âMaster Howard!â
âWhat happened?â
A crowd of people poured into the room, looking nervously at Clarence.
Clarence sat on the bed, his head and body dripping with sweat.
It had all turned out to just be a dream!
However, the dream had felt too real.
Roger walked in and smiled at Clarence. âMaster Howard, how are you feeling?â
âIâm alright.â Clarence shook his head, still shaken.
He looked at the crowd. âHow long have I been sleeping?â
âThree whole days.â
Over the past three days, the Reed family had barely slept, ready to protect Clarence in case Dom attacked.
âEveryone from Thirteen Hall has come to visit you. Your girlfriend Cecilia has come here every day, but I was worried about your safety, so I sent her away every time.
âLeah has recovered and has now returned to Beth City. She sent word that sheâs alright. If you ever want to develop a career in Beth City, feel free to contact her, and sheâll help you out.
âYour ex-wife came once. She stood outside the room for five minutes and then left.â
Still a little lightheaded, Clarence sorted out what Roger had told him. âIs Bill awake?
âHowâs Kate?â
It was the first time Clarence had used âLife-Borrowing Miracle Twins Symbiosisâ.
He had no idea if it had worked.
Roger had a friendly smile on his face. âBillâs vital signs are clear. Heâs slept and woken up twice and now is recovering.
âKatieâs alright. She just went to practice her martial arts.â
Clarence froze, then shook his head with a wry smile.
The average person would be weak for at least a week after Life-Borrowing Miracle Twins Symbiosis was performed on them.
Kate had dared to practice martial arts after only three days. She was indeed a tough girl.
Just then, Kate walked into the room. She blushed when she saw Clarence. âAre you okay?â
She had stripped herself naked in front of Clarence.
She felt embarrassed right now.
She had a strange feeling in her heart.
Clarence smiled. âIâm okay.â
âHere. This is some food I prepared for you. After three days without food, you must be starving.â Kate took out a pot and opened it. It was a large pot of mushroom soup.
He had gone three days without food, so he could not have anything too heavy at first.
He had to nourish his stomach with mushroom soup first.
Otherwise, his body would not be able to take it if he suddenly overate after three days without food.
Growl...
Clarenceâs stomach growled.
He had not felt hungry at first, but the smell of mushroom soup made him feel hungry now.
Kate took a bowl of mushroom soup and handed it to him.
Clarence did not hesitate to take it and drink it.
Roger saw what was going on. âLetâs all go out and let Master Howard eat his meal and get some rest.â
Everyone left, leaving Kate and Clarence alone in the room.
Kate wanted to speak but stopped herself.
Clarence noticed that something was wrong. He put down his bowl and looked at her. âWhat do you want to say?â
âNothing.â Kate turned her head away.
Clarence smiled knowingly. âDonât worry, I wonât tell.â
âYou knew what I was going to say?â Kate froze.
Clarence shrugged. âIâm not stupid. What else would a woman care about?
âIâm a doctor. Your husband wonât say anything about it when you get married.
âGynecologists see a lot of women, donât they?
âThere are many doctors in the labor room who are male.
âGender isnât important when it comes to patients, so you donât have to feel worried about it.â
Kate felt relieved at Clarenceâs words.
A moment ago, she had been acting awkwardly because Clarence had looked at her body, but now, she felt relaxed.
âMaster Howard, youâre a good man,â Kate suddenly said.
Clarence touched his nose. âAre you friendzoning me?â
âNo, no!â Kate shook her head immediately. âI really just think youâre a good man. Iâm not friendzoning you.â
âGot it.â Clarence smiled, picked up the bowl, and continued to eat the mushroom soup in the pot that Kate had brought for him. Once he finished it, his stomach finally felt better.
âAlright then. After staying here for so long, itâs time for me to go back to Thirteen Hall.â
After learning that Clarence wanted to go home, Roger came over to ask him to stay. âMaster Howard, what if Dom tries to attack you again?
âLetâs wait until we get Dom.
âThe fact that he dared to do such a thing in Mediterranean City has crossed a line with the Martial Arts Association, and I have reported this to the general president.
âIâm sure Dom wonât be able to stay here much longer.â
Roger suggested, âYou can leave the Reed family house after we find Dom.â
Clarence shook his head. âIâm a doctor. I must return to Thirteen Hall.
âTo put it more crudely, am I supposed to hide here forever if you donât manage to get Dom?
âThatâs not a good idea.â
Roger said no more after seeing Clarenceâs insistence.
He sent over thirty of the Reed familyâs top martial artists to protect Clarence.
Three bullet-proof Audis left Cloud Hillâs Reed Villa one by one, each taking a different route toward Thirteen Hall.
Dom would have no idea which car Clarence was in, even if he tried to assassinate him.
No matter how strong Dom was, there was no way he could attack three vehicles at the same time.
Clarence returned to Thirteen Hall safely. Cecilia threw herself into his arms at the sight of him. âI was so worried. Thank God youâre okay.
âI heard that someone tried to assassinate you, and you were unconscious at Reed Villa for three days. I thought something bad had happened to you.
âI went to see you at the Reed family house, but they wouldnât let me in.â
Cecilia stomped her feet in anger. âIt was so frustrating!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âItâs alright, Cecilia. Iâm alright now. People are watching.â Clarence patted Cecilia on the shoulder.
Cecilia bit Clarence. âI donât care. If youâre ever in danger again, Iâm going to kill myself.â
âUh...â
Clarence touched his head. âYouâre not going to die for love, are you?â
âWhatâs the matter?
âCanât I do that?â Cecilia glared at Clarence, her eyes red.
Clarence was stunned, thinking Cecilia had been joking.
He had no idea she was serious.
Beep beep beep... Just as Clarence was trying to come up with something to say, a call came in. It was Mirandaâs phone number. âHello, Miranda?â
âMiranda? Haha. Iâm not your wife, boy.â
A manâs voice came from the other end of the line. It was cold and sinister like a venomous snake.
Clarenceâs voice deepened. âRattlesnake, itâs you.â
Clarence would remember his voice forever, even through death.
âHehe. It looks like you still remember me. Youâre really lucky. Youâre one of the few people Iâve gone after who have managed to survive.â Rattlesnake laughed.
âWhat did you do to Miranda?â Clarence asked coldly.
Rattlesnake tutted. âTsk tsk. Why do you care so much about her when youâre already divorced?
âYou have two hours to get down to Bat Hill in the suburbs, or Iâm not sure what my lackeys will do to your wife.
âYou ought to know, theyâve followed me through thick and thin, so they donât have much time for women.â
Rattlesnake smiled meaningfully. âWhen one has been unsatiated for long enough, they are no longer human.â
âDonât you dare!â Clarenceâs eyes widened in anger.
Rattlesnake raised his hand and slapped something. There was a sound from his end of the line as Miranda screamed in terror.
âWho are you?
âWhat do you want? Donât come any closer...â
Clarence roared in anger, âRattlesnake, touch Miranda, and Iâll kill you even if I have to comb through the entire world to find you.â
Rattlesnake shouted indifferently, âStop!â
The terrified voice of the woman at the other end of the line died down, but there were still sporadic sobs.
Rattlesnake continued, âRemember, Bat Hill in two hours.
âCome by yourself.
âOr your womanâs dead meat!â
Clarenceâs head was buzzing as he hung up. He had just dreamed about something happening to Miranda.
Was his nightmare going to come true?
