Chapter 513


    After Dane left the guest room, he made his way to the pharmacy. Once inside, he pulled out a chair


    and settled at the desk, picking up a pen and paper and beginning to write.


    In no time at all, the page was filled with a list of more than a dozen ingredients. If Hiki was there, he


    would recognize that the list matched exactly the one previously made by Mirabe,


    Dane leaned back in his chair. His gaze was fixed on the paper before him. Each ingredient seemed to


    promote cirction and gently nourish the body, but when considered together, thebined effect


    didn’t seem particrly potent. Moreover, each ingredient had its side effects, which, whenbined,


    appeared to neutralize one another.


    The more Dane studied the form, the more he admired its subtle genius. If he hadn’t had a penchant


    for studying the properties of remedies, he might not have grasped its intricacies so quickly. That young


    Mirabe seemned to truly have some skill.


    Just then, Asher walked in to fetch something and was surprised to find his brother Dane, lost in


    thought at the desk. “Dane, weren’t you with Owen?” he asked as he approached.


    His eyes thennded on the prescription in Dane’s hand, and after a quick nce, he inquired, “A tonic


    prescription? Is this something new you’re working on?”


    Snapping back to the present, Dane ced the prescription on the desk. “No, this was prescribed by


    that youngdy for Owen.”


    At this, Asher squinted skeptically and picked up the prescription for another look. “This? With Owen


    being in such dire straits, she prescribed a mild tonic? Are you sure she’s not exacerbating the illness?”


    Dane tapped the tabletop lightly and shook his head. “Although the ingredients seem nourishing, the


    combination is quite bnced. You probably aren’t familiar with the special properties of a few items on


    this list…”


    Asher, knowing his brother could go on about pharmacology for hours, quickly interjected, “Dane,


    perhaps you shouldn’t dwell on this prescription. Right now, Owen is under the care of the Reeves


    family. We should be focusing on finding a cure for him.”

    He paused before adding, “Dad may be a bit out of sorts, but we can’t afford to be. The priority is to find


    a treatment.” He hadn’t given a second thought to Mirabe’s potential usefulness,


    Interrupted, Dane frowned slightly but didn’t say more. However, after a moment’s thought, he stood


    up, reiming the prescription


    from his brother’s hand.


    He moved to the counter where the herbs were kept and began to meticulously measure and crush the


    specified amounts in a mortar, preparing them for processing.


    Asher followed and asked, “Dane, you’re not thinking of making a Pill with these herbs, are you?”


    Dane hummed in affirmation.


    Asher touched his nose, wondering if his brother was perhaps a bit too invested? Wasn’t this the


    prescription written by that young girl? Why was he using it to concoct medicine? He just couldn’t wrap


    his head around it.


    Since Dane was busy at work, Asher decided not to question further and simply watched him prepare


    the medicine. He recalled watching Mirabe prepare medicine once, and now observed Dane’s


    methodology, noticing differences.


    Dane’s process seemed more intricate, with each ter being weighed several times for precision before


    being ced in the crucible. In contrast, that young girl seemed to have used a more approach,


    grabbing and tossing the herbs into the mix as she saw fit.


    Comparing the two, Asher couldn’t help but think that his brother Danes, approach to medicine was


    indeed more professional.
