Chapter 771: Chapter 770: Why Do You Smell So Good?

No wonder Miles O’Brien couldn’t be found in the capital city or at home, and even her phone was unreachable. It turned out she was close to death.

Elijah Burch was kind-hearted, intending to help Miles O’Brien come to her senses, but the attempt not only failed, it caused serious injury. Therefore, when Elijah Burch returned to Dragon Gate World, she did not immediately seek herself, but went in search of a certain herb.

While flying, Elijah Burch explained in detail everything that had happened over the past days, including how she managed to snatch back her black robe upon returning to Dragon Gate World through a fortunate coincidence.

Mount Changbai boasts Heaven Lake, a place of legend where a water monster is said to dwell. But whether such a creature exists, no one really knows.

On the northern slope of Changbai Mountain, a place perennially deserted and rarely trodden by human feet, despite the development of various projects, the north side remains covered in ice and snow all year round and is steep beyond measure.

When Yusuf Zuck arrived, without needing Elijah Burch to point out the direction, he spotted a cave and saw inside both the elderly Huang and Miles O’Brien.

"Louise!" The moment in his telekinesis when he saw Miles O’Brien, Yusuf Zuck’s heart clenched because she looked like nothing more than skin and bones. Already tall, she now appeared to have dropped below a hundred pounds, her sallow complexion stretched tight over her skeletal frame as she lay immobile inside the cave.

Like the wind, Yusuf Zuck rushed into the cave and tightly embraced her before the elderly Huang could react.

He had never blamed Miles O’Brien for not following him to Dragon Gate World, as she was merely an ordinary person. An ordinary person who felt helpless when witnessing her close friend getting killed right before her eyes, and who was plagued by constant nightmares!

She was not a strong woman. She was simply a demure lady.

Her decision not to go to Dragon Gate World didn’t mean she lacked courage or didn’t love Yusuf Zuck—it was simply that she couldn’t cope with the bloody sights.

Yusuf Zuck held the unconscious woman tightly and then gently moved his finger to her mouth.

Neither the elderly Huang nor Elijah Burch spoke, both sighing heavily. When Miles O’Brien decided not to go with Yusuf Zuck to Dragon Gate World, she herself suffered greatly. After Yusuf Zuck left, her yearning for him grew stronger, and her reticence—her tendency to keep everything bottled up inside—led to her illness. Already emotionally wounded, added to her agony of longing, worry, disappointment, and helplessness, it was inevitable that her attempt to awaken would fail.

Thus, without having awakened, coupled with damage to her meridians and spirit, the dual blows led to her sudden illness. If it had not been for the elderly Huang sustaining her life, using various herbal medicines and Ginseng to keep her breathing, she would have already passed away.

Yusuf Zuck tenderly stroked her hair and held her tightly, his heart aching.

He did not want to give up on anyone. Once his, they would be his for a lifetime.

The miraculous effects of the Purple Droplets activated within her body and the intense pain finally brought her back to consciousness—somewhat resembling the returning light of a dying flame. She opened her eyes and saw Yusuf Zuck’s face.

Tears rolled down instantaneously, and with difficulty, she reached out to touch Yusuf Zuck’s face.

"It’s not that I didn’t want to go with you, I was scared, Yusuf Zuck, I was so scared..." she sobbed uncontrollably.

"We won’t go, we won’t go anymore, none of us will. It’s my selfishness, all my selfishness, for not considering your feelings, I’m so sorry," Yusuf Zuck kept comforting her, gently patting her.

For several years, Miles O’Brien played the role of a devoted wife and mother splendidly, without any complaints, greed, or deceitful schemes.

Where in the world could one find such a woman?

Yusuf Zuck regretted leaving her behind in the mundane world; he should have forcibly taken her with him from the start.

Three minutes later, her vitality, meridians, and complexion, among other things, had all returned to normal.

The miraculous Purple Droplets proved even more effective than the Immortal Pill.

Of course, her body was still extremely weak. While her vitality and damaged meridians had healed, the weight she had lost wouldn’t just return.

