Chapter 164
Angeline remained silent. She knew Evander was simply exining why he was so nervous when she
had only suffered a minor cut on her hand before this.
No wonder I’ve never seen such unusual-looking nts before. Turns out those are medicinal herbs.
At that thought, Angeline was confused. “But why are they nted in your house?”
“It’s just some nonsensical logic from Roger, iming that my backyard is an auspicious ce in terms
of geomancy.”
Upon hearing that, Angeline couldn’t help but chuckle softly as she spoke wryly. “I suppose he chose
your backyard because your house is rtively safe.”
She was smart enough to guess it right away.
Evander’s mood improved significantly when he saw her smile. He then leaned against the couch and
exined in a low voice, “Yes. Roger’s father raided a lot of the medicinal herbs developed by Roger
and confiscated them all. Thus, it’s safest to leave the herbs with me.”
Evander, of course, would never engage in any business that would result in a loss.
Roger’s medical skills were exceptional. He had treated many people acquainted with Evander that
suffered from unusual andplex conditions throughout the years.
All of a sudden, a thinyer of cold sweat beaded Angeline’s forehead, and terror shed across her
eyes.
If Evander hadn’t stopped her in time previously, she would’ve been poisoned.
As the two of them were chatting, Roger’s solemn voice was heard from upstairs.
“Could you bring Mrs. Golding upstairs now, Evander?”
Roger was dressed in a ck protective suit and gloves, but they had no idea what he had been up to
upstairs. A strong aroma of medicinal herbs wafted from the room.
Evander took Angeline up to the third floor. It was originally a small rooftop but had since been turned
into aboratory by Roger.
There were rows of cabs lined up in therge space. They were either filled with books or different
kinds of rare and precious medicinal herbs.
Even though Angeline had prepared herself for the unexpected, she was still taken aback by what she
saw in front of her.
She couldn’t believe that there was a ce like that in the Golding residence, for Evander and the
others had never mentioned it before.
An enormous wooden tub filled with ck liquid was ced in the center of theboratory. For some
unknown reason, the liquid in the tub was bubbling.
Roger walked over and poured a bottle of greenish liquid into the tub. Immediately, a foul and pungent
smell permeated the room.
Angeline hastily covered her nose, but she was still nauseated by the stench.
“You want her to bathe in this?”
Evander frowned, disgust evident in his expression.
“Yes. Mrs. Golding is experiencing an allergic reaction all over her body. The application of ointment will
have a slow effect. In contrast, this refined concoction will help increase her chances of recovery.”
As he spoke, Roger had already mixed the medicinal liquid and was looking at Angeline with a solemn
expression.
“Take off your clothes and get inside the tub, Mrs. Golding. Evander and I will go outter. Remember,
don’te out for at least half an hour. We’ll remind you when the time is up.”
“Okay.”
Angeline nodded. Her face turned slightly pale as she stared at the wooden tub.
However, she had no other choice but to hope for the best.
It was better for her to endure the pungent stench than to live with the terrible consequences of
disfigurement.
Even though Evander had been dragged out of the room by Roger, he was still concerned for Angeline
as he lingered outside the door.
“Are you sure this concoction won’t cause any side effects?” Feeling doubtful, Evander couldn’t help
but question Roger.
“Evander, are you so concerned about Angeline that you don’t even trust my medical skills?” Roger
said bluntly with a darkened expression.
There was nothing much Evander could say upon hearing Roger’s words. His steely cold gaze was
tinged with worry as he remained silent.
Roger sighed in disbelief as he gazed at Evander.
As Evander’s old friend, Roger knew him to be a relentless and decisive person. He simply couldn’t
wrap his head around the fact that Evander would care so much for a woman.
He then produced a cigarette from his pocket and offered it to Evander while patting thetter’s
shoulder, reminding him in a low voice, “Evander, if you truly care for Angeline, you’d better find the
culprit who harmed her.”
Upon hearing those words, a cold glint appeared in Evander’s eyes. Lighting up the cigarette with a
lighter, he puffed out a cloud of smoke before replying, “I know what to do.”
He didn’t need to guess to know who was the culprit.
Once Angeline became disfigured and her career was destroyed, the person who would benefit the
most from that was, of course, Joseline.
In the past, Evander and the Sorelle family had always stayed out of each other’s way. As long as his
interests were not affected, he would never take the initiative to harm anyone.
But now, for Angeline’s sake, he would have to make an exception.
Anyone who hurt Angeline, be it someone from the Sorelle family or the Yiurk family, I swear I’ll never
let them off!
He then turned to look in the direction where Angeline was, concerned about her current condition.
Furthermore, having to soak inside the wooden tub would be an unpleasant experience.
Initially, when Angeline removed her clothing and stepped into the wooden tub, the water had a cooling
sensation. However, the longer she stayed inside the water, the higher the temperature rose.
In the end, it got so hot that she was almost out of breath, and her cheeks were burning. Despite that,
Angeline remembered what Roger had said to her. No matter how ufortable she was, she had to
endure every moment of it.
Half an hourter, Angeline finally emerged from the wooden tub.
Upon undergoing treatment, she felt unusually relieved as if she had been reborn.
The rashes on her arms also reduced visibly.
Having changed into a fresh set of clothes, Angeline came out of the guest room to see both men
sitting in the living room, sipping coffee with smiles on their faces.
Evander noticed her presence, and tenderness soon filled his deep, abyss-like eyes.
“How are you feeling now?”
“Much better. I don’t feel as terrible as before. What kind of herbs did you mix into the concoction,
Roger? It’s really amazing!”
Roger sipped his coffee slowly and spoke in a gleeful tone.

“It’s top secret. You wouldn’t even know what they are even if I told you about them. However, based
on yourplexion, you should have a high possibility of recovering, Mrs. Golding.”
This is great news!
An undisguised look of joy emerged in Angeline’s eyes. She was incredibly impressed with Roger. I’m
sure he’d be sessful if he opens a clinic!
Also, she was moved by Roger’s dedication to researching the things he loved without seeking fame or
fortune.
Shortly after, Roger advised her of several precautions, telling her that it was safe for her to go outside.
However, it was important for her to stay away from dusty ces.
He then handed her some ointment that he had created so that she could apply it to her body several
times a day.
Angeline felt ashamed by how often she had misunderstood Roger previously as she listened to his
meticulous and caring words. She couldn’t help but say to him, “Thank you so much for your help,
Roger. I don’t even know how to repay you.”
“Don’t mention it, Mrs. Golding.”
Roger waved his hand nonchntly as he raised his brows at her and smirked. “As for my repayment, I
won’t be asking for money from you. However, I remember how much Evander enjoys your cooking,
and Floretta won’t stop talking about the yummy dishes you made. I’d really like to try…”
Upon hearing that, Angeline quickly agreed. “Why don’t you sit here and wait for a bit? I’ll go to the
kitchen to whip up something for the both of you.”
After all, it would be insensitive of her to deny Roger’s only request.
Only upon entering the kitchen did she realize Francesca was nowhere to be seen.
