"Thank you, Hackett..." Dorian nodded and wiped the cold sweat on his face.
…
Meanwhile, in the Cryolet Continent.
In the Stanford family's backyard garden in Hidden Dragon Town.
Darryl was lounging in the sun. Since he married Selina, he had officially moved into the Stanford family as their son-in-law.
Old Master Stanford arranged the marriage to make Selina happy. Since Derrick had a bad reputation in Hidden Dragon Town, he did not expect him to do anything for the Stanford family. So, Darryl had nothing to do those days.
Since he did not have to do anything, he had been trying to break through the restrictions in his body. Unfortunately, his efforts had all failed.
At the same time, Darryl also observed Selina's condition discreetly from time to time.
Several well-known specialists diagnosed Selina's ailment as Bloody Scales disease. As the term suggested, some inconspicuous places on her body would form blood-red scales, similar to fish scales. As her health declined, the scales spread throughout her body, finally festering and deteriorating.
After several days of observation, he found that Selina's disease was not a coincidence. She must have been poisoned by some insects.
Darryl wanted to observe more. However, Selina did not allow him to enter her room after their marriage. She did not even want to see him.
That made Darryl helpless.
At that moment, the door to Selina's room was opened. Sheniqua walked out of the room and headed toward the pharmacy behind.
The Stanford family was a big family in Hidden Dragon Town, and there was a special pharmacy in their mansion.
Darryl knew that Selina must have had a relapse. He immediately stood up and followed closely behind Sheniqua.
She did not see Darryl at first. She was taken aback as she emerged from the pharmacy and spotted him standing at the door. She patted her chest and asked, "What are you doing? Sneaking around?"
She could not hide the contempt on her face when she spoke.
Sheniqua was not relieved at all. She chased after him and said, "Don't be stupid..."
While they talked, she noticed that Darryl had skillfully picked out the medicinal ingredients and put them into the pot.
"Have you done this before?"
Sheniqua was surprised. That loser always seemed like he was a good-for-nothing. She did not expect that he would know what he was doing.
Darryl smiled as he adjusted the temperature and said, "When I was sick, I made the medicine by myself. It's not a big deal."
He was confident that Selina was poisoned with the Crimson Scale Earth Dragon's toxins, a special lizard on the continent.
Furthermore, Darryl had kept all the herbs in mind when he sorted through them. That prescription would stop the poison's progression, but it would not cure Selina.
Then, Darryl asked, "Sheniqua, has a Crimson Scale Earth Dragon recently appeared in Hidden Dragon Town's vicinity?"
