Chapter 514: Physique
Translator: Lonelytree
After a long ti, I let out a soft sigh. I stood up and helped him up. “I’ve promised to go to hell and back with the Sea Wolves!” Lu Heng stood up. I looked at him. “But Lu Heng, there are many things that I need to clarify first. I hope we’ll keep the promises we gave each other.”
Lu Heng looked at with a look of unspeakable sorrow.
He nodded. “Yes, Miss! The oath of the Sea Wolves is valid for life!”
...
I soaked myself in the warm water. The weariness from drifting on the sea for more than three months gradually lted into the water.
I stretched out my arm.
The skin on the bend of my left arm was already flawless.
My body had changed over the past three months, and no one knew about it except .
Without Ma Ji’s monthly examination, blood drawing, and dicine, my physique was recovering.
I no longer felt dizzy or the need to cry. The symptoms of insomnia began to ease, and most importantly, my mind began to clear up bit by bit.
As stupid as I was, I realized Ma Ji’s so-called dicine was not dicine at all. They told they would move to my uncle’s new ho. However, when I arrived, I realized the new ho was actually mine, to begin with! My parents left it for !
If the accident didn’t happen, uncle’s people would have co to replace all the workers here. Then he would rule over this place, and I would continue to be an orphan under his care!
The blood-drawing wasn’t for dical check-ups at all. I suspected my blood was used by Ma Ji for so sinister reasons. And the dicine I took wasn’t to help with my brain and mory. It was for the exact opposite effect.
I couldn’t help but shiver. Heavens had truly helped this ti. Gods had allowed to escape from the devil’s clutches.
I scooped up a handful of water and threw it onto my face. I shook my head forcefully.
However, that didn’t an that I was safe. Since my own uncle couldn’t be trusted, could the others?
Sea Wolves pledged a lifeti of loyalty to so easily. Were they reliable?
Banxia only revealed her knowledge of the computer center when we were in fatal danger. Was that normal?
Who could I trust other than myself?
My heart soaked into ice.
I stood up from the water, pulled a towel to wrap around my body, and stood barefoot on the floor tiles.
I examined my thin body. My bones were sticking out. I needed to gain weight as soon as possible.
Daisy personally ca to help blow dry my hair.
Her movents were extrely gentle. Banxia didn’t know how to do this kind of work. She was a little clumsy, and she was only there to accompany ... or perhaps supervise ?
After blowing my hair dry, Daisy put down the hairdryer and gently hugged my arm. Her voice was choked with sobs. “Miss, how did you beco so skinny? Mr. Tong only said that you are in poor health, but I didn’t think it’d be this serious. If Madam were still alive, she would be heartbroken!”
I turned around, and she lowered her head to wipe away her tears.
I tugged at her sleeve. “Then help regain my strength. Find a Chinese dicine practitioner. Have him co to treat under the guise of a servant.”
Daisy was stunned.
