Chapter 176
Suddenly Cassia felt very upset. Although she didn’t want to die, she was still young, about twenty years away from fifty, and could not feel the fear of imminent death as her elders did.
The sudden loss of those extraordinary abilities, which had brought Cassia so much joy before, felt as if she had lost the most important thing.
Those abilities gave Cassia abilities beyond the imagination of ordinary people and extraordinary beauty, and she couldn’t bear to lose them!
After a moment of daze, Cassia picked up her phone and turned on the camera to look at her face.
Cassia could see that she was still beautiful, but unlike before, she was only as beautiful as an ordinary person, not at all remarkable.
Cassia used to have smooth and delicate skin, which was extremely gorgeous.
And now her skin was obviously much rougher.
Cassia looked up at Oliver, who smiled and said, “How are you feeling? Does it feel good to be cured?”
Cassia shook her head in confusion and said something that surprised Oliver. “Can I… Can I change back to my old self?
Oliver was dumbfounded and asked, “Why? Doesn’t your family dream of being cured? You’re not happy that I cured you?”
Cassia frowned slightly and said unhappily, “I do want to be cured, but I don’t want to lose my powers and my beauty. Look… My face is different than before, right?”
Oliver stared at Cassia for a while, shook his head, and said, “You do look different. You used to be eerily beautiful and frightening, but now you are healthily beautiful.”
“No, I’m unattractive now. I was prettier!” Cassia was more and more annoyed.
Oliver sighed and shook his head. He didn’t know what to say.
Looking at Cassia’s annoyed look, Oliver spread his hands and said, “I can cure you. But I can’t get you back to the way you were.”
Immortality Energy could heal illnesses, but it could not make a person who had already been cured revert to their previous state of being unhealed.
Oliver was silent for a long time before he said to Cassia, “Are you aware that this disease can kill a member of your family very quickly when the blood exchange limit is reached?” NôvelDrama.Org content.
Cassia nodded. “Sure, but I’m still young and have at least twenty or thirty years to live. I can treat the disease later.”
Oliver was speechless again and shook his head. Now he didn’t even want to say anything.
Oliver didn’t want to fish, see the sights, or do anything.
After a while, Oliver said to Cassia, “Let’s go back and ask your father if they want to be cured.”
Cassia blurted out, “Of course, they want to be cured. My father dreams of being cured.”
They were going to die soon, so of course they wanted to be cured and live.
Cassia actually had some family members who had grown up mature enough to keep trying to figure out how to cure this disease. Only Cassia didn’t want to worry so much and just wanted to stay unique.
Seeing that Oliver was not happy, Cassia was no longer in the mood to continue playing, so Cassia told the captain to sail back to shore.
On the way back, Cassia suddenly thought of a question and asked Oliver, “Oliver, I want to ask you a question. You… Do you have the same disease as my family members?”
Oliver couldn’t help laughing. “Me? How is that possible? I don’t drink blood. I’m perfectly healthy, and I don’t have that weird disease that your family has.”

Cassia asked him puzzledly, “If you don’t have this disease, how can you dive over a thousand yards underwater without any difficulty?”
Oliver was stunned and said, “Um… Isn’t that wetsuit your latest high-tech product? It’s what got me to dive that deep, isn’t it?”
Cassia shook her head affirmatively and said, “No way. That wetsuit can only take you to a depth of 150 yards.”
“150 yards?” Oliver was a little dumbfounded.
His abilities were accidentally exposed, but Oliver was glad that they were only exposed to Cassia because her family was not ordinary either. They possessed extraordinary abilities and were very wealthy.
That wetsuit could only take a person down to a depth of 150 yards, and they dived to a depth of 1,200 yards.
Oliver still remembered clearly even now that the depth data was displayed on the monitor in the wetsuit helmet.
Oliver knew he couldn’t explain it clearly, so he gave up.
Oliver casually changed the topic and said, “Miss Cassia, in treating you, I discovered a cure for this disease. You can ask your father if he wants treatment.”
Cassia nodded, then took the satellite phone and called her father.
Oliver was paid a lot of money by Fermin anyway, so he was supposed to treat Fermin, but Oliver just wanted to look mysterious and hide his powers.
But Oliver figured Fermin was smart enough to see that Oliver had special powers, so Oliver didn’t have to hide them.
As soon as Fermin received his daughter’s phone call, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed and said he wanted to be cured, preferably right away.
Fermin thought, ‘Oliver said he needed some time to think about treatment options, and now he says he can treat me right away, so I guess I did the right thing by asking my daughter to please him. There’s no young man who doesn’t love a beauty like Cassia, is there?
It seems that the amazing Oliver is no exception, but he didn’t seem to like Cassia very much before.. Why?’
After thinking about it, Fermin suddenly realized that Oliver must have been shy and didn’t want to show his affection for Cassia in front of Leighton, but after sailing alone with Cassia, Oliver couldn’t help but show his feelings.
It wasn’t just because Oliver could save Fermin’s life that Fermin wanted Oliver to marry Cassia, but because Fermin believed Oliver was the only one worthy of being with Cassia.
Fermin asked his daughter ecstatically, “Well… Can Oliver really cure this disease in our family? Are you sure?”
Cassia said unhappily, “I’m sure, because he has just cured me of all the symptoms. I got better, but I lost those powers and that amazing beauty…”
Cassia’s worst sorrow was the loss of her stunning look.
Hearing this, Fermin’s voice trembled with excitement. “Silly daughter, you don’t know… Life is more important than any ability or appearance!”
Fermin had almost everything he wanted in life, from deep pockets to power over countless countries. But Fermin just couldn’t let himself live longer. He wanted to survive and live longer. He only wanted to cure the genetic disease of his family.
But Fermin tried many things and failed.
Generations of people in Fermin’s family had been trying to find a cure for this terminal disease since birth, and no one had managed it.
Fermin’s ancestors were all killed early by this terminal disease.
