Marty spotted Madison and Josephine. They might be of different ages, but both were strikingly beautiful and had a graceful demeanor.
Marty hall–heartedly comforted Carol and Kenneth before catching their conversation
“Who are they, Dad, Mom?”
Kenneth told Marty how Madison had saved him and then approached her with heartlet gratitude. “Thank you so much, miss. I’ll get the money transferred right away.”
300 thousand dollars was a huge amount for them. But if it meant saving Marty, they’d gladly pay it
Madison received the payment and asked, “How about the bracelet?”
“Please take it away, miss.”
After hearing his parents, Martyw
y was freaked out by the bracelet and insisted, “Just take it. I don’t want it anymore. I found this bracelet outside my house and kept it because it looked pretty.”
ground.
Marty never imagined it belonged to a dead person. If he could travel back in time, he would smack his past s
tself for picking up random items on the rend
Seeing Madison walk away with the bracelet, Josephine worriedly asked, “Is this bracelet going to affect you, Maddie? If it is, we can leave it alone or get it cleansed at a monastery.
A warm feeling washed over Madison when she heard that
She flashed a smile and explained, “Even though the bracelet is a little spooky, it doesn’t affect me. It still has some of its previous owner’s emocions, so it’s somewhat conscious.”
Josephine didn’t get it. But as long as it wasn’t causing trouble for Madison, she was relieved.
She helped Madison back to her room.
The bracelet was pressed against her ears. It hovered next to her ear as its beads moved up one after another, as if an invisible hand were rotating the bracelet.
Madison was left speechless. She sat up and held the bracelet
Madison threatened, “You’re sentient now. Leave the past behind. I’ll take you to a monastery or even a remote mountain. After working on your cultivation, you might end up becoming something great.
“If you choose to stay in the human world, you might get caught up in troubles. Any mishap may turn you evil. At that time, I won’t be gentle to you like right now.” The bracelet shook on its own.
Madison felt speechless.
This was her first time encountering a stubborn item–one that wouldn’t budge no matter how gentle or harsh she was.
Upon hearing the knocks on the door, Madison set the bracelet aside and said, “Come in.”
Harvey entered with some food. “I just checked with the doctor. If you’re fine after spending one more night in the hospital, you should be able to go home tomorrow.
“Modem medicine might not have a cure for your stomach issues, so I’ve approached a renowned traditional medicine practitioner. I’ll take you to see them after you’re discharged.”
Harvey moved the table over to the bedside and set the food down on it. He had strictly followed the doctor’s food recommendation. “Thanks a lot, Harvey.”
