After Olivia's reminder, Alan said, "You're right! I was wrong. It was goats. Also, there were those flowers that bloom during winter. What are those called again?"
"Valerian. It has medicinal purposes. It helps with insomnia. Just ask if you have any other questions," Olivia replied calmly with a confident glow in her eyes.
Noticing that Olivia had seen through his ploy, Alan rubbed his nose awkwardly. "I'll get to the point. What herbs were you looking for?"
"Moonflower. It's a flower that only blooms when the moon is out. Its petals are bright and attract fireflies."
Alan asked some more questions after that, but he wasn't able to find any holes in Olivia's story.
"I apologize for what happened before this, Dr. Ophelia. Mr. Maxwell is a little quick-tempered. You'll be rewarded handsomely if you heal him."
Olivia frowned. "I don't care for any rewards. I just want to be set free. Who are you people?"
"Don't worry, Dr. Ophelia. We won't hurt you as long as you cooperate. On the other hand, if you decide to do anything you shouldn't, I can guarantee what will happen to you. Don't ask any more questions. I'll take you to where you'll be living now."
Alan led the way and brought her to a small room.
"I'm sorry, but our resources are limited here. This is all we can offer right now. You've had a good scare today. You should rest. Also, don't even think about escaping. Mr. Maxwell gets very angry when people don't obey him."
Alan stood at the door with a chilling smile. "Sweet dreams, Dr. Ophelia."
His smile faded after he closed the door. He looked at the person next to him.
"Go to this address and look into this person."
"Yes, Mr. Tanner."
Olivia knew that they would have people look into her at Canwell City as soon as possible. The face she was wearing was that of a doctor. But the real person left home many years ago and died in an accident.
Not even the person's family members knew she was dead. There was no way these men would know.
