Chapter 1541 Human

After that, Aisha began operating on Eleanor. She cut her open and scrapped everything that wasn't supposed to be there. After that, she channeled her power to regenerate the bones and the organs. It wasn't like she had to recreate an organ, so she still managed to do it.

Eleanor was weakened during that time, but Akbar took care of her the whole time. After a week, it was time she had to meet Theo.

Akbar dressed her simple but elegant. She wore a sleeveless white shirt since there was no need to hide her bruises anymore.

Just with the shirt alone, she looked like a completely different person. Her messy hair had been fixed, and the shorts she was wearing made her look a bit more energetic. However, the only thing she might be lacking right now might be the emotion on her face.

Akbar had been living with her for a while, but she never made a single smile the entire time. It was also a necessary ability for someone working in espionage, but he was still a bit worried.

And his worry struck his heart when Theo suddenly said, "I don't need her."

Akbar widened his eyes in shock. Even the rest of the people who were aware of her existence dropped their jaws, not understanding what Theo said.

"Theo?" Akbar blinked a few times, looking at Theo, who was busy with the documents Rea gave him. He even spared her only a glance to decide this matter.

Hearing that statement, Eleanor looked down. It might be the first time she felt disappointed in herself, but she was aware of what kind of figure Theo was since she had seen him before the apocalypse.

She lowered her head and said, "I apologize for wasting your time, Sir Theodore Griffith. Please don't blame my teacher, because he's just concerned about me. I hope that my existence won't bring any problem to him, and I promise that I won't show myself to you ever again."

After saying all those words, Eleanor turned around and started walking away.

Akbar looked at Theo and Eleanor back and forth, not knowing what to do.

However, Theo also added, "Who said you can go?"

"Ah?!" Akbar was shocked again while Eleanor stopped, misunderstanding Theo's meaning. She said, "I apologize. I should have killed myself. Please let me do—"

When she turned around to prove that she would kill herself, she stopped because Theo's hand had reached her forehead, brushing her bangs so that he could look at her more clearly.

"See? This is why I don't need you." Theo looked at her coldly. "I won't hesitate to sacrifice my own life for this group. Felix, Akbar, and the rest of the people here are the same. However, you're different.

"And no, I'm not rebuking the fact you're prepared to kill yourself for Akbar's sake. I'm talking about how you think nothing of yourself. You're simply a zombie. You are dead but not dead at the same time.

"What you're thinking right now is to accomplish something before you die. However, take a look around and see the difference between them and you. They also want to accomplish something before they die, but they do it because they want to live with that accomplishment. Meanwhile, you are different… You simply do it because you're seeking the path to die. I don't want to take in someone who is already dead inside."

"But that's…" Eleanor wanted to say something but her words stuck in her throat.

Theo was the one who finished her words. "What? Because you have undergone something horrible in your life, and your life is not important anymore?"

"I have sold my life to the devil, so I'll do everything for that person's sake."

"That's why I don't need you. Change your mindset a bit. How about… You'll do everything so that you and that person can live your ideal life?"

"!!!" Eleanor's lips were trembling. After that torture and revenge, she lost everything. That was why she wouldn't think about her own life anymore. Even if Akbar told her to let others do her for his sake, she wouldn't hesitate to do it because she would suffer a worse fate if she didn't meet Akbar.

Yet, Theo was telling her that she could agree or disagree with Akbar. She could live together with him as his true student. She owed him her life? No, it was because she owed him her life that she had to live for her and Akbar's sake. This was the message that Theo wanted to tell her.

Theo said, "I will take you in whether you are a human or a monster. But you're not either of them. If you want to enter this place, then you have to become a human or a monster. It's your choice. So, what do you want to become?"

"…" Eleanor bit her lips as her emotion gradually returned. But as expected, it seemed she couldn't be fixed instantly. The anger that had been keeping her alive had disappeared after that revenge, so she didn't know the purpose of her life anymore.

But when she heard Theo's words, there seemed to be something lingering in her heart. She didn't know why but she could see her sister's image, smiling at her while pumping her fists as if she were cheering for her.

It would be a miracle or her hallucination if not for the fact Theo was a master of Reality. He was just encouraging her in her own way with the use of her sister, which he got her picture from the other reality. He asked, "Your answer?"

"I want to be a human again…" Eleanor answered. Her eyes were glazing as she wanted to cry but had no tears.

Theo nodded and turned to Akbar. "That's it, Akbar. You have two months to make her a human again. If you can't do it by that time, then I'm going to expel her."

"Expel her?" Akbar widened his eyes. Theo chose the word 'expel' because he had already considered her as one of them and allowed her to enter. Whether she could keep staying in this place or not would depend on their efforts.

'What's wrong with me? I thought there was a hundred percent chance that I would trust him, yet, I doubted him for a moment. Ah, shit. Did I miscalculate? Still…' Akbar smiled at Theo and politely lowered his head. "Certainly. I'll do my best to make her a human again."
