The bald sorcerer had already expected Cheng Xi’s reaction and quickly explained, “Lily’s background is not in this aspect. Don’t you feel that Lily has become weak recently?”
Only then did Cheng Xi relax a little and say, “Lily has indeed fallen sick very easily recently, and her recovery is very slow.”
The bald sorcerer nodded and said, “That’s the main point. Lily isn’t your child or Devon’s child at all. She’s a child that he used a potion to forcefully condense in your body. Her soul is incomplete and will easily be separated from her body.”
“That’s impossible!” Cheng Xi pretended to be frightened. “Lily was fine before. It’s just that she’s more prone to illness recently.”
The bald sorcerer did not expect Cheng Xi to believe it immediately. After all, in his opinion, ordinary people were very stupid. Only sorcerers should be the masters of this world.
He controlled his temper and said, “In the past, Lily was only able to maintain the balance of her soul and body because of Devon’s potion. Now, without Devon’s potion, there’s no way to maintain it. She might even fall into a deep coma. You should have seen all this.”
What the bald sorcerer said was indeed what had happened before. Cheng Xi thought of Lily’s appearance at that time and cried. “l thought it was just the child’s body being weak. I didn’t expect it to be like this. What will happen to Lily in the future?”
Seeing that she believed him, the bald wizard heaved a sigh of relief and said, “This is why I asked you to come. We have to save Lily’s life.”
Cheng Xi only lowered her head and cried, “But I have no choice. Devon never told me about these spells.”
The bald sorcerer hurriedly said patiently, “But Devon definitely knows what to do. As long as we save him, there will be a way.”
“That’s impossible!” Cheng Xi’s tone became firm. “l will never save him. He treated Lily and me like that. If we are released, we will never have a good life.”
The bald sorcerer also knew what Devon had done to his wife and daughter, but in his opinion, this was not a big deal. In fact, Devon was not ruthless enough to completely control Cheng Xi with potions, which led to the current disaster.
However, he still had to pretend in front of Cheng Xi. He said with heartache, “l know that Devon did something inhumane, but let him off for the sake of the child. It won’t be too late to make plans after we save Lily. If anything happens to Lily, you’ll regret it.”
Cheng Xi lowered her head and looked like she was thinking, but she had already cursed this bald sorcerer 108 times in her heart. He could even say such words.
Even if she really couldn’t save Lily now, she wouldn’t choose to let Devon out. With Devon’s personality, he would definitely continue to control Lily with potions. Then, the mother and daughter would live in darkness forever.
If that was the case, they might as well die together. It would be better than being abused by Devon for the rest of their lives.
The bald sorcerer did not know that Cheng Xi was cursing him. Seeing that she did not speak for a long time, he said anxiously, “You have to make a decision early. The longer you delay, the worse it will be for Lily.”
“I don’t have any way to save him. Country Y has already begun to sue him for the sale of children,” Cheng Xi said. “The case of his attempted hijacking and kidnapping is also being heard. Even if 1 have extraordinary abilities, it’s useless.’
“That’s not important. As long as we can get him to save Lily now, you won’t care about him persecuted later.” The bald wizard was really anxious.
Seeing him like this, Cheng Xi continued, “That’s a case of sale of children. Even the bones were dug out of the house under his name. What can I do?”
The bald sorcerer also hated Devon for not dealing with it properly. His face was dark and he did not know what to do. Country Y had almost tracked them down. If this continued, they would be wiped out.
Cheng Xi took the initiative and said, “What’s going on with you two? 1 don’t care if he sells children. Anyway, this has nothing to do with me, but if you don’t tell me anything, I won’t be able to save Devon.”
The bald sorcerer was a little hesitant about whether to tell Cheng Xi. He did not expect that after hesitating for a while, she would stand up and bring the child to leave.
As she walked, she said, “You didn’t tell me anything and still want me to save him. Even if I’m a god, I don’t have the ability. Anyway, if something happens to Lily, 1 don’t want to live anymore. Let us mother and daughter die together..”
