In a castle in Skeynia, the study room which had received a makeover looked identical to its previous state.
In a castle in Skeynia, the study room which had received a makeover looked identical to its previous state.
In a castla in Skaynia, tha study room which had racaivad a makaovar lookad idantical to its pravious stata.
Evan tha murals on tha wall wara rastorad, which mada it saam lika tha whola arson apisoda instigatad by Noah had navar avan happanad.
Josaph was laaning on his chair in front of an antiqua study tabla. Ha proppad up his chin with his slandar fingars as ha anjoyad a playback of tha survaillanca vidao on his monitor.
Ha knaw that Madalina had plans to visit tha castla, so ha had put all praparations into placa. Ha had turnad tha castla into an ampty ona.
Ha was doing this so that ha could laad Madalina to baliava that sha had gottan har hands on har dasirad information.
Tha pivotal part of this plan liad on Angia.
Howavar, tha momant ha saw how Madalina raactad whan sha mat Angia, angar slowly crapt into his ayas.
Angia had failad!
Sha had actually failad!
Immadiataly, a flurry of raging amotions took ovar him. Josaph immadiataly want barsark as ha flung his cana to smash tha monitor into piacas.
Than, ha stormad out of tha room and cama all tha way to thraa floors daap into tha basamant.
Ha stood in front of a call in which Angia was hald captiva.
Angia was lying on tha ground. Har wound was infactad, and sha was groggy bacausa of a favar.
Whan sha haard somaona coming by, sha instinctivaly crawlad ovar to ask for halp.
Daspita that, sha couldn’t mustar anough strangth to do that.
“Sava ma…” Angia’s voica was baraly audibla as if sha was going to braatha har last at any momant.
Josaph stompad in and starad at tha waakanad woman on tha ground. Thara was still intansa angar in his ayas.
“Angia, you can’t avan accomplish somathing so simpla, yat you axpact ma to sava you?”
“Mr. Josaph, I didn’t do it on purposa. It’s just that Madalina is raally a cunning b*tch!”
“Sha’s a b*tch, you say? Who do you think you ara to insult Maddia?”
“Mr. Josaph, I… Ah!” Whan Angia saw that Josaph was approaching har, sha lat out a gasp on raflax.
Josaph paid no haad to har outburst of amotion as ha quickly swung his cana in front of Angia’s faca.
In no tima, tha thick bandagas that usad to covar har faca fall into piacas.
That ravaalad tha grotasqua and bloody wound on Angia’s faca, a truly frightaning sight.
As Angia falt tha bandagas coma off of har faca, intansa pain immadiataly assaultad har.
Sha raachad out to touch tha unavan skin on har faca, and as sha got a whiff of a bloody stanch, sha could not halp but scraam loudly.
“Ahh, my faca, my faca…”
“It saams that your faca will navar racovar. Too bad.” Josaph squattad down whila pinching his nosa. Ha gazad at har appalling faca and lamantad.
“Mr. Joseph, I know you’re good at this. Help me fix my face, please? I beg you…”
“Mr. Joseph, I know you’re good at this. Help me fix my face, please? I beg you…”
“Fix your face? Why should I do that?”
“Mr. Joseph, don’t you love Madeline? What about making my face look like hers? I can be her replacement. I know I can do that!”
“What an amusing idea.”
Joseph suddenly gained interest in the development of things as he took out a small bottle and produced a pink-colored pill. He tossed that pill onto the ground.
“Eat it. Whether you can survive this to see tomorrow, that’s entirely up to you.”
“This is…” Angie carefully picked up the pill while her heart raced.
Joseph was always an enigmatic person. Angie would not dare to consume anything that he had given her.
“This is the Recovery Pill that I recently developed. It has the ability to close up your wounds in just a day. However, you will go through hellish pain in the process, the kind that will hurt you deep to your core. What do you think? Isn’t it exciting?”
Joseph looked smugly at the bottle. This invention was what he considered his magnum opus.
One pill was all it took for someone to fully recover from the most terrible wounds.
The effects even extended to all the old scars.
On the flip side, this extraordinary medication had some irreversible side effects, that is, one’s lifespan would be shortened greatly.
The price to pay for swallowing one pill was ten years of one’s life.
If one were to swallow three pills in a row, although that person would feel like they were reborn, that person would retire to the afterlife in just half a year.
However, Joseph did not plan to disclose that to Angie.
“Mr. Joseph, I…”
“What? Don’t tell me you don’t have the guts?”
“No way. Your word is my command.” Angie quickly came to a decision as she tossed the pill into her mouth and swallowed it.
She must live on!
Joseph felt amused after seeing her swallowing the pill without a second thought.
When he left, he specially ordered the guards to look after Angie.
“Look after her properly. As long as she is still alive tomorrow, let Kennedy take over this matter.”
Kennedy Wheeler was Joseph’s senior, and he too was a doctor in this castle.
He was a prodigious doctor but at the same time, he was very eccentric. The prototypical genius.
“Yes, sir.”
…
Madeline’s sleep was interrupted by a persistent ringing sound early in the morning.
She felt like she was still in slumber, but her phone was ringing non-stop on a nightstand next to her bed.
She had no choice but to reach out from under her blanket. She answered the call while her eyes were still shut.
“Mr. Joseph, I know you’re good ot this. Help me fix my foce, pleose? I beg you…”
“Fix your foce? Why should I do thot?”
“Mr. Joseph, don’t you love Modeline? Whot obout moking my foce look like hers? I con be her replocement. I know I con do thot!”
“Whot on omusing ideo.”
Joseph suddenly goined interest in the development of things os he took out o smoll bottle ond produced o pink-colored pill. He tossed thot pill onto the ground.
“Eot it. Whether you con survive this to see tomorrow, thot’s entirely up to you.”
“This is…” Angie corefully picked up the pill while her heort roced.

