The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 455

Jade urged in response, "What are you waiting for, Helen? Get going already—or do you think you can take responsibility if anything happens to my daughter?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Gina replied and quickly told Helen, "Go on—head over to Frank Lawrence's house and tell him to hand over the drakeroot."

Helen shrugged exasperatedly. "Mom, why would he ever give us the drakeroot for nothing?"

Gina could not care less. "Oh, he used to listen to everything you say, didn't he? Just be nice to him, and he'd be wagging his tail as he gives it to you without hesitation."

Seeing that Helen was still reluctant, she added, "Look, this is a matter of life and death—you have to do your best here!"

"Fine." Helen sighed exasperatedly at her mother's stubbornness and hailed a cab alone to go to Frank.

At Skywater Bay, Frank had refined the drakeroot and other ingredients into a pill.

After feeding it to Frida, he taught her a cultivation technique to help stabilize her condition.

"How long would it take for her to return to peak form?" Vicky asked in curiosity.

"Around a month," Frank replied calmly. "Her meridians are mostly fine now, and she will be in peak form after taking her time to heal."

"Wonderful." Vicky sighed in relief.

"It's Helen Lane," Frank admitted.

Vicky giggled as she studied him in turn. "So why aren't you answering? Feeling awkward because I'm around? Should I leave?"

"Oh, just stop being sarcastic." Frank scoffed and answered the intercom. "Yeah, what is it?"

Helen stared into the camera as she said, "Frank… I need a favor. Can we talk face to face?"

"A favor?" Frank did a double take—he definitely did not expect that!
