Chapter 694 Fantasy
“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”
Josephine touched her face and was panicking a little. She even sniffed the air to check if the horrendous stench was still detectable. Yep, it’s definitely gone.
Truth was, Josephine was done ages ago, but she stayed inside for half an hour to wait for the smell to dissipate. She didn’t want to ruin Jared’s impression of her.
Hence, she was troubled when she saw how Jared and Lizbeth were stunned.
“No, that’s not it at all. Come. You should see for yourself,” replied Jared. He led her right to the mirror after that.
“My gosh, Josephine. I-It’s as though you’ve changed into an entirely different person. Your skin is smoother than a baby’s butt now,” said Lizbeth enviously while standing at the side.
Josephine was dumbstruck as well when she looked at her own reflection.
I-Is that me? Oh, my gosh! I look so wonderful.
She was still the same person she had always been, but the glow on her entire body was incredible. Her skin looked livelier, and her figure became sexier, too. In that state, any man would be tempted to stare at Josephine.
“Jared, what is going on? Does the detoxification pill have beautifying properties?” asked Josephine. She was so excited that she was trembling a little. Gah, my skin is so perfect, and it’s as though I am a newborn baby.
Jared sighed a breath of relief and reached out for Josephine’s wrist to check her pulse. He wanted to examine her physical condition. As suspected, Josephine’s blood flow was smoother. The most incredible bit, however, was that her body had zero toxic substances. It’s as though she is a newborn baby.
It only took Jared an instant to figure it out. Ah, so the detoxification pill expels all toxins in a person’s body and reverts one back to the state of a newborn baby. Being in this state is the only way to know if a person can enter the heavenly realm and learn how to cultivate spiritual energy.
The mere thought of it prompted Jared to clench his fists tightly. If Josephine makes it to the heavenly realm, then we can stay together forever.
“The detoxification pill truly is an amazing medicine.”
Jared was practically overflowing with excitement.
Josephine sensed his emotions. That allowed her to deduce how the detoxification pill truly worked.
At that moment, she no longer blamed Jared for causing her stomachache. She flung herself into Jared’s arm even though Lizbeth was standing right there.
Unfortunately, Lizbeth pried the two of them away as soon as they hugged.
“Lizbeth, what are you doing? Are you jealous?” asked Josephine. She couldn’t help smiling when she saw how eager Lizbeth was to pry them apart.
“Jealous? Puh-lease,” replied Lizbeth. She rolled her eyes at Josephine before turning her attention to Jared. Her hands reached for his shirt seconds later.
Jared was so surprised that he jumped backward. “Lizbeth, what are you doing? I am an honorable man, and Josephine is standing right there. How could you…?”
Lizbeth responded by grabbing Jared’s collar and dissing him. “What is wrong with that brain of yours? I’m just trying to get the detoxification pill back from you!”
After saying that, she fished the pill right out of his pocket and swallowed it without hesitating.
It didn’t take long before she frowned, then rushed into the washroom.
Jared and Josephine became the only ones left there. Unexpectedly, when he stepped forward to hug her, she pushed him away.
Josephine glared evilly and demanded, “What is the meaning of this? Would you have gotten together with Lizbeth if I wasn’t there earlier?”
“Huh? What do you mean? I don’t understand what you’re saying at all. Wait, you’re not trying to con me into saying something weird, are you?”
Jared looked away guiltily to avoid Josephine’s gaze. He walked right into the living room to sit on the couch.
“I knew it. Men are all pigs.”
Josephine pouted a little, but she wasn’t actually angry.
She felt as though she would be fine, even if Jared and Lizbeth had done something heinous together. All that matters is that he loves me.
