The Medallion

Chapter 1055 Exactly The Same

"Isis, you must hold on!" Rocky's breathing quickened as he stared anxiously at Isis, who looked as if she was about to pass out. However, he knew he had to keep calm and keep his hands steady. The smallest mistake could put Isis' life in even more danger than it already was.

Two hours passed.

Sweat trickled down Rocky's forehead. He had finally managed to stop the bleeding in Isis' body, but by now, she had already lost consciousness due to the excessive loss of blood, and she was still in danger.

Therefore, as soon as he finished stitching the wound on her body, Rocky took out the bottle containing the last few drops of magical saliva and poured two drops into Isis' lips. At the same time, he channeled his spiritual power into her body and manipulated the magical saliva to accelerate the formation of new blood cells in her body.

Another two hours later, color gradually returned to Isis' pale face, and her breathing became smooth. Seeing that she was finally out of danger, Rocky walked to Marin, took the baby from her, and began to check his condition.

"Good. Other than the fact that his breathing isn't that smooth, he's completely fine," he said in a reassuring tone after thoroughly checking the baby.

"How is Isis?" Marin asked immediately.

"She is fine. She has just been through a lot." Rocky looked back at the sleeping Isis with a strong sense of love flashing in his eyes. He knew that Isis had tried her best to deliver the baby. Most women would not even have been able to hold on for a few hours, let alone from yesterday till now.

"That's great." Tears of joy welled up in Marin's eyes, but then she suddenly remembered something and glared at Rocky. "You bastard, aren't you supposed to be dead? How are you suddenly here?" Lance and Isis hadn't told Marin that Rocky was still alive, so for Marin, seeing him was quite a shock.

Until now, she had just accepted his appearance without question because her mind had been filled with worry about Isis and the baby. But now that the two of them were doing fine, she turned her attention to Rocky.

"I'll explain it later. You can call the midwife and the maids back. No water should touch Isis' wound for a few days, so tell the maids to be careful when they take care of her. If anything happens, you can come and find me in the opposite house." After saying that, Rocky vanished into thin air.

At this moment, Sabina was pacing back and forth on the first floor of the Isis Pavilion, nervously biting her lip. When she saw Rocky suddenly appear in front of her, she immediately asked, "How is Isis?"

"She is fine. Fortunately, we came in time, otherwise..." He didn't even dare to finish the sentence. If they had come even two hours later, there was no telling what would have happened to Isis and the baby.

Sabina let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "What about the baby? Is it a boy or a girl?" she asked, looking a bit more relaxed.

"A boy," Rocky replied.

"What a pity. I wish it was a girl!" Sabina grumbled.

"Let's go to the opposite house first. It's not convenient to talk here." Worried that he would be recognized, Rocky led Sabina to the yard opposite the Isis Pavilion and entered the house where he had used to live.

The moment he stepped in, it was obvious to him that no one had entered this place in quite some time. The whole house was covered in dust and filled with stale air.

"This is the only place I can stay in for now," Rocky said. He was worried about Isis and didn't want to be away from her, so he had no choice but to take the risk of staying at the base camp.

"I'll go and see what I can do," Sabina said, and then promptly left.

Not long after, Lance hurried into the house, panting.

"Thank heavens you came in time! Otherwise, both Isis and the baby might have..." He stepped forward and grabbed Rocky's shoulders with an extremely grateful look in his eyes.

"It's good that they are fine," Rocky said calmly. "Where is Lucilla? Why didn't I see her? Shouldn't she be with Isis?"

Lance put down his hands and resumed his composure. "Lucilla went to the Imperial City half a month ago to help General Marcia with something," he replied.

"Oh." Rocky nodded.

"I heard from Sabina that you just came from the Ji Mansion. How is it going?"

"Alston sent an envoy named Jason to pick up Sybil and take her back to the Palace City. He intended to use her to control the Ji Clan, but Sabina and I managed to thwart his plans. However, I don't think Alston will let it go. He will try to find another way to deal with the Ji Clan," Rocky said, briefly explaining the situation.

"Well, General Marcia and I are almost ready. As long as you can get the support of the Ji Clan or the Ximen Clan, you can object to the Emergency Chamber and go on to inherit the throne," Lance stated thoughtfully.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"The chief of the Ji Clan is a cautious person. He won't do anything rash before the situation is clear. Besides, I think the Ximen Clan might have other plans. If Bryant is ambitious, it would make sense for the Ximen Clan to use its strength to create a situation of tripartite confrontation," Rocky said, rubbing his chin.

"As far as I know about Bryant, as long as the royal family doesn't go too far, he won't have other intentions. Besides, don't underestimate the strength of the royal family. They are far stronger than you think," Lance pointed out, shaking his head.

"I know. General Marcia has already told me that. So, if we want to fight against the royal family, we should win over the Ximen Clan. We've destroyed Alston's plan to control the Ji Clan, so he will definitely target the Ximen Clan next," Rocky said.

Lance nodded seriously. "The attitude of the Ximen Clan is very important."

Rocky thought for a while in silence before something occurred to him. "By the way, how is the investigation about my father's disappearance going?"

"No much progress has been made. However, General Marcia has always felt that his disappearance might have something to do with the Dragon Master Clan," Lance said slowly with a sigh.

Rocky narrowed his eyes. "What motive would the Dragon Master Clan have?"

After a day and night of being unconscious, Isis finally opened her eyes, much to everyone's relief.

At this moment, there were only five people in the Isis Pavilion besides Isis herself —Rocky, Lance, Sabina, Marin, and the baby in Marin's arms.

"Are you okay?" Rocky asked softly. He was sitting next to Isis, holding her hand and looking at her gently.

"I'm fine. I want to see if it's a boy or a girl," Isis said, shaking her head slightly as she tried to stretch and look over Rocky's shoulder.

Marin immediately walked forward and put down the tightly-wrapped baby next to Isis. "Isis, it's a cute boy. Although he looks like you, his nose and eyes are the exact replica of someone..."
