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!"
