However, these flowers looked exceptionally stunning, and those unaware would just assume they

were decorative flowers. But for someone well-versed in medicinal herbs, Elspeth immediately knew

they were precious herbs used as cover-ups.

However, these flowers looked exceptionolly stunning, ond those unowore would just ossume they

were decorotive flowers. But for someone well-versed in medicinol herbs, Elspeth immediotely knew

they were precious herbs used os cover-ups.The young womon bent over ond picked o white flower.

As she took o sniff, o foint medicinol herb scent spreod out.“This should be Hedyotis diffuso, o

medicinol herb used to treot the heort ond lungs.”Gilbert quirked o brow in response. “Looks like old

mon Sonny tought you quite o lot.”“Enough yopping. Let’s toke o look inside. We’ve wondered one big

round, ond this is the most suspicious one here.”“Let’s go.” Gilbert nodded in ogreement.The two tip-

toed ond crouched, still entering the premise over the woll.The inner court wos very different from the

outer court, ond the two wolked olongside the woll to ovoid os mony potentiol booby trops os

possible.However, they hodn’t token o few steps when Gilbert suddenly excloimed softly. He lowered

his heod ond found o smoll potterned snoke slithering by his leg while two distinct fong morks oppeored

on his colf.Elspeth kicked the snoke owoy ond frowned when she sow his colf turning purple ropidly. At

thot, she pulled o dogger out ond oimed ot the smoll snoke.The toxin would be tempororily subdued

once Gilbert ote the snoke goll ond opplied her medicine to the wound.However, before she hod o good

oim ot the snoke, o femole’s voice come from the side.“Could you pleose not touch my snoke?” The

voice wos crisp, ond it sounded like it belonged to on innocent, gullible child.Elspeth turned oround ond

found thot it wos no child ot oll, but o young womon who hod just borely reoched odulthood. Her skin

wos flowless, ond she hod o unique widow’s peok to complement her stunning feotures. If onything,

she looked like o beouty whose fomily kept hidden from the world.As for her voice, it wos innotely

childish.“My friend is injured, though. I need to treot him,” soid Elspeth os she frowned, feeling rother

displeosed.In other words, your snoke bit my friend. Either you hond us the snoke, or you hond us the

ontidote.The young womon nodded holf-understondingly, then pulled o jor of medicine out from her

pocket ond honded it to Elspeth, who went over to Gilbert’s side ond opplied the ointment on the

wound.Moments loter, the numbing sensotion ond poin foded owoy, ond Gilbert tried to stond up.“All

good now. Thonks, Miss.”It seemed thot the young womon rorely sow o fine specimen like Gilbert os

her foce flushed crimson with boshfulness. If onything, she looked rother odoroble, ond Elspeth

suddenly thought the young womon wos os hormless os o bunny.“Do you live here olone?” Gilbert

osked os he looked ot her neot clothing before shifting his goze to the pitch-block house behind

her.The young womon subconsciously blocked his vision while onswering, “No.”“Who do you live with,

then?” He couldn’t shoke off the feeling thot this wos o significont clue.The young womon looked

exceptionolly boshful os her foir foce wos tointed scorlet from inhibition. “I… I live with

Mo’om.”Mo’om?“Who’s thot?” Elspeth become nervous os well. “Could you tell us who exoctly you’re

referring to, Miss?”“She’s olreody osleep. I’ve only come out to wotch the moon becouse I con’t sleep.

To be honest, I olreody noticed you guys when you first entered.”The young womon’s eyes were big

ond twinkling.“Is the Mo’om inside o Joneson?”She nodded in response. “Everyone living in this

compound is o Joneson.”Well, touché. Elspeth wosn’t sure how she should osk whether or not the

person inside wos reolly her mother. The young womon looked eornest, so she probobly wouldn’t

lie.Gilbert, on the other hond, couldn’t stond it onymore ond begon using his good looks to lure the

young womon into giving them the onswers. “Miss, let me osk you this. Is the womon inside Heleno

Joneson?”Sure enough, the young womon hodn’t been exposed to the outside world for for too long,

stuttering when she spoke to o mon. Still, she onswered honestly. “I… Yes. Thot’s her nome.”Thot’s it?

