Clarence nodded slightly. “Yes, she can be saved. I’ll do my best.”

Peony might have despised him like the rest, but she still spoke up for him when others picked on him.

Besides, Peony was still Clarence’s mother-in-law and Miranda’s mother.

There was no way he could just leave her to die.

“Dad, don’t believe him! He’s just running off his big mouth,” Belle said fiercely.

“Belle’s right. Clarence just wants to go in there and desecrate mom’s body.

“Dad, don’t forget what Clarence did after sneaking into the ward the last time Mom was sick!” Melody stared fiercely at Clarence.

Armstrong’s heart pounded hard in his chest. Everyone had misunderstood Clarence entering Peony’s ward when she had a heart attack as him trying to take advantage of her.

Only Armstrong knew that Clarence had saved Peony with a silver needle.

Could Clarence also save Peony this time around?

Kaysen snarled, “Dad, he’s just looking for trouble. He wants to validate his pointless existence on this Earth!

“Mom’s gone. We should let her pass with dignity. Don’t let Clarence desecrate Mom’s body!”

“Shut up!” Armstrong bellowed, his voice furious.

“Dad?”

Kaysen looked at Armstrong in surprise.

It was the first time Armstrong had ever spoken to him like that.

Armstrong ignored the others. “Clarence, are you sure you can save my wife?”

“I am.”

Clarence thought about it and nodded affirmatively.

Jackson’s condition had been much more dangerous than Peony’s. Had Clarence not saved him using Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture and his cross necklace?

“Okay. Give it your best shot.”

Armstrong opened the main door to the operating room and let Clarence in.

“Clarence…” Miranda tried to stop Clarence before he walked in.

Clarence stopped for a moment. “Don’t worry, dear. I’ll make sure everything’s okay.”

After entering, Clarence found Peony lying on a cold operating table with all the machines plugged into her stopped.

Clarence used his x-ray vision and was surprised to find the vital energy between Peony’s eyebrows was lit, but vital energy in the other parts of her body had been extinguished.

Additionally, Clarence also realized he was seeing two Peonies!

One Peony was lying on the operating table, while the other was transparent and wandering around the ward.

‘Is this…

‘Her soul?’ Clarence’s pupils shrank.

‘Peony’s soul has left her body?

‘Oh no, it seems like Mom’s doing worse than Jackson! Jackson may have been injured, but his soul had still been around. Mom’s soul has escaped her body.’ Clarence rushed forward, ready to grab Peony’s soul.

Normally, an average person could not see a soul, let alone touch it.

However, Clarence lunged forward and grabbed Peony’s soul by its wrist, which felt solid and human as he gripped it.

“Mom, go back.

“Go back!” Clarence grabbed Peony and began to summon her soul.

If Peony’s soul did not return, she would die!

“Ah!”

Peony’s soul screamed and struggled violently, trying to get out of Clarence’s grasp.

Clarence yelled, “Mom, go back!”

He desperately held onto Peony’s soul.

It would be terrible if it ran out of the operating room. It would make things a hell of a lot harder.

“Mom! Go back!

“Your family’s waiting for you!

“Mom…

“Go back!

“Miranda needs you!

Clarence was fighting with everything he had. The soul’s strength was astonishing.

Fortunately, Peony’s soul had only left the body for a while. Though it was difficult, Clarence finally managed to press Peony’s soul back into her real body on the operating table. The soul re-integrated with her body.

Two vital energy points on Peony’s shoulders lit up like re-lit lamps.

Clarence dared not wait a second longer to use Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture.

“Whew…”

Clarence breathed a sigh of relief. Since Peony’s soul was stable, things would be easier now.

Peony could be saved by continuing to use Thirteen Hell’s Gate Acupuncture to stabilize her vital energy, and using the cross necklace to fully bring her back to health.

After an hour, outside the operating room.

“Why aren’t they out yet?” Belle frowned.

Melody asked in a low voice, “He’s… not… doing anything to mom’s body, is he?”

“Shut up!” Miranda was furious. “Clarence may be terrible, but he’s my husband. He wouldn’t do anything like that!”

“Miranda, are you sure he wouldn’t?

“Everyone saw him at the hospital the last time.

“What else could he have been trying to do by taking her hospital gown off?” Melody sneered as she looked at Miranda.

“Alright!” Armstrong roared, “Shut up!”

Creak.

Clarence pushed open the operating room door with a pale face. He walked out slowly. “Mom’s alright now. Ask the doctor to go check on her.”

“What?”

“Really?”

“Mom!”

The Murphy family rushed into the operating room, leaving Clarence standing alone in the hallway. He blacked out and felt himself crumpling to the ground.
