The Fortune-Telling Heiress

Chapter 118

Back in the black sedan, the man in the black suit introduced himself, "Hello, Ms. Locke. My name is Owen Beckham, and I'm in charge

of this case."

"Hello"

"The information on the case is detailed in the documents next to you. Please take a look through them, Ms. Locke."

Madison picked up the document folder and opened it.

As she looked through the papers, Owen briefed her on the case, "Professor Wills found Professor Bauman by following your instructions. The research that this husband-wife pair is currently carrying out is extremely important to national security. "Two years ago, Professor Bauman was involved in a car accident. We investigated and determined it wasn't premeditated.

"But when Professor Bauman regained consciousness, she told us that she experienced a sudden dizziness while driving. She apparently saw a person suddenly appear in front of her car, and the accident was due to her swerving to avoid the person. "After she woke up, she found herself in a cave."

Madison finished reading through all the documents. "The accident was indeed not premeditated. At least, not by humans."

Owen picked up on the hidden meaning in Madison's words. He grinned at her.

"Don't worry, Ms. Locke. People in my line of work have seen everything. We can understand things that can't be explained scientifically."

Madison nodded. This time, she said frankly, "This is a very common ghost obstruction curse, but there are certain conditions that must be met in order to cast it."

Owen nodded. He asked again, "Then, would you know how the other party moved Professor Bauman into a mountain cave within such a short period of time?"

"I have some sort of idea. They probably used the Mystical Five Spirits Transportation Art, which allows them to transport living creatures within a short time." Owen recited the name silently, "The Mystical Five Spirits Transportation Art."

"You're truly incredible," he said aloud.

He drove them all the way to Nova City's First General Hospital.

Evelyn Bauman had been staying at this hospital since she was rescued. She had been receiving continuous treatment and only regained consciousness yesterday. She was someone of in

of importance,

so there were police officers stationed outside her hospital ward,

It was here that Owen led Madison. They were only allowed entry after verifying their identities.

"Evelyn, this is the streamer I told you about, Seeing YourWorld. She was the one who saved you."

Vander was all smiles. His face held none of the dejectedness that had been present during the stream. He looked full of energy decades younger.

"Oh, to think she's such a pretty young lady! Come, sit!"

Evelyn beckoned Madison over to sit on the chair by her b

bedside

She had been living deep in a mountain cave for two years, never seeing the light of day. During that time, she didn't have much to eat or drink. -She looked extremely thin, her-skin unhealthily pale, but her eyes were bright. She didn't let her two years of living in a cave affect her at all

"Thank you so much. If not for you, I might really have died in that cave,"

Evelyn had been constantly looking for an opportunity to leave the cave, but she wasn't young and the cave was dark. After two years of exploring, she finally found an exit. But she unexpectedly injured herself on some rocks In the river. If not for the timely

y rescue, she might have died of infection. Madison smiled faintly. "No need to thank me. The fact that you met me means you weren't destined to die on that mountain. Evelyn shook her head.

She was certain that if Vander hadn't stumbled his way into Madison's livestream by accident, she would've died in the cave.

Vander and the others hadn't even known that she had survived in the cave for two whole years.

Vander held Evelyn's hands tightly. "I know your rules. I've withdrawn all my money. Here, this is my bankbook."

He handed a bankbook to Madison.

"Thank you for saving my wife. Please, you must accept this money," he continued.

Madison accepted the bankbook from him but didn't even spare it a glance. She said, "I don't need much. A hundred thousand dollars is enough."
