Taking Care of My Husband in a Tragic Novel - Chapter 64

Chapter 64

“Are you trying to send me to Philia again? And then you’re going to hide where no one can find you? Do you think I can’t find you?”

“…….”

“No. I will never let you go this time. I wasn’t myself back then, but my mind is very clear right now. I will never let you go in this lifetime.”

I couldn’t say anything. The words he uttered were so great that I couldn’t even bring myself to respond.

“So… In this life, live by my side until the end. Don’t leave me alone, don’t go anywhere, don’t act deliberately just to send me away, don’t think of sending me to someone else for my sake. Let’s live together as we are now, Wife. That’s what I want, too…”

“You… know… everything…?”

Now I’m more shocked that he knew about all the things I’d done for his sake in the past, rather than the fact that he also regained his memories like me.

How did he know? Who… Oh, Logan… The only person who knew all I had done was Logan, the doctor. So that Bleon knew meant that Logan had told him.

So, what did he mean by having brought me back? Did he die and summon my soul from another place? Was that really possible?

“My wife did so in my arms… Ha, after you died… I tried to die too. I tried to die over and over again.”

“Why…! Why did you…!”

When I died, I knew that he was going to die right after me because I saw the original story. But the novel ended there, so I don’t know what happened to him after that. But when I heard from his mouth that he was about to die after me again, my emotions intensified for a moment.

“You should have forgotten me and lived a good life. Why, why did you do that!”

“Because a life without you means nothing to me. After you died, my world stopped forever. But Philia kept me alive… I asked her to let me die… I didn’t even get the death I wanted.”

Ah…

I don’t know how it was this time, but according to the original story, Philia had feelings for Bleon. So she helped him, took care of him and healed him.

“Then… you should have lived. How would I feel… you…”

“One day, when I couldn’t die, I received a letter.”

“A letter…?”

“Yes. The sender was Logan, the doctor.”

So that’s how he found out. I said to Logan to keep the secret until the end… That’s how it happened in the end.

“I found out when I read the letter. It was then that I found out why you did it, why you had to do it, and it wasn’t because you hated me, that you threw me away. Why didn’t you tell me? If you got sick, you need treatment, so why did you leave me?”

“Because there is no cure!”

When he asked me why I left him, I cried out in frustration.

“Because it is an incurable disease! Because I have no choice but to die! If you knew how I’d feel, you should have lived a better life! Why did you do that! Why! Why! Hiic…”

Hearing about how foolish he was made me sob and cry out. I was so angry and so upset that he ruined his life for not being able to forget a single person like me.

“Wife…”

As Bleon reached out and hugged me, I slapped his hand.

“Don’t come close. Don’t touch me. No. Hiic.”

“Wife… Haa, please…”

I moved away from him and wiped away my tears. Because I had to ask the most important thing.

“But what do you mean you brought me here? So you’re saying you’re the reason I’m here?”

“That’s right…”

“Ho, how…”

“Ha… I’ve been looking for it like a madman for a few years after that. I had to bring you back, so I could do anything if I could see you again. So I searched the continent and frantically searched for a way to do it. And in the end… I found it.”

“What… How?”

“They say that mages no longer exist in the continent, but that’s a lie. After their genocide, the mages who barely survived hid out of sight. I found one of them who’s said to be the strongest out of them. And I asked that mage to turn back time.”

I heard it with my own ears, but it was something that had no sense of reality at all. In a way, it wasn’t such an absurd story. Philia wielded healing magic, and the existence of magic proves that there were many more different types of magic in the past.

“He just, he just wouldn’t have done it…! You must have paid a price.”

“Yes. But I’ll never let you find out…”

“What…… ! Tell me.”

Bleon shook his head with a stiff face. It was evident that he would never say anything.

“Bleon…!”

“Regardless of what price I paid, we met again. That’s the only thing that matters to me.”

What? What did he give to the mage? There was nothing that came to my mind at all. I had to know what he had lost. So despite his stubborn attitude, I continued to push him.

“Please tell me…! Don’t I have a right to know?”

“No… Just don’t ask me that.”

“No. If you don’t tell me, I’ll figure it out anyway. Even if I search the continent like you, I will find out.”

“Wife…!”

I widened my eyes and looked at him strongly.

“If you don’t tell me, I will leave right now.”

When I said that, Bleon’s face became sharply distorted. Still, his eyes were full of pain and sorrow.

“I don’t want you to be sad, Wife.”

“It is up to me to be sad and to endure it.”

I fixed my gaze on him with a determined expression.

“…I gave my soul.”

“Soul…?”

“Yes. At the price of my soul, I brought you back from another world and turned back time.”

“Wa, wait…! Different… world?”

My eyes widened at the word “another world” that came out of Bleon’s mouth.

“The mage said that after your death, your body was buried here, but your soul had gone elsewhere, so I had to bring it back. So I gave my soul, turned back time, and brought you back, Wife. However, it was not possible under the desired conditions. So… At that time, I was thirty-seven, so I said that he could just turn it back for as much as what’s left of my life.”

“Then…”

“Yes. I have about 30 years left in my lifespan. And I will probably disappear without a trace after that.”

In an instant, my heart sank. Disappear? Who? Bleon?

“If you disappear… What happens? What happens when the soul dies?”

I asked him, barely holding back the tears that were about to burst out.

“I don’t know either. Because I didn’t even ask about it. I was desperate and selling my soul didn’t matter to me if I could really see you again. I was ready to do more than that.”

Unlike his usual, Bleon maintained his calmness. Seeing that made my heart ache even more.

“So why… No, since when did you know? Did you know from the beginning?”

“No. After falling off a cliff, I had a very long dream until I woke up. It seemed like a dream, but I woke up and realized that it was a memory from a long time ago.”

It was the same as me. The point in time when I regained my memory coincided with his. Perhaps it was because our souls were intertwined.

“Why…! Why did you even do that…! What can I say to you that you…! Why! Why! Hiic…”

In the end, my emotions collapsed and my legs loosened from the reckless and terrifying thing that he had done. I almost fell down because I couldn’t stand properly, so Bleon quickly approached me and supported me.

“Wife!”

I slammed my fist into his chest and cried out to him.

“Why did you do that! Why? Forget the dead! Forget it!Hiic, hiic!”

Then, suddenly, the heart pain began as I started heaving.

“Wife…!”

“My, my breath…! Huk, B-Bleon! I, ca, can’t, breathe…”

“Is anyone out there?! Call the doctor! Wife! Take a deep breath! Wife!”

Bleon grabbed me and laid me gently on the bed. My heart was still tight and I couldn’t breathe properly.

“Hic, hiic. No, not yet, hiic.”

“Don’t say anything more! Wife…! Where is the doctor?”

I had goosebumps all over my body at the unfamiliar symptoms. These symptoms were very similar to when I died in front of Bleon that time.

There was still time… I thought I could still live… Am I going to die in front of him like this again? No, I shouldn’t. I can’t give him another irrevocable wound yet again.
