Chapter 1910
"Remember this, you are an emotionless tool."
"If you obey me, you live. If you don''t, you die.”
The voice kept repeating the lines.
Betty Starmount could only hear the voice but not see the person it belonged to.
She closed her eyes and nodded slowly. "I understand. I won''t spare X Quest."
"I-I also won''t spare Jer-Jere-Jeremy Quest!"
She began to stammer when she mentioned his name, taking nearly half a minute to utter the two words.
After that, Betty clenched her fists tightly and looked at the mirror in front of her. However, the words written in red had disappeared by then. Everything had returned to normal.
She quickly used a face towel to wipe away her sweat.
Knock, knock, knock-
Someone was knocking on the bathroom door, and then she heard X''s voice. "Hey, are you alright?"
Opening the bathroom door, Betty looked at X. “I''m fine.”
Right then, she saw Jeremy standing with a worried expression behind X. As soon as he saw her, he immediately stepped inside. "How are you feeling? Are you alright, Betty?
"You can tell me if you don''t feel well. I''ll take you to the hospital right away," he told her.
Betty nodded. "Yeah, I''m fine. Don''t worry, I am feeling better already."
"Really?" X asked curiously.
"Yeah, it always hurts a little. Don''t worry," Betty replied.
When X heard this, she extended her hand to her.
"What are you doing?" Betty had a confused look in her eyes.
"Give me your hand, and I''ll have a check. I might be able to solve your problem," X said.
However, Betty subconsciously took

with

Sensing herreluctance to have
pulse checked, X immediate
asked, "What''s the matter
you?"
However, Betty took another step back. "N-nothing, I don''t need it.”
After that, she hastily ran out of the bathroom.
X was speechless.
What was wrong with Betty?
Was she afraid of taking traditional medication like X''s father?Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
She helplessly shook her head before holding Jeremy''s hand. “Come on, Dad. Let''s go and eat."
Jeremy nodded before leading X into the dining room.
After they entered, he sat next to Betty, while X took her seat beside Stanley.
The four of them sat across from each other.
Betty stood up and began to fill their bowls with porridge.
When X saw this, she immediately reached for the spoon. "You should rest. Let me do it."
Betty smiled and sat down obediently.
Jeremy gently held her hand. "You should let X check on you. Let her find out what''s the problem."
"It''s fine, I''m all right. I was only feeling chilly. I''m already
some medicine," Betty said. Content

"I see. What kind of medicine are you taking?" X asked. "Nothing special, just the usual medicine," Betty said evasively. "Those aren''t as effective as traditional medicines," X said.
