Chapter 745 - 114 - Date With Zeruel...? (5)
Leon’s POV
"Just so we’re clear," I told her, my voice steady but firm, locking eyes with her so she could feel the weight of what I was about to say. "I’m not making this up. The foundation of this method comes directly from research—intense, rigorous work done by a whole team of researchers in the lab. They’ve managed to prove its effectiveness."
"I see..." she murmured, her voice soft, but laced with doubt and tension.
She seemed to pause, her mind racing. I could sense that she was struggling to grasp the depth of what I was trying to say. And to be honest, I couldn’t blame her.
What I was about to reveal wasn’t something easy to digest. I was stalling—yes, because this wasn’t just some theoretical solution. It was real. And it was ethically... complicated.
She probably sensed that too.
I had told her it was something that shouldn’t be done to a human. That alone was a huge red flag. And yet, here I was, preparing to say it out loud.
Still, no matter how bizarre or degrading it might sound, I knew—she knew—that if this could bring her mother back, she would hear me out.
She was strong. Stronger than most. And this was about someone she cared deeply for. Someone irreplaceable.
If there was even the slightest chance of waking her up... then she would be willing to do whatever it took.
"W-What is it, Leon?" she asked at last, her voice shaking ever so slightly.
