Chapter 353
Chapter 353 What’s Between You and Him
“You want to know why?”
Arthur pulled an inexplicably baffling and amorous smile at Elspeth, who held her breath and said, “Tell me.”
“It’s a secret!” With that, the man walked away resolutely.
Then, something seemed to have hit him as he turned back around. “That reminds me. Our engagement party was ruined. We’ll have to redo it in a
couple of days. You better get ready for it again.”
Elspeth had just lost interest in why he would poison Ginna, and now he threw this bomb at her.
“Can’t we just leave it as it is? We’ve already done it once, and everyone already knows.”
All things aside, just having to wake up at 5.00AM to get her makeup done was already torturous enough.
“That won’t fly. I’m a man of principles; everything needs to be done through and through.” Arthur shook his head with a frown. It seemed that he
cared a lot about this matter.
In the end, he still left after he said everything he wanted to.
Elspeth didn’t have anything important to see to either. Then, it suddenly occurred to her that she hadn’t given Isabel the medicinal herbs she had
brought back the other time. Hence, she decided to buy a few other medicinal herbs from the hospital to mix with that batch after reaching home.
However, there were too few medicinal herbs in hospitals abroad. Even if the hospital she was in had the city’s largest medicinal herb dispensary, she
couldn’t enter as she pleased, let alone obtain those medicinal herbs.
Still, she went with a glimmer of hope.
Just as she arrived at the entrance, the middle-aged man guarding the medicinal herb dispensary stood up and cautioned gravely, “Persons
concerned only, miss. Please leave.”
“I’d like to purchase some medicinal herbs. May I please speak to your person-in-charge about it?” Elspeth asked politely.
“But...” Seeing that a stunning, polite woman pleaded to him, the middle-aged man started hesitating.
At that, Elspeth began imploring and talking her way into it. Coupled with her impeccable smile, the man gave in immediately. “Alright, alright, let me
check.”
With that, the man left and returned with a Damorian guy, whom Elspeth thought looked familiar but just couldn’t quite figure out where she had seen
him.
As the latter was also from Damoria, he lowered his guard immediately after seeing Elspeth, and he asked, “May I know what you’ll be doing with
these medicinal herbs, miss?”
“I have a friend seeking medical treatment,” she answered euphemistically, “and I happened to specialize in traditional medicine, so I’d like to buy
some medicinal herbs.”
Hearing that she specialized in traditional medicine, the man narrowed his eyes slightly, and he sized her up arbitrarily with his piercing gaze. “You
look like you’re just in your early twenties, and you say you specialize in traditional medicine?”
Elspeth suspected that the man doubted her because she said she “specialized’ in the study, so she backtracked her words at once. “Well, not really. I
just know a thing or two.”
“Know a thing or two, and you already dare treat someone else so casually. Are you not worried you’ll cause your friend misfortune?”
The man was displeased no matter what she said.
“Yes, I only know a thing or two, and I’m not skilled enough, but my mentor’s a master in traditional medicine. Nothing will happen to her.”
At that, the man became even more skeptical. “You have a mentor? What’s his name?”
Anyone with a good temper would’ve long become annoyed after so much questioning, let alone Elspeth.
“This doesn’t have much to do with my wish to purchase medicinal herbs, does it?” Elspeth’s gaze turned cold.
“Of course, it does. If something bad happens to your friend after consuming the medicinal herbs you got from us, people will come to us after finding
out the source of those herbs. So, to avoid any unnecessary issues, I have to get things straight.” At the end of the day, the man was just doing his
job. “I only have some trust in you and asked so many questions because you’re also from Damoria. If it were someone else, I’d have shooed them
away immediately.”
“I’m really sorry. I can’t tell you my mentor’s name. But I can most certainly treat my friend’s illness.” Elspeth realized her overreaction might have
upset him.
“In that case, you can forget about purchasing any medicinal herbs from us.” The man’s expectant gaze dimmed at once.
After all, how could anyone bet on a person’s life so easily?!
“Well, can I please have a private moment with you? I’ll tell only you,” Elspeth negotiated, seeing that the man wanted to leave.
He stopped at once, and he looked side-eyed toward the foreign man next to him. The latter understood at once and walked away acquiescently, as
unwilling as he was.
“Alright, tell me.”
Now that it was just the two of them, Elspeth answered frankly. “He’s Sonny Schwartz.”
The man’s expression stiffened at once. “Are you sure that’s his name?”
“Yeah. Do you happen to know him personally?” Elspeth’s heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicably ominous feeling crept up to her, for his
expression wasn’t one of the joys of encountering a friend but the repulsion of meeting a foe.
Sure enough, the man turned grim at once. “I can’t sell my herbs to you then.”
The next second, he turned and left angrily.
With that, Elspeth went up to him and grabbed his wrist in desperation.
She had such a firm grip on him that he couldn’t break free at all. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. “What are you doing?”
“I really need the herbs. I hope you can overlook the grudges between you two and sell them to me,” Elspeth entreated anxiously, causing a chuckle
of anger to escape the man. “You think I have a grudge against him? Do you even know the backstory?”
Elspeth was rendered at a loss for words for a moment. “But you turned me down as soon as you heard my mentor’s name. Is there no grudge
between you two?”
The man hurriedly wrested his wrist free while she was distracted. “Alright, fine. You’ve proven your point. You really have to buy them, don’t you?”
“Of course.” Elspeth nodded.
“In that case, you have to pass my test.” The man felt his chin before continuing, “As long as you pass this test, I can give it to you for nothing.”
Have I just hit the jackpot?

“Alright.” Elspeth nodded. “What’s the test?”
“You can use all the herbs in this dispensary. I will specify a sickness, and you have to dispense it. As long as I am pleased with your results, I will
give you the herbs for free.”
Well, it wasn’t a difficult task, but it wouldn’t be easy either.
Back when she was living with Sonny, the old man would force her to dispense medicine every day. With time, she would know what herbs have been
dispensed for certain medications without even having to look at the prescription.
“But if I’m not happy with the result... You will have to leave immediately.”
