Chapter 514: Physique
Translator: Lonelytree
After a long time, 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 me 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 melted 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 me.
Without Ma Ji’s monthly examination, blood drawing, and medicine, 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 medicine was not medicine at all. They told me they would move to my uncle’s new home. However, when I arrived, I realized the new home was actually mine, to begin with! My parents left it for me!
If the accident didn’t happen, uncle’s people would have come 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 medical check-ups at all. I suspected my blood was used by Ma Ji for some sinister reasons. And the medicine I took wasn’t to help with my brain and memory. It was for the exact opposite effect.
I couldn’t help but shiver. Heavens had truly helped me this time. Gods had allowed me 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 mean that I was safe. Since my own uncle couldn’t be trusted, could the others?
Sea Wolves pledged a lifetime of loyalty to me 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 came to help me blow dry my hair.
Her movements were extremely gentle. Banxia didn’t know how to do this kind of work. She was a little clumsy, and she was only there to accompany me… or perhaps supervise me?
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 become 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 me regain my strength. Find me a Chinese medicine practitioner. Have him come to treat me under the guise of a servant.”
Daisy was stunned.
