The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 117

Amber and Ivy entered the house.

Inside, the wall is made of wood and there’s a table and chair, the only furniture she saw inside. And there’s a lamp hanging on the wall as well, giving light to the whole room.

Amber gasp in shock because there in the corner, she saw a guy lying on the floor, he looks so thin, his bones are jutting out from his skin.

He was groaning in pain, there were tears in his eyes as he was clutching his stomach.

Misty-eyed, Ivy rushed to her brother.

The guy looked at his sibling. “Sis, I’m g…going to die… you t…take care of y…yourself w…when I’m g…gone…” he said sadly and shut his eyes.

“No! You won’t die, brother! She’s here, I brought home the cure! She’s here!” Ivy exclaimed.

“W-where… is…s…she?” the guy opened his eyes again.

Amber walked towards the siblings and sat on the floor, looking at the thin guy. “Hello, I’m here to cure you, at least that is what your sister is begging me for,” she said.

The guy looked at Amber, fresh tears sprang in his eyes. “A-are you a dream?” he asked, looking at the beautiful woman with white hair, staring at him in the eyes.

Amber shook her head. “I’m not a dream, I’m real,” she replied and looked at Ivy. “Tell me what to do so that we can start the process of curing your brother!” she said urgently.

“The knife and the bowls is on the table,” Ivy said. “Are you ready to do it?” she asked.

Amber nods her head and replies, “Yes, let’s do it!”

Ivy and Amber went to the table.

Amber looked at the sharp knife, biting her lip, fearing a little.

“If you can’t do it, I’ll do it for you,” Ivy offered.

“I can do it!” Amber grabbed the knife and hold it securely in her right hand. Wasting no time, she bravely cut the skin on the side of her palm and felt the sting instantly, then fresh blood sprang from the cut flesh and trickled into the bowl.

A few minutes later.

The blood on the bowl was good enough for feeding.

Amber transferred her hand to the other bowl and continue the bloodletting.

Ivy transformed into her human form and using the spoon, she feed the blood into her brother’s mouth.

A few minutes later.

Amber finally stopped and picked up the piece of clothing on the table, she wrapped it around the cut on her hand. Done, she looked at Ivy still feeding the blood to her brother.

Ivy just finished feeding the first bowl of blood to her brother when she suddenly transformed into her bird self.

Amber walked to the corner. “Let me do it,” she offered and continue feeding the other bowl of blood to the guy who kept staring at her. “Are you okay?” she asked him.

Teary-eyed, the guy smiled for the first time. “Your blood tastes so sweet. In just a few seconds after ingesting your blood, the pain in my stomach disappeared instantly. It’s a welcome relief for me after being in pain for a long time. Thank you so much for saving my life!” he said in a grateful voice.

“Don’t mention it. By the way what’s your name?” Amber asked.

“My name is Edward,” the guy answered.

Amber continues feeding fresh blood into his mouth. The guy was drinking her blood as if it’s water itself, she was trying hard not to vomit due to the smell and sight of her fresh blood that she didn’t like seeing, but the guy wasn’t bothered even a tiny bit at all.

Done feeding the blood, Amber put the bowl on the table.

“Thank you so much for your help, friend!” Ivy said, her heart was bursting with gratitude for Amber’s willingness to help her dying brother.

“Don’t mention it,” Amber said with a smile.

“Just rest for a while. I’ll bring you back to your room in the mansion in a while,” Ivy said.

“Okay,” Amber replied with a nod of her head and lowered herself on the floor. She shut her eyes to rest for a moment.

Ivy went to her brother’s side. “How are you feeling, bro?” she asked.

“I’m feeling better. The pain in my stomach heals quickly after ingesting Amber’s blood. Her blood is indeed miraculous! It obliterated the poison in my body instantly!” the guy gushes happily.

“I’m so happy for you!” Ivy said in elation.

Amber’s eyelids were dropping fast, she lies down on the floor and shut her eyes to sleep.

Edward looked at Amber. “You should tend to your friend! She had fallen asleep on the floor. Heal her wound first and bring her back to her place so that she can sleep properly. I owe her my life,” he stated.