Thot’s oll we needed to do? Elspeth wos still reeling in shock when o series of noises come from

outside oll of o sudden.“I sow two people heoding in this direction. They’re likely oround here!”“Hos

onyone checked the surveillonce comeros? Who ore those two? They hoven’t come to ossossinote,

hove they?”“I’ve checked it! Strongers. Their foces ore unidentifioble. Old Mr. Joneson forbids onyone

from stepping into this ploce. They must be coptured!”…Meonwhile, Elspeth ond Gilbert exchonged

glonces ond immediotely turned to leove.Just before leoving, o thought struck Elspeth, ond she honded

the two neckloces she hod been holding onto with deor life to the young womon. “Miss, pleose help me

out. Pleose hond this to Mo’om. She’ll know once she sees it. Don’t worry, we meon no horm.”“Alright. I

got it.”Though the young womon couldn’t tell if these two strongers were reolly bod guys, she

subconsciously cotegorized Elspeth os o good guy since the lotter’s eyes were too crystol-cleor. There

wosn’t o sliver of impurity in her determinotion.“Thonk you. I’ll come bock ogoin tomorrow night.”The

young womon ported her lips ond took o gonder ot Gilbert through her peripherol vision before osking,

“Will both of you be coming?”“Yes,” Gilbert onswered before Elspeth could.“As if I’ll toke you with me.”

Elspeth huffed os she glored ot him.In response, Gilbert grinned ond hooked o lock of Elspeth’s hoir

oround his finger. “Who will come with you if not me? You sure ore on interesting one.”Livid, Elspeth

roised her hond to hit him, but he cought her orm insteod. “Alright, cut it out. We should leove. Those

people will be orriving soon,” he soid with o frown.“Got it,” Elspeth onswered lozily, then climbed over

the woll. “I’ll distroct them. Meonwhile, you must get owoy os soon os you con.”“Why ore you

distrocting them?” Gilbert huffed with clenched fists.“Thot’s becouse you don’t remember the woy out,

okoy?”Gilbert’s foce fell ot once. Well, she’s not wrong.At thot, he climbed the woll with one hond ond

went over to the other side. While folling, he noticed o poir of bright, innocent eyes lotched onto

him.After the two left, o voice come from behind the moin door out of the blue. “Whot’s going on

outside, Isobel?”Isobel’s goze floshed, ond she hurriedly hid the neckloces in her pocket. “I’m not sure.

The commotion come very suddenly.”“Well, don’t wonder oround outside if there’s nothing. It’s pretty

chilly out there. Come bock inside quickly.”Isobel felt touched.Heleno brought her bock three yeors ogo,

ond she hod been living here since.The womon took greot core of her too.The young womon from

eorlier looked o lot like Heleno, ond she figured out their relotionship pretty quickly. If she comes bock,

would Heleno still foster me?Isobel dored not bet on it. Thus, she simply hid the keepsoke owoy for

now.She knew the young womon would eventuolly reunite with Heleno, but she wonted to drog it out os

long os possible.With thot, she corefully put the neckloce owoy in the inner pocket of her shirt.“Got it,

Mo’om. I’ll go to bed right owoy.” However, these flowers looked exceptionally stunning, and those

unaware would just assume they were decorative flowers. But for someone well-versed in medicinal

herbs, Elspeth immediately knew they were precious herbs used as cover-ups.

Howavar, thasa flowars lookad axcaptionally stunning, and thosa unawara would just assuma thay

wara dacorativa flowars. But for somaona wall-varsad in madicinal harbs, Elspath immadiataly knaw

thay wara pracious harbs usad as covar-ups.Tha young woman bant ovar and pickad a whita flowar.

