Alice then looked at her husband, who for the third time had tears streaming down his face, she raised her arm a little, looking slowly towards him and said "Be calm love, I'm fine." her while she dried the tears that streamed down his face.
But it didn't help, because after she did that, Arthur held her hand and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about it? (Crying) I could have ... "with more and more tears running down her face.
Already knowing what he was going to say, Alice spoke even before he could finish his sentence "… I didn't tell you, because it would bring nothing but suffering and concern for you, and I didn't want to see you, let alone my daughter in state…"
"But we could look for one ..."
"There is no cure, you can ask the doctor about it. (Sigh) You don't have to worry about it so much, I'm fine and nothing is going to happen to me. "
'At least for now ... '
"What do you mean… (He looked at her, and when he saw her smiling even when she was clearly suffering, suffering much more than he or anyone else, Arthur felt a great tightness in his chest and spoke) As you wish… but I will still try to find a way to resolve this. "
'Whatever it takes.'
"… I will let you rest then. Come on doctor, I'll take you to the exit. "
"Oh thank you, and see you soon, Mrs. Radiance, I hope you will be able to recover."
Arthur turned and left the room while showing the doctor the way to the exit, Alice turned and hugged Sophia who was on her side, while looking at the two of them leaving the room, but after the door was closed, Alice gave a kiss on your daughter's forehead while crying silently.
*********
Meanwhile at the exit of the Radiance mansion, in front of a large brown gate Arthur said "I am immensely grateful that you came here, but I need to ask, do you really know of any cures for this disease? Even if it only serves to relieve symptoms and delay illness. "
"(He shook his head) I'm sorry, Mr. Radiance, but I really don't understand this kind of disease, I already tried to help you with this disease, but to my help it didn't help, so this disease is probably related to cultivation, however I do not practice this, and for that reason it is impossible for me to be able to help you to cure your wife's illness. "
"… I'm really sorry, and thanks for the hospitality."
The doctor turned and started walking slowly in the opposite direction in which Arthur was, and meanwhile Arthur stood in front of the gate thinking of one of the things that the doctor had just said to him. And after a few seconds of thinking, Arthur saw the doctor leaving, ran over to him and asked "Wait ... so if I can find a cultivator who understands medicine, can I cure it?"
"Well, probably, but it's not as easy as you think."
"Thank you, thank you so much for coming here!"
Arthur hardly heard that the doctor said it would not be as easy as it looks, and went home happy to have found a small ray of light, a hope.
But as time passed, he realized that it would definitely not be easy. Two years had passed, and so far Arthur had been unable to find anything, not even a single doctor who could diagnose that disease, or rather, in fact he found no doctor who practiced medicine and cultivated at the same time.
However, even with the passing of time, the intense search did not stop even for a moment, if she was not cultivating, Sophia certainly was with her mother. Whereas, if he was not looking for a doctor, Arthur would either be with his wife, or dealing with the financial problems that started to appear in the Radiance family.
And when Sophia turned 15, her father also tried to find a doctor to help her, but just like her mother's problem, no doctor was able to find a cause or cure, for that drastic and constant decrease in her cultivation proficiency.
After a few days also looking for a doctor to help Sophia, Arthur found himself in a situation where he would rather not have to make a choice, he found himself trapped between deciding to help his wife or daughter, since the Radiance family's economic situation was deteriorating more and more over the years.
But Sophia knew about her mother's situation, because even though neither she nor her father had told her (Sophia) what was happening, Sophia realized with the time she was spending with her mother, that she was not at all well. And knowing this she even went to her father, and said that he no longer had to worry about her, Sophia went to her father and said that the search for a doctor for her was no longer necessary.
Thus taking a great weight off Arthur's shoulders, and also made him thank the heavens for the wonderful daughter that he and his wife brought life.
