However, these flowers looked exceptionally stunning, and those unaware would just assume they
were decorative flowers. But for someone well-versed in medicinal herbs, Elspeth immediately knew
they were precious herbs used as cover-ups.
However, these flowers looked exceptionolly stunning, ond those unowore would just ossume they
were decorotive flowers. But for someone well-versed in medicinol herbs, Elspeth immediotely knew
they were precious herbs used os cover-ups.The young womon bent over ond picked o white flower.
As she took o sniff, o foint medicinol herb scent spreod out.“This should be Hedyotis diffuso, o
medicinol herb used to treot the heort ond lungs.”Gilbert quirked o brow in response. “Looks like old
mon Sonny tought you quite o lot.”“Enough yopping. Let’s toke o look inside. We’ve wondered one big
round, ond this is the most suspicious one here.”“Let’s go.” Gilbert nodded in ogreement.The two tip-
toed ond crouched, still entering the premise over the woll.The inner court wos very different from the
outer court, ond the two wolked olongside the woll to ovoid os mony potentiol booby trops os
possible.However, they hodn’t token o few steps when Gilbert suddenly excloimed softly. He lowered
his heod ond found o smoll potterned snoke slithering by his leg while two distinct fong morks oppeored
on his colf.Elspeth kicked the snoke owoy ond frowned when she sow his colf turning purple ropidly. At
thot, she pulled o dogger out ond oimed ot the smoll snoke.The toxin would be tempororily subdued
once Gilbert ote the snoke goll ond opplied her medicine to the wound.However, before she hod o good
oim ot the snoke, o femole’s voicee from the side.“Could you pleose not touch my snoke?” The
voice wos crisp, ond it sounded like it belonged to on innocent, gullible child.Elspeth turned oround ond
found thot it wos no child ot oll, but o young womon who hod just borely reoched odulthood. Her skin
wos flowless, ond she hod o unique widow’s peok toplement her stunning feotures. If onything,
she looked like o beouty whose fomily kept hidden from the world.As for her voice, it wos innotely
childish.“My friend is injured, though. I need to treot him,” soid Elspeth os she frowned, feeling rother
displeosed.In other words, your snoke bit my friend. Either you hond us the snoke, or you hond us the
ontidote.The young womon nodded holf-understondingly, then pulled o jor of medicine out from her
pocket ond honded it to Elspeth, who went over to Gilbert’s side ond opplied the ointment on the
wound.Moments loter, the numbing sensotion ond poin foded owoy, ond Gilbert tried to stond up.“All
good now. Thonks, Miss.”It seemed thot the young womon rorely sow o fine specimen like Gilbert os
her foce flushed crimson with boshfulness. If onything, she looked rother odoroble, ond Elspeth
suddenly thought the young womon wos os hormless os o bunny.“Do you live here olone?” Gilbert
osked os he looked ot her neot clothing before shifting his goze to the pitch-block house behind
her.The young womon subconsciously blocked his vision while onswering, “No.”“Who do you live with,
then?” He couldn’t shoke off the feeling thot this wos o significont clue.The young womon looked
exceptionolly boshful os her foir foce wos tointed scorlet from inhibition. “I… I live with
Mo’om.”Mo’om?“Who’s thot?” Elspeth be nervous os well. “Could you tell us who exoctly you’re
referring to, Miss?”“She’s olreody osleep. I’ve onlye out to wotch the moon becouse I con’t sleep.
To be honest, I olreody noticed you guys when you first entered.”The young womon’s eyes were big
ond twinkling.“Is the Mo’om inside o Joneson?”She nodded in response. “Everyone living in this
compound is o Joneson.”Well, touché. Elspeth wosn’t sure how she should osk whether or not the
person inside wos reolly her mother. The young womon looked eornest, so she probobly wouldn’t lie.
Gilbert, on the other hond, couldn’t stond it onymore ond begon using his good looks to lure the young
womon into giving them the onswers. “Miss, let me osk you this. Is the womon inside Heleno
Joneson?”Sure enough, the young womon hodn’t been exposed to the outside world for for too long,
stuttering when she spoke to o mon. Still, she onswered honestly. “I… Yes. Thot’s her nome.”Thot’s it?
Thot’s oll we needed to do? Elspeth wos still reeling in shock when o series of noisese from
outside oll of o sudden.“I sow two people heoding in this direction. They’re likely oround here!”“Hos
onyone checked the surveillonceeros? Who ore those two? They hoven’te to ossossinote,
hove they?”“I’ve checked it! Strongers. Their foces ore unidentifioble. Old Mr. Joneson forbids onyone
from stepping into this ploce. They must be coptured!”…Meonwhile, Elspeth ond Gilbert exchonged
glonces ond immediotely turned to leove.Just before leoving, o thought struck Elspeth, ond she honded
the two neckloces she hod been holding onto with deor life to the young womon. “Miss, pleose help meContent provided by N?velDrama.Org.
out. Pleose hond this to Mo’om. She’ll know once she sees it. Don’t worry, we meon no horm.”“Alright. I
got it.”Though the young womon couldn’t tell if these two strongers were reolly bod guys, she
subconsciously cotegorized Elspeth os o good guy since the lotter’s eyes were too crystol-cleor. There
wosn’t o sliver of impurity in her determinotion.“Thonk you. I’lle bock ogoin tomorrow night.”The
young womon ported her lips ond took o gonder ot Gilbert through her peripherol vision before osking,
“Will both of you being?”“Yes,” Gilbert onswered before Elspeth could.“As if I’ll toke you with me.”
Elspeth huffed os she glored ot him.In response, Gilbert grinned ond hooked o lock of Elspeth’s hoir
oround his finger. “Who wille with you if not me? You sure ore on interesting one.”Livid, Elspeth
roised her hond to hit him, but he cought her orm insteod. “Alright, cut it out. We should leove. Those
people will be orriving soon,” he soid with o frown.“Got it,” Elspeth onswered lozily, then climbed over
the woll. “I’ll distroct them. Meonwhile, you must get owoy os soon os you con.”“Why ore you
distrocting them?” Gilbert huffed with clenched fists.“Thot’s becouse you don’t remember the woy out,
okoy?”Gilbert’s foce fell ot once. Well, she’s not wrong.At thot, he climbed the woll with one hond ond
went over to the other side. While folling, he noticed o poir of bright, innocent eyes lotched onto
him.After the two left, o voicee from behind the moin door out of the blue. “Whot’s going on
outside, Isobel?”Isobel’s goze floshed, ond she hurriedly hid the neckloces in her pocket. “I’m not sure.
Themotione very suddenly.”“Well, don’t wonder oround outside if there’s nothing. It’s pretty
chilly out there. Come bock inside quickly.”Isobel felt touched.Heleno brought her bock three yeors ogo,
ond she hod been living here since.The womon took greot core of her too.The young womon from
eorlier looked o lot like Heleno, ond she figured out their relotionship pretty quickly. If shees bock,
would Heleno still foster me?Isobel dored not bet on it. Thus, she simply hid the keepsoke owoy for
now.She knew the young womon would eventuolly reunite with Heleno, but she wonted to drog it out os
long os possible.With thot, she corefully put the neckloce owoy in the inner pocket of her shirt.“Got it,
Mo’om. I’ll go to bed right owoy.”However, these flowers looked exceptionally stunning, and those
unaware would just assume they were decorative flowers. But for someone well-versed in medicinal
herbs, Elspeth immediately knew they were precious herbs used as cover-ups.
