The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 617

Chapter 617: Chapter 617: The Old Fortune-Teller

Jennings Family.

With the help of her Spirit Gathering Array, Scarlett Jennings managed to barely restore her depleted Spiritual Power before inviting Gregory Xander and a few others to Sea City Hospital.

That day, Donovan Jennings brought back her small task force along with Seraphina Stanton, who was found by Ashton Todd.

Apart from Gregory Xander and Nathan White, who were placed in a hotel, everyone else was directly arranged into a private hospital owned by the Jennings Family.

Scarlett Jennings and the others had just reached the doorway of the ward when they heard Ashton Todd’s voice,

"Stella Gibson! You’re fine now but still snatching my apple! Do you know how expensive this apple is?!"

Next came Stella Gibson’s deliberately indignant voice,

"No matter how expensive the apple is, it wasn’t bought by you. It was sent to me by Scarlett!"

"An apple I peeled is mine! I’ve put in labor for it!"

"You’re so annoying! I almost lost my life, and you can’t let me eat an apple? Who told you to leave me behind and run off with Elysia Xander?!"

"How many times do I have to tell you, I didn’t leave you behind, it was that Mad Old Woman who dragged me away!"

Scarlett Jennings, hearing Stella Gibson’s crisp voice, knew she was already well recovered. She knocked on the door of the ward and walked inside.

The argument inside suddenly stopped, replaced by Stella Gibson’s pitiful calling out of Scarlett’s name.

Scarlett Jennings then asked Stella Gibson about what happened after she was chased by the specter.

Stella Gibson felt a lingering fear when mentioning it.

"That day, I really thought I was going to die..."

Though she could control point corpses, she was no match for such a formidable existence as the Undying Bone.

Even if the opponent was merely a half-formed Undying Bone.

"At that moment, he flew at me, his claw almost reached my neck, but suddenly stopped and instead elbowed me away."

Stella Gibson had already consumed a lot of Spiritual Power earlier and was weak. The elbow hit, combined with the influence of foul energy, made her faint as she flew away.

Fortunately, the Undying Bone didn’t attack her after she fainted and she was able to keep her life.

Scarlett Jennings listened to Stella Gibson, her face showing a thoughtful expression.

Recalling the previous behavior of the Undying Bone in the warehouse, she said,

"Maybe it wasn’t just luck."

Since it wasn’t fully formed, the Undying Bone evidently still retained some human consciousness. Otherwise, given its manifested strength, Stella Gibson might have already been dead.

Although aware, the people of Mystical Sect couldn’t just leave it unchecked outside.

No one knows if it will completely lose human consciousness and turn into a full-fledged Undead in the future.

...

As they were talking, Ashton Todd suddenly received a phone call.

The next second, he stood up, a bit excited.

"The dean said my sister is awake!"

The group was taken aback but followed Ashton Todd to another care ward.

That ward housed Seraphina Stanton, one of the ninety-nine Blood Sacrifice victims from the warehouse, and the person Ashton Todd was determined to save, even at the cost of quitting the academy’s competition.

Due to excessive blood loss and an unstable Soul Body, she almost didn’t survive back then.

Luckily, Nathan White and Senior Brother Jingze managed to keep her soul tethered, buying time to save her.

Upon reaching the ward, they found an elderly lady keeping vigil by the bed.

The elderly lady appeared to be around sixty years old, looking a bit haggard but with gentle eyes.

Earlier, Ashton Todd was still rowdy at Stella Gibson’s side, but facing the elderly lady and Seraphina Stanton in bed, he instantly became extremely well-behaved, even speaking softly.

"Dean, Seraphina, waking up is a good sign."

"Brother Todd..."

Seraphina, just waking up, was still weak, but seeing Ashton Todd, couldn’t help but shed tears,

"I knew... you would come to save me."
