Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

The next day, Purple Summers fell ill.

She had a continuous low fever and lost her appetite.

Although it seemed like a minor illness, she kept dozing off in bed and occasionally woke up with no energy.

Alexander Summers used the broken window as an excuse, saying that the broken window might have let cold air in at night, leading to Purple getting cold and catching a cold.

Since Purple’s room window was broken, he allowed her to rest in his room naturally.

Atra Blanc was confused – how come her daughter got sick, her son came back, and there were several unfamiliar guests at home when she woke up?

“Mom, call the school and ask for a few days off for Purple,” Alexander quickly made up an excuse and sent Atra Blanc away.

Atra Blanc had no doubts and went to make the call.

Alexander Summers’ subordinates were adept at handling bloody transactions and dealt with the scene efficiently.

Upstairs and downstairs had been cleaned, even the coagulated bloodstains embedded in the hollow rose-bordered glass windows had been sprayed and dissolved with a special chemical, without leaving a trace.

Everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

Atra Blanc didn’t notice anything amiss.

Alexander Summers was troubled and took Zack Wallace and Hunter Dalton to the study.

“Didn’t you say that if there’s a three-eyed divine crow, everything would be fine?!” Alexander’s eyes were dark, and he asked as soon as he entered the study, “What’s wrong with her illness?!”

Hunter Dalton showed no panic on his face, and explained, “The three-eyed divine crow is a natural Yin spirit, which is most suitable for being a spiritual pet to protect the soul. This is beyond doubt, Master Xander. As you saw, the divine crow saved Ms. Summers, but the ancient jade suddenly appeared, and her soul was shocked. She should recover after some time.”

Zack Wallace kept his head down and said nothing, feeling a bit schadenfreude.

Alexander Summers was unhappy and asked, “Is there no immediate recovery method?”

“Nourishing soul is like bone growing flesh, flesh growing skin; the pain of separation is inevitable. Even if it is supplemented, it takes time to recover. Forcing rapid methods could affect the soul and be counterproductive!” Hunter Dalton advised earnestly.

Alexander Summers remained silent, his face still gloomy and awful to look at.

Zack Wallace changed the subject appropriately, “Mr. Dalton, you still need to think of a way. What if we encounter this kind of situation again? The soul that Master Xander has been nurturing so hard could be damaged again. If this keeps happening, how can the soul grow strong?”

Hunter Dalton smiled as if a bit helpless, “Such thousand-year-old ancient jades are rare in this world; meeting one once is already an unpredictable fate, let alone encountering one a second time?”

He held a jade stone in his hand, slowly rubbing it. It was the pendant from the man’s neck.

The jade stone in Hunter Dalton’s hand became smooth and radiant under the moonlight.

“Such ancient jade may not be appealing, and it doesn’t sell well at auction houses, but it is naturally able to ward off evil spirits and has its own spirituality. People who are not insiders cannot understand its value,” Hunter Dalton put the jade stone back on the table and speculated, “It might be a family heirloom or something he stole, wanting to sell the ancient jade for some money, but the antique dealer couldn’t recognize its value, so he kept it for himself.”

Zack Wallace’s eyes were envious upon hearing this.

An ancient jade that could ward off evil spirits… this was a great thing, much more reliable than the phone lanyard he had just bought!

However, because of this, Purple Summers was still lying sick in bed, and Alexander Summers loathed it!

“Smash it,” Alexander Summers said.

Zack Wallace hesitated, thinking it was a pity, and said, “Actually… there are always some dirty deals amongst us, so it’s good to wear some amulets that ward off evil spirits, like fortune wheel charms and ancient jades…”

Alexander Summers frowned and looked at him coldly.

Zack Wallace shivered immediately, “I’ll go smash it right away!”
