Chapter 219 Bella's special condition!

Evelyn's worry!

Chapter 219 The light beams that crippled the five kids belonged to Evelyn, and now their veins and hearts were permanently sealed with her espera.

Unless she released the lock, no amount of elixirs could restore their ability to use espera.

It was a technique often used on captured demons to prevent them from retaliating.

Since she didn't kill them, this was essentially the equivalent of "giving face" in front of the public.

She had turned the elder's own words against her—cleverly bending the rules without breaking them.

She had outwitted the elder, following her words to the letter while exacting her own form of justice.

The elder had no excuse to find trouble with her later either.

Evelyn had given her "face," but in the most ruthless way possible.

Sigh… this girl truly bears the blood of the clan master.

Such decisiveness at her age and mastery of techniques.

Her cunning was beyond her years.

She could almost see the clan head's image overlapping with Evelyn in her mind.

The elder glanced at the people from her branch family and thought, These fools have really made me lose face today in front of the younger generation.

I fear I'll have to stay in seclusion for a while, lest the other elders try to damage my reputation further after this.

She felt a pang of anger in her calm heart.

They had begged her to intervene when they could no longer control the situation.

Their incompetence had cost her dearly.

This wouldn't have happened if they had thought things through more carefully.

They had pushed too far and underestimated the consequences.

'At least they're not dead.

' She shook her head, glanced one last time at Evelyn's back, and disappeared from the stadium.

Her pride wounded, but her honor salvaged—barely.

In the future, she would owe a favor to this clever girl.

"Humph.

" Evelyn snorted as she headed back to her residence.

Her heart, however, was far from calm.

It was a fitting punishment for them—they would now repent for their whole lives.

But the bitterness of the day lingered in her thoughts.

__________________ She soon reached a residence.

It was not hers, but Bella's.

She wanted to drop by and see how her sister was doing since she didn't attend the duel… No, it would be more appropriate to say that she hadn't come out of her residence much since they returned from training in the mountains.

Her interactions with her sisters had decreased a lot during this time, so she couldn't help but worry that something was going on with her sister.

She entered the residence without any guards stopping her, as it was not unusual for her to visit her sister unannounced.

She soon approached her sister's room and was about to knock when she suddenly froze in her tracks.

Her hand was suspended mid-air as she heard something from behind the door.

Her heart pounded in her chest.

"Cough, cough…" It was a violent coughing sound, as if the person was seriously ill.

A terrible dread gripped Evelyn, freezing her in place.

"I must not let it consume my mind and heart… I cannot afford to die here… Cough.

" It was her sister's voice, but she seemed to be in a terrible state at the moment.

What?

Consume my mind and heart?

Die?

What did she mean?

Evelyn's heart leaped to her throat as she burst through the door with force and barged inside.

"Sister!

" Her expression changed wildly as she saw Bella lying weakly on her bed, blood leaking from her mouth.

The floor was stained with patches of blood, and her eyes were dizzy.

"Sister!

What happened!?

" Evelyn immediately reached out to support Bella.

"I'll call the medics right now!

" she practically screamed, about to call the guards when Bella stopped her.

"No.

Stop…" Bella's voice was so faint, it barely registered.

"What do you mean, sister?

You're bleeding so much.

Something is wrong with your body!

" "It's fine," Bella, now supported by her sister, said in a faint voice.

It didn't seem fine at all—Evelyn's mind raced with fear.

"No, but—" "Calm down, Eve.

" Bella's gentle voice stopped the restless Evelyn.

Evelyn knew her sister understood her own condition better than anyone.

She would have been the first to call for the medics if it had been necessary.

It was unbelievable that she had been hiding something like this.

Her condition was clearly not right, but she hadn't told them?

Why?

Why didn't she say anything?

"Sister, I want an explanation," Evelyn demanded in a stern voice.

Her heart was pounding so loudly it felt like the whole room could hear it.

There was no room for carelessness when it came to Bella's health.

No matter what, if Bella didn't satisfy her with an explanation, she would tell their mother directly.

Bella looked helpless as she gazed at her sister's resolute expression, knowing she couldn't brush this matter aside or make any excuses.

Evelyn cared deeply for her and wouldn't hesitate to do whatever she could for her health.

"Well, how do I start…" Bella made a complicated expression.

"Just tell me everything.

It's not like we'll judge you," Evelyn said in a soft voice, comforting Bella.

Her heart softened, but the anxiety still gripped her tightly.

"I was diagnosed with MCS.

" "Huh?

" Evelyn wore a blank expression as she asked, "Sister, what is that?

" "Magnetic Convergence Syndrome.

" Bella sighed as she looked at her sister's confused face and began to explain slowly.

"MCS is a rare and dangerous affliction that affects individuals with magnetism as their prime element.

There's a reason why so few people have magnetism as their primary element.

Teacher Alison had taken me to her friend, who also shared the same element as me.

But upon reaching there, we were informed of this syndrome.

" Bella took a deep breath and continued.

Each word felt heavier than the last.

She soon explained what exactly was going on?
