Chapter 1270 Ulterior Motives
Alas, she didn’t realize she was being followed.
Not far away, Donovan stepped out from behind a tree. He squinted his eyes at Arielle’s distant figure before going after her.
When Arielle went deeper into the mountain, she was surrounded by tall trees that formed a thick canopy above her. There were also weeds and strange plants all around.
As poisonous bugs, snakes, and rats would flit by her feet, Arielle felt as though she were in an indigenous forest.
Although she was a woman, she was unbothered by her treacherous surroundings. Back then, she had tagged along with the Wilhelms and trekked deep into the mountains to seek knowledge from ancient Chanaean medicine experts. Thus, she was used to it.
The herbs she had prepared earlier came in handy at that moment. She applied them all over her body and tossed them to the ground so that the animals would stay away from her.
Behind her, Donovan saw everything, and a hint of rage flashed across his eyes.
Arielle observed her surroundings and immediately started digging when she found the herbs she wanted.
Two hours later, her bag was half full of herbs.
“Eh?”
Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she strode forward swiftly. She came to a stop before a rotten tree and bent down to confirm her guess.
“Two reishi mushrooms! This is an amazing find!” Arielle blurted out.
Carefully, she plucked the reishi mushrooms off the rotten trunk and kept them in her bag.
The thick reishi mushrooms were at their maximum medicinal value now.
Arielle’s side profile was undeniably attractive under the sunlight. Utterly captivated, Donovan revealed himself and went toward Arielle, Queenie’s reminder all forgotten.
