The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill

Scarlett continued her exploration of the Eurofian-style building and acquired a general understanding of the layout as well as the facilities that were available.

Jane had told her that she could visit any room in the building except for Xavier's study. She shot a glance at the jet-black door to the study, noting it was sealed shut. Although she was curious, she was still a guest in the household, so she politely averted her eyes.

The last place Scarlett dropped by was Percy's room. She entered after knocking, her lips twitching when she laid eyes on the figurines from various different comics and animations adorning the room.

She did her best to ignore the over-the-top decorations as she pulled up her QR code-she was just here to collect her payment.

Percy generously transferred 10,000 dollars into her account.

The next day, Scarlett stopped by the mall to pick up some tools that might help Xavier fall asleep. Among the items she purchased were a blackout sleeping mask, a watch that monitored a sleeping person's heart rate, an electronic clock that uses hypnosis to put one to sleep, and a few potted herbs that were beneficial for sleep.

When she made it back to Jondalia Residence, she ran into a young man whom she didn't know in the living room. He was dressed in a large, white coat and was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He had a tall nose and a suave

appearance.

He was bent over a machine, fiddling with the controls. The other end was attached to Xavier's arm.

Scarlett guessed that he was either measuring Xavier's blood pressure or monitoring something else.

When he heard her approaching footsteps, the man raised his head to look at her, pinning her with a scrutinizing gaze. "Are you Scarlett Quinn? The one who's skilled in medicine despite your young age?"

Scarlett nodded at him politely. "Nice to meet you."

The man's lips crooked up into a smirk. He shot a glance at Xavier before directing his gaze back to Scarlett. It was hard to believe that Xavier actually managed to locate the young girl who had saved him all those years ago. She looked similar to the image of her he had drawn.noveldrama

However, the woman before him was certainly too young! She must have only been seven or eight years old, ten years ago. He couldn't believethat someone that young could be skilled enough to stop someone from bleeding out using acupuncture.

He was nearly 20 years old at the time of the accident and was already considered one of the three geniuses in the medical field. He had been studying medicine for 15 years, but even he couldn't guarantee that he

would have been able to save Xavier under those circumstances.

However, Scarlett had managed to do just that when she was only seven or eight years old. It was simply přeposterous. He was certain

that she must have gotten help from

her mentor. As for Xavier, he had actually managed to remember her pretty face despite how dazed and confused he must have been right after the accident.

The man asked, "Who did you study medicine with? Who was your mentor?"

"Mr. Alton Becker," Scarlett answered honestly.

The man arched an eyebrow as surprise flickered in his gaze. "Not surprising," he murmured.

Ten years ago, Alton had made an appearance after Xavier was rushed to the hospital. If it wasn't for his help, Xavier's after-effects would be much more severe than they were now.

"This is Caleb Gaztrict, my personal physician," Xavier introduced.

Gastric? Scarlett pressed her lips together to stop herself from laughing.

Caleb scowled at her and said, "It's not spelled the way you're thinking. I had a feeling your brain was filled with nonsense."

She forced the corners of her lips down. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself."

Caleb was rendered speechless by her response. Scarlett sure had some nerve, she didn't even bother pretending that she wasn't making fun of him!

The worst part of the entire situation was Xavier's response. "Just laugh if you want to. He won't mind."

Caleb couldn't believe his ears. Who the fuck wouldn't mind being the butt of the joke?
