Chapter 1236

After Olivia's reminder, Alan said, "You're right! I was wrong. It was

goats. Also, there were those flowers that bloom during winter. What

are those called again?"

"Valerian. It has medicinal purposes. It helps with insomnia. Just ask if

you have any other questions," Olivia replied calmly with a confident

glow in her eyes.

Noticing that Olivia had seen through his ploy, Alan rubbed his nose

awkwardly. "I'll get to the point. What herbs were you looking for?"

"Moonflower. It's a flower that only blooms when the moon is out. Its

petals are bright and attract fireflies.”

Alan asked some more questions after that, but he wasn't able to find

any holes in Olivia's story.

"I apologize for what happened before this, Dr. Ophelia. Mr. Maxwell is

a little quick-tempered. You'll be rewarded handsomely if you heal him."

Olivia frowned. "I don't care for any rewards. I just want to be set free.

Who are you people?"

"Don't worry, Dr. Ophelia. We won't hurt you as long as you cooperate.

On the other hand, if you decide to do anything you shouldn't, I can

guarantee what will happen to you. Don't ask any more questions. I'll

take you to where you'll be living now."

Alan led the way and brought her to a small room.

“I'm sorry, but our resources are limited here. This is all we can offer

right now. You've had a good scare today. You should rest. Also, don't

even think about escaping. Mr. Maxwell gets very angry when people

don't obey him."

Alan stood at the door with a chilling smile. "Sweet dreams, Dr.

Ophelia.”

His smile faded after he closed the door. He looked at the person next

to him.

"Go to this address and look into this person.”

“Yes, Mr. Tanner.”

Olivia knew that they would have people look into her at Canwell City

as soon as possible. The face she was wearing was that of a doctor.

But the real person left home many years ago and died in an accident.

Not even the person's family members knew she was dead. There was

no way these men would know.

There wasn't anything suspicious in Olivia's bag, but there was a

tracker in one of her teeth. She also carried a pistol and a dagger on

her.

As for her phone, she was afraid that they would find something

suspicious on it since a lot of data could still be retrieved even if it were

deleted.

Hence, she threw her phone into the river before Wayne took her away.

It had probably drifted further downstream.

The first phase of the plan was a success.

She only had to gain Wayne's trust and get the ring as soon as

possible. Then, she could work with Undecim and leave this place.

She didn't get much sleep that night. She was on guard the whole time.

Alan knocked on Wayne's door in the morning.

Wayne opened his eyes lazily. "Did you finish looking into her?"

"Yes. Please take a look, Mr. Maxwell."

Alan handed him the information on the person known as Ophelia.

He said, "She seems fine from what we found. Ophelia left Canwell City

five years ago. There isn't time to look any deeper, so we only found

information about her from five years ago."

Wayne nodded and threw the document back to Alan.

"Bring that woman here to treat me."

Olivia was wide awake as soon as someone knocked on her door.

"Who is it?"

“Don't be afraid, Ms. Ophelia. It's me."

Olivia opened the door and looked at Alan cautiously. "You're the

reason I'm afraid. I didn't get a wink of sleep last night."
