Calvin nodded. "Yeah. Edna told me that their brainwashing spell can only be undone by the person who cast it. No one else can break it."If you don't listen to Tina, you'll be in unbearable pain, and the only way to find relief is by consuming the blood of someone you love into your very being."So, Tina had to stay alive. Otherwise, Margot would be the one suffering."I'm going to the hotel to find that woman."Curtis couldn't accept the situation and angrily got up with the intention of going to the hotel to find Tina.He absolutely could not hurt Margot anymore."Curtis ."Watching Curtis' actions, Margot shouted, "Don't go see that person! As long as it keeps you well, I'm willing to give you my blood every day if that's what you need."They were a married couple, so they should share both the good times and the bad times together. Plus, she would never abandon him, no matter what."Margot, I can compromise on anything. I'm willing to listen to you, but I would never agre
Anthony and Lena were at a loss for what to do with Tina, who was already deceased, so they had Chester take care of her.The two of them then went back to the hospital.At that moment, Curtis was still acting normally, but Margot's neck injury was quite serious. Thus, he gave his own bed to Margot and stayed nearby to keep watch.In the past couple of days, Margot hadn't been able to sleep because of Curtis. Now that Curtis was with her, she was finally able to get some rest.Knowing that Margot was busy with his matters, Curtis quickly got up to see what was happening when he heard a noise at the door.When Anthony and Lena returned, he gestured for them to go outside to talk.Anthony glanced toward the hospital ward and asked Curtis, "Where's Margot?"Curtis replied, "She hasn't slept for several days, but she's finally resting now. Let's not disturb her and let her get some good sleep."He then asked, "What happened? Is that woman really dead?"Anthony had a serious expres
Lena softened her tone after she noticed the hospital ward door being closed, then glanced at Anthony sitting next to her. "Think about it. If someone is planning to do something bad in secret, can those in the open really prevent it?"Curtis loves Margot so much that he probably wouldn't intentionally let someone cast a spell on him."I know he didn't do it on purpose, but I just feel sorry for Margot. If this brainwashing spell isn't broken, it's only going to hurt Margot."Lena sat down and reached out to hold hands with Anthony."Let's brainstorm some more. There's always a way. Isn't Curtis' aunt in Koronia? Let's have her gather more information over there to see if there's any possible solution," Lena suggested.Anthony looked at Lena and sighed. "Isn't Edna just like Tina? Even she couldn't do anything. No one can do anything even if Curtis' aunt found someone."It seems like you understand the dangers of this brainwashing spell better than I do. Do you think there's a wa
After knocking out Curtis, Calvin caught Margot, who lost consciousness and almost fainted.Seeing the blood continuously flowing from her wrist, he frantically tried to apply pressure while shouting toward the outside of the hospital ward, "Someone, come here quickly!"Upon hearing the shouting, the nurses quickly rushed over. They, along with Calvin, helped carry Margot to the bed and swiftly worked to stop her bleeding.Curtis, after getting punched, leaned to the side with an unstable balance. He gradually returned to normal after tasting Margot's blood.He stood there in shock, unable to believe that just a moment ago, he had lashed out at Margot once again.Curtis could still faintly taste blood at the corner of his lips. He raised his hand to wipe it, and the sight of the bright red blood on his hand stung his eyes.In the next second, he quickly dashed out of the bathroom. As he watched the doctors and nurses working tirelessly to stop Margot's bleeding, he felt dazed and
Calvin politely escorted the doctor to the door.After returning, with a sullen expression, he looked at Curtis, who was sitting next to Margot and said, "Relying on painkillers isn't a long-term solution. Maybe it's better for the two of you to separate for now."Margot quickly used her good hand to grab Curtis and said, "I won't leave him! I want to stay with him all the time. Calvin, I'm sorry to trouble you, but could you please prepare some pig liver for me to eat when you get home?"While eating, I'll draw blood for Curtis and set it aside. Next time he has an episode, I'll just give him that to drink, so we won't have a repeat of today's situation."Today was unexpected. She had gotten a bit too anxious, which was how her wrist ended up in Curtis' mouth.Having learned from past experiences, she wouldn't make the same mistake again next time. It was fine if Curtis wanted to bite her finger, let alone her wrist."Edna mentioned that your blood can only provide temporary rel
Calvin agreed to let Anthony find Branden. Anthony went to the hospital ward to call Lena, wanting to take her with him.However, Lena didn't want to go. Standing in the corridor and looking at Anthony, she said, "I want to stay and keep Margot company. Can you go by yourself?"She still remembered the moment before she descended the mountain when she saw Branden for the last time.If she truly cared about Branden's well-being, she should avoid seeing him again."Alright. Since both Natalie and Edna aren't here and there's no one around to personally take care of Margot, you stay here and look after her. I'll go find your master now.""Okay. Take care on the road," Lena reminded.Only she knew how much she wanted to follow Anthony up the mountain and how much she longed to see Branden and Lilac.However, she had to follow Branden's wishes and keep her distance from him. If they couldn't meet in this life anymore, then it was best not to meet at all.She wished Branden could liv
