Felix and himself—a story Felix was already aware of.

He sat down narrating the story to Felix before getting to the main point.

"What does the story have to do with all this?" Felix asked as Mr. Albert sighed.

Mr. Albert told him about the prophetic warning given to him when he was carrying out the experiment with both of them—Felix and the Wizard of El.

He explained the meaning of the prophecy: the two of them were like day and night. They could not exist in the same space—with the knowledge of the other—and if that happened, one of them would pay the price. With death.
