Chapter 1096

Chapter 1096 Lord Voodoo Is Coming An unknown amount of time passed before Charmine finally began to wake up. When she saw the young man sitting next to her, she was a little puzzled, and she rubbed her eyes vigorously.

“M-Matthew!? Why are you here?” Charmine exclaimed.

Matthew glanced at her. “You finally woke up!”

Charmine looked around—it was the same room in Blossoms. She still remembered that she had been spiked by Left-Wing Guardian’s medication. After that, she felt a tingling pain in her chest before she lost consciousness. With this in mind, she sat up abruptly and pulled off her clothes to take a look.

There was a small scar on her snow-white chest, indicating that what happened before was not a dream. Her face changed suddenly, and she asked in a trembling voice, “Y-You saved me?”

Matthew replied, “How else would you be alive?”

Charmine’s expression changed several times in an instant, and finally, she smiled bitterly. “It seems that I owe you another life!”

Matthew chuckled. “Do you want to repay me?”

Charmine stared at Matthew for a while, her expression surprisingly calm. “I want to repay you, but I can’t tell you anything about Orleans! Before I became the apprentice of my master, I swore to my master that I would never betray Orleans! No matter what you want me to do, or even ask me to give myself to you, I will do it. But I can’t tell you about Orleans.”

Matthew was speechless—this woman was quite stubborn.

“If you don’t want to tell me, I won’t force you to! However, I advise you to be more careful. Your master is gone, and no one can protect you now. The next time you fall into someone else’s hands, you may not be so lucky like you were tonight!” After Matthew finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave.

Charmine sat alone in the room, hugging her knees with tears welling in her eyes—she looked weak and helpless.

After a long silence, she suddenly ran to the door and said loudly to Matthew’s back, “Lord Voodoo is coming to Eastcliff! Tell the girl to leave, and Lord Voodoo will not trouble you!”

Matthew’s figure paused, and he chuckled lightly. “Thank you!”

Even though Charmine said that she would never speak about Orleans, she still did so—it must have been difficult for her to warn him about it.

Lord Voodoo? Matthew had heard Crow mentioned this name before, but he still didn’t know who it was. However, judging from the tone of their voices, this Lord Voodoo was estimated to be of high status in Orleans, and his strength was not to be scoffed at. This person was even coming after Jinny.

It seemed that things over at Orleans must be dire.

Matthew originally planned to capture Charmine’s two senior apprentices and force them to tell him about Orlean’s situation. However, because of Charmine’s appearance, his plan was derailed. It seemed that he had to change his strategy and find another group of people from Orleans’ Voodoo Clan.

According to the news he had obtained before, there were also some people from the clan who were practicing their curses near Cadmus Lake. When he saw that the sky was getting brighter, he went back for the time being and prepared to find time to visit Cadmus Lake.

Back home, James and Helen were sitting in the living room. These two came to the Lakeside Garden very frequently during this period—they basically spent all of their free time here.

When Matthew entered the door, Helen was talking to Sasha. “Sasha, I don’t want to nag you about all these, but you are not young anymore, so hurry up and have a child. Your dad and I are in good health now, and we can help you both take care of the child!”

Sasha blushed. “Mom, you can’t rush me with this kind of thing! My relationship with Matthew has just started—let’s talk about it in a few more years.”

Helen immediately showed a stern face. “How can I not rush you?”

Matthew laughed dumbly. Are they really thinking of forcing us to have children?

However, it could be seen that James and Helen had completely recognized him as their son-in-law.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t think about the matter of Sasha having a child with him!