"Alright. I'm going to sleep," Margot said.Curtis nodded. "Okay."Maybe it was because Calvin and Lena were with her that Margot, who had lost a lot of blood, quickly fell asleep.Once she fell asleep, Curtis gently placed her hand under the blanket and stood up to look at Calvin."Let's go outside and talk," he said.Calvin looked at Margot with concern. After following Curtis out of the hospital ward, he turned to look at him."What are you thinking?" Calvin asked.Curtis pressed his lips together, and his eyes reddened as he said, "I'll listen to you and separate from Margot. If my condition doesn't get better, then just keep giving me painkillers. Just make sure Margot doesn't have to draw blood for me.""But if you don't have a constant supply of blood, you will always be in a state of suffering. Taking too many painkillers can also be fatal," Calvin said."If Margot keeps donating blood for me, she won't be able to handle it either."Curtis looked at Calvin and said, "
Calvin hesitated as he looked into Curtis' gaze, who was unwavering in his determination to be hypnotized.He pulled away from Curtis' hand and said, "I told you to wait until Anthony comes back."If Branden was unsuccessful and couldn't prevent Curtis from suffering, the only remaining option was hypnosis.Otherwise, what else could be done? They couldn't just stand by and watch Curtis suffer or watch him and Margot split up, right?Seeing that Calvin agreed, Curtis finally felt at ease.They returned to the hospital ward, and then they stayed by Margot's bedside, waiting for her to wake up.Margot didn't dare to sleep for too long. She was worried that if she woke up too late, Curtis' condition might worsen again. Thus, she only slept for two hours.When she opened her eyes, she saw that Curtis was indeed sitting beside her and holding her hand.Margot quickly sat up and asked, "You haven't started to get a headache yet, have you?"Curtis shook his head and said, "No. Why ar
Curtis didn't argue with her, and instead, he took her hand and led her inside.Margot noticed that despite Curtis' stern demeanor, he still showed care for her through his actions. She smiled knowingly and playfully asked while walking beside him, "What, can't find me at certain times and you're worried I ran off with someone else?"Curtis glanced at her and scoffed."Would you dare? If you dare run off with someone else, I'll break your legs."Despite speaking harsh words, the expression on the face and the gaze in the eyes directed at Margot were so gentle, it seemed as if they could bring forth tears.Margot listened to his violent words and stared at him, "Say it again, whose legs are you going to break?"Curtis was standing there. Although he still had a bit of presence, his facial expression already showed defeat.Before he could try to please his wife again, Margot had already brushed past him and slipped through the mansion's front doors.While running, he shouted, "An
So Gabriel had to personally drive her wherever she needed to go.Curtis listened to the two people and narrowed his eyes again."Who else?""Anthony."Anthony?Curtis was momentarily taken aback.Then, he saw Anthony coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying a plate, and walking into the dining room.He set down his coat and told Luna, "You sit, I'll go help.""Go ahead."Curtis followed into the kitchen and saw that Anthony and Gabriel were acting as if they were in their own home, helping themselves to whatever they wanted to eat and making it themselves.He also felt a bit embarrassed and walked over, saying, "It's not right to have you cook since you're visiting, let me do it instead."Gabriel glanced at him and said, "We all treat you like one of us, so why are you being so formal with us?"Anthony responded, "I'm making it for my wife, after all, she only eats the food that I make."Curtis shook his head helplessly.They were showing off their relatio
Margot and Lena turned their heads at the same time.Jordan was dressed in a British-style uniform with a backpack. At eight years old, he stood around four feet tall. His smile was like a little ray of sunshine and could really brighten anyone's day.He shouted, "Mom, Aunt Lena, did you come specifically to pick me up?"Every time Margot heard Jordan call her "mom," it filled her heart with warmth.She raised her hand to give him a hug, gently ruffled his hair, and said, "Of course I'm here to pick you up, get in the car.""It's been a month since I last saw you, and you've grown taller."Lena pulled Jordan onto the vehicle and started driving.Sitting in the car, Jordan couldn't help but smile as he looked at his senior.Lena looked at him and smiled, "Living here, how does it compare to being up in the mountains?"Jordan's eyes landed on Margot, filled with warmth and joy."Wherever my mom and dad are, I feel is the best place. Of course, I'm not saying that being with Mas
