The Real Daughter Came Back to Chill and Kill novel Chapter 44

Scarlett continued her exploration of the Eurofian-style building and acquired a general understanding of the layout as well as the facilities that were available.

Jane had told her that she could visit any room in the building except for Xavier's study. She shot a glance at the jet-black door to the study, noting it was sealed shut. Although she was curious, she was still a guest in the household, so she politely averted her eyes.

The last place Scarlett dropped by was Percy's room. She entered after knocking, her lips twitching when she laid eyes on the figurines from various different comics and animations adorning the room.

She did her best to ignore the over-the-top decorations as she pulled up her QR code—she was just here to collect her payment.

Percy generously transferred 10,000 dollars into her account.

…

The next day, Scarlett stopped by the mall to pick up some tools that might help Xavier fall asleep. Among the items she purchased were a blackout sleeping mask, a watch that monitored a sleeping person's heart rate, an electronic clock that uses hypnosis to put one to sleep, and a few potted herbs that were beneficial for sleep.

When she made it back to Jondalia Residence, she ran into a young man whom she didn't know in the living room. He was dressed in a large, white coat and was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He had a tall nose and a suave appearance.

He was bent over a machine, fiddling with the controls. The other end was attached to Xavier's arm.

Scarlett guessed that he was either measuring Xavier's blood pressure or monitoring something else.

When he heard her approaching footsteps, the man raised his head to look at her, pinning her with a scrutinizing gaze. "Are you Scarlett Quinn? The one who's skilled in medicine despite your young age?"

Scarlett nodded at him politely. "Nice to meet you."

The man's lips crooked up into a smirk. He shot a glance at Xavier before directing his gaze back to Scarlett. It was hard to believe that Xavier actually managed to locate the young girl who had saved him all those years ago. She looked similar to the image of her he had drawn.
