Chapter 292

When Keith returned, the man immediately put the tube back into his sleeve and acted as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, Tyler and Katherine understood how Keith got the curse. Clearly, the tube contained a liquid that was contaminated with the man-faced curse.

"How…" Tyler mumbled in disbelief.

On the other hand, Katherine gripped her knuckles tightly and said coldly, "Does this person have any grudges against Keith?"

"No. Keith put all his mind into researching and seldom interacted with others at school. Moreover, he has nothing in common with the school administrator, so there's no way they would have any grudges against each other," answered Tyler as he shook his head.

Listening to his words, Katherine knew that she was right on track. "That only leads to one thing—he had been ordered to do so."

As soon as her words fell, Joaquin walked in with a confused look. "Ordered? What's going on?"

Immediately, Katherine showed the footage to him. When Joaquin saw the scene, his expression changed as he knew what had happened. Without hesitation, he took out his phone and called Jeremy, asking him to investigate the school administrator.

Tyler was stunned when he saw Joaquin's actions, and he finally realized that the man had a strong background. However, he was smart and didn't say anything about it.

After 20 minutes, Jeremy sent a message to Joaquin, saying that the school administrator was a friend of Zak, and the man had invited him to have lunch together yesterday.

When Katherine understood the whole situation, she sneered coldly.

"I didn't expect Zak to hurt Keith so that you'd give in!" Joaquin's face darkened as he spoke. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"He has a great plan, though. However, he probably doesn't know that not only can I save Mike and Myles, but I can also let them live a miserable life for eternity!" Katherine smiled as she spoke, but there was no trace of happiness in her eyes. Instead, it felt like the calm before the storm.

At this moment, she was enraged, and the temperature around her was low. As Joaquin looked at her, he knew she wouldn't forgive the Fraser Family for what they had done to Keith. However, there was more important stuff than getting revenge at the moment. Hence, he pursed his lips and grabbed her hand.

"There will be time for you to get your revenge on the Frasers, but Keith doesn't have much time left. Let's think of a way to save him first," said Joaquin.

Hearing his words, Katherine bit her lips and said nothing. Of course, she knew the priority between these two matters, but she just couldn't sustain the rage in her. After taking a few deep breaths, she shut her eyes and opened them again. "I'll let them live longer for a little while!" Then, she looked at Joaquin and asked, "Is the room ready?"

Joaquin nodded and led her to the room. Although he was clueless about what she was going to do, he would never ask about it and just listened to her orders.

Katherine asked Joaquin to wait outside the room as she entered it. After that, she forced herself to calm down while taking out a piece of paper and a pen. Then, she closed her eyes and began scribbling on the note.

If she wanted to find the mother insect, she had to find Eddie or his descendant. However, the Scott- Tuttons were mysterious, and there had been no news from them for the past few years. Hence, all she could do was perform divination.

Ten minutes later, the paper was filled with strange lines. Just as her arms were about to get sore, she finally stopped. The next moment, she opened her eyes and frowned, seemingly confused.

It turned out that when she had done the divination three times, each of the results indicated that Eddie was still alive. Now, he was heading toward the Fraser Residence! His actions confused Katherine since she had never heard anything between the Scott-Tuttons and the Frasers.

Why is Eddie heading toward the Fraser Residence? If the Frasers knew about him, they would've gone to him instead of asking for my help. However, if the Frasers don't know Eddie, how did they get infected by the man-faced curse?

At that moment, questions filled Katherine's mind, and she couldn't pick up the pieces. Knowing that she couldn't think about it thoroughly, she put it in the back of her mind and focused on what was happening. After all, the most important thing right now was finding Eddie.

It looks like I have to revisit the Fraser Residence. A glint flashed across her eyes as she thought about it.

When she left the room, Joaquin was leaning against the wall. "How was it? What are we going to do next?" he asked.

"Let's head to the Fraser Residence," said Katherine grimly.

When Joaquin heard her words, he was stunned; he thought she wanted to get her revenge first.

However, before he could think any further, Katherine explained, "I know what's important. Right now, I have to see Eddie, and he will be at the Fraser Residence. That is why I need to be there."

Hearing her words, Joaquin was bewildered. "You…" Initially, he was going to ask how she knew Eddie's whereabouts, but on second thought, he knew that she would tell him if she wanted to. Hence, he didn't ask about it in case she was not comfortable talking about it. Thinking about this, he nodded and said, "Okay."

With that, they both headed toward the ward and told Tyler about their plan before heading toward the Fraser Residence immediately.

On the way to the Fraser Residence, Katherine looked at the scenery outside the window with an expressionless face. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Joaquin.

"I read about it," she said.

Her sudden words startled Joaquin, and he didn't understand what she was referring to. "What?" he asked.

Katherine pursed her lips and sighed. "When I was at Fontan, I met a master. He was mumbling about destiny when we first met, and I thought he was a liar. It turns out he had read my fate correctly. At first, I thought that he was spying on me, but I later found out that he could read my future. Perhaps because of fate, he decided to teach me this skill. Normally, I wouldn't use it since I have no interest in looking at someone else's future. I only use it when it is a crucial moment. That is why I know that Eddie is going to the Fraser Residence."

At this moment, Joaquin understood what she was talking about and was quite surprised. "Turns out there is indeed divination in this world…" Then, he looked at Katherine and smiled. "I can't believe that you know everything. What a talented woman you are. You always surprise me."

Hearing his words, Katherine smiled but didn't say anything.

Knowing that she was not in the mood to joke around, Joaquin didn't push his luck and held her hands. Then, he squeezed her hand gently, almost as if he was trying to give her strength through it. "Don't worry, Keith is your brother, and you two are incredibly strong. I'm sure he will get through this."

As he spoke, Katherine kept her head low. When she heard his words, her eyelashes fluttered, and she hummed gently in response.

While the two were heading toward Fraser Residence, Eddie was a step ahead of them and had already arrived. At this moment, no one was in the house except for Myles, who was disabled, and Mike, who was severely ill. When Eddie entered the house, he pretended to be Mike's best friend and requested to see him.
