Chapter 380 Do You Think You Can Stop Me?
Calista spoke with self-reproach: "It's all my fault. I didn't watch Kennedy carefully when she was born and accidentally let someone seal her energy channels."
Over the years, Kennedy had been mocked as useless because of this. Even when Eldridge was still around, many in the family ridiculed Kennedy. Even those guards, though they still showed her respect on the surface, secretly looked down on her.
But the inability to practice ancient martial arts was in no way Kennedy's fault.
Calista felt she didn't deserve to be a mother. She hadn't protected Kennedy during her most vulnerable time, allowing someone with bad intentions to scheme against her.
Isabella looked at Kennedy and Calista, and slowly said: "I've found someone who can unlock your energy channels. Do you want to give it a try?"
Hearing this, Calista frowned slightly. "Back then, we searched all over Novaria, but almost every doctor said there would be over ninety percent chance of death. Ms. Taylor, even if you've found someone who can unlock the energy channels, I'm afraid..."
"He said there's over a ninety-five percent success rate," Isabella said.
She had asked Louie about it.
Louie said it wasn't difficult for him, and he was completely confident.
Calista was stunned. "Ninety-five percent... success rate?"
"That's right." Isabella nodded.
Calista and Kennedy exchanged glances, both showing slight shock in their eyes.
"That's why I came to ask you - do you want to try?"
Kennedy looked at Isabella seriously. "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true."
"Ms. Taylor, may I ask who this person is that you say can unlock Kennedy's energy channels?"
Calista wasn't doubting Isabella, but all those previous doctors had said they could only guarantee about ten percent success rate. Yet with Isabella, the success rate could be as high as ninety-five percent! This completely exceeded her understanding.
Isabella saw no need to hide it from her and said directly: "It's Louie."
Hearing this name, shock immediately flashed through Calista and Kennedy's eyes.
Louie?
Novaria's number one fortune teller?
Louie's divination abilities were so good he could be called a god.
In earlier years, Louie wasn't surnamed Powell. He came from a divination family, the Rhodes family, originally named Louie Rhodes.
Eight hundred years ago, the Rhodes family was a famous clan in the Northern Ice Empire. At that time, the Northern Ice Empire had twelve great families, and the Rhodes family was one of them, occupying an absolutely important position.
The twelve families inherited mysterious powers from their ancestors, and the Rhodes family's ability was divination.
Back then, everyone knew the Rhodes family's divination abilities were the best in the world, so many people spent huge sums just to have the Rhodes family divine for them. Therefore, the Rhodes family not only had wealth and status, but also absolute connections.
But by Louie's generation, the Rhodes family was in internal turmoil. Family members had different agendas, schemed against each other, and killed one another, causing the direct bloodline that inherited the divination abilities to gradually decrease and disappear at an extremely fast rate.
Perhaps completely disappointed in the Rhodes family, or perhaps seeking protection to avoid the family chaos, Louie chose to leave the Rhodes family and join the Powell family.
After Louie changed his surname to Powell, the Rhodes family's internal strife still didn't stop. The Rhodes family's numbers kept decreasing, until now, people from the Rhodes family were rarely seen in the entire Northern Ice Empire.
The overnight disappearance of fortune tellers made divination a very rare ability now. Knowing that Louie from the Powell family was once from the Rhodes family, many people still sought him out for divination.
And since Louie was both a rare fortune teller and a member of the Powell family, and it was said that Gwyneth even honored him as a military advisor, not just anyone could request Louie's services.
"Louie is also skilled in medicine?"
"That's right. The Powell family originally studied medicine as well, it's just that divination became more famous."
Hearing Isabella say this, Calista naturally wouldn't doubt Louie's abilities anymore. She even grabbed Isabella's hand somewhat excitedly: "Ms. Taylor, if you can really get Louie to help our Kennedy, I'll agree to any request you have!"
Isabella smiled. "You don't need to say that. Kennedy and I are friends. I'm helping her because I want to, so naturally I won't make any demands."
After speaking, Isabella noticed Kennedy hadn't said anything and seemed distracted, so she asked: "Do you have some concerns?"
"No." Kennedy snapped back to attention, looked at Isabella with a serious expression: "Isabella, I was just thinking... you're helping me so much, sending people to protect me and my mother, and now getting Louie to find someone to unlock my energy channels. Everything you've done, I really don't know how to repay you."
Kennedy smiled bitterly. "And I don't seem to have anything I can give you."
"What I've done is just a small effort," Isabella said calmly. "You don't need to take it to heart."
A small effort?
Kennedy didn't think this was a small effort at all.
It must take great effort to get the Powell Family Army, and Louie too - not just anyone had the chance to get Louie to help.
She just assumed Isabella was trying to comfort her.
Kennedy clenched her palms. No matter what, if she had the chance in the future, she would definitely repay Isabella.
Isabella asked a few more questions about Kennedy's recovery, then left the hospital room.
At the door, Dorian saw her come out and respectfully nodded. "Ms. Powell."
"Has anyone come looking for them during this time?"
Dorian shook his head. "No."
Isabella nodded. "Keep it that way. Without permission, no one can enter this hospital room. Got it?"
"Understood."
Only then did Isabella leave with peace of mind.
Taking the elevator to the first floor, Isabella immediately saw Garth leading several people walking toward her with fierce expressions.
She immediately stopped in her tracks.
Why could she recognize Garth at a glance? Because Kennedy had shown her photos of Garth and Eldridge together. Garth had the kind of face that looked very ambitious.
In the time Isabella stood there in a daze, Garth had already led his people to her. Seeing the girl blocking the elevator entrance, Garth immediately became impatient. "Get out of the way!"
Isabella saw his aggressive manner and frowned slightly. "Are you here to find Kennedy?"
Garth was first stunned, then stared at Isabella warily. "How do you know?"
"If you're here to find Kennedy, then I suggest you go back. My people are watching at the hospital room door and won't let you in. During this time, you'd better stay away from Kennedy, and don't think about using violence to try to snatch any shares from her."
Garth didn't expect Isabella to say so much to him.
He looked Isabella up and down. "You sent people to protect Kennedy?"
Before Isabella could say anything, Garth just laughed. "You think you can stop me?"
A little girl, talking so big.