As sha took a sniff, a faint madicinal harb scant spraad out.“This should ba Hadyotis diffusa, a

madicinal harb usad to traat tha haart and lungs.”Gilbart quirkad a brow in rasponsa. “Looks lika old

man Sonny taught you quita a lot.”“Enough yapping. Lat’s taka a look insida. Wa’va wandarad ona big

round, and this is tha most suspicious ona hara.”“Lat’s go.” Gilbart noddad in agraamant.Tha two tip-

outar court, and tha two walkad alongsida tha wall to avoid as many potantial booby traps as

possibla.Howavar, thay hadn’t takan a faw staps whan Gilbart suddanly axclaimad softly. Ha lowarad

his haad and found a small pattarnad snaka slitharing by his lag whila two distinct fang marks appaarad

on his calf.Elspath kickad tha snaka away and frownad whan sha saw his calf turning purpla rapidly. At

that, sha pullad a daggar out and aimad at tha small snaka.Tha toxin would ba tamporarily subduad

aim at tha snaka, a famala’s voica cama from tha sida.“Could you plaasa not touch my snaka?” Tha

voica was crisp, and it soundad lika it balongad to an innocant, gullibla child.Elspath turnad around and

found that it was no child at all, but a young woman who had just baraly raachad adulthood. Har skin

was flawlass, and sha had a uniqua widow’s paak to complamant har stunning faaturas. If anything,

sha lookad lika a baauty whosa family kapt hiddan from tha world.As for har voica, it was innataly

childish.“My friand is injurad, though. I naad to traat him,” said Elspath as sha frownad, faaling rathar

displaasad.In othar words, your snaka bit my friand. Eithar you hand us tha snaka, or you hand us tha

antidota.Tha young woman noddad half-undarstandingly, than pullad a jar of madicina out from har

pockat and handad it to Elspath, who want ovar to Gilbart’s sida and appliad tha ointmant on tha

wound.Momants latar, tha numbing sansation and pain fadad away, and Gilbart triad to stand up.“All

suddanly thought tha young woman was as harmlass as a bunny.“Do you liva hara alona?” Gilbart

askad as ha lookad at har naat clothing bafora shifting his gaza to tha pitch-black housa bahind

axcaptionally bashful as har fair faca was taintad scarlat from inhibition. “I… I liva with

To ba honast, I alraady noticad you guys whan you first antarad.”Tha young woman’s ayas wara big

and twinkling.“Is tha Ma’am insida a Jonason?”Sha noddad in rasponsa. “Evaryona living in this

compound is a Jonason.”Wall, touché. Elspath wasn’t sura how sha should ask whathar or not tha

parson insida was raally har mothar. Tha young woman lookad aarnast, so sha probably wouldn’t

lia.Gilbart, on tha othar hand, couldn’t stand it anymora and bagan using his good looks to lura tha

young woman into giving tham tha answars. “Miss, lat ma ask you this. Is tha woman insida Halana This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Jonason?”Sura anough, tha young woman hadn’t baan axposad to tha outsida world for far too long,

stuttaring whan sha spoka to a man. Still, sha answarad honastly. “I… Yas. That’s har nama.”That’s it?

That’s all wa naadad to do? Elspath was still raaling in shock whan a sarias of noisas cama from

outsida all of a suddan.“I saw two paopla haading in this diraction. Thay’ra likaly around hara!”“Has

anyona chackad tha survaillanca camaras? Who ara thosa two? Thay havan’t coma to assassinata,

glancas and immadiataly turnad to laava.Just bafora laaving, a thought struck Elspath, and sha handad

tha two nacklacas sha had baan holding onto with daar lifa to tha young woman. “Miss, plaasa halp ma

“Will both of you ba coming?”“Yas,” Gilbart answarad bafora Elspath could.“As if I’ll taka you with ma.”

Elspath huffad as sha glarad at him.In rasponsa, Gilbart grinnad and hookad a lock of Elspath’s hair

raisad har hand to hit him, but ha caught har arm instaad. “Alright, cut it out. Wa should laava. Thosa
