Chapter 1244

Glancing at the trellis Evan organized earlier, Draven understood that he was anxious to obtain the
cure for Nina. Thus, he did not continue pressing.

In the evening, the entire Nepenthe Valley was spotless and approved by Crystal Rose.

“Not bad. I can give them thirty percent of the cure tonight.”

Immediately, Nina’s eyes shone with hope while Monica was filled with happiness after knowing she
was saved.

That night, the duo followed Crystal Rose into a secret chamber. There, the latter ordered someone to
prepare two wooden buckets filled with precious herbs, and the entire room was filled with its rich
scent.

“You guys can go and soak inside for two hours. After that, I’ll check your pulse and give you the
medication.”

Monica and Nina exchanged glances. The former was obviously hesitating, staring at the wooden
bucket with a frantic look on her face.

Meanwhile, Nina answered, “Okay,” and proceeded to soak herself in the herbs.

Crystal Rose shot a look at Monica. “Do you still want the cure? If not, you can leave right now.”

Since Monica was left with no other choice, she decided to go along with it.

“Y-Yes. I want to.” After saying that, she dipped herself into the wooden bucket.

Two hours seemed to pass by longer than usual. Nina had her eyes closed, silently sitting inside the
wooden bucket.



On the other hand, Monica was growing antsier and antsier. “Do you feel a kind of weird sensation?
Like ants are biting all over your body?” She could not help but ask.

Nina shook her head. “Nope. I only feel that the water feels warm and relaxing.”

Relaxing? Why don’t I feel the same way? Perhaps there’s something wrong with the water?

At that moment, Monica was growing more and more anxious by the passing minute. Seeing that they
were the only ones inside the chamber, she clambered out of the bucket and walked in front of Nina.
After taking a good look, she realized that the water inside was entirely the same color and smell as
hers, even having the same temperature.

Why are we having different experiences soaking inside if that’s the case?

“Nina, how about we exchange buckets?”

“You can ask Crystal Rose about it first. If she agrees, I’ll exchange it with you.”

Monica was taken aback and planned to find a reason to persuade her. However, Crystal Rose
suddenly walked inside and scolded, “Who told you to come out?”

“I don’t feel good, so I wanted to come out and ask Nina how she felt.”

“Both of you are using the same herbs, so there’s no way one will feel uncomfortable. It’s your fault if
you have a low tolerance toward the medication. Get back to your bucket. You’ll need to stay for
another hour.”

Upon hearing that, Monica was speechless. However, she decided not to defy Crystal Rose, for she
was the only one who could save her. Thus, Monica returned to the bucket.



After Nina finished soaking, Crystal Rose checked her pulse and prepared a mixture of precious herb
powder for her.

“Once you take this herb powder, you won’t feel as exhausted the next morning. Look, your complexion
is not as ghastly as before either.”

“Thank you.”

“No need. You still have new conditions to fulfill tomorrow, so head back and get a good rest.”

Once Nina headed back, the three men looked her up and down and realized she indeed looked better
than before.

“Nina, how do you feel?”

“I’m feeling way better than before, having more energy too.”

“That’s good news. It seems that Crystal Rose certainly lives up to her name! However, it’s unsure what
tasks she’ll ask us to do tomorrow,” Davin grumbled. Suddenly, he asked, “Where’s Monica? Did she
not come back with you?”
