He didn’t say the words that followed,
I wasn’t in the mood to listen either, feeling that all these words were nonsense. Wasn’t it all caused by
Ezra that I had to endure such torment? Would he feel sorry when he saw it?
After checking the person lying on the ground and taking a careful look, he turned to us. Seeing this, I
ignored Sebastian and quickly looked at the man, asking, “How is it?”
”
The man glanced-at Sebastian. Sebastian pursed his lips and asked the same question I had. Only
then did the man speak, “The internal organs are basically damaged. He won’t die immediately, but he
won’t live much longer either.”
Sebastian gave a slight nod, looking at me, repeating the same sentence, he said, “Ms. Conner, I’ll take
you to get treated.”
What he meant was that he had absolutely no intention of saving this old man.
Seeing him like this, I frowned, my voice somewhat hoarse, “Get someone to treat him.”
He furrowed his brows slightly, a faint frown etched on his forehead as he said, “He’s dying. The
gentleman wouldn’t let me save him, nor did he intend to let anyone save him.”
“Did he commit murder or arson, that you treat him this way, an old man, you plan to just watch him
die?” I was somewhat angry, but I was relying on the bit of kindness Ezra had shown me. I knew that
as long as I was angry, Sebastian would listen.

Sure enough, he furrowed his brow and ordered someone, “Go get a doctor to check on him.”
The person nodded and left.
Upon seeing this, I subtly let go of my worries.
The people who were tormented to death here were certainly not bad people. They were either people
who refused to be used by Ezra, or those who came here intending to destroy this place. Otherwise,
with Ezra’s methods, any useless person would have been killed by him long
ago.
So, this person was not a bad person, and I certainly wouldn’t stand by and do nothing while they were
in danger.
“Ms. Conner, let me take you to get treated.” Sebastian spoke, and in the midst of his words, he had
already led me out of the brick house.
The old man had agreed to find someone for treatment, so naturally, I didn’t say much more. I came
outside with Sebastian. This place, as far as the eye could see, was filled with Venom Roses, blooming
endlessly and overwhelmingly. In the vast sea of Venom Roses, there were people working hard.
These things wouldn’t take long to harvest.
Such drugs, once matured, would pose a threat to the entire planet, not just domestically.
For the sake of money, these people really did stop at nothing to gain profit.
Sebastian seemed oblivious to my mood, leading me to a clean room with a decent environment. He
brought in a doctor, a young girl in her early twenties.
Looking at me, the little girl spoke to me in her broken Chinese, “I’ll apply some medicine for you, it
won’t hurt much, don’t be afraid.”

Sebastian had already left. I looked up at her, a typical South Afeorian appearance. She was somewhat
dark-skinned, her facial features were not particularly prominent, but neither were they flat. Her eyes
were sunken, giving her a somewhat profound look.
Seeing me looking at her, the little girl felt somewhat uneasy and said, “Hello Miss, my name is
Marguerite, I live nearby, I came to help you apply medicine.”
I nodded, judging by the looks of it, it must have been the local farmers that Sebastian had called over.
I had forgotten, this place was remote, how could there possibly be a doctor.
Looking at the medicine bottle in Marguerite’s hand, I reached out to take it, saying to her, “Give it to
me, I’ll do it myself.”
It hurt just now, the wounds on my body were indeed unbearable, but it’s better now. Although it still
hurts, it’s not fatal.
Seeing that I seemed not to want her help, she handed me the medicine she was holding and stood
aside, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating. Seeing this, I couldn’t help but ask, “What’s
wrong?”
Looking at me, she lowered her head and said, “If I don’t help you with the medicine, he won’t give me
any money.”
I slightly furrowed my brows, so this Sebastian used this to threaten her. I sighed softly, pursed my lips,
and said, “You turn around, I’ll go up myself. Once it’s done, you tell him that you helped me.”
After hesitating for a few seconds, she gave a slight nod and turned
away.
That girl named Geraldine, she really had a heavy hand. In just a short while, there was not a single
spot on my skin that was left unscathed, it was all bruised and battered. Enduring the pain to apply
medicine, I was already covered in cold sweat.

Just as I had buttoned up my clothes, a noise came from outside.
Marguerite looked at me in fright, I handed her the medicine in my hand, signaling to her that Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
everything was fine.
The door was pushed open, and in barged Geraldine. Seeing me, her arrogant face was filled with
displeasure. Sebastian followed a few steps behind her, and after entering, he quickly positioned
himself in front of me.
Looking at her, he said, “Miss Geraldine, you have already hurt her. The sir will be very angry when he
comes back. Please leave.”
