Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2171

Only then did Baby Zetty somewhat resentfully shut her mouth.

Gale stood up and said, "Granny, now that we've cured their poison, I think it's time we leave."

Baby Zetty had just reunited with Brother Finn whom she had been missing for so long. She had not even gotten the chance to say everything that was on her mind yet. Hence, she was extremely reluctant to part with him.

Baby Zetty pleadingly looked at Gale. She knew that the eccentric Gale would have a way for her to stay by Gale's side.

Gale quickly saw through Baby Zetty's thoughts and could not help but say, "Granny, do you have more of those medicinal herbs? There's a forest of poisonous plants upfront. If we don't give them more of our Detoxifying Grass, your efforts to save them will be in vain today. I'm afraid they'll be poisoned again after walking ten miles from here."

Jenson had already deeply realized that they needed a healer by their side. Hence, he asked Baby Zetty sincerely, "May I know where you're headed, Granny?"

Baby Zetty said, "Well, I don't have anything important

to do...."

Gale secretly reminded her again, "That's too much. The more you show that you want to go with them, the more they'll doubt your motives."

Baby Zetty turned her words around and said, "I'm missing some medicinal ingredients back home, so I'm here to look for some in the mountains."

Jenson said, "Well, in that case, would you like to join us on this journey? We can help you find the ingredients, so will you help us with the poison and lead the way?" Baby Zetty pondered over it and said, "Then I'll be parting ways with you once I bring you to the top of the mountain."

Jenson said, "Thank you, Granny."

Baby Zetty shot a grateful glance at Gale and stuck her tongue out at him.

Gale reminded her in a whisper, "Don't make such funny faces. You're not a teen. You're an 80-year-old woman."

Baby Zetty whispered back, "Well, I'm still a teen on the inside."

Just like that, Baby Zetty and Gale joined Jenson's troop and they walked forward together.

However, Baby Zetty was old and frail, so she almost could not catch up after walking for some time with this group of young, fit men.

She clenched her teeth and tried enduring it for a long time. However, she could not hold on any longer and sat down on the rock next to her.

Jenson gave out an order saying, "Who here wants to carry her?"

Baby Zetty suddenly pointed at Finn and said, "I want him to carry me."

Since Baby Zetty had saved every one of them and Finn still remembered how she favored him, he did not refuse her request. He merely knelt and said," Come on over, then."

Baby Zetty did not know whether to laugh or cry when she noticed that Finn was a distance away. She pointed at the spot in front of her and said, "Come over here. I simply can't walk anymore." Finn had no choice but to compromise and walked toward her.

Baby Zetty crawled onto Finn's back, and his back froze slightly when she placed her hand on his left shoulder.

He recalled that Baby Zetty had the same habit when he carried her in the past.

However... this grandma was clearly not Baby Zetty.

Finn carried Baby Zetty as they trekked along the rugged mountain road.

Gale glanced at Baby Zetty from time to time. Seeing the calmness on her face, Gale could not help but shake his head and sighed.

No matter how formidable a girl was, they would still be a child in front of the person they fancied.

Why did he not understand this before?

Was he finally regretting it after losing her?

As Finn had carried Baby Zetty on his back for quite a distance, she felt sorry for him and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

She chatted on and on, "You have a good heart, young man. You seem to respect people of all ages. The gods will surely bless and protect you so that you'll live a long life."

Finn smiled bitterly and said, "I don't plan on living a long life, Granny."

He only needed to look for Baby Zetty and protect her for the rest of her life.

When night fell, it started raining again.

Jenson ordered the men to pitch tents on the flat ground. They even chivalrously provided a separate tent for Baby Zetty and Gale.
