What Jonathan didn’t know was that ever since Eden and Alain got together, she had become less and less violent.Violence no longer held much meaning for her.As long as no one threatened her, she wouldn’t get into trouble herself. But the Aradias had crossed the line.They would pay the price for that.Eden had just reached the door when it swung open. A subordinate entered and, seeing Eden, immediately approached her. "Boss, there are two people here who want to see you.""Who are they?" Eden asked, surprised.It was unusual for people to come looking for her here."I don’t know their names, but one of them is severely injured and unconscious. They’re here for your help. It looks like they are being pursued and made it to Estburg," the subordinate replied.Eden was silent for a moment before saying, "Since they’re here, protect them. Get them to the hospital and make sure they get home safely.""Understood." The subordinate nodded and headed downstairs.Eden decided not to
Before Sulien could even finish speaking, Eden had already dashed off and vanished into the distance.Sulien stared at the spot where Eden had disappeared, bewildered. What had just happened? A figure had vanished right in front of him.When Jonathan, who had come down after Eden, heard Sulien's report, he quickly ordered his subordinates, shock evident on his face, "Quick! Reinforce the entrance!"As Sulien watched everyone rush off, he was left unsure of what to do. What about Alain? Should they still go to the hospital?As he was hesitating, Eden returned and said, "Get him to the hospital. Don’t touch the needles. Operate on him and remove the bullets. I'll handle everything else."Eden realized she was overwhelmed with worry. It was at least twenty minutes to the entrance. No matter how fast she was, she couldn’t get there faster than the car.She couldn’t find Caelus. After giving him a call, she found out that he had parked the car in the lot. With Sulien’s intelligence, t
When Horace saw what happened, he gulped. Eden was already as skilled as Alain in combat.When Alain was at his peak, five hundred enemies wouldn’t have been a challenge.But the thing was…Eden was a woman!A nineteen-year-old woman!How could she be so powerful?Horace was still in shock when Jonathan finally arrived with his men. Jonathan barely blinked at the sight of the people lying on the ground. He approached Eden calmly and asked, "How should we deal with the survivors, boss?"As Eden’s second-in-command, Jonathan was well aware that Eden had personally incapacitated them, rendering their arms and legs useless. It was a common punishment she handed out.Thanks to her medical expertise, Eden was extremely knowledgeable about human anatomy. She could kill someone without them even realizing it.However, Eden would normally not kill. She had once explained to Jonathan that her mentor had taught her to use her skills to save lives and only take lives when absolutely neces
Normally, Eden didn’t have to personally handle what was happening at the entrance of the city.However, when she heard that Alain was severely injured because of the pursuit, something inside her snapped. Her fury burst forth.She wanted to avenge Alain. She wanted them all to suffer a fate worse than death.Eden’s movements were very light. Although anesthetic was already applied, she still worked gently, as if worried it might hurt him.After Eden had finished the stitching, she asked the other doctors to leave, having only Sulien stay behind."Ever trained in traditional medicine?" Eden asked after getting out of her scrubs."Not formally, but I have read books on traditional medicine," Sulien said obediently, completely impressed by her.Eden nodded. "I’ll teach you a needling technique. You do it."The needling technique was very risky, so Eden should be the one doing it.However, it required a lot of stamina to perform. After what happened that day, Eden didn’t have the
Caelus didn't dawdle and went straight to work.Eden also didn't spend much time outside and quickly returned to the surgery theater.Sulien had just finished placing the needle in the final point as shown by Eden earlier. As soon as Eden came back inside, she mentioned another point on Alain's body.Sulien continued without a break.The two worked well together.Caelus was very efficient. In less than eight minutes, he had gathered and brought all the needles.Luckily, the hospital had a traditional medicine department, and some of the more veteran doctors preferred needling techniques. It wasn’t hard to find the needles.As time went by, the anesthetics on Alain wore off, and he woke up.The needling was still in progress.When he opened his eyes, he saw Eden instructing Sulien on where to place the needles with a solemn expression.Her face was clean and unblemished. Alain smiled and wanted to pull her hand, but Eden growled at him instead. "Don't move!"Alain suddenly st
Eden gave Melinda a cold glare before leaving.Melinda stood there with a red face, struck speechless. She then went to the ward with Catherine."Mr. Geoffrey, Mrs. Ward, we're here to visit Alain," Catherine said, her family behind her. When she saw Geoffrey and Sinead, she lowered her pride.Sinead looked at her without any expression, but because of Eden, she responded coolly. "Thank you."Catherine glanced at Melinda, signaling her to bring out the gifts they had prepared.Melinda placed the gifts on the table and stood behind Catherine, trying her best to look graceful.However, Sinead wasn’t even looking at her.If Catherine weren’t here, Sinead wouldn’t have even glanced at Melinda."I don't know what Alain likes, so I bought him some fruits. I hope you don't mind," Catherine said with a smile, respect evident in her tone."There's no need for gifts. Your presence alone is enough. Alain has just finished his surgery and won’t be able to have these. I don’t want them to
Catherine didn’t expect Sinead to like Eden that much.An ill-mannered country girl with a wild streak... Just what had caught Sinead's eye?Why did they ask for Jasmine at first for the marriage? Not only did they not become angry after switching to Eden, but they also adored her so much."Catherine, if there's nothing else, please go home. Alain is still resting, so I don't want him to be disturbed," Sinead said coldly, glancing at Catherine before sitting down with no expression on her face.Geoffrey remained silent the whole time.There was no need for him to speak to those at the level of the Hunt family."We'll be heading back now," Catherine bowed and led the others home.No one else from the Hunt family said anything.After they had left, Sinead looked away and snorted. "They think they can hide their intentions from me. They have never treated Eden well before, but now they want us to invest in their family for her sake. How ridiculous."Geoffrey peeled an orange for
The Aradia family's residence.Solus had been waiting all night. The subordinates he sent never returned.At first, he wasn't worried. However, as time passed, he became more and more anxious.Finally, at midnight, Solus couldn't sit still any longer with no news.He immediately called his subordinate. "Investigate what's going on and why there's no news yet. Why do they need so much time dealing with a high schooler?"Before he could end the call, a loud explosion came from outside."What the hell!" Solus hung up and walked downstairs. "It's the middle of the night! Someone has a death wish or something?"Laudes was also shaken by the noise and followed Solus down the stairs.When Laudes saw the crowd forming downstairs, she shrank.Solus narrowed his eyes. These were not his subordinates!If someone wanted to exact vengeance on him, there was nothing he could do."Tress!" Solus said to his butler. "Take Laudes away now."Before Tress could say anything, a cold voice came
