reated Him

With a wall separating them, Joseph turned off the light and quietly looked at the ceiling.

In the darkness, his eyes were still sharp and bright, with a hint

of coldness.

He thought of how when Lucille treated him during the day, he had exposed the scars on his body in front of her. At the time, he asked her whether she was afraid or not. The girl replied to him in a firm and natural tone that there was nothing to be

afraid of.

However, if she knew where these scars came from, she would probably regard him as the head of all evil, just like everyone else did.noveldrama

Joseph closed his eyes.

When he recalled those bloody battles, he suddenly felt as if he were in a dream. It had all happened many years ago, but the only thing that had never disappeared was the black hole behind him.

The gravity of it was pulling him in little by little.

Some day, he would be dragged in, and then he would lose his. life to it...

Joseph rolled onto his side.

Lucille's faint scent lingered on the pillow and blanket, which was extremely pleasant. Gradually, the chaos in his mind

inexplicably calmed down, and the frown on his face eventually

The next morning, the sky was bright.

Lucille got up early. She ran up the mountain alone, facing the mist inside, and completed her physical training totally unfazed.

When she went down the mountain and returned to Madam

Grant's house, she found that Master Walton was standing in the yard with his hands clasped behind his back, as if he was waiting for her.

"Master Walton, what's wrong?"

""Miss Bambo!"

Upon seeing Lucille, Master Walton was so excited that he immediately blurted, "There's something urgent going on! Dr. Harrison and I went to the neighboring village yesterday to treat an old lady, right? When I got there, I found that the old lady was just an ordinary patient, so I gave her some treatment

and two doses of medicine."

He continued, "At the time, the old lady's condition was almost

stabilized. As a result, early this morning, people in her village came to tell me that the old lady's hysteria had gotten even more serious. She seemed to have gone crazy and ran around shouting!"

He requested, "Why don't you come with me to have a look,

Miss Bambo?"

"Okay. Let's go now."

Lucille motioned for Master Walton to bring his medicine kit. She turned around and was about to leave.

When Madam Grant saw this, she raised her voice and yelled," You haven't had breakfast yet, Miss Lucille. You can't walk while hungry. How about this? Give me two minutes. I'll pack some food for you to eat on the way." Madam Grant moved quickly. In the blink of an eye, she placed a few sandwiches into Lucille's hands.

The food was warm.

"Thank you, Madam Grant."

Lucille took it and looked upstairs. She happened to see Joseph coming out of the room and standing on the balcony.

The man stood tall and straight, and his handsome face was extremely eye-catching.

He was noble and had a strong aura.

Master Walton was stunned for a moment and asked in

surprise, "Why are you here, Mr. Joseph?"

After saying that, Master Walton felt that his words seemed to be nonsensical.

Joseph's fiancee was there. Why wouldn't he have come?

Lucille pondered for a moment, then looked up at Joseph and asked, "Do you want to come with me?"

She was worried that the old lady's condition might be a little tricky. If she could not make it back that night, she would not be able to treat Joseph. That being the case, it would be better if they went together. That way, she could at least make sure he got his daily treatment.

However, as soon as she said that, Master Walton obviously misunderstood. Even his gaze on her and Joseph was full of excitement.

Lucille was speechless. She didn't know what to say.

Joseph had a subtle smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with joy.

He went downstairs and ordered Culver to drive.

They had come in a modified off-road vehicle, so it was not difficult to drive up the mountain road.

At the sight of that, Master Walton's eyes lit up. "That's a good car! Now, we can save some time."

The shortcut to the neighboring village required them to climb over a mountain. If they were to drive, they would have to take a detour. However, driving was still comparatively faster than going on foot.

Most importantly, they wouldn't have to exhaust themselves.

Just like that, Lucille, Joseph, and Master Walton got into the car one after another..

Culver followed the map and went back and forth on the

mountain road for 40 minutes before arriving at the small village.

Master Walton couldn't help but sigh. "Yesterday, I climbed for

two and a half hours. I nearly fell apart on the mountain. We got here in a flash thanks to you, Miss."
