Kindness Clinic did not open for business today. The shutters might be drawn, but the closed sign was hanging on the door. This was the second day the clinic was not open for business. People had no idea what had happened to Kindness Clinic. All they knew was that it was not in operation.
Inside the house, Adery began teaching Clover to read and speak after feeding her. She treated wp4webnovel.com as if wp4webnovel.com were wp4webnovel.com own sister.
Apart from wp4webnovel.com father, only Thomas could say a few words to Adery because of wp4webnovel.com aloof personality.
Thomas was married, thus wp4webnovel.com and Thomas were unable to have a blossoming and fruitful relationship. Her sense of loneliness was only getting worse. Now that Clover had appeared, Adery recognized the same loneliness in this little girl, so wp4webnovel.com was very kind to her.
According to Adery’s observations, this little girl’s mental age was probably stuck around the age of three or four. She could eat on wp4webnovel.com own, albeit barely. However, talking and walking were skills that had to be taught and developed gradually.
Clover was still scared of Adery at first, possibly because wp4webnovel.com had been tortured so much in the past that wp4webnovel.com was afraid of people. The good thing was that Adery did not give up and kept trying to help Clover. Finally, Clover was able to overcome wp4webnovel.com fears and learn to speak and walk with Adery because of Adery’s perseverance.
Slowly, Clover became increasingly human. However, this was insufficient.
Adery was eager to find out what had happened to Clover, and what type of surgery would be required to graft a plant onto a human body. This was beyond the realm of medicine. It was like magic. But everyone knew that in this world, there was no such thing as magic, and there was a scientific secret behind every phenomenon.
Adery needed to find out the secret.
According to wp4webnovel.com observation, those flowers on Clover’s body, rather than being a symbiotic entity living with Clover, hogged Clover’s body and forcibly took nutrients from inside Clover’s body so that they might thrive.
Adery fed Clover a lot of good stuff. But after wp4webnovel.com ate it, the flowers absorbed most of the nutrients on wp4webnovel.com tendons and veins, leaving not much for herself. The better the food wp4webnovel.com ate, the more colorful the flowers would be. The flowers were expected to bloom in another ten days to half a month at this rate.
‘Are these flowers a blessing from God or a punishment from the devil?’ Adery did not know the answer to these.
The only thing wp4webnovel.com could do was try to make Clover’s life a little easier so that wp4webnovel.com could overcome wp4webnovel.com fear and live a normal life.
When wp4webnovel.com was teaching Clover to speak, wp4webnovel.com heard wp4webnovel.com employee yell outside the hall. “We’re closed today! Why don’t you all come back in a few days? Hey! How could you just force your way in?!”
“We are closed today. Please don’t behave in this manner!”
Bang!
The room door was pushed open. The two strong men stood at the room’s entrance, just staring at Adery and Clover, and it was clear from their gestures that they were after Clover. They looked like they were going to devour Clover.
In spite of wp4webnovel.com compromised cognition, Clover was more alert to this type of danger than anybody else. Clover hid behind Adery.
“Who are you guys? Get out!”
Adery did not back down before the two powerful men, but they ignored wp4webnovel.com and went straight toward Clover.
Based on their attitude, they appeared to be prepared to abduct Clover by force. But they would not be able to take wp4webnovel.com away.
Two flying knives slashed through the air and flew over before they could make a move. The knives pierced the two strong men’s palms with two loud sounds of knives plunging into flesh.
Such ruthlessness!
Before the two strong men could react to what was happening, a black figure sprang from behind them, and both of them were dragged out and thrown directly into the street in one fell swoop. The black figure appeared and went without leaving a trace.
There was no one there when the two strong men turned their heads to look.
At that moment, Luca sat in his car on the opposite side of the street, watching what was going on in front of wp4webnovel.com and muttering to himself, “Is this the manpower Thomas left behind? Does wp4webnovel.com think wp4webnovel.com can protect the illegitimate daughter with just one person? Hah! He’s powerful, but no matter how powerful wp4webnovel.com is, wp4webnovel.com is only one person, and I’m not scared of him.”
After figuring out how many people Thomas had left behind to protect the girl, Luca snapped his fingers, and immediately, a dozen strongmen rushed up. After they had figured out the situation, they merely had to move in batches. If one person was unable to snatch the girl, two people would do the job, and if two people were unable to, four people would do the job.
There was only one person on the opposing team. They would still snare the target eventually.
Unfortunately, they were wrong… How could Thomas only let one person guard Clover?
Three cars drove over and blocked all of them before a dozen of them could even get to the gate.
A troop of soldiers in camouflage uniforms came out when the car door opened. They did not have to fight and simply stood there, and the dozen people were already too terrified to take another step forward.
Across the street, Luca was shocked. “Holy sh*t! Where did these soldiers come out from? I hadn’t noticed them until now!”
He finally had a clear grasp of Thomas’s strength. Before wp4webnovel.com could think of what to do, someone suddenly cut off the door of the car!
