Emotions rippled in Xyla’s eyes.
A while later, Janine was struck with realization and blurted, “Those medicine formulas!?”
She knew that the ancestors of the Irwins were royal doctors in the palace and had been for generations. They later combined the local herbs unique to Southeast Aciatic and came up with a set of formulas that they used until this day.
Xyla nodded with mixed feelings.
Janine looked at her. “Those formulas were supposed to be yours! Rowan giving them to you is returning them to the rightful owner, yet you’re still hung up on him?”
“The formulas aren’t mine,” Xyla said softly. “The Irwins’ formulas had long been lost. My grandfather later sponsored a medical student, Rowan’s birth father, who became our family's right-hand man. The medicine formulas… were his creations.
“The whole set of medicine went viral back then, but… since I left the family, all types of medicine produced by the Irwins’ drug manufacturing factory have switched formulas.”
Janine was stunned. “Because the formulas are with you? This… shouldn’t be. Rowan must have long memorized the set of formulas!”
The air went quiet suddenly. Only the bubbling of the kettle could be heard.
“Is this… considered the last piece of memory he’s left you?” Janine’s voice was low. “But why did he give them to you?”
Xyla took a deep breath and elaborated slowly, “I’ve never met Rowan’s birth father. Since I could remember, I treated him as my elder brother. After I grew up, I found out he was an adopted son. After that…”
After that, they fell in love, and Rowan doted on and spoiled her.
No one wished the relationship well back then. Her parents, the family, and even Janine, who had always been close to her, did not support it.
