A few days ago, Summer returned to the Willis family in hiding.
The last time she tried to seduce Lachlan, she almost got killed and had to reveal some secrets to stay alive. This made Summer realize that she couldn't control Lachlan and it was unlikely that she would get any further information about the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant from him.
So, she returned to the Willis family and reported some half-truths and half-lies before seeking out Wicked Bone.
Wicked Bone was quite fond of Summer as both his lover and disciple. Especially since she was skilled in sorcery which made their time together even more enjoyable.
Just then, Summer's phone rang and when she saw who was calling, her eyebrows raised in surprise.
"Is it him?" muttered Summer.
"Who is he?" asked Wicked Bone as he sat up.
"It's exactly what I told you, that Lachlan!" said Summer.
"Oh? The ancient traitor of the family?"
"Exactly," replied Summer.
Upon hearing this, Wicked Bone's face lit up with interest.
After Summer returned, she talked to him about Lachlan and wanted Wicked Bone to help her control him, to extract the truth about the whereabouts of the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant from his mouth.
Whens he picked up the phone, Summer chuckled with a seductive voice.
"Isn't this Lachlan? Why did you suddenly decide to call me?" she asked with interest.
She thought that after he resisted her enchantment and broke the spell she placed on him last time, he wouldn't contact her again.
"My daughter fell ill again!" Lachlan said with a somber tone.
Upon hearing this, Summer quipped, "Oh? How does my relationship with your daughter have anything to do with her illness? I can't help her either."
Lachlan took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "My daughter's illness this time has prolonged, and she has regained a slight awareness. Do you know what will happen after this curse? Is it possible that the duration of her illness will increase, and she will become more and more conscious?"
Summer pondered for a moment and said lightly, "It seems that the curse of the ancient Willis family does indeed work that way. Your daughter will become more and more tormented."
Upon hearing this, Lachlan felt as if a huge hammer had struck his heart mercilessly.
"Then... do you have any solutions? I don't expect the curse to be completely lifted, but do you know any methods to alleviate my daughter's suffering? To stop the curse from worsening?"
He called Summer with a glimmer of hope.
So far, only this woman knew about Nora's curse. Lachlan himself learned about it from her.
One could say that Summer, as a descendant of a collateral branch of the ancient Willis family, was currently the person who understood this curse the most.
Although he regarded this woman as treacherous, Lachlan had no choice but to seek her advice.
Summer's face showed a hint of mockery upon hearing his words. She exchanged a glance with Wicked Bone.
"It seems... there might be a way! But I can't explain it over the phone. How about this, I'll come to see you in a few days!"
"Good! Please come as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Lachlan's eyes lit up.
Although he was cautious of Summer and held some doubts about her words, when it came to Nora, he was willing to try even if there was a glimmer of hope.
