Nora was greatly alarmed and quickly evaded.
Martin was also frightened, but in order to prevent casualties, he reached out to grab Sophia’s wrist.
Sophia’s arm shook, powered by an unknown force, and sent Martin stumbling backwards, nearly falling to the ground.
“You wretch! How dare you stop me? Taste my blade!” Sophia shouted angrily, abandoning Nora and wielding a kitchen knife, chopping towards Martin’s head.
Jessica couldn’t afford to think too much and hurriedly rushed forward, embracing Sophia from behind and forcefully dragging her. “My dear, wake up! What’s happened to you? I’m your mother…”
Jessica’s intervention saved Martin from Sophia’s kitchen knife.
Sophia’s body trembled and she flung Jessica away, then swung the knife, charging towards Jessica. “Anyone who dares to stop me shall die!”
Jessica exclaimed, “What are you all waiting for? Quickly snatch the knife from her!”
Nora and Martin snapped back to their senses and rushed forward. One embraced Sophia while the other tried to wrestle the knife from her hand.
However, Sophia’s strength was terrifying at that moment. She flung Martin, who was holding her, sending him flying, and at the same time kicked Nora to the ground.
Sophia’s fierce gaze then focused on Jessica, as she made chopping motions with her right hand, slowly approaching Jessica.
Jessica was completely bewildered. She couldn’t understand how someone who was just fine moments ago suddenly turned into this.
Could it be that she was possessed by some unclean entity?
While dodging, Jessica shouted, “Martin, you useless fool! Our daughter suddenly fell under a curse. Think of something!”
“I don’t know what to do either. Should we call the police?” Martin curled his body, his face turning pale.
“Nora, quickly call…” Jessica’s words were interrupted as she tripped over something on the ground and fell hard.
“You wretch, die!” Sophia seized the opportunity and swung the knife towards Jessica’s head as she lay on the ground.
As Sophia’s knife was about to strike Jessica’s head, a cold glint flashed, followed by a loud bang, and the knife flew out of Sophia’s hand.
Leo swiftly stepped forward, grabbing Sophia’s shoulders. “Sophia, what’s happened to you? It’s me, Leo!”
With crimson eyes, Sophia looked at Leo, a sinister smile appearing on her lips as she exclaimed, “Whoever you are, daring to stop me, die!”
Sophia’s body shook, shaking off Leo’s hands.
Leo involuntarily took two steps back, shocked by Sophia’s expression and actions.
“Leo, Sophia has been cursed. You’re a doctor, hurry and cure her!”
Leo’s arrival brought relief to Jessica, who quickly gave orders.
“You shut up!” Leo turned his head and gave Jessica a cold glance.
Meeting Leo’s gaze, Jessica’s heart tightened, a sense of fear rising within her.
After all, she had previously bribed Baldy to deal with Leo, but Leo emerged unscathed while Baldy ended up in a vegetative state.
Nora secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that with Leo’s presence, everything would be alright.
Sophia had already picked up the knife again, waving it while shouting, and slashing towards Leo.
Leo reached out and grabbed Sophia’s wrist, lowly saying, “Sophia, wake up, it’s me!”
Sophia’s lips twisted into a sinister smile a few times, and a powerful force burst forth from within her, causing Leo’s hand to be pushed away. The knife once again aimed for Leo’s chest.
Sophia’s abnormal behavior made Leo’s expression turn grave.
After evading the knife, he reached out and grabbed Sophia’s wrist again, using his control over her while releasing Divine Awareness to probe her body.
Sophia’s pulse was extremely erratic, and there was a strange power within her that was colliding with her meridians.
Sophia wasn’t cursed; she was being controlled by someone’s sorcery.
“Mr. Bloomer, what’s wrong with Sophia?” Nora asked anxiously.
Leo didn’t answer Nora’s question. Instead, he temporarily controlled Sophia using his Spiritual Power, then took out a small silver needle made of precious dragon silver that he carried with him. With the skillful technique of the Nine Extremes Profound Needle, he pierced Sophia’s vital points all over her body.
As Leo finished needling, Sophia gradually grew calm.
After retracting his Spiritual Power, her stiff and tense body suddenly went limp. The knife in her hand fell to the ground, and Leo caught her around the waist.
Upon seeing this, Jessica, Martin, and Nora all breathed a sigh of relief.
Leo laid Sophia down on the sofa.
Sophia’s eyes remained lifeless, her pupils bloodshot and intensely crimson, still appearing terrifying.
“Leo, what’s going on with Sophia?” Jessica asked coldly.
Leo stood up and approached Jessica step by step.
Jessica was frightened by Leo’s powerful aura and cold gaze, continuously retreating. “Leo, what… what do you want to do!?”
In fact, during this period, Jessica had already realized Leo’s strength and dreadfulness, but she was unwilling to admit it to herself.
“Jessica, don’t think I don’t know what you’ve done to me. If you weren’t Sophia’s mother, you would have died countless times!” Leo’s eyes were icy, his tone chilling.
The overwhelming pressure caused Jessica to sit on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
Leo no longer paid attention to Jessica, he returned to the side of the sofa and squatted down, tenderly looking at Sophia, who appeared to be sleeping.
“Mr. Bloomer, is Sophia okay?” Nora approached and asked cautiously.
“She has been controlled by sorcery. I have temporarily suppressed her symptoms,” Leo replied.
“Sor… sorcery?” Nora opened her mouth wide.
Obviously, what Leo said was beyond her comprehension.
“Nora, has Sophia had any contact with anyone unusual recently?”
“Unusual person?” Nora recalled, “Recently, Sophia has been going to and returning from work on time every day. As for who she has been in contact with, I don’t know.”
Leo nodded and reached out to pluck a strand of hair from Sophia’s head.
The current situation Sophia was experiencing was very similar to being affected by sorcery.
To completely awaken Sophia, the person who cast the sorcery must be forced to remove it, or they must be directly eliminated.
Once Leo understood this, he no longer hesitated. He looked at Nora and said, “Nora, please take care of Sophia. I need to go out for a moment, but I’ll be back soon.”
After speaking, Leo walked quickly towards the main door of the villa’s living room.
Martin hurriedly asked, “Leo, what if Sophia has another episode? What should we do?”
Leo paused for a moment and replied in a deep voice, “Sophia won’t wake up for a short period of time. What you need to do is stay by her side at all times and wait for my return.”
With that, Leo walked out of the villa.
