Just then, Emrys spoke up. “Since you’re all so impatient, I shall disclose some interesting information.

Roger isn’t sick. He’s only in this state because he’s been afflicted with demonic energy. The cursed

object responsible for that is under his pillow.”

Upon hearing that, the trio turned grim.

Hannah, especially, was livid with rage. “Demonic energy? What bullsh*t! I think you’re just a

pathological liar!”

With that, she hurried over to Roger’s bed to lift the pillow.

Thankfully, Emrys was swift enough to grab her wrist and stop her. “I just expelled Roger’s demonic

energy, so he shouldn’t be moved in any way. Otherwise, not even the higher beings can save him.”

“Quit bullsh*tting! Let go of me!” Hannah yelled as she broke free from the man and reached for the

pillow.

All of a sudden, Roger’s eyes shot open.

“You can’t wait to see me dead, can you, Hannah Stark?”

Taken aback by Roger’s voice, Hannah staggered backward and fell to the floor. “Ah! W–Why are

you…”

“Dad! You’re awake!” Jacqueline exclaimed as she burst into happy tears and ran up to hug Roger. “I

was so worried I won’t be able to hear you speak again. I’m so relieved…”

Roger caressed his daughter’s head and smiled. “Dr. Lund saved me. The truth is, I had already woken

up before you guys came in.”

“Then, why did you pretend…” Jacqueline said before being hit by a sudden realization. “Oh, my gosh!

Dad, could Dr. Lund have been right about someone wanting to harm you?”

Roger nodded.

The next second, everyone’s gaze fell on Hannah.

She had seemed the most agitated when Emrys mentioned demonic energy and even tried to move

Roger despite the former’s warning.

Naturally, that made her the top suspect.

“Hannah, did you do this? You’d better tell me the truth!” Roger growled.

Hannah shook her head frantically. “No, Honey. I swear I don’t know what’s happening! This fraud must

be trying to frame me by placing that emerald pendant in your pillow.”

A hush instantly descended upon the room.

Unfortunately, Hannah failed to realize her mistake and added, “I really didn’t do anything! You guys

have to believe me!”

“When did I tell you the cursed object’s an emerald pendant?” Emrys scoffed.

In an instant, Hannah felt like she had been struck by lightning.

Sh*t! I slipped up!

“So it was you! Dad adores you so much and treats you like a goddess… Why would you do this to

him?” Sebastian snapped as he kicked Hannah till she screamed in pain.

Meanwhile, Emrys removed the blood emerald and crushed it with one hand. Even when a cold,

terrifying burst of force bolted toward him, he smashed it into smithereens without breaking a sweat. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hannah Stark, you sure are scheming, huh?” he said, shaking his head. “You wanted to make me the

scapegoat for your heinous crime, but unfortunately, you picked the wrong guy.”

As it turned out, if an amateur were to use cursed objects on others, they would also risk facing dire

consequences.

In the case of the blood emerald, the last person who came in contact with it would have years of their

life shaved off.

Hannah was the one who stuffed the blood emerald into the pillow, which made her the last person to

touch the cursed object. Therefore, if Roger died, the emerald would immediately split open and

release a wraith to go after her.

The price to pay for harming others was ten years off one’s life expectancy, which was why Hannah

agreed to let Emrys treat Roger.

She had planned on kicking up a fuss after Emrys‘ treatment failed and throwing the blood emerald at

him during the commotion. That way, he’d become the last person to be in contact with the cursed

object.
