With knitted brows, Halston felt quite surprised.
The Night Demon he remembered was a complete demon. He was inhumane too. It was considered kind if he did not hack his enemy into pieces or ruined his enemy completely.
But… he was willing to let Halston go.
It was as if pigs could fly.
Humph! Unfortunately, he would not be able to see that even if it did happen…
“Let me correct you. I’m not going to let you off the hook. I’m just keeping you alive for the time being. The fight between Carmine Pawnshop and the Guajardo family will not end.”
Quinton said with profound meaning, “It won’t be that easy if you fall into my hands the next time… So, you’d better work harder. Don’t be defeated by me again!”
After the sunbathing session on the roof that day, Halston seemed to be enlightened. He accepted the fact that he had turned blind. He no longer made a scene and gave others a hard time. He gave his full cooperation to the physician for the treatment.
When Quinton saw that, he heaved a sigh of relief. He rarely stimulated Halston again.
After all, although Halston had turned blind, his body was free of snake venom now. He could stay alive. Finally, Quinton had fulfilled the promise he made to his sister.
On that day, Halston gulped down the medicine brewed by the physician in one go.
The physician then inspected Halston’s body before he was overjoyed. He announced, “Mr.
Guajardo, congratulations. Your body has rid itself of all the venom. You’re now out of danger and can lead a bold life.”
However, Halston’s handsome face was aloof. His deep-set eyes were still numb and lifeless.
“How about my eyes? They can’t be cured, can they?”
“Er…”
The physician touched his white mustache and heaved a long sigh, saying, “The venom’s damage to your retinal tissues and eyeballs nerves is irreversible unless you find a pair of eyes that matches your body thoroughly. If not, the probability of you regaining your eyesight is very slim.”
“Okay, got it. Just go.”
Halston did not want to discuss it for long. He would consider it at length after he was back to the Guajardo family.
He fumbled and wanted to go out, but he bumped into the corner of a table halfway. So, he nearly fell.
A pair of hands supported him firmly, and that person sounded very respectful.
“Chase?”
Steven asked sensitively.
“Mr. Guajardo, it’s me.”
Chase was still wearing a light long shirt. He appeared very handsome and refined.
He felt slightly guilty to see the once high-spirited president of H Group fell into such a sorry state.
If he did not suggest that lousy idea back then, Halston would not have turned out this way.
So, it wasn’t surprising that Halston would feel like killing Chase now.
“Great! At last, you’re willing to see me.”
Not only did he not hold a grudge against Chase, but he was over the moon. He grabbed
Chase’s wrist as if he had found a savior. “Come here. I want to ask you about a great many things!
While fumbling, Halston vigilantly closed the door.
The only person he trusted in Carmine Pawnshop was Chase.
He did not think that the four-year master-servant relationship was merely acting.
“Mr. Guajardo, what would you like to ask me?”
Chase sighed secretly and asked Halston softly.
“How is Flossie? Did that maniac hurt her?”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Guajardo. Miss Ellsworth is fine. Even if my boss hurt himself, he won’t hurt
Miss Ellsworth,” Chase answered honestly.
“So, they’re siblings?”
“Yes, they’re mixed-gendered twins.”
“No wonder that maniac let me go. It’s unprecedented!”
Halston slowly clenched his fingers with deep shock.
Although he had long guessed that Flossie had an extraordinary relationship with that man, he was still ill at ease when he confirmed it at the moment. His beliefs were deeply shaken.
It turned out that the rumor was not ungrounded. That year, the Ellsworth family did gain a pair of twins of mixed genders. However, rumor had it that the elder son died upon birth, and he turned out to be alive later.
“If that’s the case, why didn’t Flossie come and see me? Is she…”
Halston’s heart skipped a beat because he did not dare to dwell on it anymore.
He vaguely remembered that Flossie jumped into the water dungeon to save him. It meant that she might also be bitten by the venomous snakes.
If she was fine and if she was that man’s sister, she would have freedom in Carmine
Pawnshop. Shouldn’t she come and see him long ago?
It had been such a long time, but she did not come. So, the reason was obvious.
“Don’t worry. Miss Ellsworth is fine. She’s not at Carmine Pawnshop now.”
“She’s not around?”
“Yes, she left long ago when you were nearing death. She might not even care about whether you’re alive or not!”
Chase shrugged and elaborated lightly, “Miss Ellsworth is the same as my boss. They’re rational people. They won’t delay their plans for the sake of romantic relationships. What’s more… there’s one thing which I’m unsure whether I should tell you honestly or not.” Halston subconsciously clenched his fingers. His heart was filled with unstoppable pain. He asked coldly, “What is it?”
“It wasn’t the boss’ idea to lure you into the water dungeon. It was Miss Ellsworth’s idea instead. She hates you for lying to her and betraying her. So, she wanted to go the whole hog and kill you so as not to be affected by you…”
“That’s impossible!”
Halston’s eyes turned scarlet. He said firmly, “Do you think you can sew discord between us?