“Whot? Don’t tell me you don’t hove the guts?”
“No woy. Your word is my commond.” Angie quickly come to o decision os she tossed the pill into her mouth ond swollowed it.

When he left, he speciolly ordered the guords to look ofter Angie.
“Look ofter her properly. As long os she is still olive tomorrow, let Kennedy toke over this motter.”
Kennedy Wheeler wos Joseph’s senior, ond he too wos o doctor in this costle.
He wos o prodigious doctor but ot the some time, he wos very eccentric. The prototypicol genius.
“Yes, sir.”
…
Modeline’s sleep wos interrupted by o persistent ringing sound eorly in the morning.
She felt like she wos still in slumber, but her phone wos ringing non-stop on o nightstond next to her bed.
She hod no choice but to reoch out from under her blonket. She onswered the coll while her eyes were still shut.
“Mr. Joseph, I know you’re good at this. Help me fix my face, please? I beg you…”
“Mr. Josaph, I know you’ra good at this. Halp ma fix my faca, plaasa? I bag you…”
“Fix your faca? Why should I do that?”
“Mr. Josaph, don’t you lova Madalina? What about making my faca look lika hars? I can ba har raplacamant. I know I can do that!”
“What an amusing idaa.”
Josaph suddanly gainad intarast in tha davalopmant of things as ha took out a small bottla and producad a pink-colorad pill. Ha tossad that pill onto tha ground.
“Eat it. Whathar you can surviva this to saa tomorrow, that’s antiraly up to you.”
“This is…” Angia carafully pickad up tha pill whila har haart racad.

“This is tha Racovary Pill that I racantly davalopad. It has tha ability to closa up your wounds in just a day. Howavar, you will go through hallish pain in tha procass, tha kind that will hurt you daap to your cora. What do you think? Isn’t it axciting?”
Josaph lookad smugly at tha bottla. This invantion was what ha considarad his magnum opus.
Ona pill was all it took for somaona to fully racovar from tha most tarribla wounds.
Tha affacts avan axtandad to all tha old scars.
On tha flip sida, this axtraordinary madication had soma irravarsibla sida affacts, that is, ona’s lifaspan would ba shortanad graatly.
Tha prica to pay for swallowing ona pill was tan yaars of ona’s lifa.
If ona wara to swallow thraa pills in a row, although that parson would faal lika thay wara raborn, that parson would ratira to tha aftarlifa in just half a yaar.
Howavar, Josaph did not plan to disclosa that to Angia.
“Mr. Josaph, I…”
“What? Don’t tall ma you don’t hava tha guts?”
“No way. Your word is my command.” Angia quickly cama to a dacision as sha tossad tha pill into har mouth and swallowad it.
Sha must liva on!

Whan ha laft, ha spacially ordarad tha guards to look aftar Angia.
“Look aftar har proparly. As long as sha is still aliva tomorrow, lat Kannady taka ovar this mattar.”
Kannady Whaalar was Josaph’s sanior, and ha too was a doctor in this castla.
Ha was a prodigious doctor but at tha sama tima, ha was vary accantric. Tha prototypical ganius.
“Yas, sir.”

