Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 423: The Beast Lord’s Wrath

He quickly went to find tools to examine Sterling Norwood.

"I’m fine, the fever has already subsided."

But Selena Kensington didn’t believe him. "Even if it has subsided, you still need to be checked!"

Seeing Selena so obstinate, Sterling Norwood didn’t resist anymore.

He let the Norwood Family physician examine him.

After the examination, the Norwood Family physician clearly told Selena Kensington that Sterling Norwood was not ill, which finally put her mind at ease.

Afterward, Sterling Norwood asked Selena Kensington to go upstairs and get some sleep.

Selena obediently agreed.

After Selena left, Sterling Norwood dismissed the servants in the living room.

Only the Norwood Family physician and Silvester Norwood remained.

The Norwood Family physician looked somewhat solemn.

"Family Head, to what extent has your... awakening progressed?"

Today, due to Sterling Norwood’s sudden rage, his awakening advanced forcibly a little more.

Now, the Norwood Family physician didn’t know what to do.

"Halfway."

In contrast to the seriousness on the faces of the Norwood Family physician and Silvester Norwood, Sterling Norwood appeared much more calm.

His demeanor showed almost no change.

Today’s incident was just a sign; as his awakening progresses, the consequences have started to turn...

"If things continue like this, we won’t be able to predict if you’ll still retain your ’human’ side in the future..."

The strongest bloodline in a hundred years, what level his awakening would reach, remained a mystery.

Sterling Norwood waved his hand slightly. "Don’t worry about this matter, how’s the progress at the research facility?"

The Norwood Family physician furrowed his brows slightly. "We’ve encountered difficulties..."

"The blood within you is too domineering and strong; even when using special methods, we can’t dilute it..."

Upon hearing the physician’s words, the three people in the room fell into sudden silence.

After a while, Sterling Norwood spoke.

"Call Sean Norwood back."

Upon hearing Sterling Norwood’s words, the physician and Silvester Norwood were shocked.

Sean Norwood, a member of the Norwood Family’s second branch, an important person at The Empire Academy of Sciences, has tackled many difficult problems in various fields.

He was even under special protection by The Empire.

Currently, Sean Norwood was abroad attending a scientific forum.

Calling Sean Norwood back...

This showed that Sterling Norwood couldn’t wait any longer.

"Yes."

Afterward, the Norwood Family physician left.

Silvester Norwood followed Sterling Norwood to the study.

In the study, Sterling Norwood looked up at Silvester Norwood.

"Still no news on Timothy Jennings?"

Upon hearing Sterling Norwood’s question, Silvester Norwood’s eyes narrowed, then he sighed helplessly and shook his head.

"Timothy Jennings has been missing for over half a year since the last time."

"People below sent word that before his last disappearance, he was last seen at Mount Nimbus."

Mount Nimbus...

Upon hearing this name, Sterling Norwood’s eyes grew darker and deeper.

"Should we go in and find him?"

Timothy Jennings was last seen at Mount Nimbus, and he hasn’t been seen again.

With the Norwood family’s network, he likely entered Mount Nimbus and hasn’t come out since...

However, what exactly is there on Mount Nimbus that’s worth him staying there for so long?

Sterling Norwood shook his head slightly. "No need, just go down first."

"Alright."

Afterward, Silvester Norwood left.

Only after Silvester Norwood left, did Sterling Norwood begin to think deeply.

Mount Nimbus...

The ancient, vast memories in his mind told him that Mount Nimbus, during the Ancient Wilds, was the location of The Celestial Vein.

It was a place where the Clan of Celestial Masters gathered for pilgrimage and worship.

There, it was once filled with the richest and purest nature’s spiritual energy.

Could it be that Mount Nimbus still holds some secret...

That makes it worthy for Timothy Jennings to stay inside for so long.

However, Timothy Jennings better not stay for too long, or he’ll really be unable to wait...

Today’s incident was only the beginning; more of such ’incidents’ will happen in the future.

They must hurry up.

Sterling Norwood sat in the office chair at his desk, his eyes were obscure and somber.

His presence emitted a gloomy and shadowy aura.

That intense, murderous aura was growing thicker.

This is... The Beast Lord expressing his current restless and somber mood.

If the Fell Beasts during the Ancient Wilds saw The Beast Lord’s current signal, they would fervently and fearfully prostrate themselves.

Praying to appease The Beast Lord’s anger.

After all, The Beast Lord carries the consequences of the Celestial God; when he gets angry, he can even invoke changes in the world.

Unable to sleep in the bedroom, Selena Kensington decided to take a book to the balcony.

However, as soon as she reached outside the balcony, she noticed the sky was terrifyingly overcast. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Dark clouds covered the entire sky.

It was as if a black cloud was pressing down on the city.

There were even a few flashes of lightning within the clouds.

Soon after, the sky began to rain.

Initially, it was just a misty drizzle; eventually, Selena Kensington could clearly hear the sound of the raindrops.

With this, she couldn’t go out to the balcony.

But Selena was puzzled; if she remembered correctly, yesterday’s weather forecast said there might be at most some light rain today.

However, this appearance of oppressive clouds and thunderstorm, is really just light rain?

Selena slightly shook off her thoughts and started walking back.

Maybe it’s just a random abnormal weather; forecasts really can’t be trusted too much.

Luckily she had dismissed the film crew in advance, otherwise, they would be drenched together...

Selena comforted herself, that perhaps this was misfortune bringing its own luck.

As Selena walked back into the room, she received a call from Hugh Kensington.

He sounded tired, with some slight panting. "Sis, did something happen to the film crew today?"

"Mm, the crane’s components loosened and fell, but nothing happened."

"I’ve already asked the crew to check all the equipment, don’t worry."

Selena’s words reached Hugh Kensington’s ears, slightly easing his tense mood that he had had all afternoon.

"It’s good that you’re okay."

He sighed in relief.

The siblings had relied on each other for so many years, each held a significant place in the other’s heart.

When Hugh heard that Selena almost had an accident at the film crew, he nearly rushed to the set without considering anything.

Later, it was Lea Dutton who told him that the crew had ended the shoot early today.

Only then did Hugh hold back his anxiety, continuing to handle other matters.

Selena smiled a little. "Mm."

Afterward, Selena heard Hugh mention another matter.

"Sis, do you remember the mark engraved on Dad’s watch?"

Upon hearing Hugh’s words, Selena recalled it. "I remember, it’s Lova."

Moreover, this ’Lova’ was artistically etched onto the back of the pocket watch.

"Mm, this Lova means ’Promise’ in Horologia."

"So, sis, it’s not really any store’s insignia."

Hugh only discovered after investigating that in the famous and ancient watch shops in the local area, there wasn’t a store called ’Lova’.

It was just gathered from the locals that if someone was going afar, leaving their lover or family, they would gift their lover or family a pocket watch.

And engrave ’Lova’ on the back to signify their promise and love.
