Chapter 224 Meet
"Say it, what problems his descendants have encountered, say it upfront, I don't necessarily have a
solution." Ruby pursed her lips in silence for a moment, she really couldn't figure out what the other
party's descendant had encountered, so she had to ask.
Seeing that, Reggie felt relaxed and told her the story, “I don’t know much about it, but three years ago,
the Marsh family members all have weird disease that can’t be cured. The doctor didn't know what the
problem was, that is, a human face was growing out of their bodies. They said they would hear people
laughing at night. It's very weird." Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Reggie had only seen the Marsh family's eldest young master, Matteo Marsh, and as for the others, he
really hadn't come into contact with them.
As for the human face on Matteo's body, he had also seen it before, it kind of looked like a child's face,
palm-sized, growing right where the abdomen was, and it looked creepy. He didn't know if it was an
illusion or not, he even felt the human face smiling at him at the time, and he went home afterwards
and had nightmares for days.
This time it was also because Ruby had come to his rescue, and he thought that Ruby might be helpful
to the Marsh family, so he had found Ruby to seek help.
"Human face?" Ruby thought for a moment, "Bring him here, I'll take a look first."
She really couldn't tell for a moment what this was about, and at this point she had developed some
interest before she spoke.
Reggie nodded, excited in his heart.
The matter was already done, so he didn't continue to stay at Ruby's house, and hurriedly left to
arrange for Matteo to meet with Ruby.
Three days later, Ruby saw the man Reggie had mentioned.
Matteo was in his early forties, for he was a high level, so he looked agrrogant. He seemed to be very
disdainful of Ruby and thought she was a fraud, so he was a bit reluctant when he arrived.
If it weren't for the fact that the Marsh family was now one and all like him with this disease, and
several people had already died in the last two years, he wouldn't have appeared here.
"Miss Harold, right? You should know about my situation, do you really have a solution?" Matteo looked
at Ruby and spoke straightforwardly.
"Take off your clothes, I'll take a look first." Ruby glanced at him indifferently, not minding his attitude,
and just opened her mouth to order.
Matteo looked stiff and was silent for a while before lifting his clothes up, revealing his belly.
Because of years of exercise, Matteo's body was quite fit, and at this moment, on his well-muscled
belly, a human face looked extra creepy with its mouth wide open, revealing rows of sharp teeth, as if it
would bite you at any moment.
Ruby stared at it for a while before walking over and reaching out to touch it.
When her finger landed on those teeth, Ruby felt a subtle stinging pain, she raised her eyebrows in
some surprise, withdrew her hand and glanced at her fingertip, which had a small, imperceptible,
pinhole-sized hole on it, not even blood was visible.
She was silent for a moment before she turned to Matteo and said, "You stay here. Kevin, give your
room to Levi for two days."
Kevin obediently went to pack his things, Levi gave him the key to his house, and Kevin moved in with
some clothes.
Matteo looked at Ruby and was silent for a long time before he spoke and asked, "Do you know what
kind of illness I have?"
"It's not a disease." Ruby replied indifferently and ignored him, just went back to her room and
searched for long time before finding a bottle of medicine, the black porcelain bottle was very delicate,
with intricate patterns carved on it and a talisman attached to the mouth of the bottle, it looked as if it
contained something.
Ruby took the bottle and went out the door, without even looking at Matteo, she instructed, "Follow me
into the room."
Matteo didn't move, and Levi looked at him for a moment before pulling the corners of his mouth, "For
your family's illness, if she doesn't have a solution, no one will have a solution, go."
Matteo looked at Levi and hesitated for a moment before following Ruby into the room.
After entering the room, Ruby directly lifted up the bed sheet and threw it aside, pointing to the bed and
instructing, "Lie down."
Matteo took a look at the bed, which didn't even have any sheets, and even the mattress had been
moved away, the corners of his mouth twitched before he silently laid down on it.
The wooden board was sticking, and he felt the prickly scratch on his back.
Just as he wanted to speak, he saw Ruby open the black bottle in her hand, and a red-coloured
centipede burrowed out of it.
His face changed, and Ruby had already grabbed the centipede and put it directly onto his stomach.
Matteo was shocked and opened his mouth to curse, "What are you doing? Ah..."
As he had only just opened his mouth, the centipede crawled up to where the human face was on his
stomach and suddenly opened its mouth to bite down, Matteo immediately screamed in pain.
Ruby ignored him and stood aside to prepare the silver needles by herself, watching Matteo's abdomen
turn a ruddy red, that human face all became obviously much faint, before she picked up the silver
needles and quickly stabbed down on Matteo's abdomen.
Just after the silver needle was inserted, the human face was distorted, and then a sound similar to a
baby's cry came out, which sounded very weird and scary.
Matteo only felt a sharp twinge of pain in his abdomen, causing him to sweat coldly, but there was no
way to make a sound.
Ruby watched with wrinkled eyebrows for a moment before picking up the scalpel she had placed to
the side, cutting a circle on Matteo's belly, reaching out and pulling off the whole thing that looked like a
human face, putting it in the box she had prepared and putting a seal on it.
After all this, cold sweat broke out on her forehead and her face turned slightly pale.
Matteo, on the other hand, had completely passed out.
Ruby grabbed his hand and checked his pulse, which was steady, he had only fainted from the pain.
Ruby put medicine on his wound and went straight out.
Levi guarded at that door, seeing that Ruby came out with a pale face, he frowned and walked up,
reaching out to support Ruby, "Is everything alright?"
"I am okay, I just need some rest. Don't go in and disturb him, let him sleep. Reggie, I have something
to ask you." Ruby shook her head and looked at Reggie.
Reggie was relieved to hear that Matteo was alright, and looked at Ruby with a broad smile, "Miss
Harold, what is it?"
"Go and check his recent travels, make a list of all those who have had contact with him." Ruby looked
at Reggie and was silent for a moment before she spoke indifferently.
Reggie's face suddenly changed at his words, and he spoke in some panic: "Miss Harold? Will these
people be okay?"
