Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2133

Upon hearing Cole's words, the young lady became excited and said, "I can find someone to help you relieve the poison's effects. But you have to promise me that you'll stay here for a while." "No," Jay immediately refused.

Cole said, "My dear cousin, sacrificing personal interests in exchange for the happiness and stability of the people in Imperial Capital... This trade is worth it."

Zayne smacked his lips sourly and said, "Besides, it's not such a hard task."

Jay was fuming as he said, "Have you forgotten about the lesson Judy taught us?"

Zayne replied, "Come on. We're in such a faraway place at the moment. Your wife won't find out about the things we're doing here. Don't worry about it. We'll keep it a secret."

Jay coldly snorted, obviously venting his frustration with them.

"Save him first, and we'll talk later."

Hence, Jay and the others settled down in the young lady's bamboo house.

The young lady was someone who kept her promise. After their meal, she said to Jay, "I'll go get you a healer, Mister. Don't wander too far now. There are many poisonous plants around here, so it'll be troublesome if you touch any of them."

Zayne's tongue was great proof of this lesson. Jay also knew that this deep forest was unlike any other deep forest. This area was a place favored by witch doctors, which could only mean the plant varieties here were somewhat unique.

"Mm," Jay replied faintly.

After the young lady left, Jay went over to stand by Grayson and Andy's sides. Looking at their increasingly haggard bodies, Jay felt highly distressed.

"Don't worry about us, Daddy." Andy felt very guilty when she noticed how panicked Jay had been for her throughout their journey here.

Jay said, "An, you have to remember that you must never give up hope."

"Okay."

In the evening, the young lady returned with an older woman.

The young lady introduced to Jay, "This is my Gran-gran. She has excellent medical skills."

Jay suddenly became defensive and he asked the old lady a few questions for safety's sake, "What kind of diseases do you usually treat, Granny?"

The old lady said arrogantly, "Everything."

Jay frowned at this. Doctors were divided into several specialties, and general practitioners were inevitably not professional enough for some illnesses. However, looking at this old lady's demeanor and overly- confident face, it was evident that she had some sort of rare capabilities.

Jay said, "Granny, can you please have a look at my daughter?"

Jay brought the old lady over to Andy. At that moment, Andy's hands were exposed. Seeing that her fingernails had turned black all over, the old lady could not help but cry out in alarm. "Oh!"

Jay fixed his eyes on the old lady and asked, "Have you seen this illness before, Granny?"

The old lady looked at Jay suspiciously. "How did she come into contact with this disease?" There was a sharp cryptic gaze spreading across her lowered eyes.

Jay was on high alert and replied, "My daughter is a high school student, so perhaps she was infected by someone else."

The sharp gaze in the old lady's eyes gradually faded and she said, "It's not possible for me to treat this disease."

Jay was well aware that this disease was particularly tricky, so he did not force the old lady into doing something. Hence, he decided to make some inquiries, "Granny, do you know where Sacred Land is?" The old lady said, "You're headed to Sacred Land? They call it the place of no return."

Jay glanced at Andy who was almost at her last breath and knew that there was not much time left. Jay had to race against time now, so he solemnly replied, "My daughter's life is at stake, Granny. I can't just give up on her. So no matter how dangerous the place is, we have to try heading there."
