Chapter 681 Visiting Cassidy Again

“I see. How about your body? Are you experiencing any discomfort?” Curtis asked. He was still concerned about Rayna's well- being.

Rayna shook her head. "No."

Apart from feeling a little giddy upon waking up, she was perfectly fine. In fact, she was feeling a lot better compared to the past few days.

"I'll take you to see Cassidy again later in the afternoon," Curtis said as he helped Rayna out of the bathroom.

"All right," Rayna replied softly as she stood there and watched Curtis squeeze some toothpaste onto a toothbrush.

"Let me know when you're done brushing your teeth," he said as he handed her the toothbrush and stepped out of the bathroom.

With a little glutton in the house, he couldn't just leave the breakfast on the table unguarded. He had to keep an eye on the food so that Furry wouldn't steal it.

With the toothbrush in hand, Rayna walked toward the bathroom door and glanced in the dining table's direction. Sure enough, Furry was sneaking its way toward the food, only to run off when Curtis made his way over.

Rayna couldn't help but let out a faint chuckle when she saw that.

"Ms. Cassidy! Ms. Cassidy! Bad news!" Yasmin exclaimed as she came running out of the warehouse.

Cassidy was brushing her hair at her dressing table when Yasmin barged anxiously into her bedroom. "What happened, Yasmin?” Yasmin pointed in the direction of the warehouse as she said hastily, "I-It's the warehouse! It was raining last night, and the rainwater got into the warehouse through a leak in the roof! The herbs inside have all been drenched!"

The look on Cassidy's face changed the moment she heard that. She then dropped her brush and ran toward the warehouse as quickly as her legs could carry her. She was frozen in shock when she got there and saw that the warehouse was slightly flooded.

"Look, Ms. Cassidy!" Yasmin exclaimed while pointing at the ceiling. As Cassidy looked up at the ceiling, she saw a hole that was clearly caused by something heavy falling through it.

"Go check the surveillance camera footage, Yasmin," Cassidy ordered. She then put on a pair of rubber boots and trudged into the warehouse to assess the situation. She clenched her fists when she saw that the bags of herbs were all immersed in water.

After taking a moment to scan the warehouse and take inventory of the herbs inside, she realized one of the herbs called "Groundlunger" was missing. Her eyes were filled with rage as she stood in the empty corner where Groundlunger was originally placed and muttered through gritted teeth, "Fernando Zeller!"

Meanwhile, in a manor in Jazona, a young man dressed in a brown trench coat walked up to a white- haired old man standing next to the pond. "Hello, Uncle." All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The white-haired old man turned around and asked, "Did you manage to get it?"

"I've already had someone send it over to the research center," the young man replied honestly.

"All right. You're dismissed," the old man said as he turned around and continued feeding the fish in the pond.

The young man nodded and left without saying anything further.

Soon after the young man's departure, the butler standing next to the old man stepped forward and commented, "Mr. Fernando sure did a great job this time, Old Mr. Zeller."

"Yeah." The old man then glanced at the butler through the corner of his eye and asked, "Have you taken care of the guys we sent afterward?"

"Yes, we've taken care of them last night,” replied the butler.

"Leave no loose ends," the old man reminded him as he threw the rest of the fish food into the pond. The butler then handed him a wet towel that he had prepared beforehand.

The old man took the wet towel over and wiped his hands with it. “Did you manage to find that thing?"

"Our men at the research center have been looking everywhere, but they have yet to find it. Those things come in pairs, so it is most likely searching for the other one," the butler replied while passing the wet towel to a maid standing nearby.

The old man glanced at the butler, who was following closely behind him. "Tell the men at the research center to put more effort into their search. That thing is incredibly useful. Our new products are counting on it. I want you to contact the technicians and see if they can remotely activate the chips planted inside that thing. We might be able to find the other one if we track it down using the chip."

The butler nodded in acknowledgement. "Understood."

Curtis saw that the front door to Cassidy's house was open when he and Rayna arrived.

They paused in surprise when they entered the courtyard and saw the bags of herbs piled up in the middle.

"What happened here?" Curtis asked Yasmin, who was busy laying the herbs out to dry.

Upon noticing that Curtis and Rayna had arrived, Yasmin stood up and called out to Cassidy, who was clearing out the water in the warehouse. "Ms. Cassidy! The guests from yesterday are here again!"

Cassidy stepped out of the warehouse with a broom and a metal dustpan in her hands. After pouring the water into a nearby drain, she looked up at the two and asked, "Who is it—"

Upon realizing that it was Rayna, Cassidy dropped her stuff and ran up to her. “Isabelle!"

Rayna stared at her in confusion. "You recognize me?"

"Of course! I'd always recognize you no matter what!" Cassidy wiped her hands dry with a towel and glanced at Curtis as she continued, "Is he your boyfriend?"

"He's my husband," Rayna replied.

"Oh..." Cassidy then waved a hand in front of Rayna's eyes and asked, "What happened to your eyes?"

"Car accident," Curtis replied on her behalf.

Cassidy stared at him in confusion. "Is there no way to treat her?"

"The doctors suggested that we stick with conservative treatment methods instead of going for surgery," Curtis explained.

Cassidy frowned slightly when she heard that. "Did the doctors not tell you what medication she needs?"

"No. They just told us to consult the traditional medicine practitioner in Shvomhid Mountain. They said we would find all the answers we needed," Curtis explained. What he didn't expect was that the traditional medicine practitioner had passed away long ago.

Just like that, what could've been a perfect plan was ruined completely.

"What brings you two to my place, then?" Cassidy asked.

"This." Curtis held Rayna's hand out and revealed the tiny red dot on her wrist.

While Cassidy didn't think much of the red dot, she instantly recognized the bracelet Rayna was wearing. "That emerald bracelet is from the Burke family!"

"You know what this is?" Rayna asked in surprise.

"Of course! Everyone in my line of work knows the Burke family!" Cassidy then grabbed Rayna's hand and started dragging her into the house. "Come on in! I'll take a look at your eyes!"

Curtis furrowed his brows when he walked past the courtyard and saw the bags of herbs that were soaking wet.

Cassidy led Rayna through the living room and reached the backyard. She then brought her to a little house in the back, unlocked the door with a key, and sat Rayna down on the couch.

The interior of the house had a simplistic design with a white color theme and minimalist furniture.

If anything, it looked more like a modern clinic than a traditional medicine practitioner's clinic.

"I thought you were a traditional medicine practitioner?" Curtis asked with an eyebrow arched as he entered the house.

"Who told you that? Was it Simone? Is that why you two came here today?" Cassidy asked.

"Yeah. You two know each other?” Rayna said.

"We were childhood friends! She promised to study traditional medicine with me but ended up going for modern medicine instead!" Cassidy exclaimed angrily.
