Daisy shot Maeve a panicked look for help.
Maeve gently squeezed her shoulder.
"For your own safety, you have to stay away from The Quiet Garden for a while."
"As long as your father stays indoors, I'll make sure he's completely protected."
"Besides, you really don't want him seeing you in this condition."
Her missing fingernails would grow back eventually, but it was going to be a grueling recovery.
Daisy knew she was right.
She was just completely intimidated by this massive bald guy.
He was surprisingly handsome, but he had a terrifying edge to him.
She lowered her voice to a whisper.
"Is he really trustworthy?"
Benjamin let out a dry snort.
"What's wrong, sweetheart? Afraid I'm going to bite?"
Daisy shrank behind Maeve, the absolute terror written clearly all over her face.
Maeve shot him a warning glare, silently telling him to back off.
Properly threatened, Benjamin straightened up.
"Miss Duke, please allow me the honor of ensuring your safety for the foreseeable future."
Before leaving the villa, Maeve searched Nancy's private suite and found exactly what she was looking for—three remaining Heartseal Pills.
As she suspected, the distinct medicinal scent and custom packaging confirmed it was Griffin's handiwork.
A single pill was potent enough to keep a failing heart pumping for at least three months.
Wasting such a miraculous cure on a monster was an absolute tragedy.
With a cold sneer, she tossed the capsules onto the floor and crushed them mercilessly beneath her boot.
The priceless medication was ground into a worthless, fragrant paste.
After destroying the pills, she strategically placed dark talismans in key corners of the room to ruin its energy.
Anyone who lived in this house from now on would be plagued by constant misfortune and chronic illness.
Nancy's beloved secret sanctuary was now officially cursed and useless.
