Life After Prison

Chapter 1702
Gilda hastily replied, “He’s busy making pills. I didn’t want to disturb him, so we just had a brief conversation before I left him to
do his work.” She then immediately entered the house.
Wuhlricht walked out of the door and muttered to himself, “What is going on with Severin? He’s completely clueless! My daughter
is very beautiful, and she even took the initiative to drop by and see him. Isn’t that a very good opportunity for them to grow
closer? He’s been crafting pills for days on end now. It wouldn’t hurt to take half a day off to spend time with my daughter, right?
Wuhiricht’s thoughts then took a different turn as he suddenly realized, “Is it possible that Severin doesn’t like Gilda? That
doesn’t make any sense though Why did he promise me that he’d take good care of her if he didn’t like her? Does he feel a
sense of obligation simply out of guilt?”
After contemplating for a while, Wahlricht decided to confront Severin about it. He arrived at Severin’s residence just as Severin
was back in his yard.
“Uncle–master! What brings you here?” Severin asked, feeling slightly anxious that Wuhlricht had arrived just moments after
Gilda left. Wuhlricht could not have come over that quickly unless Gilda had told him something.
“Let’s talk inside,” Wuhlricht said, wearing a serious expression.
Once they were behind closed doors, Wuhlricht got straight to the point. “I have a question for you, Severin
“Please ask away,” Severin replied.
“I want to know if your promise about taking good care of my daughter is genuine. She’s no longer engaged, so I’m genuinely
hoping that you two will end up together.”
Wuhlricht continued, “I’m not trying to put pressure on you though, so let’s get that straight. You only agreed to help her because
I begged you to and put you in a tight spot. I want you to be with her out of genuine love and concern, not just because you
regret what happened. You understand what I mean, don’t you? You must show genuine concern for her before you can attempt
to win her heart.”
Severin was a little startled initially. He wondered if Gilda had already told Wuhlricht about Severin’s confession so quickly. He
looked at Wuhlricht and replied earnestly, “You have nothing to worry about. I’ve given this a lot of thought, and while I did. feel a

sense of responsibility toward her, I’ve come to realize that she’s a very good woman as I’m getting to know her better. Gilda
deserves to be loved. She’s strong in her convictions about love and justice, and she’s filial and sensible too. If she returns my
feelings, I’ll cherish her out of gemine love for her.”
Wuhlricht was content with Severin’s response. “I’m happy to hear that. Since you have genuine feelings for her, you should take
the initiative to spend more time with her when you have the chance. Go for walks with her. Don’t spend all your time making
pills. You’ve already crafted a lot of pills for the sect, and we’re no longer in as short supply as we were before.”
Severin smiled and said, “I’ll do my best. I can see that she’s comfortable around me, so I’m confident that I’ll stand a good
chance as long as I put in the effort.”
“That’s reassuring.” Wuhlricht said, reaching for the door. “I’d have nothing to worry about anymore if you two are together. I think
you’re far better than Frederick anyway. He completely burned bridges with her, disregarded their prior relationship, and ruined
my daughter’s reputation. That was already bad enough, and he made things worse when he allowed people within the sect to
spread slanderous rumors about her. If our sect had been as strong as theirs, I would have already confronted him and taken
him to task.”
