Chapter 53 -53: I Heard You Want to See Me?

Scarlett Jennings looked at Delilah Woods, her gaze was clear and deep, but her voice held no warmth,

“Resentful spirits carrying grievances and intent on doing harm can only be eliminated.”

Hearing the last two words, Delilah Woods seemed to shudder violently, and her mother quickly embraced her.

“Delilah, this child is not meant to be with you, let alone it almost harmed you. I know saying this is cruel, but to me, you are the most important one.”

Delilah’s mother understood a mother’s feelings all too well.

But to her, a child she had never even met could not compare to her child whom she had raised with great effort.

Delilah Woods, feeling her mother’s slightly trembling embrace, just closed her eyes.

She didn’t have deep feelings for this child. In truth, it was not so.

This child was a mistake from the start, and even without the classroom incident, she might have found a way to abort it.

Perhaps that was where the child’s resentment arose from.

It resented her so deeply, yet clung to her so much.

That’s why it would stop at nothing to keep her by its side.

During her time in chaos, she did feel a small entity clinging closely to her.

Delilah Woods couldn’t quite describe what that feeling was, but she still couldn’t bear the thought of seeing it destroyed…

“Master Jennings, isn’t there any other way?”

Her gaze carried a hint of plea, clearly someone of similar age to Scarlett Jennings, yet lacking the brilliance usually seen in those her age.

Scarlett Jennings pursed her lips, being a Talisman Master, she was not adept at removing grievances, especially since this little one had not only its own resentful energy but also that of past suicidal students and the sinister resentments from that skull.

She wasn’t sure she could eliminate it.

After pondering for a moment, Scarlett Jennings decisively turned around and walked out, took out her phone, and made a call.

“It’s me… I have a resentful infant here, and I want you to help remove the grievance. Its situation is kind of special…”

“How much? A hundred… Didn’t you say eighty earlier?!”

“That’s too expensive! Give me a discount!”

“Okay, I’ll have it sent to you this afternoon.”

Scarlett Jennings hung up the phone, returned to the room, and, seeing the mother and daughter looking eagerly at her, only said,

“I’ve found someone to try and remove its grievances. If they can eliminate its resentful energy, perhaps it can smoothly enter reincarnation.”

Hearing this, both Delilah’s mother and Delilah brightened, followed by a wave of gratitude.

Delilah’s mother then inquired about the payment.

Though unfamiliar with these matters, she knew that a capable master would certainly charge a high fee.

Scarlett Jennings looked at the undernourished Delilah’s mother and the cramped room they stood in, and said,

“I charge three hundred once, and with the eighty for the grievance removal commission, just give me three hundred eighty yuan.”

Delilah’s mother was somewhat surprised but quickly breathed a sigh of relief and swiftly took out her phone to transfer the money to her.

Scarlett Jennings accepted the payment and left a protective amulet for Delilah before leaving the apartment building.

Downstairs, she found a secluded place to stay, and soon a young man dressed in black with a black hat approached her, a black mask on his face, eyes curved as though smiling,

“Hello, Spiritual Affairs Express, what item is to be delivered?”

Scarlett Jennings pulled the paper lantern bound with red rope from her backpack.

Maybe because it had left the apartment building, the infant spirit struggled intensely, trying to return to the mother.

The youth in the black hat wasn’t surprised at seeing the little thing writhing, instead calmly taking a box from the shoulder bag he carried.

Scarlett Jennings recognized it as one of the magical artifacts Ivan previously auctioned, capable of temporarily sealing sinister energies, with twelve in total.

This box was one of them.

Scarlett Jennings placed the paper lantern into the box, paid the fee on the spot, and the youth in the black hat swiftly departed with the box.

Scarlett Jennings sent a message to the earlier number, stating the approximate delivery time, and simultaneously transferred eight hundred thousand yuan to the recipient.

She felt a pinch of pain, having just received six hundred thousand from Lucas Jennings, but had to give up two hundred thousand.

But she quickly returned to normal.

No worries, this loss could be recouped in another deal.

Despite the unintentional nature, she indeed solved someone’s problem.

Seizing this moment, she ought to collect a little interest.

…

Hospital.

Isolde Garrison lay in bed, visibly thinner within just two days, with shadowy circles under her eyes, her skin sallow, and her spirit low.

After the experience of nearly being strangled to death the previous night, Isolde Garrison hadn’t slept for two days, holding on even in exhaustion, and looked at everyone with caution and fear.

It was as if any person in front of her might suddenly turn into Delilah Woods lunging at her.

Downing her third cup of coffee for the day, Emma White sat nearby, her head wrapped in gauze since she inexplicably bumped into the stairs on the way out earlier.

Even so, her heart still worried for her daughter, coming to the hospital right away to watch over her daughter after getting treated.

Filled with worry,

“Isolde, you’ve had nearly twenty cups of coffee in the past two days. You can’t keep going like this.”

Isolde Garrison ignored her, drank every last drop of coffee, then turned to look at Emma White, urgently asking,

“Mom, has dad found the master who can save me yet? If not, find Scarlett Jennings, aren’t they saying she can save me?”

“No need to worry, Isolde, your dad is already looking. We absolutely don’t have to beg that little witch Scarlett Jennings. Don’t worry, mom and dad will save you…”

Hearing this, Isolde Garrison immediately smashed the cup on the ground in frustration,

With a crash, porcelain shards scattered, accompanied by Isolde’s clearly agitated voice,

“How are you going to save me?! I almost died! Delilah Woods turned into a ghost to get me, you have no idea how terrifying she is! Why not take me to Scarlett Jennings?!

I want to find Scarlett Jennings! Even if she can’t deal with that Evil Ghost, at least she can help divert its attention!”

Maybe the Evil Ghost would want to hurt Scarlett Jennings instead, sparing her. It had always been this way, right?

Whenever Scarlett Jennings was around, the illness that wouldn’t improve transferred to her, she got well, while Scarlett took her place, getting sick, injured…

Thinking of Delilah Woods’ terror from that night, Isolde was unwilling to wait any longer and moved to pull out her IV line.

“I need to see Scarlett Jennings, take me to her now! She took my bracelet; she can’t abandon me…”

Seeing this, Emma White quickly rushed to calm her daughter, but amidst the chaos, the hospital room door was suddenly pushed open.

Scarlett Jennings stood by the entrance, her eyes slightly narrowed, smiling slightly,

“I heard you wanted to see me?”

I’m here.
