Before long, each of the five plates was filled with different stems and leaves... Rowan arranged them on the table one by one.
Sometimes his brows furrowed, and other times he relaxed.
There were no research equipment here like in his laboratory, so developing and extracting the antidote was particularly difficult.
It was like trying to make a meal without rice.
But Rowan couldn't stop; he had to search for his thoughts... There was no guarantee of success, even after trying ten different combinations of herbs, but he had to take that first step.
Time was running out for his father, and he couldn't afford to waste any more time.
But Rowan felt reassured because it seemed that he didn't need to say much. Ivan would find a solution for him. Rowan felt a deep understanding between him and Ivan.
They trusted each other unconditionally.
After about two hours, as the clock was about to strike, it was getting late... A wave of tiredness washed over Rowan. He tidied up the plants he had just worked on and walked to the window. The heavy curtains automatically opened, revealingthe glass window.
Rowan looked in the direction of the nearby palace, where Claire was staying. What was she doing? Was she asleep?
Recalling her beautiful appearance tonight, Rowan couldn't help but think of her...
The night grew deeper.
In a well-decorated palace, in a 300-square-meter bedroom connected to a dressing room, the door was locked. Claire sat on a hammock, hugging her laptop.
She had already taken a shower and was wearing a silk nightgown, with her long hair flowing down. Her hands occasionally tapped on the keyboard, and sometimes she fell into a daze. She let out sighs from time to time.
She couldn't concentrate on writing tonight.
But she couldn't sleep either. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Rowan, and she eventually closed her laptop.
Although they were so close, even a simple greeting seemed like a luxury! This feeling was truly torturous.
