“Alright, this one’s on me. It happened so suddenly, no one could have seen it coming Marlon waved his hand dismissively. continuing. But for this illness of mine, after so many years, this is the first time I’ve seen it actually improve without any medication.”
Marlon couldn’t help but be amazed. “She used just one silver needle and I felt better. And she said that, at least for two months, I won’t have another episode. For someone so young, I never expected her medical skills to be so impressive.”
Hearing Marlon’s words, Jude furrowed his brow. “Silver needle?”
The words immediately brought a vivid image to Jude’s mind–Davina’s face and the moment when she performed needle therapy on Grace at the Barlow Estate.
“Yes, after all these years, she’s the first one to relieve my condition this way”
Jude’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Do you know what her name is? What does she look like?”
Seeing how concerned Jude was, Marlon thought carefully before answering, “She’s about 57, I think, and wears a hat. As for her appearance she’s quite attractive. Her eyes are big, but she has this vibe of not wanting to interact with people. And as for her name…
He glanced at Jerome, who cleared his throat before replying. “She said she was Mother Teresa reborn.”
Jude’s face stiffened.
He already knew exactly who it was
Marlon chuckled. “She’s an interesting girl. She really seems to enjoy helping others.”
Jude frowned. “Helping others? Didn’t she say anything when she came to help?”
She wasn’t the kind of person to assist without a reason.
Marlon, still unaware of the full situation, turned to Jerome for more details.
Jerome hesitated before answering, “She just told us not to block the road.”
Jude couldn’t help but curl the corner of his lips, his eyes lighting up with a knowing smile,
Though she was a healer, it wasn’t in her nature to help without a solid reason.
Marlon’s tone grew more serious. “I really want to see her again. Since she knows how to manage this illness…. do you think it could be cured? If it could be cured, maybe the other veterans could be saved too
His words were tinged with a bit of sorrow.
Jude seemed to remember something painful, and his expression darkened.
Marlon noticed the change but didn’t press further. “Alright, enough of that. I came here partly to clear my mind, and partly to visit you. Of course, I also brought a message–the people from Vlonio want to know when you’ll be coming back.”
He paused. “But of course, I’m not going to rush you. It’s entirely up to you”
Jude simply hummed in response, clearly not interested in discussing it further.
“You said you wanted to see that girl again, right?” Jude suddenly brought it up.
Marlon eyed him suspiciously. “Yeah. What about it?”
Jude smirked slightly. “You’ll have the chance soon.”
Marlon looked at Jude with a mix of curiosity and confusion.

Jude said nothing more, simply lifting his teacup.
At the Summer Mansion.
When Blair went back after seeing Davina, the Summers all gathered in the living room.
Thomas and Kate, after hearing the news, looked absolutely furious–their faces hard as stone.

“Since she’s so stubborn, I’ll just treat it as if we never had a daughter, Thomas said coldly, his voice dripping with contempt. “She brings shame on us; she’s a mistress and has a heart full of malice. I don’t have such a daughter!”
Kate’s face, perfectly made up, was also clouded with a deep, icy expression.
“Tve always known nobody decent can come out of that family. Even if she carries the Summers‘ blood, she didn’t inherit a single good trait from us. All that rebelliousness and shamelessness. It’s probably all from the Palmers.”
Stella quickly stepped forward to comfort Kate. “Mom, don’t get worked up over someone like that. It’s not good for your health”
Her thoughtful words softened Kate’s expression just a little.
“Thank goodness we had her take care of that situation for you back then, Stella. You’re the true jewel of the Summers, and you shouldn’t be tainted by an accidental mistake”
