Even After Death

Most of the women in the world were afraid of mollusks.

If one fell from the tree and landed on their hand by chance, they would scream at the top of their lungs.

Still, the young Willow had just thrown a cursed worm into Jacqueline.

Jacqueline clearly felt something squishy in her mouth.

It was wriggling too! She yelled in disgust.

"Shut up." Leia shoved a piece of cloth into Jacqueline's mouth.

Jacqueline was so caught off-guard that she swallowed the worm.

She wasn't sure if she was overthinking it, but she could feel it sliding through her esophagus.

It was so disgusting that it gave her goosebumps.

Willow made sure Jacqueline had swallowed the cursed worm before removing the cloth.

Like a madwoman, Jacqueline got on her knees and tried to vomit to remove the worm from her.

However, no matter what she did, the only thing that came out of her was bile because she hadn't eaten anything for more than 20 hours.

She glared at Willow.

"What did you feed me?" Willow gestured in reply.

Leia couldn't understand because she didn't know anything about cursed items.

But she could tell that it wasn't something good.

At that moment, Ethan came out of the room.

The murderous intent around him was almost tangible.

"It's a Heart-Devouring Worm." His voice was as cold as his eyes.

Jacqueline stopped gagging.

She could tell that it wasn't something good from his eyes alone.

"How dare you! Are you trying to kill Olivia!" she barked.

Wendy's hoarse yet strong voice resounded.

"Don't worry, you're still safe for now.

It'll only send you to throes of pain during the full moon.

If you want the antidote, you'd better lift the curse on Olivia." Jacqueline glared at Wendy.

"Threats don't work on me." It wasn't easy for her to gain the upper hand in the situation.

There was no way she would cave in that easily.

Olivia was the best possible hostage she could have; she needed to gain much

"You can try if you don't believe in us.

Olivia's life is bound to yours anyway.

It's the full moon tonight." Wendy prompted, " Untie her.

Her complexion looks bad.

Let's not torture her for Olivia's sake.

What if she suddenly dies because of her weak body? No one can save Olivia then." Brent looked at

then did Brent untie Jacqueline.

After getting tied up for a day, she could barely feel her hands.

The deep chain marks around her wrists were appalling.

Trying to warm up her limbs, she pointed at her drenched clothes.

"I want a bath and dry clothes." "Get them ready for her," ordered Ethan coldly.

frail state.

Now that Olivia's life was in Jacqueline's hands, Ethan had to be careful.

He couldn't gamble with Olivia's life.

Jacqueline pointed at Leia.

"My hands hurt.

Let her wash me up." "You!" Leia's eyes flared in fury.

Jacqueline cocked a brow.

"What's wrong? You don't want to?" Thinking about the unconscious Olivia, Leia gave in.

"Fine.

I'll do it.

"There was no showerhead here, only a wooden bucket.

The two ladies were alone in the bathroom.

Jacqueline spread her arms.

"What are you standing there for? Take my clothes off." Leia obeyed.

Jacqueline sneered, "As I said, you're still that lowly woman even if you are Ms.

Miller."
