Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2146

At this moment, Gale took out some herbs he had collected and handed them over to Baby Zetty, saying, " Granny, do you think these herbs can be used for detoxification as well?"

Baby Zetty was overjoyed and filled with praises for Gale. "Woah! You're too awesome, Gale. You actually found some top-notch detoxification herbs."

Gale smiled and said, "That's great!"

Baby Zetty detoxified Gale first as she would need his help in gathering herbs for her. Gale had truly lived up to her expectations. Although he would appear and disappear unpredictably, he would always come back with a pleasant surprise for Baby Zetty.

With Baby Zetty's extraordinary medical skills and Gale's outstanding practical ability, they made Jay and the others become even more suspicious of their identities.

Cole was a doubtful person by nature. He secretly said to Jay, "I think that these two must have other ideas for always clinging to us. Should we find a way to get rid of them?"

Jay objectively said, "There's poison everywhere in Sacred Land. We can't go anywhere without Lady

Winter's help."

Cole replied, "Then we'd have to probe something out of them too."

Jay nodded in agreement.

Hence, Cole immediately interrogated Baby Zetty in front of everyone, asking, "Granny Winter, why did you come to Sacred Land?"

Cole's tone sounded so unkind that it made Baby Zetty feel somewhat helpless.

She knew that she had to find a way to dispel their worries and doubts. Otherwise, it would be hard for her to lend them a hand.

Baby Zetty took her bundle bag out and showed them Boye's ashes, saying, "I was entrusted by someone to send this back to Sacred Land." "What is this?"

"Ashes."

The scaredy-cat Zayne was so terrified that he fell straight to the ground. "You mean, human ashes?"

He soothed his chest and said in a frightened manner, "That's horrifying. I'll have nightmares if I know I've been sleeping in the same room as the dead." Jay was puzzled as he took the liberty to ask, "Whose ashes?"

If someone else had asked this question, Baby Zetty would perhaps beat around the bush.

However, since Daddy was the one who asked her, she instinctively replied, "Mr. Lynne Boye."

Jay's eyes appeared stunned...

"Boye's ashes?" He repeatedly tried to confirm it, utterly in disbelief.

Baby Zetty nodded.

Jay looked at Baby Zetty suspiciously. "What's your relationship with her?"

Baby Zetty lowered her head. A trace of hesitation flashed across her eyes.

Jay's fierce gaze was fixed on her face. At this moment, he felt that the familiarity and intimacy she made him feel might not be something that came out of nowhere.

Baby Zetty suddenly raised her head and said, "I'm a villager from Serpent Land. Mr. Boye had saved my life before so after learning that she was dead, I went to the laboratory's ruins and grabbed a handful of soil. Mister once told me that her greatest wish in life was to return to her homeland. That's why I wanted to send her home."

Baby Zetty's words could perhaps fool someone like Zayne.

However, her story was filled with loopholes when uttered in front of the meticulous Jay.

Boye had been on the run her whole life. How could she easily tell a patient about her homeland? Would that not be self-destructive behavior?

Jay walked toward Baby Zetty while trembling. He squatted down and looked at Baby Zetty in scrutiny. This made Baby Zetty feel somewhat guilty as she said with a smile, "Why are you staring at me like that, Sir Ares?"

"How old are you this year, Lady Winter?" Jay asked dimly.

His tone sounded bleak.

Baby Zetty pondered and said, "I'm 76 years old this year."

Jay dug his nails into his flesh...

"But it seems like your words and actions resemble that of a 16-year-old-girl?" Jay said.

Although Baby Zetty looked old, she was still a child after all. She did not have the capability to deal with the more experienced Jay Ares.
