Carson then moved his wheelchair and stopped in front of the bookshelf on the right. He tapped a few times on a random<\/p>\n
SPOL<\/p>\n
The bookshelf, which had been closed, suddenly made a \u201cclicking sound and split into two, revealing a door in the middle. Inside, it looked like another secret room, filled with books from wall to wall.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome, Cherise, follow me inside! Carson said as he turned his wheelchair.<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded and followed him in. Once inside, Cherise scanned the room with sharp eyes, marveling at every book.<\/p>\n
This was indeed the largest collection of books she had ever seen. Every book seemed to be a treasure that would awe any collector. It covered everything from astronomy to geography.<\/p>\n
The secret room was large. Carson moved forward on his own, and Cherise followed closely behind. When they reached a wall covered with portraits, Carson stopped.<\/p>\n
Cherise also stopped and stared at the many paintings on the wall. She froze for a moment. \u201cThese\u2026 these are all traits of my grandma. And mine too? No, to be precise, they are also my grandma\u2019s, right?\u201d Cherise said, her tone becomin<\/p>\n
certain.<\/p>\n
Carson nodded. \u201cThat\u2019s right. All the portraits are of your grandina. She was both Amelia and Megan. You must be curious about why your grandma had two different appearances, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes!\u201d Cherise said, her doubts evident.<\/p>\n
Carson sighed, a trace of regret on his face. \u201cDecades ago, when I was still young and had both my legs, I loved traveling the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first time I arrived in Saphira, it was a quiet little village with no more than three households. Even though the population was sparse, it was undeniably a place with an amazingly pure and advantageous environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was when I first thought about settling down in one place. And later, that idea came true, Carson reminisced, his face full of nostalgia for those times. Cherise quietly listened as he spoke.<\/p>\n
Carson continued, \u201cIt was less than a month after I moved into my little house. To make travel more convenient, I bought al small car. It must have been in the summer, about 45 years ago. I drove to a coastal city for sightseeing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile passing by a vast stretch of ocean, I stopped the car, set up my easel, and began sketching, hoping to capture the best sea view.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut the weather didn\u2019t cooperate\u2013it started pouring rain. I had to take shelter in the car. But as soon as I got in, something happened. Haha, out of nowhere, your grandma appeared and crawled into my back seat.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was stunned. I turned around and saw her covered in blood, from head to toe. Anyone would be terrified, let alone a young<\/p>\n
man like me at the time.<\/p>\n
\u201cLuckily, your grandma was fortunate. By that time, my medical skills had already started to show some progress.<\/p>\n
\u201cI asked her who she was, but she was barely conscious, her breath weak. She kept murmuring, Help me. Since I was a \u2026doctor, I was determined to save her.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut there was nothing in the car\u2013no tools, no medicine. I was worried she might have been pursued by enemies. After considering it for a moment, I hit the gas pedal and drove roughly 500 miles back to Saphira.<\/p>\n
Of course, I had to stop a few times on the way to help her with the bleeding. Having legs back then was a blessing because Avail can drive. Now, even just rolling a wheelchair is tough, Carson said, noticing Cherise\u2019s serious expression<\/p>\n
Chapter 349<\/p>\n
Cherise pursed her lips, her gaze cold. \u201cMy grandma was most likely being chased by someone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carson did not deny it. \u201cThat\u2019s right. She was weak and kept whispering in the back seat that she was being hunted. She begged me for help.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the time we returned to Saphira, her breathing was very weak, and she was completely in a coma.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoreover, her face had started to rot, which shocked me. I couldn\u2019t figure out what had caused it to gradually decay.<\/p>\n
94<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen she first got into the car, her face didn\u2019t show any signs of decay. She looked just like you\u2013almost identical. But at the time, I couldn\u2019t think about anything else. I had to save her rst.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, when I checked her body, I discovered that she was already pregnant. This made it much harder to treat her.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt took me a whole day to stop the bleeding and clean and stitch up the wounds. As for her face, I couldn\u2019t bring myself to touch it. I could only seal the pressure points around the wound to control the further decay.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, the next day, when I noticed that your grandma\u2019s condition had stabilized, the other side of her face, where the pressure points weren\u2019t sealed, also started to decay. This shocked me, and countless medical treatments and mysterious illnesses flashed through my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
At this point, Carson helplessly shook his head. At this moment, Cherise\u2019s eyes flared with anger. \u201cShe was cursed wh witchcraft.<\/p>\n
Carson nodded with certainty. \u201cYou\u2019re right. You even know about witchcraft.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI came across it during my time in Betrico,\u201d Cherise replied honestly.<\/p>\n
Carson looked at her. \u201cBe careful. It sounds scary, but it\u2019s not as terrifying as it seems. However, it can be dangerous at times.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour grandma was afflicted with this curse back in the day. There were these two small black worms, barely noticeable, appearing in her right forearm.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve read about this kind of thing. I\u2019m not afraid of it, but I was worried someone wanted to ruin your grandma\u2019s face. After all, you know, she originally looked just like you\u2013so beautiful.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce I realized this, I knew I had to act quickly. If it continued, not just her entire face, her whole body could even rot away. \u201cI had no choice but to destroy the cursed worms and quickly remove the rotting parts of her face. It was almost like giving her a new face. But in those circumstances, there was no other way.<\/p>\n
