Chapter 764 Biological Father Still Alive
With that, Satan personally carried the infant's soul to a crossroads. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the crooked-neck tree.
After forcing the infant's soul back into her lifeless body, Satan arranged for two little demons to closely guard the baby, never leaving her side.
Scarlett's house suddenly caught fire, and the flames shot up into the sky.
Satan muttered a curse under his breath and quickly rushed over.
By this time, Isadora had already been swallowed by the sea of fire, while Scarlett trembled with a knife in her hand.
She wanted to kill Marcus for revenge, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Marcus, clutching his broken leg, said in pain, "Scarlett, you can't kill me. It's a crime. Quickly take the gold bars and leave with the child. As for Isadora, I pushed her into the flames, and I will take responsibility for her death!"
"And how will you take responsibility?" Scarlett asked.
"You don't need to worry about that. It won't involve you or the child. Just go!"
Enduring the pain of his broken leg, Marcus stuffed four gold bars into Scarlett's embrace. "Hurry, go as far away as possible!"
Before he could finish speaking, a burning beam fell and hit Marcus's leg.
"Marcus..." Scarlett hurried back to save him.
But Marcus waved her off from within the fire. "Don't come back. Just go. I've been tired of living for a long time. The way it is now is a relief for me..."
The entire mansion collapsed.
At the crucial moment, Satan appeared and took Marcus to the underworld.
Scarlett didn't know where Marcus had gone. Despite being on fire, she continued to search for him desperately.
"Marcus..."
Scarlett's voice tore as she called out, having lost any desire to escape.
Unable to find Marcus, she didn't want to live anymore.
Satan noticed Scarlett's death wish and quickly returned to the crooked-neck tree. He pinched the little baby's arm hard.
The baby let out a loud cry, and upon hearing the child's cries, Scarlett suddenly found a glimmer of hope to keep living.
Rolling back and forth in the thick snow, extinguishing the flames on her body, she disregarded everything and returned to her child's side.
She wanted to climb the tree and bring down the child, but in her current state, battered and bruised, she couldn't possibly climb.
Postpartum lochia trickled down her pants, leaving her very weak. With no strength left, she weakly said, "Baby, mommy can't do it anymore. You must keep crying, cry until someone comes to save you..."
Satan sighed deeply and decided to go the extra mile. He pushed the birds' nest off the tree.
And in Scarlett's eyes, all of this appeared as if the baby struggled and cried, forcefully pulling the bird's nest from the tree.
...
After reaching this point, Ivy, Scarlett, Bluey, and the others finally understood a truth, that Ivy had already died once back then.
It was Satan himself who sent Ivy back to the mortal world, giving her a second chance at life.
And Ivy's biological father, Marcus, hadn't passed away either. In the moment when the house collapsed, Satan saved him and brought him to the underworld. As for where he is now, only Satan himself knows.
Ivy just wanted to express her gratitude to Satan when the scene suddenly switched to the moment Ivy fell into the water.
In the dark depths of the river, Ivy's strength had long been exhausted, and she showed no signs of life.
Satan used his magic to revive Ivy and secretly released the seventy-seven thousand-year-old Multicolored Pearl Clams bred in the underworld into the dark abyss, allowing Ivy to have a miraculous underwater escape.
In other words, Satan not only gave Ivy a third life but also granted her the Magic Pearl, which had been nurtured for seventy-seven thousand years.
Everything that Ivy has today is all thanks to Satan.
