Translator: 549690339

As if to prove Alexander’s words, a harsh car horn suddenly blared!

– A car was blocked, incessantly honking its horn.

The people at the hospital entrance all looked over, and Purple Summers’ face instantly turned incredibly bad.

She had no choice but to reluctantly get in the car with a bitten lip, feeling inexplicably humiliated.

Alexander, however, felt she was sitting too far away, so he pulled her closer to him, their legs almost touching.

Purple tried to dodge him, but he tightly clamped her hand!

She was so startled that she gasped.

This guy was simply outrageous! Atra Blanc and the driver were right in front!

As expected, Atra heard the commotion and asked, “Alexander, what are you doing with Purple?”

“Oh, I’m talking to her about Cleo,” Alexander replied indifferently, making no move to release her hand.

Alarms went off in Purple’s head, “Cleo? What about Cleo?!”

She hadn’t forgotten how Alexander had used a snake to probe her before!—————–

It was clearly his own snake he’d raised for several years, but he deceived her into believing it was her pet, and she foolishly went along with it!

Now that Alexander mentioned Cleo, what did he mean?

Did he want to test her again? Or warn her? Did he find out that she was occupying his sister’s body, which is why he kept teasing her?

Every nerve in Purple’s body was tense!

Atra spoke from the front: “You’ve been admitted to the hospital twice in a row recently, both times in critical condition. Your brother and I are very worried. Your brother invited a mage to look at the geomancy, and the mage suggested having a spiritual pet at home. He said that keeping it for a long time would protect the whole family’s well-being.”

Actually, Atra didn’t really believe it, but the mage’s words “bereft of kith and kin” hit her hard!

Purple didn’t have biological parents, isn’t that the same as being bereft of kith and kin? It’s better to believe it than not. If raising a snake could keep her daughter safe, Atra would accept it.

After listening, Purple felt cold all over!

She thought of how that giant snake slithered over her body, how it coiled around her leg and hissed, and couldn’t help screaming in fear

“I don’t want to keep a snake!”

Her voice was slightly sharp due to being overly agitated. Purple slowly softened her voice and pleaded pitifully, “Mom, I’m scared, I don’t want to keep a snake…”

Atra turned to look at her with a sympathetic gaze, “Purple, don’t be scared. Your brother knows you’re afraid, so he’ll move in with us and take care of the snake’s needs. Cleo will be kept in a cage and won’t hurt you.”

Purple was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

If raising a snake made her feel like she’d fallen into icy water, then Atra’s words were now a heavy slap, sending her to the Arctic Circle, bones and all turned into ice shards!

Alexander was actually moving back into the small house?!

This was simply a terrible piece of news!

He’s already been touchy-feely now, what would happen if they lived together? She would be devoured by him!

Purple stiffly turned her head to look at Alexander.

His handsome face was expressionless, but as his eyebrows slightly raised, a teasing smile emerged from his bottomless black eyes, unrestrained and wicked.

“Purple, you have to be a good girl,” Alexander laughed, lightly scratching her palm with his rough fingertip.

Purple’s whole body stiffened, only feeling despair.

In her clear and bright eyes, a thin mist of tears welled up, and for the first time in her life, she was so angry that she cried!

– This Alexander was too bad!
