Chapter 8 Evil Doctors
“I won’t let you leave!” Jocelyn objected immediately. “You’ll get yourself killed.”
Isabella sighed. “But I’ll be sitting duck if I stay in Lotus Village.”
That man’s determination to kill her couldn’t be more obvious.
Isabella worried that he would even kill her kids if he found out about their existence.
“You can go abroad,” Mr. Langley advised.
“You think I can get that man off my back by going overseas? It’ll only expose me sooner,” Isabella said
with a wry smile.
“Shit. He’s the pettiest man I’ve ever known No woman would ever want to marry him!” Jocelyn was
fuming. with anger.
They knew how hard it had been for Isabella to muster up the courage to give birth to the kids and how
many hardships she had endured to raise them.
She had spared no effort to excel in every skill she learned and even surpassed her master.
She made such achievements partially because she was talented, but more importantly, she was also
hard–working.
In the past few years, she slept an average of fewer than five hours every night.
She kept learning unceasingly.
What kept her driven was the wish to become more capable to provide her kids with a better life.
But that man was obnoxiously intent on making it impossible for her to live peacefully.
Isabella looked down to hide the melancholy in her eyes.
“Going to Dawton City is my best choice. His attention is elsewhere now, so it may not occur to him that
I’ll be right there in Dawton City. Even if he finds me one day, he may only do away with me and spare
the kids.”
“Bullshit. What are you talking about? You’re our beloved student. Who is he to do away with you as he

The short and thin old man flared up.
Seeing him so angry that even his beard curled up, Isabella quickly said in a soothing tone,
“Grandmaster, don’t get mad. I’m just making a guess. Perhaps he won’t be able to find me in his whole
life.
“Besides, even if he finds me, as able as I am now, I’ll find a way to escape from him.”
Isabella did not doubt that she could do it.
She just felt sorry for her kids that they would have to live in hiding with her.
The thought of that was distressing.
Jocelyn gazed at Isabella, her appealing eyes reddened, and snapped, “Men are all douchebags!”
The old man and Mr. Langley both quietly moved their eyes to her.
Jocelyn darted them a glare. “Don’t look at me, you douchebags!”
After saying that, she walked away sensually.
The old man and Mr. Langley, whom she had taken it out on, moved their eyes back and ignored her.

The old man said, “You’re one of the Holy Doctors. No one can trifle with you. You can go to Dawton City,
but promise me that you’ll watch out for yourself and take good care of the kids.”
isabella nodded. “Grandmaster, don’t worry. Do I look like someone who will let him mess with me?”
The old man lowered his head and wiped his eyes. “It’s all that douchebag’s fault. I hate him!”
Isabella felt both amused and wistful.
Mr. Langley said, “I’ll get Jackson Vaughn to send people to protect you in secret.”
Isabella nodded.
At that moment, the room door was shoved open with a thud. Jocelyn bolted back in with a terrified face.
“Something has happened to Betty. Old Greg, why didn’t you lock that cabinet? Betty opened it and…”
Jocelyn was so anxious that her voice cracked.
Isabella was sent reeling and almost fainted, but she quickly collected herself and managed to keep her
balance.
The old man shrieked and stormed out.
Mr. Langley shot to his feet so abruptly that the chair under him was knocked down with a bang. The
next second, he had already run out of the room.
All of them seemed more panicked than Isabelle, the girl’s mom.
It was already after 11 p.m., and the two kids were supposed to have gone to bed.
“Why is Betty still up? How did she open Grandmaster’s cabinet?” Isabelle wondered.
As Betty’s mother, Isabella knew her better than anyone else and was aware that Betty had more than
once shown interest in that cabinet of Grandmaster’s. Betty seemed to believe that treasures were hiding
in it.
Betty had always been curious about what was inside that cabinet.
Isabella had good reason to suspect that Betty had been planning this day for a long time.
Thinking of her fearless and shrewd daughter, Isabella couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.
But Betty was just a little girl, after all. Isabella was worried sick at that moment.
Her mind was busy with thoughts as she walked to Grandmaster’s place.
She expected to see Betty unconscious, but the little girl was sitting on Grandmaster’s bed, safe and
sound.
She was surrounded by adults who were all looking at her worriedly as if she were a precious princess.
“Betty, my love, do you hurt anywhere?” Jocelyn asked in a voice full of concern.
Betty slightly shook her head. “No.”
“Little Betty, tell me, how many poison…candies did you eat?” Grandmaster sounded like he was about
to cry.
The little girl thought about it and raised her chubby hand, showing the old man two fingers. “Grandpa, I
ate two candies.”
Grandmaster’s knees gave way, and he slumped down on the floor.
Mr. Langley asked calmly, “How did you open Grandpa’s cabinet?”

Betty looked at him with innocent eyes and answered, “Uncle Jake taught me the other day.”
“He taught you how to open locks?” Mr. Langley’s voice turned peevish.
Betty looked at him with fear in her eyes and cowered a bit. “Grandpa Langley, please don’t blame Uncle
Jake. He is a very nice man.”
The little girl stared at Mr. Langley with misty eyes and looked pitiful.
But Mr. Langley appeared even angrier.
Isabella gawked at Betty, who now had dark circles under her eyes and looked like a panda.
Betty had been poisoned.
Isabella was shaking from dread and immediately gave Betty a check–up, confirming that she had eaten
something poisonous.
However, she noticed that the poison seemed to have gathered in a particular place instead of spreading
all over Betty’s body, which was very weird.
Isabella turned to face the old man and asked, “Grandmaster, now you have to tell me about the secret
you have locked in that cabinet.”
Isabella knew that the elders in Lotus Village all had their secrets.
She’d learned most of them in the past five years.
But what Grandmaster had locked away in that cabinet had always been unknown, and he had never
told her about it.
The old man’s features were contorted with apprehension. “Sure. The secret is now in your daughter’s
belly.” Mr. Langley scowled at him.
Jocelyn was incensed too. “If you had told us about it earlier, Betty wouldn’t have been so curious!”
The old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “Bella, you know that the Sanctum of Holy Doctors
originally had two branches. One is composed of us Holy Doctors. The other was made up of Evil
Doctors.
“Five hundred years ago, the leader of Evil Doctors was unscrupulous and did something atrocious that
led to the doom of all Evil Doctors.
“Their medical skills have never been practiced since then.
“In the cabinet are the Legacy of Evil Doctors. To become an Evil Doctor, one must take a kind of
poisonous pill, which is what little Betty took just now.
“Therefore, to stay alive, little Betty has to practice the skills passed down by Evil Doctors.”