Margot greeted them with a smile, saying, "I thought you two would be quietly enjoying your romantic time at the estate. I didn't expect you'd come over to see us!"Lena reached out and gently pinched Louis' round cheeks, then looked at Margot and said, "You keep saying that, but you're not working, so why don't you come visit us?""I'm at home taking care of the kids. You have no idea how challenging it is.""Heh, you're just unfairly blaming Louis. Our little Louis is clearly very well-behaved."Lena ignored Margot and couldn't help but give Louis a couple of kisses after picking him up.Anthony walked over and asked, "Where is everyone else?"Margot motioned for them to come over and sit down, then poured them some water."Natalie just had her baby not long ago, and my in-laws went with Natalie's parents and the others to visit the babies, and they're also going to visit Dad."Whenever Anthony talked about his oblivious elderly father, he got frustrated.He didn't ask any m
Frederick, exuding the presence of the head of the family, welcomed the arriving in-laws with a smile.Afterwards, he behaved well and didn't mention anything about Yasmine, nor did he cause any trouble with his sons.The in-laws were very careful not to mention Frederick's injury, as they didn't want to hurt his pride.Daniel saw how lively it was at home and decided to bring Ena's mother over so that the in-laws could take the opportunity to get to know each other better.In the days that followed, everyone got along very well.In Amberville, Alice Manor.Anthony and Lena were enjoying a peaceful and romantic time together here. No one was bothering them, and they were not going out to work.The two of them spent the entire day cozied up at home.It involved either snacking while watching a movie or playing games followed by some cuddling and kissing.Anthony often made delicious food for Lena and took care of her so well that she seemed completely pampered.This caused Len
"If you won't let me bring her into the family, fine, I'll set up a large estate elsewhere. When the time comes, I won't let you in either."Daniel felt that his father was quite childish.He chuckled and said, "How about this, once the guests leave, I'll take you back to Yasmine. Then you can tell her that you've cut all ties with us and you want nothing. At that point, Yasmine is still willing to stay by your side and take care of you, then we'll do as you wish. How about that?Regarding the greedy Coran siblings, it was important to know that their father didn't have anything valuable left on him, and they wouldn't gain any benefits either.It would be surprising if she still stayed by Frederick's side."Don't underestimate people; Yasmine's love for me is genuine."Frederick didn't want to bet with Daniel.Human nature was something that shouldn't be gambled on.Daniel laughed again. "Are you afraid of losing, Dad?"Frederick stared at Daniel and said, "When have I ever be
Yasmine was not happy when she heard she would be left alone.She knelt beside Frederick, holding his hand and pleading desperately, "Frederick, you can't do this. You can't leave me here alone. If you leave, they'll treat me badly again, just like before. Can you take me with you? Even if it's just to be your nanny, I'm begging you!"Frederick could not stand seeing women cry.When Yasmine pleaded like that, he softened and turned to look at Daniel.Daniel, with a blank expression, said, "Dad, do you really want your in-laws to see you like this?"Frederick also looked upset and said in a serious tone:"Couldn't you say she's my nanny? Who would know?""We have kids at home, do they lie?"Frederick had no choice but to turn to Yasmine and said, "Just stay here. They won’t dare bother you again. I'm leaving now."He raised his hand to signal Daniel to push the wheelchair.Daniel pushed the wheelchair forward.However, Yasmine was unwilling and tried to stop it again.The he
"Are we supposed to live here for the rest of our lives? Even if we have to stay here, at least give us the freedom to come and go as we please."Look at how they've sent so many people to watch over us again, clearly treating us like prisoners."Noticing that Frederick's expression was starting to soften, Yasmine continued to stoke the fire."Tell me, is there any way sons should be treating their father like this? They just want to drive you to your limits so they can split up your assets. Frederick, you can't let them have their way, or else you'll spend your whole life working tirelessly for them only to end up in such a miserable situation. How pitiable that would be.Frederick was speechless.He didn't want to go back. But if he did, his sons would have to treat him with great respect.He hoped that Calvin would bring the military seal, and it had been two days now, yet they still hadn't delivered it to him.Was he really planning on not giving it to him?As soon as he th
She ignored him, and Tommy didn't take the initiative to talk to her either to avoid making her overthink.After sitting in the living room for a while, he waited for all the members of the Crosby family to come downstairs. Once they did, he followed them to the dining room for a meal.As soon as Tommy arrived, Laura put down her fork, got up, and without looking back, said, "Enjoy your meal, I'm heading to the university.""Heading out so early?" Ashley asked.However, she didn't respond and slipped out the door directly.Elias said, "There's an exam coming up, so she's been very focused. She goes in early every day."Curtis and the others didn't seem to mind and invited Tommy to sit down.Only Margot knew why Laura walked so quickly.It was because Tommy was here.Laura had a crush on this big celebrity, and since she couldn't be with him, it was naturally difficult for her to interact with him further.So it was completely understandable that she avoided him whenever she s
