When My Fiancé Carved Out My Crystal Core Chapter 3

I announced I needed to rest and recuperate, temporarily ceasing all treatments.

Later, my best friend from college, Emma Chen, came to chat. That's when I learned Ethan had searched every healer in the settlement trying to treat Madison, even offending the respected Grand Elder. Not only did he fail to heal her, but her injury worsened.

I was delighted to hear it, though my eyelid kept twitching.

Seeing me smile, Emma patted my shoulder. "You've looked worried these past days. It's good to see you smile. Stop wasting energy on those scumbags."

Seeing me nod firmly, she relaxed and continued cursing the cheating couple.

Emma cursed freely, and I listened with satisfaction.

Thank goodness Emma stayed rational, not turning against me like in my dream.

I hadn't become isolated and betrayed like in the dream.

Until New Year's Eve, when everyone was celebrating, the zombie horde that had been quiet for months suddenly went berserk and attacked the settlement.

The gates were on the verge of collapse. I quickly ordered Emma and two elite fighters to evacuate civilians to the shelter.

I faced the crumbling gates alone, watching the massive wave of zombies, doing everything I could to resist.

I bought them as much time as possible so they could protect all the settlement's people.

I activated my crystal, releasing wave after wave of energy to repel the endless zombie horde. I wielded my whip, its tip leaving countless afterimages in the air.

When this endless battle finally ended, I stood atop piles of zombie corpses, hands forming seals, gathering the last thread of energy in my body to strike down the final wave at the gates.

After exhausting my energy, dizziness overwhelmed me.

I wanted to reach the shelter to check for casualties, but I couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed to the ground.

Gasping for breath, grateful to have survived, my vision was suddenly blocked by a figure.

Ethan stood before me, glaring viciously as if he wanted to devour me whole.

Madison stood behind him, her expression no longer weak or delicate.

"Olivia, now that your energy is depleted and no one's protecting you, let's see how arrogant you can be."

Ethan's gaze was poisonous, glaring at me viciously.

"Since you won't heal Madison, then you'll repay her with your crystal core!"

My eyes widened, pupils contracting sharply.

So the dream was coming true after all.

Ethan walked toward me step by step, expression cold, his hand piercing through my body.

Under Madison's eager gaze, he carved out my crystal core alive.

But I felt no pain because I'd anticipated this moment and blocked the pain with my energy.

Looking up at Madison, who was eagerly waiting to receive the crystal, the corner of my mouth lifted slightly.

Fools will always be fools.

My crystal core was twin-born: one half healing, one half virus.

And what Ethan just carved out was the virus half.

I was already looking forward to watching this delicate flower turn into a zombie and tear into that scumbag!

Madison, oblivious to the truth, stepped on my head after receiving my virus crystal.

She gloated, "I'm about to become a stronger healer than you! I'll take everything you had, and you'll be dragged from your pedestal, betrayed by everyone, and expelled from the settlement!"
