Chapter 1

Lilith's POVI was not lying.An ancestor of the Ward family had conducted himself poorly. As a result, he was cursed to never have children. It was only through the intervention of someone powerful that the effects of the curse were alleviated enough for him to have a few generations of descendants.Matthew Ward’s infertility was an effect of that curse. However, Matthew’s grandfather, Lester Ward, did not believe that. “I’ve asked around. You’re Statute Hospital’s most renowned expert in andrology. You specialize in using snake toxins as treatments. You cured the head of the Locke family of his long-term infertility. How could you not cure my grandson?”Lester was very worked up. It was likely that I was his last hope. In the previous timeline, I had married Matthew, and Lester used to be very nice to me. But when Matthew extracted my scales and sold me off abroad, Lester had simply avoided my pleading gaze with a sigh. “Matt is the head of the Ward family now. I don’t ha

“What?”Bart coughed. He was glaring at me so hard that his face was turning red. “You useless nothing! This is the Ward family we’re talking about! Do you know how hard it is for anyone to get close to them?”Harriet slapped me. She looked furious. “Why did I ever adopt such a stupid person? Get out of here! If you don’t make the Ward family change their mind about you, don’t you dare come home!”My face stung so badly that it felt like it was going numb. I closed my eyes and turned to head to my room. There, I collected my bone needles and amulets and prepared to leave.“Hold on, leave those things behind!”I frowned. “These are mine!”Cynthia tugged Harriet’s arm, her expression wronged. “Mom, I won’t be able to cure Matthew without that set of needles and those amulets! If he can’t have children, I won’t become Mrs. Ward! Tell Lil not to be so selfish!”Harriet’s expression immediately turned stern. “You little wretch, how dare you act out? You can’t ruin Cynthia’s chanc

There was a crash as the door of the basement room exploded open. A man deftly rolled in and swept me into his arms before running out.“You’re…”He looked down at me, his eyes shining bright like stars. “My name is Owen Ward. I’m Matthew’s little brother.”I suddenly recalled him. He was Matthew’s father’s illegitimate son. He was the only second son in the history of the Ward family. On the day his mother’s pregnancy was confirmed, the entire Ward family celebrated, thinking that the curse had been broken. However, that same day, Matthew’s father died of sickness in a very sudden manner.A life had been taken away for one that had been given. It was hard to deny that it was fate at work. When Owen was born, he was found to be infertile as well. With that, he was no longer the family’s last hope. Instead, he was the monster who had caused his own father’s death. At this very moment, however, he was looking at me with eyes full of hope. “Dr. Harman, can you cure me? I s

In the surgery room, both Matthew and Owen lay on beds. Cynthia took out my bone needles and shot me a pleased look. She languidly pushed one into place on Matthew’s body. I could tell that she had indeed secretly learned some skills from me. She placed the needle exactly where it needed to be.Soon, Matthew started feeling warm, and his manhood twitched. Cynthia cried out in surprise, “It’s working!”Matthew was so excited that his eyes were alight. “Yes! I can feel it!”The doctors gathered in the observation room stared in amazement. “Am I seeing things right? The patient is having a positive reaction!”“Mr. Ward’s nerves there didn’t even have any reaction to pain before. But now Dr. Cynthia has rejuvenated them!”Cynthia was so thrilled that her face was flushed when she looked up at me. Without my bone needles, I could only borrow a set of silver ones from the hospital.I took a deep breath. I concentrated and used my mystic sight. When I identified the flow of ener

Cynthia cried out shrilly, “What did you do? You’ve killed him!”Matthew was pleased by my failure. “You’re done for, Lilith. Even if Owen is just an illegitimate son, he’s still a member of the Ward family. The Ward family won’t let you off for this! But if you beg me, I might be merciful and help you.”I pressed my lips tightly together and quickly tied up Owen’s limbs before giving emergency aid. The doctors in the observation room were all frowning. “What is Dr. Lilith doing? How did that man end up that way?”“She must have panicked after seeing Dr. Cynthia succeed.”“This is absurd! How could she mess up under pressure? It seems we will have to rethink allowing her to be an expert here!”Fifteen minutes later, Owen was finally stable again, and he fell into unconsciousness. I wiped away my sweat and let out a relieved breath. Cynthia walked over and looked at Owen’s limp manhood. She laughed in delight. “You’ve lost, Lil. I’ll be awaiting your performance.”I peeked o

