Arabella pulled to a stop at the red light, whipping out her phone.
[Boss, here’s the photo they sent. You’ve got to see if it’s legit.]
Arabella clicked open the photo and squinted. Yup, it was indeed glycyrrhiza and the root of a purple
lotus.
Whether it was the shape, colour, texture, or even the root part, she could confirm that these two things
were the real deal.
“Send me the location.”
Boss, are they really legit? Damn, they’re good. They found these two things so fast when we spent
three goddamn months looking for them! We were worried they might try to con us with fakes]
It’s actually real!
They want you to meet them at a small house in Peach Valley, out in the boonies.]
Arabella shot back an OK. The light turned green, and she pressed down on the gas, heading to the
meeting spot.
To avoid drawing attention, she parked her car in a secluded spot in Peach Valley and headed toward
the small house.
Before long, a car with no plates pulled up in front of her
A dude in a suit stepped out. He paused when he saw Arabella and asked, “Are you Dr. Bell’s daughter
or apprentice? We were supposed to be meeting Dr. Bell!” “I’m Dr. Bell.”
“You?” The suit guy stared at her for a good three seconds before saying, “Listen, little girl, you know
what happens when you lie, right? You could get into trouble… I suggest you tell the truth. If Dr. Bell
can’t make it, we can reschedule.
“I am Dr. Bell.” Arabella’s vibe was frosty as she said expressionlessly, “I guarantee it.”
The suit guy paused again for another three seconds, then opened the car door, saying respectfully,
“Sorry for the misunderstanding, Dr. Bell. Please forgive my rudeness.”
Although he was struggling to accept that Dr. Bell was a young woman,
Either way, he decided to get her back to their place first.
Arabella didn’t hold a grudge, climbing into the back seat and accepting an item he handed over.
“By agreement, you must wear this blindfold until we reach the patient’s location.”
Arabella knew they didn’t want her to remember the route. But what they didn’t know was that she had
had an impeccable sense of direction since childhood. Even blindfolded, she could map out a clear
route in her head.
But she didn’t let him in on this and obediently put on the blindfold, looking perfectly at ease.
Only then did the suit guy start the car, taking the scenic route.
This time, the patient’s age, gender, identity, condition, and even location were all kept under wraps.
But Arabella came because of the glycyrrhiza and the root of purple lotus, as they could enhance
acetylcholine levels in the brain, working with other precious herbs to help treat Alzheimer’s disease.
The driver took a long detour and finally pulled over at a spot.
“Dr. Bell, we’ve arrived. You can remove the blindfold now.”
Arabella had sensed a familiar feeling about this place earlier. Now, a familiar scent of flowers filled her
nostrils.
When she took off the blindfold, she realized she knew the villa in front of her well.
Although the driver had taken her through the back door, Arabella quickly recognized that this was
Fairfield Manor.
This was Fairfield Manor!
Could the person who invited her to see a patient be Romeo?
Could the patient be Shirley?
Meanwhile.
