Chapter 58: A Desperate Predicament

What to do? What to do? What to do?

At this very moment, the twin-tailed fox girl’s mind raced, not even primarily concerned with whether to apologize to Luo Jia, but rather…

‘Even if she did apologize, would Luo Jia genuinely forgive her?’

‘Ugh… And to complicate matters, the mission explicitly forbade her from angering Luo Jia again.’ This was a monumental challenge for the young woman, especially with Allyrose’s impulsive nature. ‘If, in a moment of thoughtlessness, she were to blurt out something that provoked the little white-haired one…’

‘Then her house, her garden, her money, and even her future children—everything would fall into this guy’s hands!’

‘Ugh…’

‘Thankfully, she didn’t have a son yet!’

‘Er… that didn’t sound quite right either.’ If the mission failed and she became his s*ave, then a son would likely be on the agenda very soon!

‘No, no, no… absolutely not! Waaah—!’

For the young woman, the greatest comfort at this moment seemed to be the generous rewards offered by the mission.

One hundred thousand sponsorship points. She only had ten thousand points left, which meant several powerful new items were out of her reach. As for the other ability…

‘The ability to detect the other party’s pain points?!’

‘That was even more incredible!’

‘Gulp… With this, wouldn’t analyzing others’ problems be effortless? This would be incredibly useful for accepting others’ prayers!’

After all, in real-life situations, the supplicants a nun faced didn’t always speak the truth. They often harbored unspeakable difficulties or were simply unaware of the root of their problems.

Given this information asymmetry, even Allyrose usually found it challenging to resolve their issues.

However, the current situation seemed entirely different!

‘Once she possessed this ability, she should be able to effortlessly alleviate the inner turmoil of most people, shouldn’t she?’

‘Perhaps, even the little white-haired one before her… she might even be able to control him!’

But that was all for after the mission was completed. The crucial point now was how to control the little white-haired one in this very instant!

Not to mention, she couldn’t even move right now. This… this…

Just as Allyrose tightly closed her eyes, beginning to rack her brain on how to make Luo Jia calm down…

Luo Jia, who was still pinning her down, suddenly felt even more overwhelmed. The deep black nun’s habit tightly encased the young woman’s figure, exuding a forbidden, ascetic allure. Her full body was slightly curled, and the thick black stockings emitted soft friction, making one even more curious about the secrets hidden beneath the habit.

After a long moment, Luo Jia let out a ragged breath. Then, he suddenly reached out and tore open the fabric across the young woman’s chest!

“Kyaaaah!”

Allyrose shrieked in sudden panic, trembling with fright. ‘No… no, what was this guy trying to do?’

‘Ugh… Was she, was she really going to be ‘taken down’ today?’

‘Waaah—’

‘No, no way… Ugh, if she was taken down, would this guy stop being angry? Er… could it be over within thirty minutes? Would there be enough time?’

‘No, no, no, that’s wrong! This absolutely cannot happen, ahhhh—!’

‘Calm down, calm down… No, it’s not me who needs to calm down, it’s the little white-haired one who needs to calm down, right now!’

Just as the young woman prepared to speak and awaken Luo Jia’s rationality, a sudden noise from the doorway interrupted their dramatic scene. Hearing the door open, Allyrose immediately felt the restraints on her body vanish.

The young woman sprang from the bed, instantly pulling the fully enclosed curtains around the hospital bed.

Phew~ Phew~

“Shhh—!”

Allyrose, her clothes disheveled, had no mind to argue with Luo Jia now. After all, in her current state… her messy appearance would make even an idiot think her method of visiting a patient was rather unique. ‘Ugh… ‘comforting’ with her body, ahem, ahem…’

‘A bit exaggerated.’

So, after casting a resentful glance at Luo Jia, the young woman immediately entered a state of frantic trembling. She felt utterly uncertain, having no idea who had entered. She could only pray it was a careless nurse coming to retrieve a forgotten item…

‘Please don’t come over here, please don’t come over here, please don’t come over here, waaah—!’

Then… the next second, Allyrose suddenly heard a familiar voice calling out…

“Allyrose~! My dear, are you there~?”

Click—!

In an instant, the twin-tailed fox girl’s face crumpled into a disgruntled frown.

‘Why was it him again!’

‘Gulp…’

‘Although his injuries weren’t severe, hadn’t he also fallen unconscious? How could he have woken up so quickly and found his way here… Ugh…’

Indeed, the person beyond the curtain was her scoundrel fiancé, the Hero Jason.

‘Why did it have to be the person she least wanted to encounter? Damn it—!’

‘Jason and Luo Jia, both of them were like superhumans, healing so quickly.’ Jason being a Hero was one thing she could tolerate, ‘but how could the little white-haired one, a mere ordinary demon, manage it? Ugh… and he even ripped her clothes into a ‘severely damaged’ state.’

At this thought, Allyrose truly couldn’t hold it in any longer. He hadn’t come early, nor had he come late, but precisely when she was in her most awkward predicament. ‘What kind of ‘100% catch-a-cheater’ skill was this? Gulp… this, this, this…’

‘She absolutely could not be discovered!’

Thus, a moment later, Allyrose quickly clamped her hand over her own mouth, and then over Luo Jia’s.

‘Don’t speak, don’t speak, don’t speak!’

‘You can’t see me, you can’t see me, you can’t see me—!’

The young woman silently began to pray, hoping that by remaining quiet, Jason wouldn’t find anyone and would quickly leave.

However… it was clear she had underestimated the situation. Since Jason had managed to find his way to the Royal Hospital, it meant he must have received some information. There was no way he would simply walk away.

What was even more critical was that in the entire ward, only Allyrose’s bed had its curtains drawn. This made it even more obvious that someone was inside. The somewhat weakened Jason blinked, and a moment later, he fumbled his way to Allyrose’s bedside. The young woman listened as the footsteps in the room grew closer and closer, and in an instant, her frantic heart leaped into her throat.

Click—!

“Uh, wife, are you in there? I heard someone say you were at the Royal Hospital, so I rushed over. Were you also injured? Are you here? Oh! I see your bag. Wife, are you resting? Hmm… strange, why isn’t anyone speaking? Wife, are you still unconscious? I… I’m going to pull back the curtain, okay!”

Screech—!

‘Damn it, a miscalculation!’

Allyrose suddenly remembered that her bag was still on the floor outside the bed curtains. This instantly allowed Jason to pinpoint her location. Hearing him about to pull back the curtain, the young woman couldn’t help but gasp sharply.

‘What to do—?!’
