Billionaire’s Missing Darling (Olivia and Daniel) novel Chapter 424

Chapter 424

Because Olivia had done so much for Huntley, Huntley felt grateful in her heart. These past few days, she had been researching various materials and trying to find a way to draw out the voodoo worm. Unfortunately, there were not many records passed down to Huntley, and in her generation, the lineal branch of the family had few remaining members. They were all from the side branches and had not understanding of voodoo. Olivia furrowed her brows deeply. Despite constantly reminding herself to relax and not worry too much, she could not help but frown.

Inside the room, Huntley was looking up information, while Olivia stood outside, gazing at the distant blue sky. Yesterday, the deputy director called and said that her grandfather’s condition had worsened a lot. His various organs were deteriorating rapidly, and he might not last much longer. Olivia hadn’t eaten much today, but her stomach felt unsettled, and she had constant acid reflux. Daniel walked over and put a coat on her from behind. “It’s windy. Wear some more clothes.”

Olivia buried her head in Daniel’s chest, showing her vulnerability for the first time. “What should I do? I can’t save my grandfather.”

Daniel’s expression was deep, but his tone carried a comforting strength. “It’s not going to happen. He has good luck, and I’m still waiting for him to wake up to officiate our wedding. The reason they had postponed their wedding for so long, despite being engaged for a significant time, was that they were waiting for Isaac to wake up. For Olivia, Isaac was her most important family member. He had raised her and taught her medicine and the ways of life. He was the person who loved her the most in the world. Olivia did not want him to miss her wedding. She wanted to save her grandfather and bring him back.

“Don’t worry.” Daniel embraced Olivia, shielding her from the dry, cool wind. “Give Huntley some more time. With so much information, she’s bound to take her time and maybe, at some point, she’ll find some clues.”

As they were speaking, Huntley excitedly ran over holding an old book. “I found it, I found it!” She was so excited that she was speaking incoherently, “I… I found the source of the voodoo worm. It’s a type of voodoo worm called ‘Chunjot. They are extremely cold and chilly. They spend most of their lives in hibernation. Once awakened, they require a large amount of heat and warm energy to sustain themselves. Chunjot cannot exist on their own, and they must parasitize other living creatures. If it resides in a human body, it will continuously roam within the body along with blood circulation. As long as it isn’t deliberately awakened, the constant heat within the human body is enough to keep it in hibernation. When the host body experiences an accident, like significant blood loss or the person becoming a vegetative state, when there is not enough heat and warm energy, Chunjot will awaken to protect its own survival, starting to continuously absorb the vitality of the host.”

Olivia instinctively gripped Daniel’s hand and asked, “Does the book mention. how to draw them out?”

Huntley nodded. “Yes, there’s a way. Chunjot is naturally attracted to creatures that are extremely warm and with heat. There is a legendary creature called the ‘Golden Voodoo King‘ that is extremely warm and with heat, and it has an irresistible attraction to Chunjot. As long as it’s present, Chunjot will abandon its host and leave the human body.”

Olivia narrowed her eyes and grasped the key point immediately. “A legendary creature?”

Huntley looked somewhat apologetic. “Yes, the Golden Voodoo King has not been seen for centuries. It’s extremely rare and mostly exists in legends. However, there’s something else that might work, although it may not have the same level of attraction to Chunjot as the Golden Voodoo King. It’s a type of spice called “voodoo incense. When burned, it emits a unique fragrance that can also draw out Chunjot.

Olivia had never heard of any of these things and could not grasp the underlying principles. She furrowed her brow and asked, “What is voodoo incense? Can it be made by ourselves, and what are the ingredients needed?”

Huntley shook her head. “Ms. Taylor, Mr. Sullivan, there are things in this world that you might not be aware of, things that science cannot explain. In today’s society, voodoo is no longer mainstream, and many people on the internet claim that voodoo worms are fake, just a type of poison. To be honest, although I am a member of the Lloyd family, my understanding of the principles behind these things is limited. I know the basics but not the underlying reasons. With that, Huntley paused and then walked into the room. “Ms. Taylor, explaining the matter of voodoo will take some time. Let’s continue the conversation inside.” Olivia nodded and followed her into the room. She sat down to listen to Huntley’s explanation. After Huntley finished explaining, Olivia learned about a group of people living in a way she had never known, completely detached from modern society and following ancient traditions passed down for thousands of years. Huntley emphasized a few major voodoo families, including the Sprout family, the Flores family, and the Dale family.

“Ms. Taylor, in fact, our Lloyd family’s voodoo skills are not the best, but we can. barely be considered one of them. In recent years, due to the decline of our family and me being the only one left, we can no longer compete with other families. Voodoo incense is a unique spice with a strong attraction to the extremely cold and chilly voodoo worm. It used to be the main method voodoo practitioners used to catch worms. However, the recipe has been lost over time, and even if we had the recipe, we would not be able to find the necessary ingredients.”

Olivia looked at Huntley and asked, “So, is there no other way?”
