Hunter tried calling again.He was so anxious that he spun around as he cursed, “Damn it! The only people who can carve such runes are the Jenning family, who is one of the three great ancient families in the capital city! Who else could have the ability to carve runes? Our boss has no enemies in Isonbert, so why would the Jenning family target our boss for no reason?”Orpheus said in a low voice, “There is also a possibility that it’s not the Jenning family who carved this rune, but a person who has the Jenning family’s rune knife!”Hunter was startled before he slapped his thigh and said, “You’re right! That’s possible!”The person who could carve this kind of rune was either the head of the Jenning family himself or someone who had the Jenning family’s rune knife!It was said that there was a special ink in the rune knife for it to take effect. The ink in the rune knife would deplete each time it was used, and the rune knife would eventually lose its effect after the ink was us
”Ahh!”Sienna yelled and rushed forward, reaching out her hand as if she was trying to grab something.An indistinct voice rang in her ears in the distant sky. The voice sounded far away yet near; it was sometimes gentle and sometimes sharp, sometimes hurried and sometimes indignant!Every word was trying desperately to get into Sienna’s ears!The voice was saying—“Do you see it now? Your grandparents obviously called you before the accident. You could have saved their lives if you had answered the call in time!“But you didn’t! You didn’t!“Those passers-by who refused to help and left them to die were certainly cold and ruthless, but the most damned person is you. If it weren’t for you, your grandparents wouldn’t have taken the car to rush home. They would not have met with a car accident on the way then!“Look at your father, who had always been proud of you ever since you were a child. He was an unparalleled hero in your mind! He was a war hero with great achievements in b
Sienna ran desperately. She did not know where she was, and she only relied on her instinct as she tried her best to run toward the southeast corner, which was where she was dying to be. That was the direction of the capital city.“I want to go home… I want to go home…”Sienna’s eyes were scarlet, and her mind was full of the images that she had just seen. Those sorrows and regrets that had been buried deep in her heart for many years were infinitely magnified at this moment. There was only one thought left in her mind.“Home… Home…”She had to rush back to save her father and mother, and she also had to rush back to stop the car accident that her grandparents got into!This way, her grandparents would not have had to lie in a pool of blood and witness their lives fade little by little after the accident.Although there were obviously many passers-by around the scene of the car accident, no one was willing to lend them a hand, and not even a single person was willing to make an
Sienna’s voice was hoarse.She did not know how long she had walked for until she finally fainted after she got drenched in the rain all night and ran out of energy.Harry picked her up in his arms and hugged her tightly, as if he was protecting some rare treasure.“Master Harry!”Only then did Kai, who was behind him, dare to run forward with an umbrella. Harry had long been drenched. He carried Sienna, who was pale, into the car. The heating in the car was sufficient to dispel the chill on his body, but it had no effect on his cold voice, which was filled with monstrous anger and killing intent. “Find out what happened.” Harry said word by word, “I want to know who made her lose control like this.”Kai’s heart dropped. He knew that Harry was really angry this time, so he nodded immediately and responded, “Alright, sir.”…In Lang Garden.Bona had been waiting for more than two hours. During this period of time, she had thought of rushing out to look for Sienna countless t
Harry retreated after sending Sienna to the bathroom door. Only then did Bona heave a sigh of relief. Miss White found a clean set of clothes and went into the bathroom to help.Even though Sienna was in the hot bathtub, her body was still trembling uncontrollably.Bona was very distressed. She squeezed Sienna’s hands gently, as if she was trying to use this method to comfort Sienna a little in her sleep.Although this little comfort was not helpful, it was the best idea that she could come up with at the moment. Miss White was unsure of the situation, so she asked, “What’s wrong with Miss Sienna? Do we need to send her to the hospital?” Bona was silent and did not say anything at first, but after Miss White asked again, the anger in her heart finally exploded. “Miss White, aren’t you clear about the situation yet? The reason why Sienna is like this now is because of that cup of soothing tea!”Bona sniffed. She knew that Miss White accidentally did something bad this time
Bona stepped forward and recounted what had happened today to Harry. She mentioned the things that Jonas sent, the cup of soothing tea that Miss White handed to Sienna, and the fact that Felicity came over to give a fake apology this morning!Bona spoke with an unmistakable tone of certainty. “Isn’t it obvious? Jonas has always obeyed Clara. Why else would that two-faced lackey come and put on an act to pretend to be a brother who is genuinely concerned about his sister in front of Miss White?“Coincidentally, that evil woman, Felicity, also came at the same time when Jonas appeared. She provoked me on purpose to lure me away in order to give Jonas a chance to coax Miss White! So, they are in cahoots, and everything was premeditated!”Bona looked at the faces of the people present and was afraid that they would not believe her, so she added, “Do you know what was in that soothing tea? I’ll tell you—there was something in that cup of soothing tea that would damage the nerves, causi
Bona did not realize that Harry was making her talk as she continued, “It’s not just the soothing tea, but also that set of sapphire jewelry. They have all been carved with psychedelic runes! Hunter said that it would be fine if this rune is carved on an object, but it can kill a person when consumed!”Harry grasped the main point and asked, “You tested it?”“Yes, we tested it.”“Who is Hunter?”“Hunter is Hunter. He is a member of our Flame…” Bona finally came to a realization halfway through her sentence. She covered her mouth tightly, and a trace of panic flashed across her eyes.That was close! She almost revealed everything to him!Bona secretly glanced at Sienna, who was on the bed, and saw that Sienna did not respond. Sienna probably did not hear what she said. Bona kept her mouth shut. She would not be tempted and would not reveal anything else even if Harry were to bribe her with two cartons of candy.In the end, Bona simply ran away, leaving only one sentence behind.
Harry frowned and instructed the person outside the door. “Go and ask Dr. Watte to come back.”“Alright!” Kai answered, then asked his subordinate to drive the car to chase after Dr. Watte.About six or seven minutes later, Dr. Watte, who had already left Lang Garden, came back in a hurry.“Oh, she’s down with a rather high fever. How did her fever reach 39-degree in such a short period of time?’Dr. Watte looked at the number on the thermometer, and as he rummaged through the medical kit, he said, “This is for cooling. Just put it on her forehead. In fact, she actually needs to take some antipyretics orally, but since she's unconscious, I’ll hang an IV drip for her first. If her condition still doesn’t improve tomorrow…”‘I’m afraid that she’ll have brain damage then.’ Dr. Watte paused, and he did not dare to say the latter part of the sentence under Harry’s watchful eyes.After the IV drip was hung, Dr. Watte instructed again, “Someone has to keep watch over her condition
