Hera panicked the moment she heard that. “I trust her!”
Luca and Shanks were both watching her.
Hera repeated herself, saying, “I trust her, okay? What kind of treatment does she need? I’ll cooperate with anything. But what about Abel…”
“I’ll tell him it’s just to help improve your overall health,” replied Shanks. Then, he turned around, opened the medicine cabinet, and started preparing the prescription.
Hera let out a sigh of relief. As long as Abel did not find out about her health condition, that was all that mattered.
If he knew she was unwell, he would send her back to A City. Without free medical help and no way to make extra money, she would be in serious trouble.
“Thank you,” said Hera.
“Wait outside,” instructed Shanks.
“Okay.” Hera carefully stepped out.
Luca, however, remained where she was, waiting.
While preparing the medicine, Shanks asked, “Do you know which acupoints to target for her?”
“Yes,” Luca replied confidently. As long as she checked Hera’s pulse, she would know exactly where to insert the needles.
“You’ll be busy from now on. She needs dry needling treatment every day,” added Shanks.
“No problem,” Luca said indifferently.
“She also needs to take herbal medicine. Find someone to prepare it,” continued Shanks, jotting down the prescription on a piece of paper.
Following the prescription, Luca gathered the necessary herbs from another medicine cabinet.
“I’ll find someone to brew the herbs.” Luca took the wrapped package and left the lab.
As soon as she reached the first floor, she spotted Gerald practicing boxing in the living room.
“Ms. Craw, aren’t you making breakfast today?” asked Gerald. He had waited for a long time, but since Luca never came downstairs, he ended up eating instant macaroni instead.
“I don’t have time. Hey, you got a minute?” asked Luca.
“Yeah.” Gerald nodded.
“Perfect. I need your help.” Luca led him into the kitchen. “Do you know how to brew herbs to make medicine?”
“I’ve never done that before.” Gerald frowned. He was not familiar with kitchen-related stuff at all.
“I’ll teach you,” suggested Luca. He was the only one she could rely on in this small villa.
She would not trust the others with this task. They were fine for fighting or causing trouble, and they could even take care of the volunteer if needed. However, preparing herbal medicine was a delicate process. If she left it to them, they would probably waste a ton of it.
Gerald did not refuse and instead took out his phone to record her instructions.
“This is kind of complicated. You even have to control the heat carefully.” Gerald’s brows furrowed.
“It’ll be much easier once I get an electric herbal cooker.” Luca handed him the herb package. “But for now, we’ll have to do it the traditional way. Come on, show me what you’ve learned.”
“There’s even an assessment for this?” Gerald muttered while playing back the recording of her instructions and following along with the process.
Seeing that he was handling everything fairly well, Luca nodded. “It's easy to burn the herbs since it’s your first time brewing them. If you mess it up, just come look for me to get a fresh batch and give it another shot.”
“Got it.” Gerald could not help but feel curious. “Who’s this medicine for? The volunteer? I haven’t seen them take herbal medicine before.”
“Stop being so nosy. You’ll know once it’s ready,” replied Luca. She was not worried that they would be able to figure out Hera’s condition just by looking at the herbs.
Without formal training, it was impossible to identify the prescription based on the herbs alone.
