Chapter 70 Consuming Themselves
Jude then mediately made a call, arranging for a tow truck to take Davina’s car away.
Davina was stunned
Is he out of his mind?
In a matter of minutes, Davina could do nothing but watch as her car was hauled off.
If she weren’t so exhausted, she might have given him a piece of her mind right then.
“Come on, Daddy. I’ll take you home,” Jude said, grimming widely.
Davina, feeling a mix of frustration and anger, was simply too drained to argue with his childish behavior. She chose to ignore him
Earlier in the day, the treatment she had used on Marlon was called Astral Nine.
Astral Nine was an incredibly complex and potent needle therapy technique, passed down in the Silent Order..
It required the practitioner to have extraordinary skill, as well as immense mental and physical energy.
If she were still in her past life, it wouldn’t have been a problem, but this body… it wasn’t quite ready for something that
intense,
She had been taking care of herself, but it hadn’t been enough.
Her previous self had grown up soaking in medicinal baths from a young age.
But this body? She was still adjusting.
So after completing the treatment, Davina felt drained.
As Jude drove, he began to quietly explain the story behind the illness.
Coins.
“Grandpa caught it 20 years ago. His fellow soldiers got it too. In fact, everyone stationed in that area had some soldiers infected. Out of those who got sick, 80% died, and their deaths were horrific… Only a few survived, and even they had to rely on medication just to stay alive,
“And the ones who died… before they passed, they turned into something like wild beasts. They attacked their comrades, rating them alive. Eventually, they lost their minds, consuming themselves…
Jude glanced at Davina, only to see that she wasn’t responding. When he looked over again, he realized she had fallen asleep.
Her face was even paler than usual, almost ghostly.
She looked completely exhausted.
He didn’t say anything else. Instead, he quietly drove her home.
He was relieved that he had called the tow truck.
If she had tried to drive in her current state, she might have dozed off at the wheel.
A small smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth as he pulled up to her villa.
He didn’t wake her up.
Jude’s gaze lingered on her sleeping face as he admired her features. Without realizing it, he found himself completely Captivated
As he sat there, Sacha unexpectedly returned and was a bit surprised to see Jude’s car parked outside

But when she noticed Davina asleep in the passenger seat, she understood.
Sacha was about to speak, but Jude raised a finger to his lips, signaling for her to be quiet.
He subtly nodded toward Davina.
Sacha immediately understood
With a smile, she nodded in return and went inside the villa.

Sacha to Davina, Sacha would occasionally stay there when she wasn’t too busy.
It was closer to her company, so when she had some free time, she’d come by to rest and bring Davina some things.
When Davina finally woke up, it was already dark outside.
She realized she was still sitting in Jude’s car.
After resting for a while, she felt a little more refreshed.
“Why didn’t you wake me up?” she asked, rubbing her forehead.
Jude was leaning against the car door, his head resting on his hand, a playful smile on his face as he looked at her. “You looked so peaceful asleep. I was worried that if I woke you, you might not be happy about it,” he said.
Under the dark sky, Jude’s eyes seemed to shine brighter than usual, and even though his tone was light, there was a trace of warmth in his gaze.
Davina shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts, then opened the car door and stepped out.
Without thinking, she muttered, “Thanks.”
But as she said it, her gaze landed on the car parked outside her house–the same one she had driven to Scenic Hall earlier.
Why am I thanking him?
He wasted on
driving me home!
“No problem.” Jude replied, his voice tinged with amusement.
