Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1853

Karl: There's more to it as well. Given the size of the bones, it is likely these bones belonged to a kid. That would destroy whatever geomantic omen this place is meant to bring its owner. Legends say that the curse will be more potent if the person buried here is related to the child.

Karl added that last sentence to warn Sebastian.

Whether they were real or not, these were what some people would believe.

Sebastian remained silent.

It was true he didn't believe in any of it, but his subordinate made a valid point about being wary of the supposed intentions. It was something he had to deal with.

In other words, someone who wishes eternal damnation for Eddie buried the clay pot there. Who could the culprit be? Also, if those bones likely belonged to a kid who is related to Eddie...

Even someone as incredibly intelligent as Sebastian fell into deep thought.

In the village in Yeringham, Ian felt much better when he woke up the next morning. Some of his energy was replenished, and his appetite had returned.

Susan was up early as well.

She knew that Ian was a picky eater, so she had woken up early to go to a farmhouse in the village to get some flour and egg. She had even picked some fresh vegetables from the field.

That was why Ian detected the alluring scent of delicious breakfast when he walked down the stairs that day.

"Ian, you're up. I bet you’re hungry. Take a seat. I'll be done in a minute," said Susan from the kitchen when she saw Ian.

However, Ian didn't leave. He had a white shirt on and was staring at the thing in front of him. He walked to it and looked down at it in confusion.

What is this?

He reached out.

"Don't touch that, Ian. It's a water pump!" Susan shouted in surprise.

Unfortunately, she was too late. All she heard was a loud splash. The mechanism that was pumping water from the spring began working as soon as Ian removed the cork.

The water splashed right onto his face.

Susan was stunned.

When she came back to her senses, she rushed out of the kitchen, grabbed a dry towel from the floor above, and ran to Ian after that.

"Here, dry yourself up. Ah, this is all my fault. I forgot to remind you that this water pump works in a way such that the water will shoot upward if you pull that cork."

Susan felt terrible about it.

She held the dry towel and quickly wiped the water off of

Ian's face because she was worried that he would catch a cold.

Fortunately, the water wasn't too strong. It only got Ian's face wet, so Ian was basically fine after Susan dried him up.

Ian recomposed himself and said, "That is so stupid. There's a thing called pressure pump."
