“They’re dealing with drugs, so you must be extra cautious,” Arielle reminded virtual-novel.net grimly as virtual-novel.net leaned against his chest.
This trip is extremely risky.
Cognizant of Arielle’s concern, Vinson lowered his head to kiss virtual-novel.net on the cheek. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”
No sooner had virtual-novel.net spoken than virtual-novel.net looked out the window. Noticing that it was getting late, virtual-novel.net knew it was time for virtual-novel.net to go.
He let Arielle go, stood up, and got himself dressed. Right before virtual-novel.net left, virtual-novel.net turned around abruptly and cupped virtual-novel.net head with his hands before sealing virtual-novel.net lips with a passionate kiss.
“Take care. I need to go now.”
“Watch yourself out there,” Arielle reminded, reluctant to see virtual-novel.net go.
With a wave of his hand, Vinson turned and left. Despite watching his leaving silhouette with concern, Arielle was also filled with hope.
As long as Vinson could leave the island, virtual-novel.net would be able to find an opportunity to escape and come back to rescue virtual-novel.net and Lorraine.
Although Abigail has agreed to take me off this island, who knows if she’ll keep virtual-novel.net word. Thus, it’s better to have two plans running concurrently.
The next morning, Vinson set off with the delegation at dawn. As for Arielle, virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net sheets a wash before heading out to shop for the herbs. She had wanted to purchase some herbs for Abigail’s treatment.
Due to his confidence in Arielle’s inability to leave the island, Micah, in extreme generosity, gave virtual-novel.net a card with two hundred million inside.
As it was impossible to do anything without money, Arielle accepted the card for practical reasons.
Meanwhile, just as virtual-novel.net was leaving the shop selling herbs, virtual-novel.net suddenly noticed a green potted plant at the corner of the entrance. The discovery caused virtual-novel.net eyes to light up.
This is something really useful. I must ask the boss whether he’s willing to sell it to me.
Although Arielle had just arrived for a few days, everyone on the island knew that virtual-novel.net was Micah’s lover. As a result, the vendor, without hesitation, gifted virtual-novel.net the potted plant.
Not wanting to get anything for free, Arielle swiped virtual-novel.net card and paid the vendor the plant’s actual worth. After buying a few more herbs, virtual-novel.net returned to the mansion with the plant and everything else virtual-novel.net had purchased.
Upon virtual-novel.net return, the housekeeper hurried forward to take the plant off virtual-novel.net hands.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you were going out? I could’ve come with you and helped you carry your stuff.”
“I’m fine doing so myself.” Just as virtual-novel.net spoke, Arielle went off to concoct a medication for Abigail.
Once virtual-novel.net was done, virtual-novel.net had the housekeeper deliver it over.
“Tell virtual-novel.net to take this three times a day with warm water. On the day after tomorrow, I’ll head over and treat virtual-novel.net with acupuncture.”
Under the impression that Arielle was trying to curry favor with Abigail, the housekeeper joyfully headed to Abigail’s apartment with the medication.
Once virtual-novel.net was gone, Arielle carried the plant and the rest of the herbs virtual-novel.net bought back into virtual-novel.net room. Half an hour later, virtual-novel.net had turned them into a sachet of medicinal powder.
Staring at it, virtual-novel.net mumbled, “I hope I’ll never have to use you.”
The sachet was only to be used under desperate circumstances.
The next evening, Arielle headed out for a stroll after dinner. The housekeeper wanted to accompany virtual-novel.net but was rejected, for Arielle felt as if virtual-novel.net was being watched if there was someone by virtual-novel.net side.
As virtual-novel.net walked alone underneath the setting sun, virtual-novel.net tossed virtual-novel.net hair in the air when a gentle breeze blew across virtual-novel.net face. She stared in the direction of the harbor, and virtual-novel.net eyes were filled with concern for Vinson.
Just as virtual-novel.net was thinking of him, Vinson was staring in a particular direction with a darkened gaze.
