Chapter 424

Because Olivia had done so much for Huntley, Huntley felt grateful in her heart. These past few days, she had been researching various materials and trying to find a way to draw out the voodoo worm. Unfortunately, there were not many records passed down to Huntley, and in her generation, the lineal branch of the family had few remaining members. They were all from the side branches and had not understanding of voodoo. Olivia furrowed her brows deeply. Despite constantly reminding herself to relax and not worry too much, she could not help but frown.

Inside the room, Huntley was looking up information, while Olivia stood outside, gazing at the distant blue sky. Yesterday, the deputy director called and said that her grandfather’s condition had worsened a lot. His various organs were deteriorating rapidly, and he might not last much longer. Olivia hadn’t eaten much today, but her stomach felt unsettled, and she had constant acid reflux. Daniel walked over and put a coat on her from behind. “It’s windy. Wear some more clothes.”

Olivia buried her head in Daniel’s chest, showing her vulnerability for the first time. “What should I do? I can’t save my grandfather.”

Daniel’s expression was deep, but his tone carried a comforting strength. “It’s not going to happen. He has good luck, and I’m still waiting for him to wake up to officiate our wedding. The reason they had postponed their wedding for so long, despite being engaged for a significant time, was that they were waiting for Isaac to wake up. For Olivia, Isaac was her most important family member. He had raised her and taught her medicine and the ways of life. He was the person who loved her the most in the world. Olivia did not want him to miss her wedding. She wanted to save her grandfather and bring him back.

“Don’t worry.” Daniel embraced Olivia, shielding her from the dry, cool wind. “Give Huntley some more time. With so much information, she’s bound to take her time and maybe, at some point, she’ll find some clues.”

As they were speaking, Huntley excitedly ran over holding an old book. “I found it, I found it!” She was so excited that she was speaking incoherently, “I… I found the source of the voodoo worm. It’s a type of voodoo worm called ‘Chunjot. They are extremely cold and chilly. They spend most of their lives in hibernation. Once awakened, they require a large amount of heat and warm energy to sustain themselves. Chunjot cannot exist on their own, and they must parasitize other living creatures. If it resides in a human body, it will continuously roam within the body along with blood circulation. As long as it isn’t deliberately awakened, the constant heat within the human body is enough to keep it in hibernation. When the host body experiences an accident, like significant blood loss or the person becoming a vegetative state, when there is not enough heat and warm energy, Chunjot will awaken to protect its own survival, starting to continuously absorb the vitality of the host.”
