BOOK1–Chapter 1
Since Charles Orville’s perfect woman had a terrible morning sickness, he made a choice that my son’s blood, as someone who was descended from a royal embalmer, was something evil and not good for her. He quickly ordered people to take blood from my five–year–old son. His own son.
Immediately, I knelt on the ground and begged him, “Our son is only five years old. A blood transfusion will kill him. If the wound gets infected, it will immediately kill that poor boy. If you want to punish someone, come to me. I will give you my life if you just let the child go.”
Charles held Annette Grey in his arms and looked at me coldly.
He then said, “If you hadn’t been working with corpses all year like your family, the blood in our son’s body would not be dirty. Besides, it’s just a small operation. Once the evil spirit around him is gone, we can continue our lives happily.”
“The Orville Family has already given you the position as Mrs. Orville. A crazy embalmer who deals with corpses like you should not expect too much.”
That night, my son died from complications caused by too much blood loss and infection. Yet, Charles acted like nothing happened. Instead, he dared to rent a yacht and set off fireworks all night to make Annette happy, while showing it off to my face.”
At dawn, I kneeled and slowly yet surely moved inside the mansion until I reached my mother–in–law, Mrs. Orville.
“I can no longer control the evil spirit of the Orville Family. The five–year agreement is over. From now on, I owe the Orville Family nothing.“}

At the door of the operating room, as my son’s blood was drained out, the evil spirit around him slowly disappeared too. I stood there, staring blankly in the direction of my son. At the time, I felt as if my heart had shattered.}
My mother–in–law stood nearby. Tears filled her eyes as she looked at me with her face full of pain.
“Alex is the only grandson of the Orville Family. The century–old curse still depends on him to hold it back. Don’t worry, I will save the child even if it costs me my life!”
“Joanne, Charles has become a monster. He can no longer tell right from wrong. When Alex is safe, I will be the first one who won’t forgive Charles!“}
As soon as she finished talking, I heard some nurses chatting nearby with excitement.
“Isn’t that the head of the Orville Family? And the woman next to him must be his wife? I heard they have been married for five years. It’s amazing to see them being lovey–dovey!“}]
“I also heard that Mr. Orville bought a new yacht just to make his wife happy. If someone did that for me, I would be willing to lose ten years of my life!“}
My mother–in–law’s face turned very ugly.
“Don’t worry, Joanne. The only Mrs. Orville I recognize will be you. I will never recognize anyone else!“}
“I’ll call that crazy son right now and make him apologize to you in person!”
With shaking hands, Mrs. Orville dialed Charles‘ number. Yet, she got no response as she was hung up on three times before he finally answered.
His voice sounded hoarse and full of desire.§
“Good baby, be gentle, you almost bit the junior off.“}
“Ah! I hate your mouth! You’re teasing me again… “}
My mother–in–law’s face turned red with anger when she heard Charles‘ voice.
She immediately shouted into the phone, “You fucking ungrateful son, what the hell are you doing? Do you know that Joanne-”
Before she could finish, Charles interrupted her with a cold voice, “What now? Do you want to tell me the kid is dying again? Enough already! She made hundreds of calls last night. Isn’t that enough drama? Can’t she even lie properly? It was just a small surgery. It’s impossible for someone to die!“}
“Joanne this, Joanne that, all day long. Don’t forget, I am your son and the successor of the Orville Family! Who is Joanne? She is not even as good as a dog! Her lies make me sick!“}
My mother–in–law tried to say something else, but Charles hung up on her.
The air suddenly became so quiet that it was hard to breathe. I looked at my mother–in–law. Both of us seemed like dead people standing
there.
At that moment, the lights in the operating room turned off.!
The doctor came out, his face full of anger.”
“Who told you to replace the child’s blood with pig’s blood? Are you crazy? Do you have any common sense at all? Pig’s blood is not the same as human blood! No wonder he got infected!”
“We’re very sorry, Ma’am. We tried to save him, but it was no use. The poor kid has died. This is really terrible.“@
