Morning arrived faster than one could say Westridge.At Mount Rushmore…Robin knelt before his father as he always did whenever he visited.He took his hand and kissed it.“Father,” he whispered, emotion thick in his voice. “I’ve found the second herb. As you can see, I’m working very hard. So just hold on for me. Don’t even think about giving up.”His jaw tightened. “I’ll bring you back. I promise.”Katherine stood behind him. She had long grown tired of crying. Now, she simply stood there, expressionless. Yet beneath that stillness, a faint flicker of joy lingered for the first time in days.And this was because of the second herb in Robin’s hand.“Here, keep it.”Robin rose and handed it to her.Katherine accepted it and put it away carefully.“I’ll leave now. I have things to attend to. Thank you for your hard work,” Robin said as he turned.Katherine walked beside him.“I heard about what happened yesterday, Young Master,” she said, anger flashing in her eyes. “Do you need the t

A mother would stop her son when he was being rude to a guest, not to mention kicking him out so condescendingly.But Audrey didn't.She only stood there. And at Reid's words, she simply said coolly, just because of that warning her husband had given before leaving, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ramsay, but your expertise is no longer needed. I hope you don't take offense, but I prefer Dr. Silas to handle this. If you don't mind, please leave."Robin let a disappointing sigh. "Mrs. Langford, are you and your son not going too far? I was invited by Charles and Will. Even if you don't need my expertise anymore, shouldn't I stay and wait for at least one of them to return? It'll be rude to leave just like that, don't you think?" Naturally, Robin didn't even need to stay and be asking this, he could have simply left. But he couldn’t bring himself to leave Charlotte, who Charles and Will had left in his care. What if this Silas was a fraud?What if he failed to treat her?He hadn't mentioned, but the y

Robin paused in his tracks.An old figure had already dropped to his knees before him. Robin didn’t even look—he already knew who it was.Naturally, it was the Medical Sage.“Robin,” Sheila called as she walked over. Clearly, she had come with him.Robin pursed his lips. “Did you tell him I was here?” he asked flatly, clearly referring to the Medical Sage.Sheila laughed. “Only you would act like the legendary Medical Sage is a nuisance. Other people would pay a fortune just to have him glance at them.”Robin rolled his eyes. “That doesn’t answer my question.”“I did, Grandmaster,” a voice came from behind him.Silas.His face was flushed, his expression like a child who had just tattled.“You snitch,” Robin said without turning. Then his gaze dropped to the Medical Sage. “Won’t you get up, old man? Aren’t you embarrassed, kneeling in front of your apprentice?”“Haha!” The Medical Sage laughed as he rose to his feet. “You are my master, why should I be? So what if he sees me kneel? He

A few minutes later, Sheila's car rolled to a stop a short distance from a hut that leaned toward the road as if weary of standing. Smoke drifted up through its thatch. Beneath it, an old woman stirred a blackened pot while an elderly man, presumably her husband, served the guests. Together they hummed a soft tune as they worked.Robin took in the sight, his brows drawing together. He had asked for somewhere simple, but he hadn't expected Sheila to bring him here."Look at them," Sheila said, as though she'd sensed his surprise. "The way they look at each other while they serve their guests... It fills me with envy. I wish I could grow old the way they have. I wouldn't mind being poor like them if it meant having the peace their love gives them."Robin took in the sight once more and sighed. No wonder a heiress like her noticed a rundown place like this. The old couple lived out her dream. But was there really love like this left in the world? His thoughts drifted to Sarah, to how de

"Hahaha." At her words, Robin didn't know how else to react, so he burst out laughing."And what's so funny?" Sarah snapped, his laughter grating on her nerves.Robin looked at her and shook his head. Then he stood up. "We're leaving."Sheila was taken aback, her heart sinking. They had come out to unwind and let loose, and it was ending just like that? Especially when she'd been sharing such a sweet moment with Robin, one that might not come easily again. Her gaze settled on Sarah, the hatred left unmasked. She wished she could simply wipe this bitch off the face of the earth.But in the end she said nothing. She only nodded at Robin and stood up, then settled the bill. "I'm ready."Robin nodded and started toward the car. Sarah stood there, stunned.Did he just ignore her?It took a moment for that to sink in, and when it did, her expression darkened."Robin!" she bellowed, rushing after him and cutting off his path. "You're walking out on me? Didn't you hear what I said? Are you re
