Chapter 613 Sophie [1]

Chapter 613 Sophie [1]

Max became serious upon hearing her words. Though he had made a deal with Mike, it wouldn't take effect if he was not able to help them.

He walked over to the bed and put a hand on Sophie's abdomen.

Riva furrowed her brows when she saw this, but didn't say anything.

Suddenly, Sophie, feeling someone touch her, tried to focus her eyes to see who it was but only saw a blurry figure.

"M...Mother?" She asked in an almost inaudible voice.

Swoosh!

Riva rushed over and took her hand in hers, "I'm here. Mother is here, baby. Don't worry. I brought someone to take a look at your condition. Your uncle Mike said he will be able to help you.."

Sophie didn't respond but from the look on her face, it was easy to tell she didn't believe she could be healed.

If it was possible to heal her, she and several others who had been suffering for years would have healed by now and all those people wouldn't have died.

'It's alright. Let mother do what she wants. That way, she wouldn't feel too guilty after I die.'

As though Riva could read her thoughts, her eyes reddened and tears welled up in her eyes.

Max looked at her, and then Sophie. Previously he hadn't noticed, but now that he took a better look at them, their appearance indeed had some similarities.

Then a realization suddenly hit him, 'No wonder she threatened me. Watching her daughter suffer at death's door, helpless to do anything, must have messed up her emotions.'

'Then I suddenly appeared and claimed I may be able to help her, reigniting her hope. But when she saw me trying to flirt, seemingly not being serious about what I was here for, she naturally became angry.' Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Upon realizing this, the displeasure he felt earlier lessened a little. Still, for some weird reason, he found it a little hard to believe that she was her mother.

"Mm." Sophie assented with a soft grunt.

Outside the room, Max was silent for a few seconds before he looked into her eyes and said something she already knew, "She is almost beyond saving. If not for the vitality boosting pills forcefully keeping her alive, she would've already died."

Riva's eyes shone, her breathing stopped as she frantically said, "You said 'almost'. This means you can save her, right?"

Max kept silent, letting her become more agitated. Only when she was agitated and anxious enough would she agree to what he was going to say.

"Tell Me You Can Save Her!" She shouted, her aura pressing down on him.

Completely unphased, Max looked at her with an expressionless face.

Riva looked at him, sighed and withdrew her aura, "Sorry I just lost my emotions." She apologized then turned around, her shoulders shaking, "You can leave."

Ha!

'This woman...' Max smiled wryly and said, "I can save her."

Swoosh!

Riva turned around, allowing Max to see her face full of tears, and excitedly asked, "Really?!"

Max nodded, "Yeah. Stop crying first, then we can talk."

Riva quickly wiped her tears, took a few breaths to calm her emotions and then asked again, "Are you sure you can save her?"

"I already said that, didn't I?" Max calmly said.

"You did. I'm sorry. I'm just..." Riva apologized and then said, "So, tell me, what are your conditions?"

"Conditions?" Max shook his head, "You misunderstand. I don't have any conditions. I just want to tell you this beforehand that her condition is way worse than I imagined. So, if I want to heal her, I have to take some extreme measures."
