The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage romance Capítulo 1761

Frank never told anyone when he left.

However, Madfist was already waiting downstairs at the hospital like a prophet, standing beside an inconspicuous Audi parked by the curb.

Frank stared at him blankly for a moment but soon came to his senses. He moved to ride shotgun, still holding the wooden box containing the Bloodcrane Spiritbloom.

"Bralog's Droitner Building, I take it?" Madfist asked bluntly and started the car after seeing Frank nod.

As he drove, he snuck a look at Frank beside him as he said quietly, "I know what you're going to ask, and I promise to answer your questions. First of all, I can assure you that Horey Lindt is dead."

"That's how I ended up in Blackwater prison… But I guess that's how things were meant to be."

Pausing, Madfish flashed a silent smile as he continued. "I did not think that I'd run into her so soon after I got out… and this time, I didn't hold back."

"Heh." Madfist chuckled. "It's an old but depraved derivation of geomantics—by having a living person and corpse share a body. That's what Horey had planned to do: to use the hellspawn in her belly to fundamentally alter her own physique into something inhuman.
