Chapter 378: Chapter 378 Disappointing Scarlett Jennings Over here, Donovan Jennings and Scarlett Jennings were talking in the room. On the other side, in the small study room on the second floor. Grandma Jennings and Chase Jennings, the two living soul dolls, were also conversing. After the fake Chase was forcibly brought back to the Jennings Family by bodyguards from the apartment, Chase’s doll was also brought back and placed alongside Grandma’s doll in a glass cabinet in the small study room. In these past few days, because they could still talk to each other, it kept them from going crazy being trapped in the dolls. However, at this moment, both their voices began to sound somewhat anxious. “Wasn’t that so-called Evil God System supposed to be resolved? Even Azura Loomis was taken away, so why haven’t they come to release us from the dolls yet?” After learning from the Jennings Family that Scarlett had dealt with the system, Chase and Grandma had been waiting for Scarlett to come and release them. Chase even specifically told Grandma, “As long as Scarlett helps me return to my own body, I’ll treat her like my own sister from now on! No more opposing her.” To be honest, the reason Chase used to dislike Scarlett was because of Azura Loomis. Because when Scarlett returned, Azura, who was a substitute for her, became “useless,” and during that time, hearing Azura’s worries and insecurity, Chase had subconsciously regarded Scarlett as an enemy. But now... Having witnessed Azura Loomis’s ruthlessness and cruelty firsthand, where would Chase dare to feel any pity for her? He utterly despised her! So setting aside the factor of Azura Loomis, combined with the experience of being trapped in the doll and being unable to call for help, Chase had already decided repeatedly in his heart that as long as Scarlett helped him this time, whatever she said would go. Yet, he waited a whole day and night and still couldn’t wait for Scarlett. Chase inevitably grew anxious. When a person has no hope, perhaps they might completely give up. But when hope is in sight and yet remains unattainable, people inevitably become impatient. Just like Chase and Grandma Jennings now. “Grandma, do you think Scarlett doesn’t plan to help us? Otherwise, why hasn’t she shown up? Just because we had a minor conflict before, she plans to ignore us now?” Chase couldn’t believe Scarlett was such a petty person. Other matters might be excusable. But this concerns the life and death of him and Grandma! How could Scarlett dare? How could Grandpa and Uncle allow her to not rescue the two of them? Chase had never considered the possibility that Scarlett wouldn’t rescue them. In his view, despite past conflicts, they were ultimately family. And as family, when things happen, you can’t just ignore it. This belief was the fundamental reason why he could hold on despite being trapped in the doll these past days. Grandma Jennings listened to Chase’s words but remained silent until Chase couldn’t wait for her response and called out to her twice, at which point she finally sighed heavily and said, “Ah, Chase, don’t hold too much hope in her. After all, she was raised outside for so many years, and she doesn’t have deep feelings for us. She... was willing to let Azura Loomis harm us, so she might not sincerely help us recover now.” Grandma Jennings ultimately thought of those words Azura Loomis had spoken. Upon hearing Scarlett might have deliberately let them be harmed by Azura Loomis, Grandma Jennings was truly angry. But later, hearing Yucheng explain to the doll the reasons behind it, understanding it was Old Sir Jiang’s decision not to expose things early, Grandma let go of her anger. However, now, as they continued to wait for Scarlett to release them from the dolls, Grandma Jennings couldn’t help but think again about Azura Loomis’s words. If Scarlett had known about the issues with Azura Loomis all along, she must have known what to do to help them avoid Azura’s schemes. Yet she did nothing and said nothing. Doesn’t that also indicate her attitude? If she truly intended to rescue them, even if the old man didn’t want things exposed early, she always could’ve thought of a way. In the end, it’s about not having the heart. Grandma Jennings was somewhat disappointed in this daughter of her eldest son. But fortunately, now that system has been dealt with, even without Scarlett, the old man will surely find another capable Master to save them. Grandma Jennings had no doubt about this. Chase listened to Grandma’s analysis and felt something was vaguely off, but at the same time felt this might just be the case. After all, he too didn’t really understand Scarlett. Yet the thought of potentially being abandoned by this unfamiliar cousin left Chase feeling somewhat tangled and lost. As the two talked, suddenly, the door to the small study was pushed open from outside. A head poked out from behind the door, it was Lucas Jennings. Lucas’s gaze swept around the room before immediately spotting the two dolls placed in the cabinet in the center, prompting him to approach with some curiosity, “Grandma, Brother Chase, is that you?” Lucas gasped and opened the cabinet to take the two dolls, one in each hand, bringing his big face close to one of the dolls, “This boy doll looks just like my brother, so silly. Brother Chase, can you hear me?” He then turned, addressing the girl doll, “Grandma, Grandma, are you okay? Hungry? Thirsty? Am I holding you uncomfortably?” The boy chattered away, regardless of whether he received any response. Initially, Grandma Jennings and Chase were very pleased to see Lucas, but after listening to his incessant chatter, their excitement was halved. “This child, still so loud and boisterous despite his age,” Grandma Jennings was a bit exasperated. Chase was equally helpless with his younger brother, “He’s always been quite reckless.” Saying this, Chase felt somewhat conflicted about this younger brother. After all, he had previously scolded Lucas numerous times for being immature and easily fooled when he unilaterally “broke up” with Azura Loomis and began following Scarlett. But the reality was, he was the one who got slapped in the face. The little brother was actually the “smart” one. The true fool was him all along. Knowing Lucas couldn’t hear them, the two still couldn’t help but ask Lucas about the situation outside, especially regarding Scarlett. Of course, Lucas couldn’t hear them, nor could he see any sign of response on the dolls. He wasn’t bothered by it at all, sitting cross-legged on the floor while holding a doll in each hand, placing the two dolls on the carpet in front of him. “I just wanted to let you know my sister has just returned, Brother Samuel seems alright now too. It’s a good thing he’s okay, otherwise my sister might not have been able to come back.” Upon hearing their return, Chase was immediately a bit excited, and although Grandma had expressed indifference before, she still couldn’t help but feel uplifted. But Lucas continued, “But you don’t need to wait eagerly, my sister won’t be able to help you recover right away. It’s not that she doesn’t want to, it’s just that her spiritual power is exhausted and she needs to rest.” Lucas said this while pointing upstairs. Grandma Jennings and Chase both didn’t know what to say. Lucas then continued, “But even if my sister wasn’t willing to help, it would be understandable, Grandma, Brother, not to argue but before, you didn’t exactly treat my sister well.”
