Eden took a deep breath, drenched in sweat, but she didn’t stop. She continued inserting the needles.When performing the Thirteen Angels’ Breaths technique, she couldn’t afford to pause. All 108 needles had to be placed in one continuous effort.Finally, Eden inserted the last needle.Sinead, who had been pronounced dead, suddenly opened her eyes. Horace, Caelus, and even Sulien stared in disbelief.After a moment of shock, Horace shouted excitedly, "She's alive! She's alive!"Eden, utterly exhausted, forced herself to speak in a weak tone, without her usual sharpness. "Don't tell anyone how I saved her."Horace quickly nodded. "Don't worry. We’ll keep it a secret."Alain noticed how pale she was and frowned. "Are you sure you're alright?"Eden looked up and smiled faintly, her lips colorless. "Not alright. Don’t let anyone disturb me. No doctors."Then, Eden collapsed on the spot.As soon as she fell, Alain rushed forward and caught her in his arms.Without hesitation, he
Eden's bedroom.Eden opened her eyes, her gaze clear. She picked up her phone and checked the time—she had only slept for three days. Usually, after performing the Thirteen Angels' Breaths technique, she would sleep for at least seven.She closed her eyes, focusing her strength in her palm. A white mist appeared, easier to control than before.If she could refine her control further, performing the Thirteen Angels' Breaths wouldn't be so difficult anymore.Eden heard Sinead's voice and decided it was time to get up.As soon as she opened the door, everyone in the living room noticed.Alain, who was replying to a text, put his phone away and stood up, speaking gently. "Let's get you something to eat first."During the three days Eden was asleep, Alain had his personal chef prepare meals daily. If the food got cold, he’d have it remade, ensuring she had something hot to eat when she woke up.Eden, feeling hungry, followed Alain to the dining room.Sinead quickly joined them, bri
For the past three days, Alain had been silently suffering. He was terrified that this time, she might never wake up.Eden had too many secrets, and he constantly feared she might just vanish one day.Eden turned to him and smiled. "I’m feeling great! A carton of beer should be fine."Alain’s expression darkened immediately. "You’ll never see beer in this house again."What the hell?She’d been in a coma for three days!And the first thing she wanted was beer?He’d hidden all of it!Eden was at a loss for words.She rubbed her head and said, "Honestly, alcohol is fine for me."Eden wasn’t a heavy drinker.She just liked to enjoy a drink.Whenever she felt down, alcohol helped lighten the burden on her mind."No!" Alain’s tone left no room for negotiation.Eden nodded. "Fine."She got up, walked over to Sinead, and checked her pulse, placing her hand on Sinead’s wrist.After a moment, Eden withdrew her hand. "She’s fine now. Her internal organs just need time to recover.
Eden rubbed her forehead, struggling to find the right words.She knew that once she used the Thirteen Angels' Breaths, her identity would be revealed.As expected, she couldn’t keep it hidden.She furrowed her brow, looked at Horace, and patted his shoulder, saying magnanimously, "Don’t tell anyone else.""Whoa!" Horace exclaimed. "You really are Nosoi?"Geoffrey and Sinead were so shocked their mouths hung open for quite some time.They had never imagined Eden and Nosoi could be the same person.After all, the rumors described Nosoi as an old man with a terrible temper and an even worse personality.So, despite Eden’s miraculous medical skills, no one had ever thought that she was Nosoi.Who would have guessed that a young woman like Eden was the famous Nosoi?Eden smiled and leaned back on the sofa, saying nothing.Once Horace regained his composure, he stood in front of Eden, studying her. After a long pause, he finally said, "I’ve been so clueless."He finally understo
Jasmine's eyes were swollen from all the crying, her face unbelievably pale.Since the party that night, Edmund hadn’t left the study.He hadn’t eaten or drunk anything in the past three days. If it weren’t for the occasional sound from inside, they would have thought something had happened to him.Jasmine regretted not holding back at the party. She had admitted what she did to Jerred.Now, she was the Hunt family's public enemy. Catherine was sick with anger, her mother cried in her room every day, and her father stayed locked in the study, refusing to leave.Meanwhile, her uncle Edison and his family just stood on the sidelines and laughed.She had become the outcast in her household.Jasmine couldn’t stop the tears from rolling down her cheeks. "Dad, please come out. Even if you can’t forgive me, please eat something. I’m so worried about you. You haven’t eaten in days.""I promise I’ll never do it again," Jasmine cried out. A maid stood nearby, feeling sorry for her.The
Alain’s kiss was intense and forceful. Eden’s body tensed up as her fair face flushed red and her heart raced.There was a faint smell of tobacco on his breath, making her breathing more rapid.Eden responded awkwardly, her body freezing as his fingers traced her clothes, heating every spot they touched. Her eyes locked with Alain’s, and she nearly stopped breathing.There was something captivating about Eden that made it hard for Alain to stop. He kissed her more deeply, his hand slowly moving under her shirt, trying to remove her clothing and reveal what was beneath. His only thought was to make her completely his.Just as he was about to take another step, the doorbell rang.Alain abruptly stopped, panting. He looked at Eden, angry with himself for losing control.He lowered his head and bit her lips softly, his voice hoarse. "Grow up faster, will you?"Alain straightened his clothes and went to answer the door, though the heat within him still lingered.Eden faked a cough,
Edmund looked at Eden in shock. "Wh... Why?"He had never spent much time with Eden and had always found her cold and bad-tempered. Perhaps because she had been abandoned by her mother, she seemed to harbor a deep resentment towards the Hunt family. She had never shown any warmth to Melinda or the Hunts. Her dislike was evident to everyone.Given this, Edmund had expected Eden to make things difficult for him when he came to ask for forgiveness on Jasmine's behalf. Instead, not only was Eden surprisingly easy to talk to, but she also returned the 20% of the company shares she had received from them.He couldn’t understand what Eden’s motives were.Eden bit her lip, then stood up. "I’ll take you somewhere, alright?"She looked at Alain, asking for his approval.Alain hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "Let’s go."Edmund didn’t question where Eden was taking him and simply followed.Horace, Caelus, and Sulien were waiting outside. When Alain and the others emerged, t
Edmund looked at Eden, deep in thought.After a long pause, he slowly said, "So everything you did with the Hunt family was just an act, huh?"Eden smiled and gave Edmund’s shoulder a reassuring pat. "Stay with him a little while longer. We’ll be leaving soon."She didn’t answer his question; there was no need to.-In Rielton, at a lavish mansion, a man in a sharp suit stood by a full-length window, his gaze fixed on the blooming flowers in the garden.The door opened, and another man walked in, taking his place behind him. "Sir."The man at the window asked, still looking outside, "How is the investigation going?""The operative we sent killed himself. We can confirm that Sinead had indeed stopped breathing, but we don’t yet know how she was saved. The hospital has kept a tight lid on the information."After a pause, the underling continued, "It seems you were right, sir. It was Alain’s fiancée. Sinead was saved when she arrived, and I heard she fainted for three days after.
