Chapter 223
If I hadn’t seen it with my own
y own eyes, I would never have imagined how shocking the scene could be.
The timing was impeccable–their arrival was perfectly synchronized, and the ambulance appeared just in time.
Had it not been for dalys, even if they had called for help, it would have taken a while for the ambulance to arrive. By that time, the person would have already bled out and died
She really is like a prophet, calmly arranging everything in advance Francis said, his gaze full of complexity.
Freya stood there, watching the vehicle, her eyes following the ambulance as it drove away
“Right! It must be the talisman. Didn’t Odalys give Stellan a talisman? Could the golden light we saw earlier have come from it? The second explosion happened yet Stellan didn’t seem hurt.” Freya was practically bursting with excitement.
She desperately wanted to meet Odalys right now,
“Probably I wish I had asked her for one too. Francis said, a trace of regret in his voice.
To survive such a crash and explosion–imagine how powerful that talisman must be. If he had one, maybe he wouldn’t have to worry about someone targeting his organs.
“Wait Odalys hung up” Selah snapped back to reality.
She noticed the call had been disconnected without them realizing.
The three of them exchanged glances, and when they turned around, they realized a crowd of reporters had gathered behind them. It seemed they had all arrived at just the right time.
“Should we go back, or head to the hospital Francis asked, holding the keys to Stellan’s RV. He was responsible for driving them back to the city
“Let’s go to the hospital. I want to see what happens next. Besides, my family’s fine. Freya said quickly.
Selah nodded in agreement. Tve canceled my contract. I don’t need to report back to the company. Just depends if you have time.”
“I can’t go back to my place either, afraid that woman might show up. Let’s go to the hospital then” Francis said.
The group put on masks, looking rather disheveled, and climbed into the car. They drove off, following the ambulance toward the hospital.
In the mountains, on the road
A black Porsche Cayenne sped down the road. Odalys lowered her eyes, still lost in thought as she stared at her iPad, When Percival handed her a glass of water, she took it with a murmured “Thank you.”
After taking a sip, she looked up and noticed they were heading back. Surprised, she met Percival’s eyes and asked, “How did you know I was
She had been so absorbed in her work inside the car that she had forgotten to speak to him.
Percival watched her as she glanced back and forth between her iPad and the phone call. After she seemed to finish her call, she finally took breath

Odalys raised an eyebrow, her gaze ning moor inquisitive,
“Before I left, I gave Italari a little lesson. Now he’s in a state of panic. After I’m gone, he’ll definitely be lost,” she said calmly. “With the injuries he has, he can’t go out for help. And, because he’s afraid of becoming… well, you know, he won’t dare contact anyone outside.
“If we go back now, we should be able to find something,” Odalys added in a soft tour.

Percival’s brow furrowed, and after a long pause, he asked cautiously, “Your medicine…it targets a man’s private parts, ca making him think that if he doesn’t listen, he’ll really end up castrated“”
“Exactly,” Odalys said with a smile
Percival’s fingers tightened imperceptibly, his Adam’s apple moving as he thought about what she had said, his eyes lingering unreadable expression
Odalys leaned back in her seat, then suddenly had an idea. She instinctively grabbed Percival’s wrist, spreading his palm open and placing he fingers on his pulse.
Percival froze. His fingertips moved slightly, and his Adam’s apple bobbed a few times.

His eyes lit up with excitement. Every place her fingers touched seemed to be a pressure point, and she was casually yet precisely locating the leg

Odalys pressed her finger gently against his chest
“The poison in your body, which had been suppressed, seems to be stirring would have been controlled waiting for the right moment to be expelled”
