Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1637

Upon seeing the scene, Daphne was so terrified that she screamed, “No!”

It was a poisonous worm.

She did not expect the young man to know that. After all, he had been away from Elysium for five years. How does he know how to raise the worms?

Even people from Elysium did not necessarily possess that talent. Other than the high priests themselves, not many people could take care of those worms and keep them alive.

“D-Don’t touch them. I will wake her up now.”

Daphne finally admitted defeat.

Afterward, she took out a bell and shook it in front of Vivian, who still had her eyes shut.

The next instant, Kurt saw her lush eyelashes flickering.

“Vivi? Are you okay?”

“Kurt… A-Am I finally back?”

Vivian opened her eyes, and when they landed on the youth standing before her, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Kurt immediately held her ice-cold hands and pulled her trembling body in for a hug.

“You’re back. Are you feeling all right?”

“I’m fine.”

Vivian did not feel like talking at that moment. She buried her ashen face in his warm chest and listened to his heartbeat, which seemed to calm her down.

Earlier on, in her dreams, she had been frightened.

When Kurt saw that, he tightened his embrace.

Daphne said, “S-Since I have already woken her up, can you release that poisonous worm now?”

Seeing that Vivian had become conscious, that woman started to make her demands, albeit fearfully. She wanted them to release the worm that was controlling her.

However, Kurt gave a devilish smile.

“Release it? You are such a sinister person. Who’s to say there won’t be another incident like this?”

“No, there won’t be. I promise you. It won’t happen again,” the woman swore, agitated.

The way Kurt was looking at her sent a chill down her spine. Gradually, he released the red string in his hand, causing Daphne to let out a relieved sigh.

Just when she thought she had fooled him, something flew in front of her all of a sudden.

“Ah!”

A scream filled the entire place.

Her son, who was next to her, was covering his eyes.

Seeing that, Daphne became furious and questioned him, “What did you do? What went into my son’s eyes?”
