âUrgh!â Emmeline screamed.
Abel was startled, and he almost collapsed to the ground. He asked, âWhatâs wrong? Emma, whatâs wrong? Have I injured you?â
âItâs not you. Itâs the remedy, itâs so spicy!â
Emmeline was almost in tears.
Waylon was taken aback, and he said, âWhen I learned this method, I only knew this was the way to treat it. I didnât anticipate such a response from you.â
âWhat should we do?â Abel wondered. He hesitated to continue because he felt bad for Emmeline.
Benjamin also frowned and concurred, âYeah, the spiciness caused Emma to cry.â
âIs it very painful?â Janie asked and worriedly held Emmelineâs hand.
Waylon explained, âThere isnât any other option. The film that was obstructing her vision is being dissolved by water from a willow tree branch, which is what is causing the spicy sensation in her eyes.
Emma has toâ¦put up with it.â
âWhat are we going to do?â Abel asked. He cringed as he felt sorry for Emmeline.
âNever mind!â
Emmeline bent down, scooped up the remedy from the basin, and splashed it onto her eyes.
She wailed, âOh my god! Itâs so spicy but refreshing!â Her tears were streaming down along with the water from the willow tree branches. It was so painful to watch that all three of the men closed their eyes. Janie also said with a choked voice, âEmma!â Kendra simply turned her face away. Emmeline gritted her teeth and repeatedly splashed the remedy into her eyes. The pain and spiciness eventually subsided after a dozen repetitions. She repeatedly rinsed her eyes a few more times before asking, âWaylon, is it okay now?â Her eyes had turned red when the three men turned to look at her face.
Waylon said, âYou need to wash a few more times. Your eyes seem to be a little clearer now.â âIâll do it.â
Abel picked up the gauze and gently cleaned Emmelineâs eyes. While he did that, he secretly cursed the Imperial Palace Lord in his mind and screwed his forefathers. Adam: I canât hear you anyway, and we share the same forefathers! Just go ahead and curse as much as you want! After washing her eyes, Emmeline closed her eyes and took a nap. When she woke up, she saw a dim light in them.
âWow!â She jumped up ecstatically and said, âI didnât suffer in vain. I can see light now!â
Waylon let out a sigh of relief. He explained, âYouâll be able to see images after the next treatment.
After that, youâll be completely recovered!â
Abel carried Emmeline and lifted her twice in excitement. He said, âThis is amazing!â
Emmeline exclaimed with joy, âThe remedy is so effective. Iâve picked up a new trick.â
Waylon said, âYou canât use this casually. Considering that Wraith Petal was originally a dirty trick from the martial arts world, my father destroyed it at the time.â
Emmeline wondered, âHow did Anthony get his hands on this formula? He is unrelated to our clan, right?â
Abel pointed out, âWe need to start the investigation with Anthony. Letâs settle down for a few days.
Then, Iâll look for his whereabouts.â
Benjamin proposed, âLetâs start with the Imperial Palace. I doubted he wouldnât leave any traces behind.â
Waylon agreed, âThat makes sense. For the time being, I wonât return to Osea but search for this man instead.â
Janie said angrily, âWeâll track him down and punish him severely! Let him experience the agony Emma went through!â
Benjamin gritted his teeth and concurred, âI agree! I wish I could torture him!â
Abelâs eyes were filled with murderous intent as he said, âThings wouldnât end well for him!â
âWaylon, youâre not going back?â Emmeline asked as she happily grabbed Waylonâs hand.
Waylon said as he indulgently rubbed her head, âYeah, youâre not worried about me disciplining you?â
Emmeline curved her eyes as she chuckled, âIâll just behave myself, okay? I promise I wonât give you a chance to do that to me.â
âYouâre a clever one, arenât you?â Waylon chuckled as he lightly touched Emmelineâs forehead.
Emmeline beamed broadly while leaning on Waylonâs shoulder.
Abel became ecstatic after seeing how happy everyone was. He suggested, âHow about we throw a party for Emma tonight?â
âI concur!â Benjamin seconded.
Janie raised her hand and said, âIâm in!â
Waylon said, âIâm in too, but I have one condition.â
âWhatâs the condition?â Everyone asked simultaneously.