In an instant, the ward next door descended into chaos. When I brought Owen over, Cynthia was sprawled on the floor in rumpled clothes. Her face was pale with fright. Matthew was being held down on the bed, his face twisted up from pain. He kept shouting, “It hurts! Save me! It hurts so much down there!”I took a glance and saw a huge patch of blood on the bed. Ouch. Even looking at it hurt. Matthew’s mother, Cassandra Ward, slapped Cynthia when she saw her. “What have you done to my son? Didn’t you say you could cure him? Is this what you meant by curing him?”Cynthia was so scared that she trembled all over. “I-I don’t know… I really did cure him…”Harriet hugged Cynthia close, pained that she was slapped. “Mrs. Ward, you shouldn’t just go around slapping people. This must be a misunderstanding. I’m sure Cynthia has cured Matthew. The doctors all saw it!”“You call him cured? He’s lost his manhood!”Cassandra was incensed. She used her handbag and swung it at Harriet’s a

Chapter 7

The ward instantly became quiet. Matthew was the first to come back to himself. He threw the barely conscious Cynthia aside and tried to lunge over. “That’s impossible. He’s useless. He can’t be cured! Grandpa, he’s illegitimate. You can’t let him inherit the Ward family!”Cassandra’s face was pale. She questioned Lester, “You can’t let an illegitimate son come in and lord over Matthew when he’s suffering from such a huge blow! You’ve always adored Matthew. You can’t do this to him!”Lester looked straight at Owen with a calculating gaze. “Doctor, examine him.”“Grandpa!”Ignoring Matthew’s and Cassandra’s protests, the doctor brought Owen to the neighboring ward. Half an hour later, Owen came back red-faced. He nodded at me. The doctor returned with a report and announced disbelievingly, “Mr. Owen Ward is indeed cured. Everything looks peachy! This is truly a miracle. Even a healthy and whole man doesn’t have such great numbers! Mr. Ward Senior, I assure you that Owen he

Third-person POVThere was no news about Matthew for a long time after he was discharged. After tormenting the Harman family to vent his frustrations, he fell into a helpless void. He used to be influential as the heir of the Ward family, and countless young ladies tried to pursue him. However, he had become an invalid who relied on a urinary bag for the rest of his life, and no one wanted him anymore. As such, he decided to run away. The Ward family came from the northeast, and there was still an ancestral home there. By some divine guidance, he managed to find their old house when he arrived in a small village in the mountains. The Ward family had been spending money to hire someone to manage this house, so it was decently clean. It was just disused and thus smelled musty. The longer he looked at this house, in which his ancestor had once lived, the calmer he got.But then, he looked up and saw a painting in the middle of the living room.The painting featured a woman in w

Chapter 9

Lilith's POV’“That’s impossible!”Matthew thought that I was simply denying the truth and was very agitated. “That’s you! She looks just like you! Even the snake tail is the same. How could you not be her?”I returned the painting to him and explained flatly, “This is my ancestress.”“It’s rare for serpent-kin to be female, especially in these later generations. I don’t have the power of my ancestress. Thus, even my human guise is a copy of her. That’s why we look alike. However, you’re not wrong. Indeed, she has always taken care of the Ward family. She’s your family’s guardian.”There were several families of guardians in the northeast. Mainly, these were the Wickett, Schuster, Benson, Lilith, and Gray lines. The serpent-kin were of the Lilith line. The Ward family ancestor saved the life of my ancestress. Because of this, she managed to take the shape of a human. Thus, she made a vow to become the Ward family’s guardian and protect them through the generations. In the

Chapter 10

Matthew was sprawled on the ground, looking sad and pitiful. Many people milling around could recognize that he used to be the influential heir of the Ward family. They had no qualms at all about taking their phones out and recording him to share online. Soon, various media outlets shared this footage. They all highlighted how pitiful he looked with his urinary bag dripping out in public.Even the Ward Group’s reputation was affected. Soon, Cynthia joined in and exposed how Matthew and Cassandra had locked her and Harriet and Bart up and tormented them. Owen was stopped from interfering even as the Ward Group’s share price went up and down. Lester decided to announce the disownment of Matthew and Cassandra. Cassandra was chased out of the Ward family and became homeless. She despised the Harman family and reported Cynthia and her parents for trying to murder me by burning me alive. Matthew also became a witness. He submitted his chat records with Cynthia as evidence.I
