Chapter 248 A Failed Surprise
Rosalie had already prepared herself for the system to fall silent forever.
If it really disappeared, she would feel sad.
After all, the system had been with her since her past life, back when the world had collapsed.

It followed her through the apocalypse and even after she crossed into this new world, helping her again. and again.
Sometimes it acted like a greedy merchant and loved taking her money, but she had to admit it was a good system.
In the end, it even used up all its energy to save her life.
To Rosalie, the system felt like family.
Still, if it was truly gone, she had no choice but to accept it.
She knew she couldn’t rely on outside help forever. She had to learn how to face trouble on her own.
Declan stayed by her side and noticed her staring at a single plant, lost in thought.
He quietly memorized what it looked like.
The afternoon sun was strong, and it was already too late to go deeper into the mountains. Rosalie continued repairing parts instead.
By the time she finished one piece, the sky suddenly turned dark.
A cool wind brushed against her face.
Rosalie frowned. It looked like rain was coming.
She gathered the herbs drying on the ground. They were dry enough.
Inside the house, she ground them into powder, mixed them with other prepared herbs, and added water.
Soon, the mixture turned into a thick medicinal paste.
After dinner, she asked Gael to take off his top and lie on the bed.
The paste smelled awful. Gael wrinkled his nose and tried to escape.
“Don’t move!” Rosalie snapped.
Gael froze mid-motion.
All he could do was let her spread the dark green paste across his back.
He clenched his teeth, remembering the pain from the medicine used on his face before.

Chapter 248 A Failed Surprise
Strangely, after a long while, no sharp pain came.
Instead, his back felt cool and soothing.
He turned his head and shouted in surprise, “Matriarch, it’s different this time!”
Rosalie rolled her eyes. Of course it didn’t hurt.

The last medicine came from the system. The pain was due to the process of rebuilding his skin and repairing deep damage.
This paste only helped with healing over time. It had to be applied every day before results would show.
How could the two be the same?
Since it didn’t hurt and felt cool, Gael relaxed and lay across Rosalie’s lap.
The only problem was the smell.
It was such that every breath took real courage.
Rosalie wasn’t immune to smells. She could smell it just fine.
So, she abandoned Gael and walked out.
Gael stared wide-eyed, shocked that she really left him there alone.
Rosalie carried some things to the backyard and spotted Declan heading out.
Where was he going?
“Matriarch! How long does this stuff stay on?” Gael’s miserable voice came from inside.
He pulled back Rosalie’s attention. She replied loudly, “Wash it off after one hour!”
A painful groan followed from the room. Julien scolded him in a low voice, “Why are you yelling? The matriarch is helping you. Be grateful!”
