Ch 136: Useless Protection - Part 3

A few hours before Layla woke up, the tense atmosphere around the temple room could be felt.

Cardinal Bishop looked tense as he observed Layla and her condition. 

His expression told Mary that the condition of the female in front of him was not good. Her master had suffered a huge injury that was difficult to heal. But she felt safer to leave her master in the Cardinal's hand.

"I will do what I can for her, but I cannot guarantee that I will be able to save her. I cannot tell how much the core is damaged or how much energy has been lost already.

But just as a warning, you should know that your young miss would be even more fragile if she survives."

The cardinal spoke in a grim voice.

He did not want to be this negative, but he felt it best to admit what could go wrong beforehand.

That way, the maid would have no ground to question him later.
