Zhen-Zhen didn't know what was going to happen now. Even Liam who was supposed to help Tristan was now injured. She gathered him in her arms with a worried look in her eyes.
"Liam…" her voice trembled as she didn't know what to do.
Liam was still conscious. He hated to see her looking so scared like this. He wanted to endure the pain for Zhen-Zhen's sake.
The blood was gushing out of his wound. He felt weakened but he needed to remain conscious as Zhen-Zhen needed his help.
"Lillie…" he tried to sit up, gathering all his strength. "Let's go to Tristan. He needs my help right?"
Zhen-Zhen nodded her head, but her blue eyes were still covered with worries.
"You have to treat your wound also. You are injured," Zhen-Zhen said in a low voice, pressing her hand over Liam's wound at his back.
Deep inside, she wanted to force him to heal Tristan. For once, she wanted to be selfish. But… she couldn't do that to Liam because he protected her.
Zhen-Zhen was conflicted. Her tears just fell from the corners of her eyes as she already felt helpless. Tristan was in great danger.
Would it be too much to ask Liam to heal him even though he was also injured?
However, even if Zhen-Zhen would not voice it out, Liam could somehow understand her feelings. He wanted to help her. He didn't want to see her in this sorry state.
"Don't worry about me. I'm a healer so I can also treat my wound. Let's teleport to Tristan now. Can you help me?"
Zhen-Zhen felt so grateful to Liam. He was so willing to help her and Tristan. Without further ado, Zhen-Zhen teleported back to Mt. Calypso.
Little did she know that Liam exhausted too much magical power after opening the portal. He was also weakened now as he was stabbed by the divine dagger.
Liam was also in a dire situation. His life was also dependent on his healing ability. But at his current condition, the effectiveness of his healing ability was at his lowest.
That's the reason he was reserving the remaining power and energy he had to heal Tristan. He didn't want to waste his healing ability on himself.
He thought he would be happy to be with Zhen-Zhen once Tristan would be gone. But now that they were facing this situation, Liam couldn't bear to see her crying because of Tristan.
He knew how important Tristan was to Zhen-Zhen. He felt somehow responsible for this since he failed to stop Mheera. She was the one who hurt Tristan and tried to kill Zhen-Zhen.
As the previous guardian leader, Liam should have done an action to discipline Mheera and others. But he failed to do it and now Mheera harmed an innocent person.
Seconds later, Liam and Zhen-Zhen arrived at Mt. Calypso. They saw Zu Wan still trying to stop the bleeding while transferring his energy force to Tristan.
Through this, Zu Wan was slowing down the adverse effect of the divine dagger in Tristan's body. But it was still harmful to Tristan and his life force was weakening every passing second.
Zhen-Zhen assisted Liam as they approached Tristan. Zu Wan was surprised to see Liam. His expression darkened as he already knew that Liam was part of guardian warriors.
If not for Zhen-Zhen's request, he wouldn't let him get near them. He hated guardian warriors. And because of this incident, he loathed them more.
Both Zhen-Zhen and Liam kneeled next to Tristan. She immediately held his cold hand as she asked her father about his condition.
"How's Tristan, Fa-Fa?" Her eyes were burned with tears.
Zu Wan's heart was like being pierced right now just seeing Zhen-Zhen crying with full of worry. He wanted to comfort her but he didn't know how to. He just wished he was the one who got hurt, not Tristan.
"His life force is weakening. I can't stop the adverse effect of the divine dagger from spreading throughout his system. He is still in danger. I don't have any healing ability. All I can do is to transfer my energy to him to strengthen his weak body."
Zhen-Zhen became more worried about her husband. Her only hope now was Liam. She glanced at Liam who was trying to maintain his composure despite the intense pain brought by his wound.
He began treating Tristan, putting his arms over his chest. It did not take long when white light illuminated from his palms.
Zu Wan, Zhen-Zhen, FaMo, and Miho were now putting their hope in Liam, trusting him that he would be able to heal Tristan.
Beads of sweat started to form on Liam's forehead. He had just started but he felt like his energy was being drained so fast.
He didn't know how long he would last. While he was treating Tristan, his body was suffering from his own injury. He could only maintain his consciousness and stay awake because of his willpower and his motivation to help Zhen-Zhen.
Then he realized, he who was a supernatural being was experiencing this excruciating pain, how much more Tristan who was just an ordinary human?
But Liam's power has limits. His body was now weakened. He wasn't even certain whether his healing ability had an effect on Tristan whose condition was not showing any improvement at all.
Liam darted his gaze between Tristan and Zhen-Zhen. He could feel the fear she was experiencing right now. Zhen-Zhen was not emotionally stable as well and it could also affect her children.
'I need to save Tristan… for Lillie's sake.' Liam was trying his best to motivate himself. Zhen-Zhen needed him. He didn't want to fail her or disappoint her. He was willing to sacrifice his own life for Zhen-Zhen's happiness.
And now, Liam confirmed how much he loved Zhen-Zhen. He realized how deep he fell for her.
'Lillie… I'm sorry… I failed to prevent this from happening. I'm sorry for putting you and Tristan in this predicament… It's my fault–'
Liam's body already gave up as he collapsed without finishing his treatment for Tristan.
"Liam!!!"