"Let’s go back to the capital city. Grandfather Huang, thank you," Yusuf Zuck gratefully glanced at the elderly Huang and said.

"It’s good that you’ve woken up, it’s good. Did you see Jing Cheng and Felicity in the Dragon Gate World?" the elderly Huang asked worriedly.

"No, but I should have some news next time I go," Yusuf Zuck nodded and replied.

"Hmm, you just said you’re not leaving?" Elder Huang looked at him and said.

"I won’t take my loved ones there anymore, so even if I have to go, I’ll just sneak over for a quick look."

"That’s good. Once again, you must keep the secret of the secret passage safe!" the elderly Huang said solemnly.

"Yes, next time I go there, I’ll make it more hidden!"

"Alright then, you go ahead. I’m about to solidify the pill, and I also want to thank you for your elixir," laughed Mr. Huang.

"Okay, I won’t disturb you any longer. Louise needs nourishment, so I’ll take her back first!" Yusuf Zuck bid farewell to Mr. Huang and quickly left with Miles O’Brien and Elijah Burch.

Miles O’Brien was brought back by Yusuf Zuck directly to her own villa.

Yusuf Zuck did not hide the news of Miles O’Brien’s return and informed the others.

However, what Yusuf Zuck didn’t expect was that the first to arrive were Mia and Ruth Wilcox, who bought an entire car full of nutrition products. Then Ruth personally cooked, with Mia acting as the helper, making porridge and soup.

Miles O’Brien silently shed tears because she had never imagined that Ruth Wilcox would be the first to visit and even cook for her personally.

"Don’t think about anything else, we are good sisters. From now on, we’ll have a good life together," said Ruth, holding her hand.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Ms. Wilcox," Miles O’Brien said, nodding and crying.

"What Ms. Wilcox? Aren’t I younger than you? Just call me Ruth. I’m going to make some bird’s nest soup for you," Ruth smiled and walked out.

Meanwhile, downstairs in the main hall, Mia was busily sizing up Elijah Burch, making her feel unease.

Of course, up to now, Mia didn’t know who Elijah Burch was, let alone that she was a supernatural being, because neither Ruth nor Yusuf had the chance to tell her.

She was curious as to how she had never known this woman before.

"What brand of perfume are you wearing?" Mia asked.

"I’m not wearing any perfume..." Elijah Burch said awkwardly.

"How come you smell so good if you didn’t spray any? What brand is your body wash?"

"I don’t use body wash when I take a shower..." Elijah Burch was a bit scared, standing awkwardly in the living room.

Mia glanced around, noticing that Yusuf and Ruth weren’t there, and whispered slyly, "So what’s the deal between you and Yusuf?"

"He is my master, and you are the lady of the house," Elijah Burch bowed.

"Pfft—" Mia nearly choked on her own spit. What was going on?

"Then tell me why you smell so good, you look really beautiful," Mia said with a grin.

"It’s my natural body scent." Although Elijah Burch was subservient, Mia’s questioning made her feel a sense of pride—humans certainly didn’t smell as good as she did.

"Ah... really?" Mia opened her mouth wide in disbelief.

"What are you talking about? Elijah, you’ve worked hard," Ruth came downstairs at that moment.

"It’s not hard. Miss Mia doesn’t seem to know that I’m a supernatural being yet..." Elijah Burch didn’t recognize Mia, but she certainly knew her.

"What do you mean? You’re a supernatural being too?" Mia jumped to her feet.

"Sister, are you for real? Don’t scare me!" Mia was incredulous, mouth agape—this beautiful woman didn’t seem to have any other supernatural features besides her scent; weren’t supernatural beings supposed to be furry?

While Elijah Burch and Ruth were at a loss for words downstairs, more visitors had come to the yard—Paisley Kirk had picked up three little girls from school and had come straight here.

"Whoa, triplets and such beauties! Whose kids are these? They are so pretty..."

Yusuf, who was walking down the stairs at that moment, nearly fell over after hearing Mia’s comment.

In everyone’s eyes, the triplets were just children!
