The Greatest Master
Treatment Techniques

Maybe goodbye isn't the first time for Nichole. He had experienced the same feeling before.

"Ansell, why are you quiet?" nichole asked, lifting Ansell's chin. Ansell stared at him intensely, as if he was going away and not coming back.

Ansell stared at Nichole without saying anything. He hasn't spent a long time with Nichole, but he has to go again.

"Yes, I'll go long .. and maybe quite dangerous," Ansell replied heavily. He was increasingly agitated at the change in Nichole's expression.

However, Ansell did have to leave this time. He had to investigate the Ocean Island to see who was really behind them and wanted to measure their strength. Moreover, Victor had already allowed it.

Ansell also wanted to find out the cause of Daniel's death and that of his subordinates. Especially with some changes in his body.

"Where are you going?" ask Nichole. His voice was like holding back a cry. His face also looks sad.

Ansell thought for a moment.

If he hadn't told Nichole, Nichole would have been disappointed and desperate to find out for herself. However, if he told Nichole, he would be even more worried.

"Can I not tell you?" ansell asked softly, trying to persuade Nichole.

Nichole looked at Ansell seriously, "Are you really going to leave me without telling me where you are? Then why are you telling me all this? Do you still see our engagement?"

Ansell let out a light breath.

Actually, he did not have enough preparation to leave. This time Ansell was in a hurry. However, his heart said that he should leave immediately. If not, he'll miss something.

"I'm going to Ocean Island" Ansell replied, deciding to tell her fiance.

"Ocean Island? Where is the island? Why is the island dangerous?" asked Nichole, who was not surprised.

Ansell was astonished. He just remembered if not everyone knew about the Ocean Island and the dangers in it. Most of the people who knew were either masters or people in the dark world.

"I remember the first time we met, you took a bullet out of my body. You look very expert. However, you can treat me without leaving a scar. How'd you do it?" ansell asked, trying to switch the conversation.

Nichole turned her gaze upwards while thinking. Then, he answered Ansell, "Come. I don't remember too much either. I remember a long time ago I loved medicine. The scar problem, I just gave him the powder made by my family."

The family?

Ansell asked inwardly.

Ansell has never met the Nichole family. When they were fiancees there were no Nichole parents, let alone Ansell's parents. Their guardian at the time was only Ansell's second aunt.

"Who did you study medicine with? Do you have any other treatment techniques?" ask Ansell curious.

"Ehm, I have a lot of medicinal techniques. I have my family's inheritance book. Do you want to see? I'll look for it first" Nichole replied without hesitation. He got up and walked to his closet.

Nichole took out a large box that had been under the closet. Then, he began to unpack the contents of the box.

Ansell who was getting curious started to approach him. He looked at the stuff Nichole had taken out. He looked at the little photos of Nichole one by one and smiled. He also looked at the old book that was already a bit brownish in color.

After Ansell saw the whole thing, she didn't find a single photo of Nichole's parents. However, Ansell flinched and said, "Nichole, I didn't see any pictures of your parents."

Nichole's initially agile movement while unpacking the box, suddenly came to a halt. In fact, he did not turn his body. Ansell cursed herself in her heart. Nichole was always like this when he brought up his parents.

"I'm sorry, Nichole" Ansell said in a heartfelt apology. However, there was no answer from Nichole after all this time.

"Nichole?" Ansell touched his shoulder. Just then, he felt Nichole's body shake. Nichole is crying.

Ansell hugged him tightly. He rubbed his hair and back gently, peeked at his head many times, and apologized with his tulu.

"Sorry, Ansell" said Nichole, still sobbing.

"I was wrong. I'm sorry, "Ansell replied, wiping away the remaining tears on Nichole's cheek.

Nichole shook his head and said, "I'm the one who should apologize. All these years I've been avoiding and never telling stories about my parents. Ii'm sorry. I always ask you to be honest."

"If you're not ready, that's okay" Ansell said.

Nichole shook her head again, but this time without saying anything. He got up and walked towards the nightstand beside his bed. He took the necklace that he had previously taken off when he was going to take a shower earlier.

"Isn't that your favorite necklace?" ask Ansell.

Nichole nodded, "Right. But do you know why I love this necklace so much?"

Ansell.

Nichole opened the necklace and showed Ansell the contents, "This is a picture of my parents."

Ansell accepted and looked at it.

"My mother died giving birth to me. I lived with my father for years. But when I was 20, my father left me. Surprisingly, from then on my memories seemed to disappear. I can't remember my memories with my dad clearly. There are only a few parts that I can still remember, like the story just now" Nichole explained. This time she did not cry anymore.

Ansell froze looking at the photo.

"This ...he is your father and mother?" ansell asked in disbelief.

"really. I haven't seen them in a long time" Nichole replied. His eyes looked straight out the window.

Their situation became quiet. Nichole with her own thoughts and Ansell with her own confusion. In fact, the sounds of the night beasts were also inaudible, as if supporting their silence.

"Ansell, why do you look surprised?" asked Nichole who first opened his voice after the gripping state of silence earlier.

"I was just surprised to finally find out about your parents" Ansell replied. He looks like he just breathed.

"Ehm, then I'll take you to see my father when he comes back. All this time I'm sure dad will be back, he just left me temporarily" Nichole said with a firm smile.

Ansell nodded and put the necklace back on Nichole, "You have to take good care of this necklace."

Nichole smiled warmly.

"Ah, I forgot. I still have to find that book for you. I hope you can also study medicine so you can save yourself when you're in danger" said Nichole, who rushed back to dismantle the big box.

Ansell doesn't follow him anymore. He sat in bed and pensive. Nichole is busy with the box.

"I finally found this book!" exciting Nichole. He got up excited and approached Ansell.

"Look. This book looks very old-fashioned, but it's actually very useful, hahaha," Nichole laughed to melt the atmosphere.

Ansell was stunned to see the book. An ancient book with hundreds of pages, whose cover is made of leather and paper made of wood. In fact, the writing inside the book was also carved.

"This book is precious" Ansell murmured as she began to open one page at a time. The more he opened the further, the more stunned he was.

"You can take him. You should study medicine before you leave. You have to prepare yourself carefully" Nichole said.

Ansell looked up at him and smiled. Nichole never changed. He always supported whatever Ansell would do.

"Good!" ansell replied excitedly.
