He wanted to hide it, but it was too late.
Casey wiped away her tears and said angrily, "The martial arts that our family practices has always had a problem - chronic poisoning. Only the Healing Herb can cure it, but Healing Herb is hard to find... We've only come across this one in so many years... And you took it away from us."
As he spoke, he became more and more upset and tears streamed down his face once again.
Sylvia looked at him and sighed, "Alright, I'll save one person. Two leaves of the plant are enough for that. You can have the rest of the plant back. Take good care of it and you'll be able to breed more."
Everyone was stunned by her generosity.
Carmelo was the first to react, "What did you say?" She's giving it to us? How much do we owe you?"
Sylvia shook her head,"No need for money; I'm giving it to you."
Everyone was shocked.
"She's really giving it to us?"
"We're saved!"
"But she didn't ask for any money? Is she going to turn around and destroy our entire clan?"
The black-clothed people began whispering among themselves with half-belief.
They all thought Sylvia's behavior was too generous.
Casey finally stood up from the ground wiping away his tears as he looked at Sylvia skeptically.
He took a deep breath as he received the Healing Herb from Sylvia, still not believing what just happened, "Are you really giving this to me?"
"Saving your family is my way of accumulating merit," Sylvia spoke calmly without any fluctuation in her voice as if talking about drinking water or eating food instead of treating this valuable herb like something worth millions, "I only need one use out of this herb; saving one person will suffice while your entire clan can live on because of its effects. It's worth ten million dollars."
"Wow! There are still people like you who value their principles?" Casey felt dizzy with disbelief wondering if he heard correctly, "Do you have some ulterior motive against our Blood Medical Sect?"
"I am already a doctor myself. What could I possibly want from your sect?" Sylvia couldn't be bothered wasting time explaining herself any further. "Take it or not; it doesn't matter either way."
"I'll take it!" Casey protected the Healing Herb as if it were a precious treasure.
Carmelo's heart pounded, and he bowed deeply to Sylvia. "Miss, your generosity shames us. We will remember this favor and repay it in the future."
The other black-clad men immediately followed suit, expressing their gratitude with utmost sincerity.
"Until we meet again." Sylvia nodded and turned to Franklin. "Let's go."
And so Jasper and his companions disappeared into the night."Fool! I forgot to ask her name!" Casey shouted towards where Sylvia had vanished. "Kind stranger, may I know your name?"
But all that answered him was the rustling of the night wind.
The three of them quickly returned to the capital of H Rovirsa by helicopter.
Sylvia took a nap on board; she was quite tired.
In fact, when Casey led his men to attack earlier, she already knew they were from Blood Medical Sect.
She just never expected Casey to be such a crybaby!
She couldn't tell from their encounter at the auction house!
People really can't judge others by appearances alone.
Once they landed, fearing that the leaves of Healing Herb would wilt without proper care, Sylvia had put some water mixed with preservatives in a small bottle for safekeeping. So when she delivered it to Wright residence, the leaves were still fresh enough for use.
Without hesitation, she boiled it into medicine for Mrs. Wright to drink.
"After drinking this medicine," Sylvia explained while sitting onthe sofa next to Mrs. Wright, "the damage caused by Abrus precatorius will slowly disappear until you are fully healed. Otherwise, you'll continue experiencing symptoms that will greatly inconvenience your life and health."
Mrs. Wright looked at her gratefully. "Sylvia, thank you."
"We're family; no need for thanks," replied Sylvia with slightly tired eyes but an incredibly bright gaze nonetheless.
"I cooked some pork ribs that you like; let's eat before you leave," said Mrs. Wright gently yet affectionately. "I've been remembering many things lately, and I remember clearly when your mother taught me how to cook these ribs."
As she spoke, Mrs. Wright became increasingly emotional until finally, she couldn't say anything more. She lovingly gazed at Sylvia, reaching out her hand to tuck away stray strands of hair behind her ear. "Your face looks very similar to your mother's."
"Never mind, let's just enjoy the moment. I never thought that after all these years, I could still have your company," Mrs. Wright said as she got up and headed towards the kitchen. "She's much better than that brat Brayden. It's nice to have a girl who knows how to take care of me! Jenna even changed my bed sheets this morning, she's such a sweetheart."
"Well then, you should be nicer to Jenna," Sylvia said as she sat on the couch and held Franklin's hand. "Can we go back to Aettosa tomorrow?"
Franklin looked at her tired face with concern in his eyes and asked, "Are you tired? We can wait a couple of days before going back."
"I can't leave Hipps Family like this; it bothers me too much," Sylvia sighed. "I don't know why but I feel like they're good people, especially since Mollie came begging for help."
Even though she knew the Hipps family was innocent, seeing them suffer made her heart ache.
