Willow signed again, telling Olivia to stay away from Jacqueline, for there was something off about her.
Olivia nodded. "You should be careful, too."
Willow shook her head, signing, "Mom, I'm not scared."
She used to follow Wendy everywhere, and Wendy cared about her a lot.
Wendy had cast a protection spell on her so that curses wouldn't come near or touch her.
But Olivia was different.
Olivia was an herb-imbued person, and she was immune to many toxins. However, she wasn't immune to curses and spells.
These things were too dangerous. Olivia would fall victim to them if she let down her guard even a little.
"I'll be careful."
Jacqueline seemed to have sensed Olivia's gaze. She looked at Olivia and then smiled.
The smile was warm and gentle, but Olivia felt a chill running down her spine.
Jacqueline was wearing a tailored outfit, and she carried herself elegantly.
However, she was also skilled in witchcraft. Olivia couldn't help but think of the word "femme fatale".
Jacqueline slowly approached Olivia.
Willow stood next to Olivia, unmoving.
"Dr. Fordham, how long will it take you to cure Sean's insomnia?"
Shaking off her thoughts, Olivia said calmly, "I'm not sure. Modern medicine is all about effectiveness, whereas herbal medicine aims to strengthen the body and proceed in small steps.
"It'll take a longer time."
"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Fordham," Jacqueline said kindly.
"Since you're going to stay here for a while, I'll get a wider room prepared for you. You and your daughter can live more comfortably there.
"There's an empty room on the first floor, and it's quite close to Sean as well. It'll be easier for you to take care of him if you stay there.
"By the way, Dr. Fordham, where are you from? I can give orders so that the maids will prepare the dishes you like for every meal."
"It's alright, Ms. Jacqueline. Willow and I aren't picky. We'll eat anything."
