# Chapter 32

“Aren't you really coming with me?”

“Of course, I will definitely buy you a new handkerchief.”

“No need to worry.”

I quickly sent Natasha and went to the medical unit alone.

I was afraid they might have left after work, but fortunately, Galerhead was still there.

“Hello, Mr. Gallerhead.”

“Olivia, come quickly. I was just about to check your ankle before leaving... Oh my God, what happened to your forehead?”

Gallerhead smiled, then approached quickly when he saw me, and his beautiful forehead wrinkled.

“I accidentally collided.”

I laughed, and Gallerhead muttered, “That hurts,” and led me to a chair.

He carefully examined the wound, then exhaled and said calmly: “Fortunately, the wound is not deep.”

"truly?"

“The wound is not deep, but since it is on the face, it must be well disinfected.”

I thought the wound was big because the blood didn't stop easily, but fortunately, that wasn't the case.

“I'll clean it first.”

I nodded and closed my eyes.

I felt a cold touch soon.

"Does it hurt? I'll be over quickly."

In fact, it was only painful when the disinfectant first touched the wound, but his worried voice was gentle, so I did not deny it and kept my eyes closed.

"I finished."

“Thanks, I always owe you.”

"City? This is my job."

Galerhyde put a bandage on my forehead and said, “How did this happen? It would be a shame if it left a scar on your pretty face.”

Galerhead seems to be a natural flirt.

I felt heat in my face.

“It needs to be disinfected for a few days. You have the ointment I gave you, right? Apply it carefully.”

"Good!"

I said the greeting jokingly, and Galerhyde responded with a similar salute. Such a jovial spirit.

“Shall I give you a lift? Let’s go out together.”

"Good!"

“Wait a minute, I will arrange these things.”

He carefully arranged the tools he used for disinfection, then took off the gloves stained with my blood and washed his hands.

“By the way, you always wear gloves, right? Is it because of hygiene?”

“Oh, I was a former surgeon, so it became a habit, and also...”

Galerheid took new gloves out of the drawer as he washed his hands.

“Because of the scars, people are surprised by them, so I cover them.”

“Scars?”

I got up from my place as if I was enchanted.

"Where? Where are the scars?"

He inclined his head to my question, then raised the back of his right hand.

"here."

There was a visible scar from a gunshot.

I unconsciously covered my mouth.

Edmund had a gunshot scar on the back of his left hand, and Gallerhead on his right hand?

"This! This scar! It's from a gunshot, isn't it?"

“Yes, right. If I had taken good care of her when I was young, it would have been better. But I couldn’t take care of her then, because of the civil war, there were no doctors who treated strangers. So I wanted to become a doctor who treated strangers as well.”

Gallerhead timidly put on his gloves again.

“If it is from the civil war, then this means an injury 15 years ago?”

“Yes, almost.”

“Where? Why were you injured?”

When I started asking excitedly, I felt a sharp pain in my left breast.

"brother!"

I grabbed my chest and collapsed, and Gallerhead rushed to support me.

"Olivia! What happened? Where do you feel the pain?!"

I felt the exact location of my heart, it was burning. This has never happened before since I lived in this body.

I held my chest and breathed slowly, and the pain subsided a little.

I slowly raised my bent body, while Gallerhead looked at me worriedly.

"Olivia? Are you okay?"

I nodded slowly. The pain disappeared as if it had never existed.

[The contract, don't forget.]

Suddenly, words in red appeared in the air.

Gallerhead didn't react, which meant I was the only one seeing her.

Contract? I remember him well. Until the age of twenty, I must win the heart of the master...

Oh, right. ‘It is forbidden to ask a suspicious person directly.’

But all I asked about was the source of the scar! I asked Edmund the same thing, didn't I?

I felt aggrieved and shook my head angrily, while Gallerhead looked at me worriedly.

Anyway, does this mean that Galerhead is a candidate for the Master as well?

As the end of the contract approaches, candidates appear from everywhere.

"Are you really okay? Does your chest hurt? Is this the first time? Or does it happen often? Maybe we should do a checkup…"

Even at this moment, Galerhyde was worried about me.

What a kind person. If he was someone like this, I could imagine him hugging a doll when he was little. I can't imagine that with Edmund.

“Mr. Gallerhead.”

"Yes?"

“I said I'd return the favor about the handkerchief, didn't I? What do you like? As long as it's not too expensive, I can do anything! Tomorrow is payday too!”

He looked at me in astonishment, then realized that I was avoiding answering, so he smiled without commenting.

“Well, then, how about dinner with me tomorrow?”

"What?"

What a golden opportunity!

“Really, is that enough?”

"Enough? I'm so happy. Dinner with Olivia!"

He smiled shyly as he looked at me.

"So, okay. Is there something you like? Meat? Or pasta?"

“I love everything you love, Olivia.”

“There's no such thing! I'm the one who pays, so let's eat what you like!”

“Okay, then let's eat meat.”

I shook my head enthusiastically.

“So, we meet tomorrow after work?”

“But don’t you find it difficult to leave on time? I heard that your departure times are irregular.”

“True, but tomorrow I don’t have much work!”

In fact, I had a lot, but if there was a lot of work, I would finish it quickly!

"This is good."

Galerheid smiled and we agreed to meet tomorrow after work at the city gate.

“Thanks for giving me a ride.”

“Nothing. Come back safely.”

He wasn't even sure I was in safely.

Handsome, smart, and kind. If this person was the master, it would be much easier to win his heart than Edmund.

“He seems to like me quite a bit.”

Yes, this is a good thing. It would be a hundred times better if Galerhead were the master. But why do I feel tight in my chest?

I pressed my heart to the painful area and tried to sleep.

“Oh, I can't sleep.”

But for some reason, sleep did not come. I felt constant distress. I didn't eat much at dinner, is this indigestion? Maybe if I get some night air?

“But if I came down now, Mr. Ruan would definitely worry.”

At this time, Pastor Rowan is still arranging the library.

My room is in the attic of the temple library, so if I go out now, I'll have a long sermon. Let me open the window next to the bed.

I lifted the old window frame, and the full moon appeared shining.

I breathed in the cool night air, and felt my tight chest loosen a little.

“Huh, I feel better.”

Maybe it was really indigestion. The feeling of lightness after breathing fresh air confirms this.

“I have to go to bed early to think about tomorrow.”

While I was staring at the moon in confusion, I suddenly encountered two red eyes.

“Were you okay?”

“Ah, ah!”

I recoiled in horror and fell out of bed. I heard the sound of hurried steps after the loud sound.

Knock—!

“Olivia, what happened?”

“Master Ruan! I’m fine! I fell out of bed while sleeping.”

“You scared me. Were you hurt?”

"No no!"

I heard Rowan's steps coming down the stairs. I pressed my ear to the door to make sure he had left, then returned to the window.

"You!"

"Hello? We haven't seen each other for a long time, 15 years, right?"

“Mephistopheles!!!”

Under the moonlight, his silver hair looked whiter, his pale face, and his terrifying red eyes as I had seen them 15 years ago.

“You, why all of a sudden!”

“What happened today, I think you would be interested to know.”

He floated in the night sky and smiled like a crescent moon.

“Are you crazy?!”

I grabbed his collar without hesitation.

"Hey! I'm a demon who opposes violence!"

“What is this talk!”

I wanted to hit him on the head when I saw him!

“You forgot that this is a temple?! What if you get expelled?”

Satan laughed at my screams.

"Hahahaha!"

What makes you laugh?
