Chapter 979 -979 Mrs. Mamet Has Gained Weight Recently
Xaviera Evans took the opportunity to examine Zora Hughes’s body, but found nothing. However, there was an inexplicable feeling within her, as if there was a sort of poison lingering within Zora’s body.
Her intuition was always accurate, a special ability inherent in healers. She was certain that the Hughes family had been poisoned, even though the poison was mild, not immediately life-threatening. Still, as time went on, that might change. Therefore, upon learning that the blood of the successor of the Miracle Doctor Saint Hand could detoxicate, the Hughes family began their search.
Caleb Mamet shook his head, his tone definitive: “The Hughes family probably doesn’t know that you’re ‘the one’, the one spreading such rumor definitely has no good intentions, but…”
He paused, then continued, “If it ever surfaces that you are the successor of the Miracle Doctor Saint Hand, then you would be like a living blood bank. Many people will be after you.”
Xaviera had already realized this. Her blood’s healing property was both a gift and a curse, but her blood could only detoxicate one person. She had already helped Caleb, and the two of them shared a blood bond now, so her blood should no longer have an effect on anyone else.
“Everyone desires your blood. If the Hughes, or anyone else, start coveting you, would they still be able to maintain their composure? If the Hughes make the first move, it would undoubtedly be their downfall. They’d be obliterated by the other forces before accomplishing anything.”
“I suspect everyone is observing now, not daring to make a move first, for fear of becoming the target of others. In this way, you’re actually quite safe, indirectly gaining a crowd to guard you.”
Stunned, Xaviera realized that everyone wanted her blood, but only one could gain it. If the Hughes family did make a move, others would eliminate the Hughes family first. The Hughes must have understood this principle and wouldn’t make a rash move.
It was her very greed that made her protected, but no one knew that she had already detoxified Caleb.
Unaware of the strange gleam in Caleb’s eyes, he cleared his throat and said, “The situation has not reached a severe state. They do not know your identity yet, and the Hughes only have suspicions. Therefore, they want to keep you close.”
“Makes sense, they want to seize the initiative and keep me close. Once they’re sure, they can move against me. If others act at that time, it’ll be too late.” Xaviera nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, Caleb’s gaze turned icy. He stretched out his powerful arm, pulling Xaviera into his embrace and pushing her down onto the couch. His hot breath incensed the nape of her neck, tickling her, stirring a sense of nervous agitation.
“Wha…what are you doing?” Xaviera stuttered.

Caleb leaned in closer, his profound gaze firmly fixed on her, his voice gentle but without a hint of contradiction. “You can only stay by my side. No one is allowed to snatch you away from me.”
Xaviera’s body started shaking uncontrollably. Caleb chuckled, his voice suddenly turning gentle, “Mrs. Mamet, no matter what happens, don’t leave me.”
Looking into his tender eyes, her heart felt enveloped in a warm current. She bowed her head in shy assent.
“Hmm.” No matter what, she would not leave Caleb.
Underneath the warmth of the man’s breath, Xaviera’s body gradually softened. Her luminous eyes brimming with moisture. She leaned into his embrace like a kitten, her voice soft and tender, “Caleb, I’m tired. Could you carry me upstairs?”
The atmosphere was incredibly intimate, it felt like they should retire to their room for more ‘meaningful’ pursuits. Xaviera looked at Caleb shyly, only for Caleb to slowly stand up, teasing her, “Mrs. Mamet, you’ve gained weight recently. I can’t carry you upstairs.”
Xaviera: “…” Dammit! This bastard dared to make fun of her?
The living room fell silent. After a while, Xaviera unhurriedly broke the quiet, “Caleb…”
Caleb looked at her expectantly, full of amusement, waiting for her to continue.
Xaviera: “You… you’re asking for a beating, aren’t you?”
Caleb looked indifferent, who cares if Mrs. Mamet was angry? She can’t beat him anyway.
…
The next day, at six in the morning.
RING RING!
In time with the alarm, Caleb woke up. Xaviera also slowly opened her eyes. The sky was still a little dark, and suddenly, she reacted, yelling angrily, “Caleb!”
He turned on the bedroom light, and slowly turned towards her, “Hmm?”
Xaviera, almost sputtering with rage, yelled, “Why did you set the alarm so early, don’t you know that I need sleep?”
