Chapter 9 Arrived in Dawton City

Speaking of that, the old man felt complicated feelings.

“Then hurry up. Tell Betty what she needs to learn before it’s too late!” Jocelyn roared testily.

“Grandma Grey, don’t be angry. I don’t feel any pain at all.”

Betty realized that she had done something wrong and looked guilt–ridden.

“Grandma Grey, Grandpa, Grandpa Langley, I’ll be careful with what I eat in the future.”

The little girl looked at them with teary eyes in a pacifying manner.

Isabella caressed her head, knowing it wasn’t time to scold her.

“It’s good that you know you are wrong. But don’t do something so dangerous again, okay?” Isabella said.

Betty nodded obediently.

Isabella stroked her soft curly hair and then turned to the old man. “Grandmaster, what has been done can’t be undone. Please save Betty.

“I’ll keep an eye on her to ensure she won’t use the Legacy of Evil Doctors to cause any trouble.”

The old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead again. “No. She doesn’t need me to teach her anything. What do you think those poisonous pills can do?

Betty took out a figurine made of jade from her pajama pocket. The figure’s surface was covered with complex marks of organs and veins.

The whole thing looked like a geometric riddle.

Isabella opened her eyes wide.
