Chapter 228 Scott-Tutton Family

• "Legend has it, an ancestor of the Scott-Tutton Family once saved a moribund woodcutter in the mountains. When he checked the woodcutter's condition, he found an ulcer in his abdomen." Jennifer's turbid, forlorn-laced eyes stared into space, looking like she had reverted to the days she listened to stories sitting on a bench.
• "The ulcer grew weirdly. It wasn't big, but if one looked closely, they'd find a face with a nose, a mouth, and all. The ancestor was shocked when he first saw it, but seeing that the woodcutter was on the verge of death, he decided to do whatever he could to save him. That said, the ancestor had never seen such a peculiar ulcer, so he didn't have the remedy for it. Thus, he made a few attempts but to no avail; the woodcutter still passed. When he died, the blood in his system was nearly gone, but the terrifying thing was that the face-like ulcer was still active. As though it could breathe, the face would pop out every now and then while hiding beneath the skin other times."
• At that, a glimmer flashed across Katherine's eyes as she made a bold assumption. "That ulcer feeds on human blood, doesn't it?"
