Chapter 172 (Mysterious Condition)

Dalton was well-respected and had vast connections, so it would be a piece of cake for him to find a skilled doctor. However, Dalton immediately surmised that Kevin's wife wasn't simply sick after hearing about her condition. For that reason, he went to Jacob.

Soon, they arrived at a courtyard with Kevin leading the way. The courtyard was exceedingly small, housing only three brick rooms, while a corner was dedicated to rearing chickens and ducks. An unpleasant stench hung in the air.

The moment they stepped into the courtyard, Stefanie's brows furrowed slightly. She clapped a hand over her nose and mouth, repulsed by the malodor, as she seldom visited such a place. Conversely, Jacob wasn't perturbed, as he had lived in a village for more than ten years before moving to the city with his mother.

No sooner had they entered the house than the shrieks of a woman from the room on their left drifted into their ears. Her voice was shrill and sounded particularly terrifying.
