Chapter 673
“No. 38 Wisteria Road should be here."’ Robin walked in front of Curtis and Rayna and matched the residence's unit with the number on a paper in his hand. He pointed at a wooden brick house in front of him and said to Curtis. “This is the place. Mr. Faymon.”
“Go and knock on the door/’ The second Curtis finished his sentence, Rayna reminded Robin. “Robin, check if there's a doorbell. While we were walking just now, I noticed the deliverymen rang the doorbell of the houses in the neighborhood."
Upon hearing that. Robin stood in front of the door and glanced around the door frame to locate the doorbell but to no avail. “Mrs. Faymon. I don't find any doorbell here!"
“No doorbell?" Rayna froze for a moment. She then deduced. “I believe the wooden brick houses here in Jayfort should have the standard design as approved by the government.”
After studying the door closely, Curtis held Rayna's hand, walked to the wall on his left, and pressed a button installed on a flower pot. The doorbell rang.
“You're a genius, Mr. Faymon." Upon noticing what Curtis did. Robin scratched his head with his hand. “Why didn't I think of that.”
“The residents here are all involved in the pharmaceutical business, particularly herbal medicines. So using plants to hide their doorbell is a common trick they used," Curtis explained.
Right after the explanation, a smell of herbs from the house wafted through Robin's nose. It smelled like the usual herbal medicine but was mildly herbaceous.
After pressing the doorbell three times, someone in the house finally came to open the door. The young girl, who answered the door, wore a traditional costume and had her hair bunned up. Looking confused, she looked at the three people standing outside. “How can I help you?"
“We are looking for Cassidy," Robin replied.
“Cassidy is not here today. Come again another day." When the young girl was about to close the door. Robin went up to stop her. “Hey. kid. Any idea when will she be back?"
“I'm not sure. She might be back in a day or a couple of months," the girl answered and pouted helplessly. “I can't believe she took Jaune along and left me alone in this house. It's as if she was not worried that some bad guys would barge in and kidnap me!"
“What? A couple of months?" Robin's heart sank when he heard Cassidy might only return a few months later. He turned around and looked at the grim-faced Curtis and Rayna. who, on the contrary, looked calm. “Mr. Faymon, Mrs. Faymon. would you like to go back first? I'll come and collect the medicine from Cassidy on your behalf."
“It's okay. Let's stay here for a few more days since we're already here." Curtis placed liis hand on Rayna's waist and pulled her to his side, trying to assure her everything would be fine. “Let's wait for another day. If she still hasn't returned. I'll get someone to find her and bring her back."
Rayna hummed in response. She was disappointed but did not show her emotion because she did not want Curtis to worry and cause him unnecessary anxiousness. “Let's find a place and rest. I'm a little tired." She was not lying when she said she was tiled. In fact, she felt energy had drained out of her right after leaving the mansion by the sea. Even the short walk from the car to the house here seemed to take forever.
Rayna wondered if the blood parasite would suck her blood. What a disgusting name.
Once again, the young girl closed the door. After glancing at the wooden structure, Curtis wrapped his hand around Rayna's waist, turned around, and left. As usual, Robin led the way ahead of them.
“Shayma, are they gone?" A woman in a figure-hugging gown walked over while carrying a puppy when she noticed the door was shut.
“In a week," the doctor answered.
Upon hearing that, the man shook the doctor's hand. “Do not give anyone the report. I'll come and collect the report myself."
“We w’on't give it to anyone. Only you're allowed to collect the report, so don't worry." The middle-aged doctor patted the man's shoulder and watched him enter the elevator. Once the elevator went down, the doctor turned around and bumped into an elderly man who had just limped out of the office. “Show me the thing he gave you."
“Here you go. Mi; Zeller." The doctor entered a room and handed him a zip-lock bag that contained a blood-stained Sumanthovean army knife.
After passing the bag to his female assistant, Andrew’ reminded the doctor, “You know what to do. right?"
“Yes, I do." The doctor inclined liis head in acknowledgment.
Andrew's assistant then gave him a yellow7 envelope. “Here is a gift from Mi; Zeller." She continued warning the doctor icily, “Tliis is between us. Got it? I'm sure you're aware of the consequences if anyone else found out about tliis, Dr. Heckler."
“Yes, yes. Got it." The middle-aged doctor accepted the yellow’ envelope and bowred before Andrew; He dared not even look the man in the eyes.
“Let's go. Jean." Andrew said to liis assistant. He walked with a crutch and headed in the elevator's direction while Jean followed right behind.
