I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 69 You've already paid the fee.

After confirming that Abbott Jr., the mastermind behind the incident, was dead, George recounted everything that had happened the previous day to Gwen.

After all, Helen had been taken to the hospital and her injuries were so serious that George couldn't hide it from her even if he wanted to.

When Gwen heard that George had rescued the unconscious Helen from the cold storage altar where countless people had died, she nearly fainted from shock.

Helen had already suffered a lot of torture when George rescued her; even her legs were broken.

Who knows if, any later, Helen might have become a sacrifice on the altar, offered to that madman's evil god.

It was for this reason that Gwen was sincerely grateful to Erin for helping to find Helen in time.

She even kissed Erin without being able to resist after seeing him.

"Don't worry, it's all over now!"

After being kissed by Gwen, Erin was stunned for a while before gently patting Gwen's back to comfort her.

Ok.

Although it wasn't the first time, I have to say that Gwen's soft lips are still so... moist.

After a while.

After Gwen calmed down, she released Erin, her face slightly flushed.

They seemed a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Erin changed the subject, saying, "By the way, how is Ms. Helen? She seemed to be in a bad state yesterday."

When Helen was mentioned, the light in Gwen's eyes dimmed at a visible speed.

"The doctor said that Mom was brought to the hospital in time and the surgery was successful. If her recovery goes smoothly, she should be able to walk again in a few months. However, she may not be able to wear skirts anymore."

As she finished speaking, Gwen's eyes reddened, and some glistening tears appeared.

Before being taken to the hospital, Helen's legs had already been fractured by a blunt object. Combined with the surgical scars, Helen's legs will likely be left with permanent scars.

This would be extremely difficult for any woman who loves beauty to accept!

"I'm sorry, if I had found Ms. Helen sooner, things probably wouldn't have turned out this way..."

"No," Gwen corrected, "If it weren't for you, things would have been even worse. In fact, even my father was surprised how quickly you found my mother."

"I heard that you only went out for a short walk, less than half an hour, and found my mother."

As Gwen's eyes welled up with tears, and she looked at Erin with an involuntary hint of curiosity.

"Hmm, do you want to know?" Erin asked, looking at Gwen, whose eyes were filled with tears.

Upon hearing this, Gwen hesitated for a moment and said, "Wouldn't that be inconvenient?"

"There's nothing inconvenient about it; it's just a method of divination."

After chuckling, Erin continued, "George should have mentioned that I asked him for the item that smelled of Helen that day, right?"

"Yes, Dad mentioned it. Is the divination you were talking about related to this?"

"Of course. Actually, I used those two items to divine Helen's location that day. Of course, my divination is a bit different from the divination of ordinary people. If you have time another day, I can show you how it works."

Erin, recalling Gwen's sad and gloomy eyes after she mentioned that Helen couldn't wear dresses, smiled and said, "For example, we could try divination to see if we can find something to help Helen remove her scars."

Gwen's eyes lit up at this, and she asked incredulously, "Really?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gwen looked at Erin's face, which was much paler than the day before yesterday and seemed to have almost no color in it. She recalled the legend that fortune tellers or mediums had to pay a price for every divination they performed.

I immediately and subconsciously thought that Erin's pale face today was a lingering effect of yesterday's divination about Helen's location.

Thinking of this, Gwen's heart clenched, and she immediately pressed, "Will divination cause you any harm? I've heard... that some powerful diviners pay a heavy price for their divinations. You look so pale today, is it because of the... backlash, from yesterday's divination about my mother's location?"

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Erin glanced at Gwen in surprise, somewhat astonished that Gwen's knowledge extended to this very area.

However, it's clear that Gwen was overthinking things this time.

Yesterday's divination of Helen's location only consumed a portion of Erin's spiritual energy.

As for his pale complexion today, it was entirely due to the Cosmic Brain Meditation Method.

However, Erin didn't bother to explain anything to Gwen.

When it comes to divination, leaving it a bit mysterious makes it more believable.

With a forced smile, Erin changed the subject, saying, "It's just a small price to pay, nothing to me. Besides, you already paid me, didn't you?"

What reward did I just give?

A fleeting thought of doubt crossed Gwen's mind, but she immediately recalled the image of herself kissing Erin.

The blush that had faded from her face suddenly returned, making her complexion even more rosy and alluring.

That bastard!

The burning sensation on her face made Gwen glare fiercely at Erin.

However, this also successfully dispelled some of Gwen's guilt.

seem.

At this moment, Erin's place in Gwen's heart began to change.

This shift made Gwen feel that it was reasonable and only natural for Erin to help her so diligently.

After all, he had already "paid" Erin a lot of money in advance, hadn't he?

······

After being interrupted by Erin's words, the atmosphere between the two of them inexplicably became somewhat ambiguous and silent.

The silence was broken only when the school bell rang again.

Hearing the bell, Gwen calmed down a little.

After thinking for a moment, she said to Erin with some helplessness, "My mother's condition is still not very stable. I have to go to the hospital to take care of her after school these days. As for divination, I'm afraid I can only witness your amazing divination in person when my mother's condition is more stable."

"No problem." Erin smiled and said, "This matter isn't urgent, is it? You can come to see me anytime you have time. By the way, if you need to see me next time, you can just call me."

"I remember you have my phone number, right?"

Gwen smiled and said, "Of course, you forgot? I was the one who called to remind you to come over for dinner last time. But if Dad hadn't insisted on taking you that day, maybe none of what happened afterward would have occurred!"
