“She gave up her life to save you, you knew she did her utmost to help you, so you can’t even bear to die, fearing to let down her painstaking effort. But at the sa ti, you think living is too dull, being tornted by pain every day. I have tasted this kind of pain in my life, and I don’t want you to bear all of these… Has she used her blood to detoxicate for you?”
With a hoarse voice, Caleb Mat admitted, “It was my oversight, but I won’t let her take risks anymore.”
“Good boy,” Madam Mat sighed with relief. “Her blood can detoxicate. It’s not a good thing, so you have to protect her as much as possible, and never let anyone learn this secret.”
At the gate of the house, Xaviera Evans curiously asked a servant, “Do you know why Madam Mat refuses dical treatnt? Actually, I can arrange soone to treat her.”
The servant helplessly smiled bitterly, “Maybe because Madam Mat is kind-hearted, she does not want the younger generations to worry about her, which is why she refuses treatnt.”
Could that be the reason? Xaviera fell into contemplation.
At this mont, a burst of noisy talk ca from not far away.
Will Mat said excitedly, “Just like his mother, Caleb Mat is completely insane! His disease has not been cured all along, I reckon he will go blind soon. By then, he won’t be qualified to inherit the Mat family. Just confine him in the yard at the back of the Mat ho, declare him terminally ill, unable to bear outside responsibilities, and let him survive as he can!”
After he left, a few people from the Drew family said excitingly, “Will Mat is right. If Caleb were not sick, he would indeed be the most ideal candidate for the heir. However, he is a lunatic! And destined to lose his sight! How could the Mat family be entrusted to a useless fellow like him.”
“I vividly rember when he was locked behind the basent as a child, his deranged look, his stare was as if he was about to kill soone, so terrifying.”
“When he goes insane, he does kill people! And his eyes are… Ah! Never mind. It makes shudder just thinking about it. In any case, people like him are natural disasters. They don’t deserve to have a family. They should have been abandoned at birth!”
Hearing these discussions, Xaviera was infuriated to the point of gritting her teeth.
They dare speak about Caleb Mat like this behind his back; these people are destined for the Hell of Tongue Pulling!
Unaware of Xaviera’s presence, the people continued their mockery. Pure jealousy drove them to belittle Caleb; they didn’t dare confront him directly and only dared sar him behind his back. They were just classic loudmouths!
Xaviera’s eyes glowed with a dangerous light. With a flip of her wrist, a few silver needles flew out quickly, piercing several people and then quickly retracted back. The whole process took only two seconds without leaving any traces.
“Ah! It hurts! What was that?”
“I also felt a sting on my back!”
“What’s happening?”
“Could it be…Caleb? I heard he ca back to see Madam Mat just now!”
Xaviera gave a victorious smirk. After ntally counting to three, those n suddenly turned pale before they started rushing to find a restroom clutching at their stomachs.
“Naughty!” The gentle voice of Caleb Mat suddenly sounded. After finishing his conversation with Madam Mat, who soon fell asleep due to fatigue, he walked outside to find Xaviera using her hidden weapon.
With an awkward smile, Xaviera said, “What’s so naughty about this! I’m just playing around! No harm done, ha ha …”
After laughing a few tis, she suddenly realized, how long had Caleb been standing there? She didn’t care about the hidden weapon, Caleb already knew about that. But did he hear what those n had been saying about him?
They called Caleb worthless and insane…
Xaviera’s face beca somber, worry filling her eyes. However, he appeared calm, “Madam Mat has been awake quite long this ti, and her health is not bad. Shall we stay here to accompany her for a few days?”
Without hesitation, Xaviera nodded her head. Madam Mat was old and didn’t have much waking ti left, so it was only natural for Caleb to stay and keep her company.
“You should know I have my own yard in the Mat ho,” said Caleb, his eyes deepening.
Of course, Xaviera had heard of it. The yard was called Maple House. Given its na, there must be many maple trees where he lived. When autumn cos, the ground would be covered with red maple leaves, it must be beautiful.
