When Molly rushed in, Olivia was actually quite scared. Fortunately, this man protected her temporarily. Although she didn't know who he was, she still expressed her gratitude to him.
"Thank you! Sir, you are really a good person!"
Robert coldly hooked his lips. A good person? It's ridiculous. He had never heard anyone call him a good person in his entire life.
Olivia felt that this man's gaze was particularly sharp. When he looked at people, it seemed as if he could penetrate their souls.
"I thought you said you wanted to treat the illness, let's begin!" The man looked at her and spoke in a flat tone.
"Sir...if I cure your illness, can you let me go home?" Olivia asked weakly.
She had only managed to escape from the maid, but her ultimate goal was to get away from here. She didn't want to marry that terrible madman.
"You don't have the right to bargain with me."
"Oh, okay! Your illness seems to have been going on for a long time..." Olivia's grandmother lived deep in the mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou, and was a highly respected Miao doctor who was skilled in using herbs to treat illnesses. Olivia had lived with her grandmother for many years when she was young and had learned some techniques from her.
From Robert's facial features and lifestyle habits, she could roughly guess his illness. He was still awake at such a late hour, and he had serious dark circles under his eyes, was slightly lethargic, had a bad temper, and his eyes were full of hostility. His liver was inflamed.
This man was really seriously ill!
Although it may not necessarily cure the illness, it can certainly alleviate the symptoms."Shall we start now?" Robert casually leaned towards Olivia.
As Olivia spoke, she stepped back, feeling that this man was full of danger for some reason.
He almost cornered Olivia in a small corner of the large sofa.
Moreover, his eyes seemed to carry some strange desire.
As if there was something on this woman that he wanted.
"Sir, please don't rush. I can treat you now, but I need some medicinal herbs..."
Olivia actually wanted to delay until dawn, when the visibility was better and it would be easier to escape.
"Write down the names of the herbs."
The man didn't hesitate and threw a pen and paper over.
Olivia sat in a chair, racking her brains for a long time, almost biting the pen to pieces.
Finally, she wrote down a few Chinese herbs and pushed it towards Robert with a smile, saying, "It's already past one o'clock, I'm afraid we won't be able to buy them now. Shall we go to the pharmacy tomorrow morning?"
Robert glanced at her casually and then said to the person behind him, "Tony, bring the owner of the Chinese medicine shop here!"
Every word seemed casual, but it was full of intimidation.
Olivia was stunned at his words. What kind of hot-tempered man had she provoked? He was going to bring the owner of the Chinese medicine shop here in the middle of the night?
"Got it!" Assistant Daniel immediately agreed and left.
While waiting for the medicine to arrive, Olivia began to look around the bedroom. It was also very large and luxurious, but had a more modern and masculine feel with a cool-toned decor. High-end carpets covered every corner, and even the doorknobs were plated with gold.The ivory carvings on the desk were understated yet luxurious.
The man had changed into a deep purple robe, looking elegant and noble. Olivia couldn't help but steal a few glances at him. He was handsome, incredibly handsome. His looks were aggressive and perfect from every angle. He was definitely the epitome of beauty.
Before, she had always thought that John was the most handsome man in Maple City, but compared to this man, John was nothing.
Ten minutes later, Daniel came in with the owner of the pharmacy, who was carrying several Chinese medicinal herbs. It looked like they had been dragged out of bed, as his clothes were buttoned up wrong and he looked very afraid, his hands trembling as he held the herbs.
Robert frowned, "Get out!" The pharmacy owner quickly put down the herbs and left, bowing his head in fear.
Soon, only Robert and Olivia were left in the room. Robert sat on the sofa, his black eyes glancing at Olivia.
"Can we start now?"
"Uh, okay..."
Olivia knew she couldn't avoid it anymore. Whether it was life or death, she had to give it a try!She opened the medicine bag, which contained high-quality Chinese herbs. As soon as she opened it, she smelled the strong aroma of the herbs.
Actually, it wasn't anything special, just dried mugwort and a mugwort incense burner.
She placed the mugwort in the incense burner and lit it. In no time, the room was filled with the aroma of mugwort.
"Young Master, please sit here... Lie down and rest your head here."
The woman's voice was gentle like spring rain, and her slender and resilient fingertips accurately pinched Robert's temple.The aroma of plants in the air made him feel like he had entered a peaceful and deep forest. He seemed to be in a gentle grassland, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed.
How long had it been since he had enjoyed such peace?
Robert's deep eyes couldn't help but gaze at the petite woman in front of him. Under the light, her delicate face was slightly drunk, her eyes focused and serious, and she was charming beyond words.
He didn't expect this woman to have some skills.
Soon, Robert gradually entered a dream.As she watched the extraordinarily handsome man in front of her gradually enter a dream, like a fierce tiger finally retracting its claws, Olivia breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to let go and leave, the man suddenly exerted force with his arm, and she fell into his arms unprepared.
"Ah!"
She couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.
The man's embrace was firm and secure, filled with a strong hormone scent.
Olivia was uncomfortable being held by him, and her whole body was stiff.She struggled to get away, but the man tightened his arms around her.
What did this man want to do?
Just as she was about to resist, the man didn't make any further moves and just held her like that, motionless. Soon, he fell asleep again.
While he was asleep, Olivia tried to escape from his embrace, but ultimately failed.
Olivia was already exhausted from the night, and eventually fell asleep in a daze.
...
The next day, as the sky was just beginning to lighten, Daniel pushed open the door and saw this ambiguous scene.
He was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of his head.
If the scene he had seen on the sofa before was just a coincidence, then this was confirmation.
This was simply unbelievable.
He suddenly remembered that after Young Master fell ill before, he would lie in bed for several days and couldn't see anyone.
But last night, he quickly returned to normal, and all of this seemed to be related to the woman in front of him.But according to tradition, the new bride who married into the Johnson Family would be "handled" on the second day.
This time, they might have to make an exception, right?
