Chapter 956 -956: Spreading the News
One week later, the semester began at Libanan University, and Xaviera Evans got busier. However, when she got off work today, she saw an acquaintance she hadnât seen for a long time in the living room.
âBig Brother, how come youâre here?â
Elijah Flack had been busy filming and running around the country, but somehow he showed up at her door today.
The man gently pinched Xavieraâs soft cheek with a tender expression, but there was a hint of heaviness in his gaze. âI received some information that someone is secretly investigating you, and they have traced it back to me.â
Xaviera frowned, why would anyone investigate her?
Elijah quietly comforted her: âDonât worry. Someone just wants to find the successor of the Miracle Doctor Saint Hand, but they havenât found out itâs you yet. What surprises me is that their search for the successor is because they know that the blood of the descendant can detoxificate, so⊠theyâre probably looking for your blood, which is not good news.â
Xavieraâs gaze turned cold, âWhen did you find out?â
âIn fact, someone had already started taking action half a month ago, but I received the news ten days ago. This message has been passed around, and now everyone knows.â
Elijah wasnât sure if their opponent was deliberately spreading the news, or if they had other goals. In any case, more than one person was investigating her.
âThe Hughes family is also looking for you.â Elijah casually stated, âCory Hughes and Madam Hughes are searching everywhere for the successor of the Miracle Doctor Saint Hand, but I have investigated and found that they are not poisoned.â
Xavieraâs face turned serious: âNo matter the reason, I need to find out who is spreading the news. Since they can trace it back to you, it means they have already grasped some information and will eventually find me, or itâs that the person who is spreading the news knows I am the successor of the Miracle Doctor Saint Hand and is deliberately leading everyone to me, causing me trouble.â
Elijah had already thought of this, so he rushed over to remind Xaviera. Merely based on the fact that her blood has detoxificative properties, everyone would be eager to find her.
They could imprison Xaviera, keep her like an animal, draw a little blood from her daily, and sell her blood as a high-priced antidote for profit.
Elijahâs gaze suddenly turned icy: âXaviera, there may be many people who know that the blood of the Miracle Doctor Saint Handâs descendant can detoxificate, but only those close to you know that you are the descendant. Being your senior fellow, we would naturally not leak this information. That only leaves Caleb Mamet. You have to be on guard.â
âI trust him,â Xaviera said without hesitation.
âI know he wouldnât do such a thing, but it doesnât mean the people around him wouldnât. Think carefully, who could possibly know about this? He doesnât have many people around him, so be more cautious. When I am not around, you have to take good care of yourself, and notify me of any changes.â
Xaviera felt slightly heavy-hearted. She nodded and said in a low voice, âAlright.â
âYour second brother has temporarily suppressed the news, so you donât have to worry too much, but as for CalebâŠâ Elijah paused, remembering that he had bumped into Caleb when he entered the house. He subconsciously glanced at Caleb and noticed something was off.
By all accounts, the poison inside Caleb should have been neutralized. Although it would be difficult to completely eliminate it at once, at least it would not flare up again. However, when Elijah looked at Caleb just now, he clearly saw a dull gray hue in his eyes, looking empty and lifeless.
Although it was getting darker outside, the sun had not fully set yet. Furthermore, Xaviera had already detoxified him; this situation should not have occurred.
Elijah stopped thinking and looked deeply into Xavieraâs eyes. Ultimately, he did not mention Calebâs condition but simply said lightly: âRemember, be more wary of the people around you.â
âXaviera, Iâm going to participate in a program soon, and they happen to need a fashion designer. Do you want to come with me, like a little vacation?â Elijah asked.
He had known the showâs director for many years, and they would certainly not reject his recommendation for a designer. Moreover, he couldnât feel at ease with Xaviera staying in Libanan, so it was better for her to follow him and take a break from her home and thoughts.
Xaviera asked, âWhere?â
âTorree City, a two-hour drive from Libanan. Are you afraid Caleb wonât agree?â
Xaviera frowned, feeling an inexplicable irritability in her heart. Ever since Caleb returned from his business trip, he had been acting a bit strange. If it were just because he was tired from the trip, he should have recovered by now. However, he still gave off an enigmatic vibe.
