Lydia was well aware of how touchy Connor’s identity was. The way the Black Eagle guys reacted earlier made it pretty clear they’d figured out who he was.
Sure, maybe they wouldn’t pick a fight with him to his face, but you never knew where the real danger was hiding. Even if Connor was retired now, in their eyes, he’d always be on the other side.
Whatever happened, he needed to stay at Mount Gemspire.
“No way. I’m not letting you go alone,” Connor said, his tone stubborn.
Lydia just shook her head. “Relax. I’m going there to help them out. They won’t lay a finger on me.”
“I’ll go with you,” he said, not backing down.
She softened her voice. “I know you’re worried, but if you come, it’ll just make everything messier. I’m only going to check on the patient, then I’ll come back and start working on the antidote. It won’t take me long, I promise.
You should take some people and head up the mountain to look for Vision Rejuvenation Grass. When I get back, we can pick it together and make the medicine.”
Connor looked like he wanted to argue, but Lydia spoke up before he could. “Just listen to me this time, okay? If you keep pushing, I’ll get mad.”
He saw she meant business, so he gave in, but only a little. “I’ll have Damien go with you. Take some more people, just in case.”
Lydia nodded. “That’s fine.”
Scar, one of the Black Eagle guys, didn’t look convinced. “Miss, you really know medicine? You can actually help us?”
He was clearly worried this was just some trick to snoop around their turf.
Lydia shot him a teasing look. “What, are you scared?”
Scar let out a nervous laugh. “I’m just worried you might not be able to help. If something goes wrong, I’ll get blamed.”
“I’m willing to try. Are you brave enough to take me?”
“You… just you?”
The Triangle was a mix of all kinds of people, and the town showed it.
The Black Eagle main house followed the local style, built from dark wood, with a sloped roof and narrow windows that looked like sharp eyes set deep in thick walls.
As they reached the main gate, Scar pulled out a strip of black cloth and looked at Lydia. “Miss, it’s our rule. Anyone who isn’t Black Eagle gets blindfolded before coming in. It’s for your own good.”
Lydia let out a cold little laugh. “You asked me here to see your old madam. How am I supposed to treat her if I can’t see?”
“We’ll take it off once we get to her room.”
“My rule is simple. If you trust me, I’ll treat her. If you don’t, I won’t. If you’re not really serious about this, I’ll just turn around and leave. Find someone else.”
Lydia stood tall, her presence almost intimidating. She turned as if to leave.
Scar immediately panicked. “Miss, wait. Please don’t go.”

Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
