Chapter 1516: Chapter 1516: Sob Sob Sob
From Cherry’s perspective, all the evil spirits in this world are connected.
No matter what this strange snake shadow is called overseas, in her eyes, it’s no different from the ghosts and evil spirits she usually sees, all transformed from a force of evil energy.
If she can eat ghosts, she should be able to eat it too.
Judging by its size, swallowing it... should be no problem, right?
Cherry subconsciously touched her stomach.
Seeing her hesitation, Gavin Graves felt a bit uneasy and said, "If there’s any risk, take it slow. We can think of another way when we get back."
"There won’t be any risk," Cherry immediately rejected.
She knew how troublesome this thing growing on his hand was. He wore gloves almost twenty-four hours a day, not even taking them off to sleep. He couldn’t wear short sleeves in summer, couldn’t swim, couldn’t go shirtless to the beach to surf or dive, and when meeting clients, people might suspect he had a cleanliness obsession.
Though he did have a little...
She gently caressed the black snake shadow on his hand, looked up at him, and said, "When I eat it, it might look a bit ugly... can you close your eyes, please?"
Gavin Graves, knowing she valued her image, smiled and closed his eyes.
A moment later, he could clearly feel something rapidly flowing through the veins in his right arm.
Just like Cherry had said, it was consumed all at once.
Their speed increased, like warm blood suddenly injected with cold water, the veins seemed to stretch open, mixed with a stinging coolness, and then abruptly burst out of the skin, rushing out entirely!
If there were a sound, Gavin Graves thought it would definitely be a big whoosh.
Soon, it calmed down.
He no longer felt the surge, "Cherry, is it done?"
No one responded.
Gavin Graves opened his eyes to see Cherry holding her mouth forcefully, her face extremely pale!
His heart immediately jumped with anxiety, he hurriedly asked, "What happened?!"
Cherry held her mouth, "Mmm mmm mmm..."
"You can’t speak? Cherry?" Gavin Graves panicked, grasping her wrist, "Can’t eat it? Spit it out!"
Cherry shook her head vigorously, her eyes almost bursting with tears, "Mmm mmm mmm," then suddenly turned and ran out!
"Cherry?!" Gavin Graves immediately chased after her.
Cherry rushed out the door, running wildly! She stumbled and panicked, dashing into an elevator that was about to close!
Gavin Graves was one step behind, failing to catch up.
In a rush, he had to patiently watch the changing floor numbers, and when the numbers stopped at the 12th floor, he immediately took another elevator down.
Cherry and Mr. Ghost Hayes’ guest room was on that floor.
The door to the guest room was wide open, obviously, she hadn’t had time to close it when she ran back. Gavin Graves hurriedly went in, seeing Cherry with her back to him, kneeling on the ground, supporting herself with her hands, and breathing heavily.
Gavin Graves rushed over to support her, "What’s going on? Are you okay?"
Cherry looked up at him, still panting, her forehead covered in cold sweat, yet her face bore a smile as bright as the early spring sun.
"Gavin... you don’t know how close it was just now." She said with a smile, like a schoolgirl who just finished an 800-meter run, both weak and proud, amazed yet touched by herself.
Gavin Graves, seeing her like this, really wanted to scold her fiercely! ... But couldn’t bear to.
Cherry arched her eyebrows, speaking to him in a tone seeking credit, "Let me tell you, just now..."
Suddenly losing consciousness, she fainted.
"Cherry?! Cherry!!!"
...
Cherry slept the entire day, and when she woke up, it was already evening.
The sunset over the sea was extraordinarily splendid and gorgeous, as if the hand of God had plunged a blooming rose into the sea, the brilliant colors streaming through the window, reflecting into her gradually opening eyes, indescribably radiant and captivating.
Gavin Graves watched her quietly for a long time, for the first time understanding what it meant to be entwined, emotions stirring.
The first thing Cherry said when she woke up was, "Where’s my cat?"
Gavin Graves anticipated her question and glanced faintly at the foot of the bed—
At the foot of the bed lay a black cat, with eight... no, nine tails, swaying back and forth...
