Dear Sweetheart Chapter 86
Chapter 86 She Is Simply Too Smart
In no time, Curtis, Murat, and a few other vigers left after breakfast. Rayna stayed at the vige.
When she saw Aisha doingundry, she offered to help.
“You’re pregnant, so stay still. Just sit there and hand the clothes to me,” Aisha stated.
She had always kept in mind that Rayna was pregnant and had to be careful, making thetter
exceedingly embarrassed. In the end, Rayna found a rock to sit on, where she chatted with Aisha as
she watched her doingundry.
“How long have you all lived here, Ms. Aisha?”
“It’s been almost thirty-nine years.”
“That’s quite a long time,” Raynamented. Her curiosity was piqued, and she queried, “There are
many vigers like you here, but why are there still so few people when you’ve all lived here for
decades?”
Logically speaking, the poption here should have increased by half after over thirty years since they
would have a prolonged lifespan thanks to the nt that can regenerate cells. But I didn’t see many
vigersst night. Even kids seemed pitifully few.
“We have no idea why either, but everyone dies at the age of fifty,” Aisha admitted.
Rayna was stunned for a moment. “Fifty?”
I’ve never heard of an age limit for death.
“Yes, it happens to every family. When a child is born, those over fifty years old will die peacefully. For
that reason, the number of people in the vige hasn’t changed much in the past few decades,” Aisha
exined.
“Have you all never considered leaving here? It didn’t seem that far of a journey when we came by car.
You should go and have a checkup at the hospital. Perhaps it’s a health problem,” Rayna suggested.
However, Aisha shook her head with a smile. “This ce is perfect, and everyone is happy. Why
should we leave? Not only will we have to buynd, but we’ll also have to raise a slew of kids if we do
so. Furthermore, no one understands our dialect.”
At that, Rayna did not say anything further.
That’s true. Putting aside the matter of education and healthcare, this ce is indeed paradise on
earth. One can be self-sufficient without having to worry about anything. If I were in her shoes, I
wouldn’t want to leave either.
When Aisha had finished washing a bucket of clothes, Rayna helped her hang them out. Afterward, the
older woman brought her to the vegetable garden at the back.
There was a simple shed made of wood in the garden. When one wanted the sunlight, one could
remove the wooden nk at the top. Besides some mustard leaves in there, the rest of the ce was
filled with a particr nt.
At the sight of the two whole rows of bright green nts, Rayna’s heart pounded wildly.
Gosh, all these are priceless treasures!
Conversely, Aisha did not pay them much mind. She casually plucked two of them and tossed them
into the vegetable basket, saying to Rayna, “Despite Mr. Yildiz’s looks, he’s already forty-eight years
old. Everyone in the vige eats this nt, so we look very young. I’ll use them to boil some soup for
youter.”
“S-So incredible?” Rayna stammered, almost losing the ability to speak. “This is the first time I’m
hearing that someone’s age can be reversed in all my years.”
Aisha giggled and replied, “Yes. This is a gift to us from God. However, this nt can only survive in
this ce. Someone from the vige wanted to sell it outside, but it withered and died during the
journey.”
Ah, I see.
Finally, Rayna understood why no one harbored any thoughts of selling the priceless treasure. It turned
out that it could not survive elsewhere.
If this nt can’t be taken out, it means that Curtis will have to send a research team here. Several
factions had been targeting us before we even came here. If a research team were really to be
stationed here… Well, this seemingly inconspicuous nt is capable of having the whole world go
crazy over it. Humans are selfish. Bound by the restraints of mortality, they would surely want to have it
to themselves when they learn of its existence. Wouldn’t that be tantamount to bringing devastation
upon this vige?
A chill went down her spine, and she dared not continue thinking along those lines. Leaving with Aisha,
she asked airily, “How does this nt grow again, Ms. Aisha? Does it also rely on the roots to absorb
nutrients?”
In response, Aisha nodded. “Yes. Its reproduction capabilities are amazing. If you cut off the leaves and
water it for a few days, it’ll grow back perfectly.”
“Really?”
Rayna nced over her shoulder at the nts in the shed. An idea took shape in her mind.
In the afternoon, Curtis, Murat, and the others came back.
Curtis drove a jeep. Rayna noticed that the hooded vehicle had been modified. There was tremendous
space at the back with all sorts of food.
“Do the few jeeps following behind carry the same things at the back?” She pulled him aside and
inquired of him while the vigers were distributing the goods.
Curtis grunted in assent and exined, “After receiving the location you tranted, I had someone buy
all that was necessary. They don’t need money here, merely food and seeds.”
Rayna pursed her lips. Without warning, she toppled backward.
His expression promptly changed. Swiftly wrapping an arm around her waist, he hurriedly scooped her
up into his arms and carried her into the house with no time to spare for the vigers around. Just as he
ced her on the bed, she opened her eyes.
He was promptly stupefied.
Is she ying a prank on me?
“You remember the clothes I worest night, yes? They’re hung outside and have probably dried. Go
and take them in,” Rayna whispered.
Upon seeing that she did not appear to be joking, Curtis spun on his heels and went out. Shortly after,
he returned with the clothes in his hand.
“Close the door. Keep it shut.”
Again, he was confounded.
When Rayna received her clothes, she immediately removed her earring and used the tiny hook to pick
the threads of the flower embroidered on it. A piece of customized paper and some dye were hidden in
the unraveled flower.
Straightening the curved earring hook, she dipped it into the dye and used it as a pen to write a few
strings of numbers on the paper.
With a single nce, Curtis deciphered her message. “The density of ss? Why are you suddenly
writing this? Did something happen?” he questioned.
“Our thinking was too simple in the past,” Rayna answered. She then narrated her conversation with
Aisha, telling him about the nt’s survival rate.
“I think it must be an issue with the soil. If we want to transport it out, we need customized ss jars.
Figure out a way to go out again and hand this to Mr. Tylinski, Mr. Faymon.”

Hearing that, Curtis frowned deeply.
I’ve never considered that, nor have I ever imagined that there’s such a nt that can only grow in a
small part of thend in the same area. If I’d known about it earlier, I would’ve devised a
countermeasure.
A long moment passed before he remarked, “In that case, we’ll need to stay here for a few more days.”
“You’re right. We just need to find a chance to puncture the jeep’s tire. I don’t want to destroy someone
else’s paradise for the sake of making money,” Rayna murmured.
Lifting his eyes, Curtis stared at the woman in front of him. She was a head shorter than him and had
dark brown dye on her face and body, yet she appeared like a tiny sun, emitting light all over. His heart
abruptly skipped a beat.
She’s simply too smart.
“M-Mr. Faymon? Is there dirt on me or something?” His gaze was so scorching that Rayna felt like she
was some prey under a predator’s watch. A sense of fear pervaded her.
Shaking his head, Curtis stated solemnly, “The three wishes I granted you still hold true, Ms. Gand.
Just say the word if you want anything, and I’ll make it happen as long as it’s within my power.”
“There’s nothing I want right now. I’ll think about it after we head back to our country.”
“Sure.”
Rayna had no idea what excuse Curtis used, but he went out again with Murat and the otherster in
the day. While no one was paying attention, she punctured the jeep’s tire with the hook of her earring.
