CHAPTER 385: CHAPTER 385: NEARLY DIED

What’s going on? Have I been tricked?

But, wasn’t this person brought here by Jacob Jennings? Why is it like this?

May Morgan sensed something was wrong, and she hurriedly struggled with all her might, trying to break free from the boundless darkness. Just as she tried to escape from this feeling of fear, her right hand was suddenly tightly clasped by someone!

Is it him?

May Morgan looked down in surprise and saw a man’s hand holding her tightly. But when she took a closer look at the hand, she was shocked to discover that it wasn’t the old man’s hand.

The man’s hand was long and clean, with distinct joints, clearly the fingers of a middle-aged man, completely different from Mr. Landry’s withered fingers.

Who is he? Why is he here?

"Who, who are you?" May Morgan looked up in terror, but apart from the hand, she couldn’t see anything.

"Don’t move, listen to me..." In the darkness, a melodious male voice echoed, causing May Morgan’s heart to be startled.

This voice, it feels strangely familiar, like she might have heard it somewhere?

"Who are you? Why are you here? Where is Mr. Landry?"

The person who led her into the dream was Mr. Landry, but now appearing before her was another man. Could it be that this is Mr. Landry’s true form?

But if it is true, why did he work so hard to conceal it? Does Jacob Jennings know about this?

As soon as May Morgan finished speaking, a glow appeared in front of her. As the glow grew stronger, a man in white suddenly appeared before her.

The man wore an elegant white robe, with a tall and handsome figure, and a face so beautiful it was godlike, making it impossible to look away.

This man...

May Morgan remembers clearly that she had seen this man in the dream Mr. Landry created for her previously. Moreover, when she first saw him, she felt an inexplicable stirring in her heart.

"Who are you?" May Morgan returned to her senses, looking at the man in surprise and asking.

"You don’t remember who I am, do you?" The man saw May Morgan ask this, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes: "Your memories are just sealed, it’s okay, you’ll remember me..."

Hearing him speak to himself for so long, May Morgan was even more surprised. Indeed, she had an inexplicable impulsion toward this man, but she thought they should be meeting for the first time?

"I’m Matthew Monroe, remember my name, you will come to find me someday..."

The man looked at May Morgan, smiled faintly, then held her finger and kissed it softly, his body began to disappear.

"You..." May Morgan saw the man suddenly vanish before her eyes, and just as she was about to call out to him, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. Immediately, her entire body felt as if her blood was being burned, causing her to let out a scream.

"May Morgan, May Morgan, what’s wrong?"

Outside, Jacob Jennings heard May Morgan’s painful cries from inside the house and quickly pushed open the door to check the situation inside. He saw May Morgan crouched on the ground alone, clutching her chest in agony.

Meanwhile, Mr. Landry had suddenly vanished without a trace.

Seeing the old man suddenly disappear, Jacob Jennings felt a sense of unease, instinctively moving to May Morgan’s side to check on her condition.

May Morgan heard Jacob Jennings call her name and finally opened her eyes to look around. Her body felt like it was being burned, her blood almost boiling.

"Jacob Jennings, I, I feel terrible..." May Morgan grabbed Jacob Jennings’s arm painfully and said to him.

Jacob Jennings felt a bit guilty toward May Morgan but couldn’t express it. He quickly lifted May Morgan horizontally off the floor and rushed out to find a doctor.

In Jacob Jennings’s arms, May Morgan’s pain was so severe that her face was ghostly pale, as if every bone in her body was about to break, causing her to curl up into a ball, a sight that was terrifying.

Moreover, her body temperature was alarmingly high, as Jacob Jennings held her in his arms, she seemed like a burning piece of coal, scorching his skin intensely.

What’s happening to her? Why is she so hot? Is it possible that all of this is a ploy orchestrated by Mr. Landry?

But why would he do this?

May Morgan was quickly taken to the emergency room, and when the doctors felt her scorching skin, they were genuinely startled. They had never encountered a case like this, not knowing where to start.

After checking May Morgan’s temperature, it shot up to over fifty degrees. A normal person can only bear temperatures up to the forties before reaching their limit; any higher, and it’s likely fatal!

"Should we take her to the morgue to cool her down? We don’t have a better option!" External cooling was the most effective method they had at the moment. Worried that May Morgan might burn herself alive, they hurriedly pushed her towards the hospital’s morgue to cool down.

Jacob Jennings feared he wouldn’t be able to explain to Vincent Vance if something happened to May Morgan. He followed closely, not daring to leave her alone in the creepy, eerie morgue.

May Morgan was quickly pushed into the morgue to cool down. Normally, after being inside for just a few minutes, one’s feet would feel icy, unable to endure it any longer. But May Morgan had been inside for over ten minutes now, her body’s temperature still climbing unabated.

Her temperature had been measured at fifty degrees earlier; now it had surged to sixty degrees.

And curiously, despite such high temperatures, May Morgan’s skin showed no change. Ordinarily, at such high temperatures, a person’s skin should have melted or at least show burns. But aside from shouting in pain, May Morgan’s body showed no signs of change.

Watching nearby, Jacob Jennings suddenly felt heavily burdened. Mr. Landry had informed him that after the Dragon Insect in May Morgan awakens, such a stage would occur but wouldn’t cause her any intrinsic harm. Moreover, this stage wouldn’t last long; once passed, May Morgan would be fine.

Considering May Morgan’s current condition, it was exactly as Mr. Landry described. Initially, Jacob Jennings wanted to trust his words, but due to Mr. Landry’s sudden disappearance, he was unsure.

However, currently, May Morgan is in such a state, and medicine can’t resolve it. He doesn’t expect these doctors to help May Morgan much, but if her condition suddenly improves, could it have unforeseen consequences?

"You all leave, I’ll stay and watch her!" Considering this, Jacob Jennings turned and instructed the doctors and nurses.

These doctors and nurses naturally didn’t want to stay in such a creepy place. Seeing Jacob Jennings’s serious expression, not seeming to joke around, they streamed out and waited outside.