“Okay,” Ivy responded and flew towards Amber. She landed on Amber’s stomach and they vanished from the place in split seconds.

A moment later.

Amber can be seen lying on her bed in the Portwell Mansion.

Ivy transformed into her human form and removed the piece of cloth that Amber wrapped around her injured hand. Then she proceed by healing the cut using her power.

Done, she went to the window, closed it, then she looked at Amber one last time. “Thank you so much for saving my brother!” she murmured.

She vanished from the room in the blink of an eye.

…

The following day.

Amber woke up to a beautiful morning. She glanced at the window, the sun is already up in the sky, shining brightly.

Wait…

The last thing she remembered about last night… she was in Ivy’s house inside the tree. But why she’s in her room now? And it’s already morning? She didn’t remember going home last night, but she did recall that she had fallen asleep on the floor in Ivy’s house.

Ah, Ivy must have brought her back to her room last night while she was sleeping.

Then she checked her hand and was surprised that the cut on her palm was no longer there, eh? What happened? Did Ivy also heal the cut on her hand? That’s the only explanation that she can think of at the moment.

Anyways, she will ask Ivy later.

She left the bed and went straight to the bathroom.

She exited the bathroom door a few moments later and donned a dress, getting ready to go downstairs to join the ladies in the living room.

When she exited the room and walked on the hallway, she remembered Edward’s gaunt face and sunken eyes, he looks like a living skeleton. She was wondering if her blood cured him or make his condition worst? She will ask Ivy later about her brother’s condition.

Surprisingly, after losing almost 1/2 cup of blood, she’s feeling energetic, as if the blood that was taken from her body didn’t even affect her overall health even a tiny bit.

She looked at her hands marveling how the cut healed overnight, there was no sign on the cut, she smiled… she didn’t notice that she was already at the top of the stairs and moved forward.

“Ahhhhhhh!” She yelped in surprise when she stepped into the staircase and miss a step, she felt her body lurch forward, she was falling from the top of the staircase only to realize that she didn’t fall at all, oh my! She was floating in the air! And landed on the floor smoothly.

Stunned, Helen and Cornelia witnessed the spectacle with their eyes. They stared at Amber for a long time, then they looked at each other, it dawned on them that what they had just witnessed is the medallion in action, saving Amber from harm.

Shocked, Amber stood rooted on the spot, unable to comprehend what just happened to her a few minutes ago when she fall from the staircase. She should have bruises and pain all over her body right now after experiencing a nasty fall from the staircase that is composed of thirty steps.

OMG!

She floated in the air and landed safely on the floor with her feet, that’s what she had remembered!

She looked at Lady Helen and her aunt staring at each other without saying anything. Did they see what happened to her a while ago?

She hoped that they didn’t see the shocking incident or else they will start asking her a question about it, she has no ready answer for them because she was also confused about how it happened.

She slowly went to the couch and picked up a random magazine silently, hiding her face from the ladies, waiting to be bombarded with their questions.

Silenced enveloped the women.

Amber was waiting for the ladies to start asking her questions but no one did, she relaxed a bit. Maybe they didn’t see the incident, because if they did, they should have asked her questions right now. She began flipping the pages of the magazine, pretending that she was engrossed reading the articles.

A servant came to the living room and announced that breakfast is ready.

Helen rose to her feet and addressed her companions. “Ladies, breakfast is ready, let’s eat!” she said and walked in the direction of the dining room.

The women gathered around the table and began eating their meals in silence.

A few minutes later, Helen and Cornelia engaged in a pleasant conversation while Amber eats her meals in silence, pondering about that bizarre incident in the staircase earlier. It happened so fast that she thought it was just a figment of her imagination.

After they finished eating breakfast, the older women went upstairs to Lady Helen’s room while Amber proceed to her room.

Inside Helen’s room.

The women were discussing the shocking incident involving Amber earlier.

“Let’s keep our mouth shut about the incident that we have witnessed earlier in the staircase. It’s for the best. Amber will only get confused if we begin interrogating her,” Helen said.

“Yes, my lady!” Cornelia agreed.
