Chapter 390 Asking for Simone’s Help
Salma reached out to her parents’ home and offered her condolences.
Unbeknownst to the Johnstons, their daughter had been cursed.
Salma didn’t want her rtives and friends to discover the red rashes on her face.
Otherwise, they would feel obligated to visit her, which would make her feel embarrassed and
ufortable.
She chose to keep her condition hidden and didn’t confide in anyone.
Only Melinda, within her circle, was aware of the situation.
However, Melinda was under surveince by special agents, and she felt somewhat guilty for her
involvement.
Therefore, she remained silent and refrained from spreading the news.
Afterward, Salma learned from her parents that her nephew had recently taken an interest in horseback
riding at a stable.
Upon hanging up the phone, she hired a private detective to keep an eye on her nephew.
Two dayster.
Fully prepared. Salma went out with Jodie once again.
This time, they headed to a stable.
The master known to Jodie was already waiting there.
To avoid arousing suspicion from Elbertter on, Jodie waited in the car and didn’t enter.
Salma covered her face, leaving only her eyes exposed with a sun visor, and entered to meet the
master.
Together, they deliberately positioned themselves where Elbert would appear.
Following the master’s instructions, Salma walked briskly and intentionally bumped into her nephew.
The master concealed himself in a corner and observed.
At the moment of impact, the master made his move.
Earlier, he had bribed someone at the stable to sprinkle a powder that attracted insects anto Elbert’s
lothes.
Now, he employed the method taught by the witchcraft master who harl cursed Salma.
He swiftly traulgreed the insern onto Elbert’s body
She was joviled by a woman whose face he couldn’t clearly see and nearly stumbled
Just as he was about to express his anger, the woman immediately apologized to him.
He refrained from scolding her and simply advised her to be more cautious while walking.
Then, he proceeded directly to the stable with his friends to ride horses.
Unbeknownst to him, a tiny bug had crawled into his ear.
A few dayster, Simone received a phone call.
She answered. “Hello!”
The voice on the other end said, “Simone, it’s your uncle.”
Simone was taken aback. Why would her uncle be calling her? Could it be that he knew about Salma’s
situation and wanted to mediate? She hadn’t had any conflicts or shes with the Johnstons.
Since returning to the Gray Family, she had visited the Johnstons a few times.
Among the Johnstons’ members, aside from her second aunt and her child, who were cold towards her
and asionally found fault with her, the others were rtively polite.
She had a good rtionship with her fifth cousin, as well as her cousin, Jesalynn Parker, from her aunt,
Orena Johnston’s family.
In her previous life, when she went to remote mountainous areas for filming, her fifth cousin brought
her many things during visits.
Jesalynn often called or messaged her to stay in touch.
After being reborn, she asionally contacted the two of them
Simone’s attitude toward Nichs was neither enthusiastic nor cold. “Mr. Johnston, is there something
you need from me?” She had severed ties with the Gray Family, so naturally, she wouldn’t address him
as uncle
anymore.
She had no intention of maintaining a familial rtionship with the Johnstons.
Upon hearing Simone’s words, Nichs understood her meaning.
He wasn’t angry, as they hadn’t interacted much with Simone before.
Considering what her sister had done, Simone’s reaction was understandable.
Without beating around the bush, he said, “Elbert has been experiencing sudden shocks these past
few days!”
“He went to the hospital for a check-up, and all the indicators were normal.”
I have a friend who suggested that his condition might be caused by evil spirits.
also consulted two geomancy masters for help, but they couldn’t find anything
reting somewhat embarrassed, he continued, “I know you’re powerful geamancy master, sof
a
shamelessly ask for your assistance.”
If it weren’t for his son’s undetectable abnormal condition, he wouldn’t have sought Simone’s help.
Simone was taken aback. “Where is Elbert?” Elbert was her fifth cousin and the closest person to her in
the Johnstons.
Even if she had conflicts or disagreements with the Johnstons, she couldn’t ignore Elbert.
Nichs let out a sigh of relief. “He experienced another shock this morning and is currently in the
hospital.”
He then repeated the address.
Simone replied. “Okay, I’lle over right away”
Nichs asked if she wanted someone to pick her up, but Simone declined.

Half an hourter.
Simone arrived at Cebros finest private hospital.
Elbert was in a deluxe ward, and the door was open.
Simone walked in without hesitation.
There were four people in the ward.
Lying on the bed was Elbert, with a pale face, noticeable dark circles under his eyes, and a visibly
weak and exhausted appearance.
Nichs’ mother was seated beside him while Nichs and Elbert’s elder brother, Jared, stood nearby,
engaged in conversation.
Upon seeing Simone enter, all four of them smiled with a weing expression.
Karah stood up immediately. “Simone, please have a seat.”
Simone smiled back at her. “Hello, Mrs. Johnston!” Karah had always treated her kindly, unlike
Bridgette, who treated her differently.
Salma had the best rtionship with Bridgette.
Karah felt a bit awkward upon hearing that title.
After a moment of thought, she suggested, “Calling me Mrs. Johnston feels too formal. How about
calling me Aunt from now on?”
Ah, what a mess ber sister-inw had caused.
die didn’t want to force Simone into recognizing them as rtives, but she also didn’t want to create too
much distance.
the smiled and agreed, Alright, Aura Karah.
Nichs took the opportunity to say, “Then you can call me Nichs from now on.”
Although it was strange and awkward for an uncle to be an uncle, it still sounded more
Jared added, “Call me Jared.”
Due to the age difference between him and his cousin, they hadn’t interacted much and weren’t very
familiar with each other.
Of course, he hadn’t interacted much with Jodie either.
His negative impression of Jodie stemmed from his younger brother’s frequentints and recent
events that had urred over the past few months.
He found his cousin much more likable.
Simone nodded.
Elbert seemed to have found a savior.
He waved at Simone and pleaded, “Simone, please save me.
“Otherwise, I don’t know when I’ll die.”
Recently, he had a sense that if this condition persisted, it could pose a life-threatening risk.
Simone was aware that Elbert always had this kind of personality, being humorous and lively.
Unable to contain her emotions, she chuckled and teared up, remarking, “Elbert, you won’t start
hupping so suddenly.”
Elbert inquired, “So, you’re saying you can sense that something is amiss with me?”
Simone nodded. “Ordinary individuals wouldn’t exhibit your current state.”
Approaching him, she requested, “Extend your hand; let me examine it.
