Chapter 376: Chapter 376: Did Samuel Chalmers Become Handsome?

Samuel Chalmers was never one to wear his emotions on his face, so when he saw the fox and dragon lying at the foot of the bed, he merely paused in silence for a moment.

Then, he reached out and pressed a button on the landline phone at the bedside.

Moments later, the butler knocked on the door and walked in. Upon seeing Samuel, his eyes were filled with surprise and gratitude.

"Young Ma—"

Before the butler could finish, Samuel had already raised his hand and pointed toward the two at the foot of the bed, his tone utterly devoid of emotion.

"Take them out."

The butler, hearing this, instinctively glanced at Scarlett Jennings next to the bed, then quickly responded, "Understood."

Stepping forward, he carefully picked up the small fox at the foot of the bed and placed it into Dashiell’s arms on the floor. Then, he bent down and efficiently scooped up the young man and the fox together into his arms horizontally.

Dashiell was asleep, not dead.

Such a big movement, coupled with the approaching human scent, woke him instantly.

As soon as he opened his eyes and realized he was being carried out, the young man’s face turned pale, and he immediately clung to the little fox in his arms, struggling frantically.

"I’ll go myself! I’ll walk myself!"

Don’t think he didn’t know—humans called this a "princess carry"!

He was a dignified male Flood Dragon; how could he allow himself to be carried like a princess?!

"Put me down!!!"

The butler assumed he was just a child throwing a tantrum. Instead of coaxing him, he prioritized following Samuel’s instructions. The young master had said to take them out.

Thus, the butler held him tighter and quickened his pace, carrying both the boy and the fox from the room in no time.

Scarlett Jennings watched as Dashiell and the small fox were carried off before turning her head to meet Samuel’s gaze. In an instant, she sat up abruptly, "I can leave on my own."

With that, she turned around, preparing to slip away on her own.

But she hadn’t expected her wrist to be suddenly grabbed.

It was only a brief warmth before the grip quickly loosened again.

"You don’t need to leave."

Samuel’s voice was hoarse. After a brief pause, he said, "Tell me what happened afterward."

He thought of the Fire Thunder he had intercepted and the injury on Scarlett’s hand.

Samuel was certain that after he had fallen unconscious, she must have encountered more trouble.

He just didn’t know whether that trouble had been resolved or not.

Hearing his question, Scarlett Jennings no longer hurried to leave. She sat back down on the edge of the bed and recounted everything about Azura Loomis and the system, including how the system had tried to enter his body while he was unconscious and how she had stopped it, ultimately dealing with it completely on her own.

The only thing she left out was what Dashiell had said about the Heavenly Dao.

She explained the earlier parts because he had risked his life shielding her from the lightning. No matter what, Scarlett couldn’t keep the system’s secrets from him after what he had done for her.

After all, she couldn’t let him be in the dark about who had caused his coma.

As for the matter of the Heavenly Dao, she decided not to bring it up because even Mystical Sect members wouldn’t dare to meddle with such things easily, let alone Samuel, an ordinary person...

Well... maybe not so ordinary.

It was even possible that he was the son of the Heavenly Dao itself.

After all, being struck by the Heavenly Dao’s Fire Thunder and coming out unscathed seemed more "son of the Dao" than mere coincidence.

In that case, it made even less sense to bad-mouth his "dad" in his presence, right?

Scarlett spoke in detail, but Samuel still sensed she hadn’t told him everything.

He didn’t press her, merely lowering his eyes in silence, as if deep in thought.

Seeing him stay quiet, Scarlett thought for a moment and asked, "Your doctors are still outside. Should I have them come in and check on you again?"

But Samuel shook his head. "No need."

He then looked at her and said, "Aren’t you low on spiritual power? You can stay with me a bit longer."

Scarlett was a little puzzled by his words. She hadn’t just told him she was running low on spiritual power.

But then she quickly remembered the methods she had described using against the system. It made sense he’d deduce that her spiritual power had been depleted.

She didn’t have the heart to admit she’d secretly recharged a little while he was unconscious.

Though it wasn’t entirely under her control, the act did feel a bit like taking advantage of his condition.

So she obediently stayed, keeping him company for the better part of the day.

Eventually, Donovan Jennings came by to visit and took her back with him.

When Scarlett left the Chalmers Villa, she seemed somewhat distracted.

Donovan asked instinctively, "What’s wrong? Still worried about him?"

Scarlett shook her head. "I just feel like Samuel seems... different after waking up this time."

The Golden Light was still the same Golden Light, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on what had changed.

Donovan saw her thoughtful expression and suddenly teased, "Is he more handsome now?"

Donovan always thought Samuel had managed to deceive his younger sister not just because he was cunning enough but also because of his looks.

Scarlett might belong to the Mystical Sect, but after all, she was still an eighteen-year-old girl.

And girls liked good-looking faces.

Not to mention that Samuel had practically shielded her from the lightning. You could say he’d saved her life by risking his own.

If he were an eighteen-year-old girl, Donovan thought, he’d also find such a boyfriend exceptionally handsome.

Scarlett was caught off guard by her brother’s joke and froze for a moment.

Remembering that she and Samuel still publicly maintained a romantic relationship, she could only mumble an awkward response, "Maybe..."

Did Samuel become more handsome? She wasn’t sure.

After all, most of the time, she could barely see his face.

Her eyes were usually too dazzled by the Golden Light.

As they chatted, the two strolled back to the Jennings Family estate.

Neither of them noticed Samuel standing by the window of the Chalmers Villa behind them, wrapped in his robe, quietly watching their retreating figures, his expression unreadable.

After a long time, he suddenly raised his hand, looking at the Peach Wood Mark in his palm.

The mark was still the same familiar one.

But compared to before, the red color in his palm seemed to glow even brighter.

...

Chapter 375: Is My Destined One Doing Well?

Meanwhile, Scarlett and Donovan had just returned to the Jennings Family estate, where Michael Jennings, Blaise Jennings and Brianna Jennings all came rushing over to greet her.

Given the recent turmoil and commotion, Luca Jennings naturally couldn’t hide the events from them any longer.

At the very least, they needed to understand what Azura Loomis had done to their family and realize just what kind of person they had been nurturing all these years.

Blaise and the others didn’t have emotions as deep as the matriarch’s, but over the years, they had genuinely treated Azura as a junior they cared for.

Knowing the truth now, they were naturally both furious and filled with condemnation.

When they learned what she had done to the matriarch and Chase Jennings, they were even more enraged, wishing they could each slap her across the face.

Those were the two people in the family who had loved her most.

How could she bring herself to hurt them?

Unfortunately, Azura had already been taken away by the Security Bureau when it all came to light. Not only could they not slap her, but they couldn’t even scold her to her face.

It was only at this point that they realized how much Scarlett had done for the family from behind the scenes. Their hearts couldn’t help but ache for her.

Even Michael, who usually didn’t get along with Scarlett, uncharacteristically expressed concern for her well-being.

Naturally, their inquiries also extended to Samuel’s current condition.

Hearing that both of them were fine, Michael finally relaxed a little before saying, "Scarlett, your grandmother and Chase are still trapped in the dolls. Now that you’re back, hurry and find a way to release them."
