Corbin's carriage was parked in front of the manor, the place where he hides Rebecca. He exited the carriage and went inside the manor.
He met Ebony in the living room about to go to her garden. "How's Rebecca?" he asked.
"She's getting better every day, my lord. Her skin already healed fully," she replied. "I'm going to leave for a while and fetch my sister so that she can restore Rebecca's original face," she added.
"When are you going to leave?" he asked.
"This coming Friday," she responded.
"How about, Rebecca? Who will take care of her?" Corbin asked.
"Rebecca can already use the toilet on her own and Anastasia already knows how to prepare the medicine, so there is nothing to worry about my patient's well-being," Ebony said.
"Good! I'm going upstairs to talk to Rebecca," Corbin said.
"Okay, I'll just stay here to wait just in case you'll need my assistance," Ebony said and lowered herself on the couch.
Corbin proceeds to climbs the stairs. When he arrived at Rebecca's room, he found her looking at her reflection in the mirror while brushing her hair.
She looked at him. "Hello Corbin..." she said.
Corbin went to her side. "Hello to you... you look better every day," he commented.
"Thanks to you, to Ebony and Anastasia. You guys save me from death - especially you," she said with gratitude shining in her eyes.
Corbin smiled. He took the comb from her hand and brushed her hair. "Your hair grows so fast, you used to be bald after the fire burns all your hair, now your hair is growing nicely. And looked at your skin, it already returned to normal! Amazing isn't it!" he commented.
"Yes, I'm completely healed. It's all thanks to Ebony's super effective herbal medicine, she made all these things possible in just a short span of time!" Rebecca said.
Done combing her hair, Corbin put the comb on the dresser table and went to the window, he looked outside.
Silence descended upon them for a few seconds.
Corbin looked at her. "Do you want to continue wearing Laura's look? Or do you want to get your image back?" he asked.
Rebecca cleared her throat. "Um... I want my original look back, although Laura's image is beautiful, I can't continue wearing this facade any longer. Can you help me? Can you remove this golden necklace from my neck? This necklace is suppressing my power, only by removing this necklace I can restore my image to its original state," she said in a pleading voice.
Corbin smiled. "Alright... I'll do it. But on one condition..." he said.
Rebecca sighed. "Here we go again - if you'll only help me just to use me in locating Laura then I'll say no!" she said adamantly. "I would rather become your slave to repay you in saving my life than betray my friends," she said.
Corbin grinned. "Oh, really-? You would rather submit yourself to become my slave than reveal to me Laura's location... is that right?"
Rebecca nodded her head. "Yes..."
"I see..." Corbin murmured. He fell silent for a moment while studying Rebecca's countenance. Such a stubborn woman!
He went to her side and clasped her shoulders gently. "My dear... I'm not asking you to reveal to me Laura's whereabouts this time, what I'm asking you is this... after I removed the golden necklace from your neck... can you promise me that you won't take revenge against the vampire couple who orders your death execution?"
Rebecca's brows furrowed in confusion. "B-but why? Why can't I take revenge on them!?" she asked outrageously.
"Because they're my parents!" He dropped the bomb.
Rebecca's eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
"I saved you out of the goodness of my heart. Now the only thing I'm asking from you - never takes revenge on my parents! After I freed you... go away... do not come back here and do not try to find my parents!" he warned her.
Rebecca looked at him in the eyes. "Are you afraid that I'm going to kill your parents and you can't save them?" she asked indignantly.
Corbin smiled in amusement. "My dear Rebecca... you know what I'm afraid of...? I'm afraid that in the end, I'll have no choice but to kill you. You see... I hate killing the people I already saved."
Rebecca bit her lip. She groaned in dismay. Why can't she take revenge on the people who put her to death? Because the one who saved her is the son of the couple who put her to death!
Her eyes narrowed to a slit. The very first thing she wanted to do after the golden necklace was removed from her neck is to find the vampire couple and kill them without mercy. But now she can't do it! She's furious!
Corbin met her blazing gaze. His countenance grows dangerously cold. "Rebecca... listen to me. You can't take revenge against my parents! You can't harm them or else I have to kill you now!" he said.
