Chapter 1858 Newcomer
âNo, donât put words in my mouth! What I mean is that the feeling we have for each other arenât as plentiful as my brother and his wife, but itâs good enough.â At that, Davin glanced at Levant. âAt least itâs better than his. He and his wife donât have any feelings for each other. Theyââ
Sheila quickly stomped on Davinâs foot and warned him through her gaze. Donât bring that up!
Indeed, when Davin turned to look at Levant, the latterâs expression had darkened. Feeling awkward, he clamped his mouth shut but wondered if Levant was actually upset about him joking about his loveless marriage. Everyone knows about this. Does he really mind with that temper of his?
Sheila then smiled and hastily jumped in to defuse the tense situation. âIâd say the relationships that Nicole, Evan, Levant, and Tiffany have are all good. Moreover, we canât compare them, for we go through different things. We just need to live our own lives well. Davin, if you keep saying nonsense like this, youâll end up having to court me.â
âHaving to court you?â Davin was unfazed.
Sheâs been the one courting me; thereâs no way Iâll do the same.
âIf you donât believe in it, Iâll let you know how itâs like once weâre back in Y City.â
âWhat do you mean? What are you trying to do?â he asked.
She smiled at him and replied meaningfully, âItâs a secret for now. Youâll know eventually.â
Nevertheless, he was unperturbed by her words and assumed she was only bluffing.
It was late in the night, and no one was in the mood to listen to them bicker. Hence, Levant turned to Evan and said, âLetâs see if there are any medical books in the treasure tomorrow that can cure his condition.â
Nicole nodded. âYes. Itâll be great if it does have something like that. If there isnât, Iâll bring him to the hypnotist in the town.â
âWhat if the hypnotist canât cure it?â Evan asked, looking at her.
Nicole pondered before replying, âItâs fine. Iâll tell you about the memories youâve lost. Weâll make it into a moment for us to reminisce about our good old days.â
Evan lowered his gaze and agreed, finding it a good idea. âAll right. Thatâll be it, then.â
The next morning, someone came to the cabin just as they were about to eat.
When they saw the newcomer, smiles appeared on their faces.
âFaye, have you recovered from the poison?â Nicole asked in concern.
Faye nodded. âYes. Iâve been cured after taking the antidote that you and Mr. Seet sent to me. I rested a few days afterward, and I even helped Mr. Kyle with some things before coming. Are you all doing well?â
âYes, we are. Faye, Iâm so glad that you came.â
âFaye, your presence here will help us a lot! Now, we donât need to be afraid of anyone.â
Faye chuckled. âI was too careless on Daemonic Mount the other time, which was why I was poisoned. This time, Iâd like to exchange a few blows with the people on Daemonic Mount again.â
Levant declared confidently, âYou have a chance to do that. Weâre planning to open the treasure by collaborating with Steven today. By then, The Four Guardians, no, wait, we currently have control over Shermaine. So, more specifically, there should only be three Guardians. Anyhow, they will surely appear. Youâll get the chance to fight with them when they do.â
Fayeâs curiosity was piqued. Who are the three Guardians? Nicole then patiently explained to her.
After hearing it, she frowned. âI see. So youâre planning to open the treasure? All you need is Girin Blood and the key?â
âThatâs right. Thatâs what the stone door at Treasure Trove wrote.â
âBut I remember that my grandpa saidâ¦â Fayeâs brows knitted even more tightly as she recalled what her grandfather had said to her.
âWhat did your grandpa say?â Davin asked curiously.