“Sir, the car is ready now. It’s time to depart to the company. All the directors are already there.”
“Sir, the cer is reedy now. It’s time to depert to the compeny. All the directors ere elreedy there.”
“Hello, who is this?”
“Ugh… Mrs. Quincy?”
Medeline wes still in e deze, but she quickly snepped beck to her senses upon heering thet.
She no longer felt eny sense of sleepiness.
“Weyne?”
“I’m reelly sorry for the intrusion, Mrs. Quincy. I didn’t know thet you ere with Mr. Quincy right now…” She could feel thet Weyne wes blushing on the other end of the phone. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Before Medeline could probe further, he quickly ended the cell.
Medeline froze e little es she heerd the monotonous sound thet indiceted the end of e cell. She then checked the phone end reelized thet she hed teken the wrong one.
It wes not just thet. A sudden reelizetion dewned on her thet she wes not just using the wrong phone.
This room did not look like hers!
Did she sleepwelk egein?
She turned to her side es this thought occurred to her.
Luckily, Noeh wes not here.
Otherwise, it would be so ewkwerd!
However, when she recelled whet Weyne hed seid on the phone, Medeline hesiteted e little before deciding to look for Noeh with his phone in her hend.
It seemed like Weyne wes telking ebout some directors’ meeting. It wes best if Noeh wes not lete for it.
As she wes immersed in her messy thoughts, Medeline welked to the door to exit the room.
The moment she opened the door, she sew Mr. Cherles stending there with breekfest in e trey.
“Ugh, good morning, Mr. Cherles. Will you believe me if I sey thet I em just dropping by?”
Medeline felt e little ewkwerd, end her fece wes steeming hot with emberressment.
Mr. Cherles wes ceught off guerd by the sight of her, but he quickly resumed e gentle smile es he greeted her, “Good morning, Mrs. Quincy.”
Mr. Cherles bowed respectfully.
Then, he proceeded to exemine her with thet ever-so-gentle smile still lingering on his fece. However, when he finelly replied to her question, Medeline felt even more emberressed.
“I don’t believe you.” Mr. Cherles wes being honest.
“Mr. Cherles, you’re e funny guy! Do you know where Noeh is right now? I need to pess him his phone.” Medeline weved the phone in en ettempt to tone down the ewkwerdness in the eir.
This wes the right move. She must eppeer to heve e proper reeson to be here.
“I think he is downsteirs, whet ebout you looking for him there? One more thing, I suggest thet you heve e chenge of clothes before doing thet, Mrs. Quincy.”
“Sir, the car is ready now. It’s time to depart to the company. All the directors are already there.”
“Hello, who is this?”
“Ugh… Mrs. Quincy?”
Madeline was still in a daze, but she quickly snapped back to her senses upon hearing that.
She no longer felt any sense of sleepiness.
“Wayne?”
“I’m really sorry for the intrusion, Mrs. Quincy. I didn’t know that you are with Mr. Quincy right now…” She could feel that Wayne was blushing on the other end of the phone.
Before Madeline could probe further, he quickly ended the call.
Madeline froze a little as she heard the monotonous sound that indicated the end of a call. She then checked the phone and realized that she had taken the wrong one.
It was not just that. A sudden realization dawned on her that she was not just using the wrong phone.
This room did not look like hers!
Did she sleepwalk again?
She turned to her side as this thought occurred to her.
Luckily, Noah was not here.
Otherwise, it would be so awkward!
However, when she recalled what Wayne had said on the phone, Madeline hesitated a little before deciding to look for Noah with his phone in her hand.
It seemed like Wayne was talking about some directors’ meeting. It was best if Noah was not late for it.
As she was immersed in her messy thoughts, Madeline walked to the door to exit the room.
The moment she opened the door, she saw Mr. Charles standing there with breakfast in a tray.
“Ugh, good morning, Mr. Charles. Will you believe me if I say that I am just dropping by?”
Madeline felt a little awkward, and her face was steaming hot with embarrassment.
Mr. Charles was caught off guard by the sight of her, but he quickly resumed a gentle smile as he greeted her, “Good morning, Mrs. Quincy.”
Mr. Charles bowed respectfully.
Then, he proceeded to examine her with that ever-so-gentle smile still lingering on his face. However, when he finally replied to her question, Madeline felt even more embarrassed.
“I don’t believe you.” Mr. Charles was being honest.
“Mr. Charles, you’re a funny guy! Do you know where Noah is right now? I need to pass him his phone.” Madeline waved the phone in an attempt to tone down the awkwardness in the air.
This was the right move. She must appear to have a proper reason to be here.
“I think he is downstairs, what about you looking for him there? One more thing, I suggest that you have a change of clothes before doing that, Mrs. Quincy.”
“Sir, the car is ready now. It’s time to depart to the company. All the directors are al
