Lucas listened with his brow furrowed, his fists clenching unconsciously. “They really went to great lengths, didn’t they…”

Her master gave a faint nod. “It was all orchestrated by Jessica. She not only wanted to tear your parents apart; she wanted their daughter to grow up in misery.”

Sloane’s fingertips dug into her palms, tears slipping down silently. “Then… do my parents know I’m still alive?”

Her master knew more than Andrew’s investigation had uncovered. “Back then, Jessica swapped a stillborn for you; your mother was made to believe you died.”

Sloane’s voice trembled. “But Jessica said she already killed my mother…”

Her master’s expression suddenly turned grave. She gently pressed Sloane’s hand. “Child, before I came here, I contacted a friend in Mirevia; your mother has indeed run into trouble recently…”

Sloane grabbed Lucas’ wrist in a panic, her voice breaking with tears. “Lucas, will you take me to Mirevia, please?”

Lucas’ brows knit in pain, but he still held firm. “No. In your current condition—”

“I can treat her with acupuncture.” Her master’s voice cut in as she pulled an old-fashioned needle case from her sleeve. “My technique can temporarily stimulate her vitality.”

Lucas’ frown deepened. “But won’t that put more strain on her body?”

“No.” Her master’s movements were already swift as she unfurled the needle kit; the needles glinted coldly in the sunlight. “Better to let her see the truth with her own eyes than to leave her here in constant dread.”

Sloane nodded quickly, eyes brimming with desperate tears. “Lucas, I’m begging you…”

Looking at her stubborn expression, Lucas finally sighed. “Fine-but you have to promise me you’ll follow my lead every step of the way.”

“Okay.” Sloane nodded eagerly.

With a helpless look, Lucas reached out and stroked her head before turning to her master.

“Master, I’ll leave her in your care for the acupuncture. I’ll go speak to Conor about our departure.”

“Go” her master said with a slight nod.

Watching Lucas’ retreating back, her master spoke softly. “That young man does care for you; it’s not for nothing that you’ve risked yourself again and again to save him.”

A flush rose to Sloane’s pale cheeks. “Master…”

“Three years ago,” her master said while placing the needles, “you risked your life for him, venturing alone into the wilderness in search of rare herbs-and nearly never came back.”
