Chapter 865
Yasmin stood speechless. She had never seen Linda smile like this before.
“After you left, I did a lot of thinking! I love him deeply, and now, I know he still loves me. Since I’m already affected, I can hold his hand without worry now, right, Dr. Zeller?”
At that moment, Pierre broke down as he sobbed uncontrollably.
“Linda, are you absolutely sure about this?” Since their clasped hands were behind them, Yasmin could safely offer her counsel.
Linda nodded, kissing Pierre’s cheek. “Yes, Yasmin. I’m certain! Though it’s unbearable, I’m okay with it. Having Pierre by my side is enough.
“After experiencing love this deep, I doubt I’ll ever find someone who loves me this much. again.”
Pierre pulled away from her and donned his gloves. Then, he cupped Linda’s face, giving her a gentle kiss. “Linda, I’ll love you forever, but I don’t want you remembering the man who hurt you.”
He moved lightning–fast. As he pulled out a small axe, he swung it toward his left wrist.
“No!” Despite being inches away, Linda could only scream. But how could that stop him?
Suddenly, the horrific moment froze. Pierre knew Felix had intervened. “Just let me die! My hands can save Linda. I can’t bear her suffering one more moment because of me.”
Felix clapped his hands, smiling. “Your love is truly remarkable. Don’t worry. I lied earlier. We only need one scale from each of your hands to cure Linda.”
What? After a stunned silence, Linda pulled Pierre down to kneel. “Thank you, Dr. Zeller!”
Felix quickly raised them up. “But listen, removing the scales will be really painful. Don’t hold back the pain. Afterward, you’ll likely lose your power and become an ordinary person as the scales fade.”
Pierre did not hesitate. “That’s exactly what I want! Please begin, Dr. Zeller. After all she’s endured for me, my pain means nothing.”
By sunset, it was done. Pierre’s scales were gone, leaving aged–looking skin. But neither he nor Linda cared–both of them were happier than ever before.
“Dr. Zeller, thank you for saving us! This crystal pendant is my family heirloom. Any Fish Man who sees it will know you saved my life.”
Felix accepted, considering Pierre’s great–grandfather might still live. If they ever met and Felix couldn’t win, the pendant might save him.
The human body was mysterious. Some were born with supernatural strength, while others

with a Senses. These were heaven’s gifts, so they could be truly, miraculous. Even
with Felix’s current power, facing Pierre’s great–grandfather would be unpredictable.
“Very well. I’ll consider this my extra consultation fee, then.”
Driving back, Yasmin reflected. “Love really works in mysterious ways.”
Felix nodded. Only those who had experienced true love could understand.
After a while, Yasmin spoke hesitantly, “Dr. Zeller, would you join me for dinner? Besides Linda’s situation, I’m here for business. I’m meeting Wealthhealth Pharmaceuticals‘ vice president.
“He’s a Dragonian and admires traditional medicine. Your presence would really help seal the deal.”
