Before she could finish speaking, Mother Xavier slapped her hard across the face.
“Did you just call them Mom and Dad?!” she snapped. “Your so–called feelings mean nothing compared to my son’s life! I’m warning you–and you two as well…”
She pointed a trembling yet firm finger at my parents.
“If anything happens to my son, the Luxton family won’t get away with it!”
Jason, distressed by the slap Miranda took, tried to step in front of her.”
But in an instant, a ghost flickered in his eyes.
The bloodstain around his neck darkened and tightened
Within seconds, his eyes bulged with pain, and he dropped to his knees, clawing at his throat in a frenzy.”
Mother and Father Xavier rushed to his side, panic overtaking them.
Miranda was so horrified, she burst into sobs and crawled toward Jason, pleading
“Please, please let my brother go! He and I are in love–true love! Please, have mercy… wuwuwu…”
But no matter how she cried, the crimson mark didn’t fade–it only deepened.!!
That was when Jason finally accepted it.
Only the mourning cries of someone born with a spiritual body could deceive a vengeful spirit.!
With his final strength, he reached out a trembling hand to me:
“Evelyn… save me… I don’t want to die…”
I simply took a quiet step back, watching him coldly.
Just before he suffocated, the Exorcist sent by the Xavier family finally arrived.
After casting his circle and slapping talismans, the sweating priest managed to temporarily suppress the ghost. “Madam Xavier,” he said breathlessly, “this spirit bears a deep resentment. We’ve only got it sealed for seven days.” “If we don’t resolve this by then, the young master will surely die.”
Jason turned to me, desperate:
“Save me! You do the mourning this time! I’ll give you the title of Madam Xavier once the funeral ends, alright?” Miranda, eyes full of tears, looked at him in anguish:8
“Jason, didn’t you say I was the only one for you?”
But Jason’s eyes stayed fixed on me, coaxing with all he had:”
“I was wrong, Evelyn–I hurt you. But if you save me now, I’ll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.“%
I gave a mocking smile and took Charles’s hand.
“I’ll say it again–i have no interest in being Mrs. Xavier.”
“And besides, I can’t save you. Madam Xavier knows that perfectly well.”
Madam Xavier looked dazed. Had she not been holding onto the wall, her legs would have buckled beneath her.”
Once the spirit had seen her true face, she could never lift the curse again.!!
“It’s over… it’s all over…” she muttered.}
Father Xavier gripped his cane so tightly his knuckles turned white, trembling with rage as though he might slaughter the entire Luxton family.
Still unwilling to give up, Jason crawled to my feet, begging pitifully:
“I don’t believe you. You can save me, right?”
“I’ll have them throw Miranda out right now.”
And as soon as he spoke, two bodyguards came forward and dragged Miranda away.
She screamed, struggling wildly. My parents rushed in, flailing at the guards and demanding they let her go.
Amid the chaos
I curled my lips into a faint smile.
“I do have another way to save Young Master Xavier.”
Mother Xavier instantly grabbed my hand, frantic:
“What is it?“H
If it can break the curse, we’re willing to do anything.”
The rest of the Xavier family leaned in, holding their breath.
8:28 AM PP…
“What is it?”
“If it can break the curse, we’re willing to do anything.”
The rest of the Xavier family leaned in, holding their breath.
I casually picked up a few sheets of paper money and scribbled on each.
Then I handed them to Jason.
“Pick one. Only one of these notes holds a life–saving solution. The rest are blank.” “Your fate is in your hands.“\
Charles and the blonde man blocked his path to make sure he didn’t cheat.
The Xavier family’s faces had gone grim.
Jason was trembling so badly he looked like he’d retch.
After a long, agonizing pause, he shut his eyes and chose the one in the middle.
