"Ginger noticed, Dr. Fordham. It's not safe here. Let's get out of here, fast!" Vance urged Olivia.She threw a bottle at him. "Here's the antidote. Wake everyone up. There's only one way out of the village. They haven't gone far. Protect Mr. Sean at all costs."Avery sent help. It would take at least 30 minutes before they arrived by helicopter."Understood."Vance and Vanta woke everyone up. Reginald shook his head, trying to shake off the dizziness. "Wasn't I texting my wife? Why did I fall asleep? Oh, I feel dizzy."Before this, they would sleep through the night and wake up after the drug wore off. Thus, there was no abnormality.Now that someone woke them up by force, their body couldn't get used to it."Mr. Lind, Ginger took Mr. Sean away. We have to go after them.""Dr. Fordham, are you talking in your dream? Ginger's been dead for many years. Only her bones are left in this world. She—""She and her family staged their deaths. While you were asleep, I dug up the

The dogs either sat at one side or circled Willow, wagging their tails as though they were trying to fish for praise.Olivia reminded, "She must've prepared something for defense. Be careful."Vance opened the wooden door to reveal the wooden stairs that led one to darkness.It seemed like a cellar basement.The two men descended the stairs carefully. A while later, they called, "Dr. Fordham, we found Mr. Sean. But we don't see Ginger."Olivia took the stairs only to see Sean lying on a wooden bed. There was no sight of Ginger.Olivia's guess was right. Taking Sean away was completely unplanned. Ginger didn't expect Olivia to discover the truth so quickly.She couldn't move Sean out of the village alone, so she hid him there.Unfortunately for Ginger, Olivia found him almost immediately."Mr. Sean is fine. He'll wake up when the day comes.""What do we do now, Dr. Fordham? Should we return?""There's no need to rush. Bring the men to track Ginger down. She should still be in

Olivia told Sean about her and Avery's recent findings. Upon learning that, Sean began to regret wasting so many years dwelling on his grief."Thank you, Dr. Fordham. You risked your life to save me. I will surely repay the favor in the future.""You're exaggerating, Mr. Sean. I became your doctor simply to repay Mr. Avery's favor. "He helped me a few years back then. Don't worry. I will do everything in my power to help you. "Cheer up! Don't put yourself down like before. Don't let Mr. Avery's effort go down the drain." "I understand." The glint in Sean's eyes was different. Avery was terribly ill, but he had to sustain the whole family all alone.In the meantime, Sean didn't do any of his duties under Avery's wing and caused the family trouble instead, worrying Avery.This time, Sean could see reality very clearly."Dr. Fordham, I will do as you say. But I have one question. You said I'm poisoned. Is my life in danger?""That person gave you a chronic drug. Although i

"Every murder has a motive. Jacqueline is our little princess. Why would she hurt her sibling? That doesn't make sense." Sean shook his head. "Besides, she has been obedient since she was young.""Just that? She sounds average to me compared to your other siblings."The Fordhams, including the late Quinn, were good at numbers. Troy could craft a dragon out of wood at the age of four, and Avery was a genius.Jacqueline was relatively ordinary under her siblings' shadows."I think it's because she was a premature baby. She has been weak since she was young. She rarely joined cocurricular activities and indulged in hobbies. "She was a late bloomer, but she worked hard ever since the day she could remember things. Even though she wasn't that bright, she put in effort."For example, our family could memorize a poem after listening to it once. The average kid might need to listen to it five times, but she needs to listen to it about ten times. "Still, she never complains. She'd

Reginald snapped back to reality. "I heard that they were going to look at some ice sculptures.""Are they out of their minds? Sean's unwell. How can she bring her somewhere so cold? Mr. Lind, you've been working for Sean for a long time. "Back when he insisted on moving out, my parents told you to come with him. They wanted you to keep an eye on him. Look what you've done. You allowed him to leave with a stranger!""Please calm down, Ms. Jacqueline. Mr. Sean isn't a child anymore. It's a good thing that he finally has the desire to live again. "He told me not to follow him. I can't exactly defy his orders, can I? Besides, Dr. Fordham is…""Shut up! You've failed to take care of Sean, and you're coming up with these excuses. Save them for when you talk to my parents!"Reginald looked at Jacqueline. She was normally gentle and kind, but it was like she was possessed at that moment. Her expression was cold.Reginald felt an inexplicable chill down his spine. His smile faded as h
